August 18,2004 <br />Preliminary Scope of Work <br />Long Lakc-Orono TH 12 Turnback Project <br />INTRODUCTION <br />WSB and HKGi have put together a preliminary work program based on our <br />understanding of the Cities’ objectives for the TH 12 Turnback Study and our <br />understanding of the data and information that will be available to conduct the study. It <br />is our understanding that the objective of this study is to put together an overall concept <br />plan (layout) for old TH 12 through Long Lake and Orono that will facilitate the long­ <br />term land use visions of Long Lake and Orono for this con idor and that utilizes the <br />funding sources available in the best way possible for implementation of the plan. <br />The concept plan would include two components: a roadway layout plan and a <br />landscape/aesthctic design plan. The roadway layout plan will show numbet and widths <br />for through lanes, location. length and w idth of turn lanes; shoulder w idlhs; median <br />locations and widths; boulevard widths, trail and sidewalk locations and widths; existing <br />and proposed right-of-way; location of traffic signals; construction limits; and location of <br />retaining walls. The landscape/aesthetic design plan would show proposed land.scaping <br />or treatments for the area behind the curbs and if appropriate w'ithin the medians on the <br />roadway. <br />The roadway layout plan would incorporate the access, features and space that would be <br />needed to facilitate the cities* land use vision for the con idor while meeting County <br />design criteria. This would be accomplished tluough an iterative design process <br />involving ihc Cities and County. The land use overview/vision would provide the <br />framework for development of the roadway layout plan by defining where access is <br />needed, where trails or sidewalks are appropriate, and the type of space needed for <br />landscape or ae.sthetic design treatments. An initial roadway layout will be de\ eloped <br />incorporating these elements while attempting to meet County design criteria. WSB and <br />HKGi would work with the I II 12 Turnback Committee to develop this initial layout. <br />Once an initial plan is developed it will be presented to the County. It is anticipated that <br />se\eial iterations of the roadway plan will be needed to get to a plan th.it both the County <br />and the Cities can approve, fhe landscape/aesthetic design will be refined as consensus <br />develops on the roadway layout. Project costs will be developed and refined throughout <br />the process along with potential funding sources for different project elements to provide <br />a basis for City and County decision making. <br />Listed below are the tasks we believe are needed to accomplish the above objectives.
