GPI will conduct a wetlands investigation of the area of improvements near Watson Avenue and Liberty Street. If wetlands are identified, we will delineate the wetlands and identify the potential width of the wetland transition areas for survey and mapping by our project surveyor. We will perform a preliminary investigation within 150 feet of the project area to identify the approximate location of wetlands and wetland transition areas on the subject site. Application for a Freshwater Wetlands Letter of Interpretation is excluded from this scope of work. Any potential FWW permits will be identified in the Preliminary Engineering report. Should FWW permits be required, this work will be under Final Design phase. Prepare Survey Control Report (3015): GPI’s subconsultant, MFS Consulting Engineers & Surveyors (MFS), will perform the control survey and prepare the survey control report following NJDOT standards. Information from this report will be used to recover survey control points for use in supplementary surveys for the project and for construction. GPI will coordinate survey activities with preliminary design activities and perform a QA review of the report. Please refer to MFS’s Scope of Services and Estimate which is attached for more information. Conduct Topographic Survey (3020): GPI will provide management and coordination with our subconsultant, MEFS, who will conduct the topographic survey within the project limits. The topographic mapping will document the site’s existing conditions including baselines, centerlines, right-of-way lines, drainage

, who will conduct the topographic survey within the project limits. The topographic mapping will document the site’s existing conditions including baselines, centerlines, right-of-way lines, drainage and sanitary systems, striping, utilities, control points, and elevations. Topographic mapping will be established by field survey extending approximately 10 feet beyond ROW, including driveways and parking lots and approximately 100 feet from centerline of Washington Street onto intersecting side streets. Physical features such as signs, utilities including valves, pole #, manholes, etc. will be identified and added to the mapping. We will survey monuments as discovered in the field so adjacent property boundaries can be re-established. MFS will also prepare a ROW deed mosaic within the project area as part of the Prepare Base Map task Activity 3025. Where commercial and residential buildings are set near the right-of-way line, MFS will perform a physical survey of the concrete slabs located immediately adjacent to the buildings. The survey will tie down the horizontal and vertical location of doorway openings, the sidewalk joint(s) at the front of the buildings and the adjacent joints. GP! will request copies of County right-of-way mapping and road return documents, to be corroborated with field evidence recovered by the field surveyors to establish the existing right of way. GPI to perform a QA of MFS’s mapping products. GPI

GPR, electro-magnetic surveying and test pits or any other means for locating underground utilities is not included in this PE scope. A limited Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) program is included in the Final Design (FD) scope and fee proposal. Please refer to MFS’s Scope of Services and Estimate which is attached for more information. Prepare Base Maps (3025): GP! will manage and coordinate with our subconsultant, MFS, who will prepare the base maps which will depict in detail the required existing topography. The base maps will also include the baseline information and existing right-of-way as determined by field evidence and deed mosaic. This data is to be provided in accordance with Article 51 Standards and Procedures. GPI to perform a QA of MFS’s work to check that survey is in accordance with project scope and needs. Please refer to MFS’s Scope of Services and Estimate which is attached for more information. Prepare Horizontal and Vertical Geometry (3030): GP! will layout and calculate the horizontal and vertical geometry of the proposed sidewalk and streetscape improvements. The proposed geometry will be tied to the project baseline with proposed work and the project footprint defined over the base mapping to produce an accurate depiction of the project impacts. The proposed improvements will be designed to be ADA compliant where ramp grades will be 8% maximum, a minimum five (5) foot square passing space will be provided at intervals no greater than 200 feet, and cross slopes will not exceed 2%. Where sidewalks and curb ramps cannot be designed to ADA standards, variations from ADA compliance will be documented with a “Technically Infeasible Form” (TIF). Driveway grades will be corrected where the walkway portion of the driveway aprons do not meet ADA requirements and exceed 2% cross slope. We will develop critical cross-sections to identify slope impacts at locations that may result in right-of-way, utility, or environmental impacts. Streetscape improvements will extend from the curb line and, to the extent feasible, will remain within the existing right-of-way. Potential complications with

