SRTS-2022 Design Assistance Program Township of West Orange November 13, 2023 Revised July 16, 2024 Page 7 of 8 plans in support of the Environmental Document. GPI will use the NJDOT PE Report template as a guide as it lists all the items to be included in the Draft PE Report, aside from those listed in assumptions below, which are not relevant to the project. With some of the proposed improvements being within Essex County’s rights-of-way of Pleasant Valley Way and Gregory Avenue, the Draft PE Report will also be submitted to the County for their review and comment. Assumptions: The following items normally associated with the NJDOT PE Report template will not be prepared as a part of Activity 3160, as they are not relevant to the project and not required by Local Aid Federal project handbook: 1. Design Exception Report 2. Alternatives Analysis Report 3. Pavement Recommendation Report 4. Complete Streets Checklist 5. Design Communications Report 6. Risk Register 7. Updated Utility Risk Assessment Plan 8. Draft Management Plan 9. Final Design Public Involvement Action Plan 10. Final Design Scope Statement 11. Preliminary Engineering Quality Certification Township and NJDOT Reviews Draft Preliminary Engineering Report (3205): It is anticipated that the Township and NJDOT will review the Draft PE Report and provide comments for incorporation in the PE Report. County comments on the Draft PE Report will be provided to the Township and discussed with the Township to determine resolution of the comments. We will address all comments and resubmit the PE Report to the Township and NJDOT for forwarding to FHWA, if necessary, for review and approval. Hold Public Information Center (3865): GPI will participate and prepare the mailing list, the handout, presentation material and minutes with attached sign-in sheet for one (1) anticipated Public Information Center (PIC). The goal of the PIC is to obtain public input on the preliminary engineering design. The PIC is a community outreach forum to develop a partnership with the public. The public is a stakeholder, along with local and state officials, and public interest groups. It is preferable to obtain documentation of local support before the PIC. It is anticipated that the Township and NJDOT Local Aid will review the PIC handout and mailing list. The presentation material may include: an aerial of the study area,

local support before the PIC. It is anticipated that the Township and NJDOT Local Aid will review the PIC handout and mailing list. The presentation material may include: an aerial of the study area, preliminary plans, existing and proposed typical sections, environmental concerns and construction staging. It is anticipated that the Township will secure the meeting facility for the PIC, and, if necessary, hold individual meetings with the property owners. Prepare Categorical Exclusion Document (3870): GPI anticipates completing Sections I and II of the Categorical Exclusion Document and submitting the same to NJDOT Local Aid who will forward it to BEPR for completion. GPI will provide a shapefile (.shp) delineating the limit of disturbance (LOD) for the project, along with a separate shapefile encompassing the LOD and each parcel directly adjacent to the project. Additionally, GPI will provide BEPR with a summary detailing the necessity and locations of all new impervious surfaces and new ground disturbances, as well as permanent and temporary impacts associated with the project. GPI recognizes that this task typically requires a long lead time for the NJDOT BEPR unit to finalize and therefore will make every effort to complete the required documentation early in the PE Phase to mitigate any potential delays. The grant name will be used as the name of the project in the CED. Assumptions: The following assumptions are in addition to those stated in the previous activity descriptions for this task order:  Proposed improvements will be located within the Township or County right-of-way. Authorization to perform work outside the right-of-way will be provided in Right-of-Entry (ROE) documents signed by property owners, obtained during FD.
