ACTIA Bike/Ped Countywide Discretionary Fund Grant Agreement ACTIA #: A05-0033 Sponsor: East Bay Regional Park District ATTACHMENT B PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Coordinated Funding Application submitted for Measure B Bicycle and pedestrian Countywide Discretionary Funds, Cycle 2 (2005), is incorporated herein by reference. Project Useful Life: Not applicable. Project Description: The East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) will complete a feasibility study for the Alamo Canal Trail undercrossing ofInterstate 580 and the BART tracks. This facility would close a 600-foot gap in the existing Alarno Canal Trail, creating a continuous 3.6 mile Class I bicycle and pedestrian path. The Alamo Canal Trail connects the Iron Horse Trail in Dublin to the Arroyo Del Valle Trail in Pleasanton. The feasibility study project is intended to create a preferred design alternative and credible cost estimate that will advance this capital project by bringing it closer to the construction phase. This planning project will determine operationally-required elements, community-desired elements and engineering challenges to building the trail. The project will produce a feasibility study which will discuss the following: . Community input on this trail segment, . Engineering that will be required to build a trail crossing under the 1-580 freeway and BART line, . Potential environmental and other impacts that must be considered for design and construction phases, . Potential impacts of building a trail adjacent to a waterwaylflood control channel, . Required permits, . Required right-ot~way and all property rights involved in the project, . Potential utility issues, . Agencies/entities that must be involved or contacted about this project, . A preferred design alternative, and . Potential costs for project design, construction and maintenance. The majority of this project budget (approximately 90%) will be used for the services of a consultant who will complete the following tasks, at a minimum: kick-off meeting; base map; existing conditions; field survey; engineering and geotechnical review; preliminary design; CEQA initial study; stakeholders meeting; and the final feasibility study. The EBRpD will work with the Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton as well as Caltrans, BART, Zone 7 Water Agency, and the Hacienda Business Park Association in developing this project; and will strive to develop a recommended design that is mutually agreeable to all parties. Focused public outreach will be conducted as part of the project.