way, utility, or environmental impacts. Streetscape improvements will extend from the curb line and, to the extent feasible, will remain within the existing right-of-way. Potential complications with curb extensions include: o Conflicts with existing utilities Relocation and modifications with existing drainage structures and conveyance piping Altering top and bottom of curb elevations and sidewalk cross slope Altered drainage paths Substandard turning movements for larger design vehicles ooo0o GP! will develop no more than three (3) typical sections to depict the proposed streetscape improvements showing and dimensioning roadside details such as curb, landscaping areas, sidewalk, utility poles, adjacent buildings, cut and fill slopes, and right-of-way line. Prepare Utility Base Plans (3035): GP! will prepare utility base plans from the field survey data and topographic mapping to show existing surface utility facilities. Send Utility Verification Request Letter (3045): GP! will establish utility contacts and submit the verification request letter and a set of the utility base plans to each utility company to identify their existing facilities on the utility base plans. We anticipate that this letter will be sent to no more than eight (8) utility companies. Update Base Plans and Identify Conflicts (3055): GP! will coordinate with the affected utility companies and incorporate the collective utility owner comments onto the base maps. We will review the existing utilities to -GPI

Exhibit A Page 22 of 66 TA-2023 Washington Street Corridor Improvement Project Phase 2 Township of West Orange identify potential utility conflicts between existing utility facilities and proposed design elements such as new street light pole foundations. Prepare Preliminary Roadway Plans (3070): GP! will prepare the preliminary roadway plans at 1”=20' scale. The plans will include the horizontal and vertical geometry of new replacement curbs, sidewalk and ADA curb ramps, driveway aprons, limit of disturbances, planting areas, signing, replacement pavement markings and streetscape improvements throughout the corridor. Roadway improvements are limited to pavement repair strips for new curb and potential drainage improvements. No other roadway improvements are anticipated. Prepare Preliminary Drainage Design (3085): GP! will delineate existing and proposed tree cover, lawn, and impervious surfaces for the purpose of identifying whether the project is a “major development” under the current NJDEP Stormwater Management Rules (SWIM). It is assumed that the project will be designed to disturb less than one acre of land and will increase impervious surfacing and/or Motor Vehicle Surfacing (MVS) by less than % acre. As such, it is assumed that the project will not be classified as a “major development” and will not have to comply with the NJDEP SWM rules. Where existing drainage structures conflict with proposed curb, sidewalk and/or ADA curb ramps, GPI will develop the drainage relocation design. Relocations are anticipated to be minor and will maintain the existing drainage system to the maximum extent practicable to limit SWM and permitting implications. No hydraulic analysis will be provided. We will also conduct a rainy-day survey to identify any existing ponding issues within the right-of-way or adjacent properties with a focus on identifying and correcting any low spots in the vicinity of curb ramps and crosswalks. Drainage work will be limited to minor corrections to gutter grades to avoid ponding in crosswalks. Upgrades to stormwater drainage systems is not anticipated. A cursory review of FEMA mapping reveals that a watercourse (North Branch Wigwam Brook) crosses the project area in the vicinity of the Liberty Street/Washington Street intersection. The watercourse is an open channel beyond the ROW and confined to a piped culvert within the public

rook) crosses the project area in the vicinity of the Liberty Street/Washington Street intersection. The watercourse is an open channel beyond the ROW and confined to a piped culvert within the public ROW of Washington Street and Liberty Street. There is potential for flood hazard area, riparian zones and wetland transition zones within the project area and may be within NJDEP jurisdiction. GPI will delineate the environmental constraints with available NJDEP GIS and FEMA data and provide a map for inclusion in the PE report. GP! will determine whether the proposed impacts will qualify for one or more NJDEP FHA Permits by Rule (PBR). To qualify for PBRs the project must not be a “major development” under the NJDEP SWM Rules. Assumptions: The following assumptions are related to Task 3085 1. The project is not anticipated to disturb more than one acre of land or increase impervious surface and/or Motor Vehicle Surfacing (MVS) by more than % acre. As such, the project will not be classified as a “major development” and not subject to comply with the State NJAC 7:8 and municipal stormwater management rules. 2. Drainage design is limited to maintaining existing drainage patterns. Therefore, analysis of gutter spread and pipe capacity for existing conditions is excluded from this scope. 3. Hydraulic computations and a drainage design report will not be required. 4. Upgrades to existing drainage structures will consist of relocation for sidewalk and curb extension, replacing existing casting(s) with bicycle safe grates and meeting current NJDOT standards. 5. Permitting and regulatory compliance assessments will be based on the current NJDEP SWM Rules NJAC 7:8 (3/3/2020 adoption, 7/17/2023 operative date), NJDEP Flood Hazard Area Control Act and NJDEP 7 GPI

