Specifications include, but are not limited to: A. Project Kickoff Meeting - Meet with a local project steering committee identified by the Town, ACRPC, and VTrans officials to develop a clear understanding of the project goals, objectives, timelines and deliverables. B. Compile Base Map/Document Existing Conditions - Compile a base map using available mapping including VT Digital Orthophotos, digital parcel maps for the Town (if available) and other natural resource-based GIS data available from the ACRPC or the Vermont Center for Geographic Information (VCGI). The compiled information must be displayed in an ArcViewcompatible format. Display of typical sections and other engineering type drawings may be done with software other than ArcView. Items to be mapped may include: natural resource constraints, utilities, historic and archaeological constraints, etc. The consultant may elect to undertake a topographic survey to more accurately map existing buildings, drainage facilities and any other features that may be critical to the design of the project. C. Develop Conceptual Alternatives - In cooperation with the Town staff and ACRPC the consultant will be responsible for identifying potential alternatives for the proposed intersection and parking solutions utilizing the information compiled for the base plan, and site visit(s). In developing conceptual alternatives, the consultant should identify any potential constraints on the alternative. Constraints might include natural resource issues, right-of-way, property ownership, utilities, etc.
