D4.1 The Project consists of Regional Street Renewals on University Crescent.
D4.2 The planned treatment for each location, the project budgets, calculated based on the respective treatments, and the assumed construction working days, provided for planning and bidding purposes, are as follows:
D4.2.1 In general, the scope of the Project is to execute the Regional Street Renewal project locations in D4.2, within the annual cash-flow limitations in D3.8.
D4.3 The Consultant is expected to complete the Preliminary Design of all locations listed in D4.2, including:
(a) Class 3 estimates for all locations;
(b) Preliminary scheduling and staging plans for all locations, minimizing impacts to the travelling public and local businesses, schools, and residents.
D4.4 As part of the Preliminary design phase the Consultant is expected to prepare Functional Designs for four alternatives related to the requirements of the PCS.
(a) Alternatives;
(i) Multi-use path facility along the east boulevard of University Crescent;
(ii) Combination of sidewalk and bi-directional bike path facility along the east boulevard of University Crescent;
(iii) Multi-use path facility along both the east and west boulevards of University Crescent;
(iv) Combination of sidewalk and bi-directional bike path facility along both the east and west boulevards of University Crescent;
(b) Prepare multiple Functional Design options and evaluate through a set of criteria before determining a preferred design that will set the foundation for effective progression of future design and construction of the facility.
(c) Of each of the alternatives, examine and document implications, advantages, and disadvantages, prepare Class 5 cost estimates.
(d) Consider any recommended crossing controls with each option.
(e) Provide recommendations for short term implementation, and ultimate build out.
(f) Advance the recommended short-term functional design to be included in the 2021 Detailed Design
(g) Advance the recommended ultimate build-out design to Preliminary design level.
D4.5 At the completion of the Functional design requirements in D4.4, Stakeholder engagement as outlined in D4.14 will commence prior to preliminary design of the protected bike facility.
D4.6 Preliminary Design (class 3 estimate) is to be developed that considers the feedback of stakeholders, balances the benefits and cost implications.
(i) The design will remove the Pedestrian corridor south of Markham Road and design a signalized intersection at Markham Road and University Crescent. This design will consider best practice in active transportation.
(ii) The design will make improvements to the intersection of Chancellor Mathison and University Crescent including accommodate active modes in a north south crossing on the west side. The need, benefit and appropriateness of the SB – WB turn channel will be evaluated to consider removal to better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.
(iii) Other improvements for active transportation will be recommended and considered by the City.
D4.7 At the completion of the Functional design and the Stakeholder engagement prepare and submit a functional design report consolidating all finding for the four alternatives including a summary of public consultation findings.
D4.8 Further to D4.3, following Preliminary Design, Detailed Design will proceed as per the established schedule, approved by the Project Manager.
D4.9 Assumptions to be carried for the Project include:
(a) It is not expected that any construction will occur in 2020;
(b) It is expected that all construction will be completed by the end of 2022;
D4.10 Further to D4.3 and D4.7, and without limitation to the detailed scope of services outlined throughout D4, it is expected that key issues will include (but are not limited to):

(h) Coordination with Manitoba Marathon;
(i) Coordinating with individual fronting businesses and residences, in advance of and during construction;
(j) Coordination with development projects, events, festivals; and
(k) Public information preparation/coordination during construction.