Exhibit A Page 23 of 66 TA-2023 Washington Street Corridor Improvement Project Phase 2 Township of West Orange Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act Rules as of the date of this proposal. This proposal does not include work to conform to subsequent rule changes after date of this proposal. 6. Application to NJDEP for Flood Hazard Area (FHA) and NJDEP Freshwater Wetlands (FWW) are excluded from this proposal. Should FHA or FWW permits or verifications be required this work will be included as part of Final Design (FD) phase. Determine Traffic Engineering Facility Locations (3090): GP! will prepare preliminary level plans for the layout of decorative lighting, guide signs and regulatory traffic control devices. The preliminary lighting design will include coordination with the Township and PSE&G to determine the requirements for a PSE&G owned decorative lighting system. GPI will perform a lighting analysis using Visual lighting software to determine the appropriate spacing of the decorative luminaires based on the AASHTO Roadway Lighting Design Guide criteria. It is anticipated that concrete light pole bases and conduits for the PSE&G owned lighting system will be reimbursable construction items. Initiate ROW Impact Plan (3115): The proposed streetscape improvements will be located within the public right- of-way to the extent feasible. The ROW Impact Plan will document any locations where it is necessary for sidewalk improvements to extend outside the right-of-way to meet ADA design requirements. Easements to perform work on private property will be secured with right-of-access agreements obtained during final design. Update Preliminary Detour and Construction Staging Plans (3130): GPI will prepare the preliminary construction staging plans. The plans will be generally schematic in nature. We do not anticipate indicating MPT devices and signs on the plans for this phase. As the work in the project is typically off the roadway, we anticipate construction can be accommodated by typical MUTCD and NJDOT set ups and details. Vehicular detours are not anticipated or included in our scope of work; however, one direction of travel detour during working hours may improve safety within the work zone. While pedestrian detours will be required, temporary signals, modification of existing signals or other electrical work is not anticipated. Prepare Construction Cost

rove safety within the work zone. While pedestrian detours will be required, temporary signals, modification of existing signals or other electrical work is not anticipated. Prepare Construction Cost Estimate (3135): GP! will prepare the Construction Cost Estimate using NJDOT Bid information, results from prior similar projects and the plans developed during PE. The Construction Cost Estimate is necessary to properly program construction funds for the project. We will submit the Construction Cost Estimate to the Township and NJDOT Local Aid for review and comment. Prepare Draft Preliminary Engineering Report (3160): GP! will prepare and submit the Draft PE Report for Township and NJDOT review. Washington Street is under County's jurisdiction so the Draft PE Report will also be submitted to Essex County for their review and comment. The Draft PE Report will also be shared with the NJDOT Bureau of Environmental Program Resources (BEPR) to support the review of the Environmental Document. GPI will use the NJDOT PE Report template as a guide for the items to be included in the Draft PE Report, aside from those listed in assumptions below, which are not relevant to the project. Assumptions: The following items normally associated with the Capital Project’s 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 as per Local Aid Federal project handbook: Design Exception Report Alternatives Analysis Report Complete Streets Checklist Design Communications Report Risk Register Updated Utility Risk Assessment Plan On BE te Oo ee GPI

Preliminary Engineering Quality Certification ww oN 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): GP! 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 PICis 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): GP! anticipates completing Sections | and II of the Categorical Exclusion Document and submitting the same to NJDOT Local Aid who will forward it to BEPR for
