TA-2023 Washington Street Corridor Improvement Project Phase 2 Township of West Orange Page 7 of 8 7. Draft Management Plan 8. Final Design Public Involvement Action Plan 9. Final Design Scope Statement 10. 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 Report and provide comments for incorporation in the 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 attend and prepare the mailing list, the handout, presentation material and minutes with attached sign-in sheet for one (1) anticipated Public Information Center (PIC). Notice letters will be mailed via standard USPS by GPI (not certified). The goal of the PIC is to obtain public input on the PPA. 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 anticipated that the Township 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, meeting. If requested by the Township, the PIC will be held virtually. A virtual public information center (VPIC) would be a prerecorded video with a slide presentation illustrating the project need, proposed improvements and anticipated benefits. The video can be available in more than just the English language. The video is to be available for viewing for at least a two-week period to allow the public to view at their convenience. The Township would host the link to the VPIC or, if Township prefers, GPI will host a project website with a Township link to website. 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.

cal 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. PE Assumptions: The following general assumptions are in addition to those stated in the previous activity descriptions for this task order: • Proposed streetscape improvements will be located within the 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. • The required CED will be prepared by NJDOT BEPR with input from GPI on Sections I and II. • A Cultural Resource Study Phase IA is not included in this scope of services. Any coordination with the NJDEP to secure permits or approvals requiring a Phase IA will be conducted by NJDOT BEPR and SHPO. • Green Acres coordination, if required, will be conducted by NJDOT BEPR and NJDEP.
