Authorize Plans and Specifications – The next step in the engineering process is to order the preparation of plans and specifications. Easement Preparation Activities (For Connection Alternatives) - The feasibility report indicates that there may be a need for additional temporary construction easements and permanent easements for items associated with the Connection Alternatives. To ensure that the project stays on schedule, easement preparation activities will need to commence as soon as plans indicate to what extent they will be needed. For this reason, Staff is requesting authorization to initiate these activities at this time. Such activities will include: discussions with property owners, necessary appraisals, boundary sketches, legal descriptions, and drafting of the legal easement documents.
