Exhibit A
Nashua - Crown Street Park & Ride Project
Scope of Work and Task Descriptions
June 15, 2016
Task 1.6 — Alternatives Development
With consultation with the City, up to three (3) alternatives will be developed potentially including:
250 Space Park & Ride Lot assuming the existing warehouse building will remain
250 Space Park & Ride Lot assuming the existing warehouse building will be demolished
250 Space Park & Ride Lot assuming the existing warehouse building will be demolished
along with a future expansion area.
These concepts will be schematic in nature with no detailed geometry and will account for a future
rail platform. Cost estimates will be performed for each alternative. Landscaping concepts will be
developed by Design Works sub-contractor for each alternative as well.
Task 1.7 — Traffic Analysis
Traffic analyses will be performed to determine the impact of additional traffic resulting from the
proposed Park and Ride lot on the intersections of Crown Street and Arlington Street, Crown Street
and Allds Street, and Arlington Street and East Hollis Street. Synchro software will be used to
perform the evaluations. SimTraffic software will be utilized to present traffic simulations at each
intersection. Evaluations will be conducted to determine if a traffic signal is warranted at the
intersection of Crown Street and Arlington Street and if adjusted traffic signal timings will be
needed at the intersection of Arlington Street and East Hollis Street. The evaluation will also look
at the need for any improvements to the pedestrian accommodations and bus turning movements
along the potential routes for transit buses accessing the Park & Ride lot.
Task 1.8 — Public Involvement — Alternatives Workshop
This workshop will take place after the alternatives have been developed for the project. For the
purposes of this meeting, the alternatives will be presented on aerial photograph base maps. The
public will be encouraged to evaluate and comment on each alternative developed. A comparison
matrix of pertinent project elements will be presented. The objective of the meeting will be to reach
a consensus on the preferred alternative. The City will be responsible for notifications for the
meeting. It is assumed that a specific website will not be required for this project and that no
dedicated presence on social media will be provided. MJ will supply the City with all presentations
and graphics for use on the City website.
Task 1.9 — Engineering Report
After the Alternatives Workshop, MJ will work with City Staff on selecting the preferred alternative
and will prepare an Engineering Study report to documenting the process that led to the selection
of the preferred alternative. The report will include a description of the existing conditions, the
purpose and need for the project, design criteria, description of the alternatives developed, cost
estimates, environmental considerations, warehouse condition assessment, and a conclusion.
This task includes additional public meetings with the Board of Alderman and Planning Board
summarizing the project activities to date and presenting the preferred alternative for approval.
Upon approval by the City, the Engineering Report will be submitted to NHDOT for review.
