REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS
PLANNING STUDY FOR BUS MAINTENANCE AND
ADMINISTRATIVE FACILITIES FOR THE CORPUS
CHRISTI TRANSIT SYSTEM
FEBRUARY, 1979
HILUI:lv1:1)
MAR 16 1979
The City of Corpus Christi, Texas, is requesting proposals from qualified
consultants to develop a program, assess environmental impacts, and prepare
preliminary designs for a new bus maintenance and administration facility
for the Corpus Christi Transit System.
The following information is to facilitate the timely preparation and
submission of a proposal for services for the work described in the study
objectives under paragraph VI below.
BACKGROUND OF CORPUS CHRISTI TRANSIT SYSTEM
The Corpus Christi Transit System is owned by the City of Corpus Christi,
and operates as a part of the City's Department of Traffic and Transit. It
was acquired by the City in 1967, when the previous (private) owner threatened
to cease operations.
The transit system has a fleet of 42 General Motors diesel transit buses,
used in regular transit service and in intracity charters, and four over -the -road
coaches, used for intercity charters. Twenty-eight of the transit buses are
1967 models; the others are 1976 models. Twenty-eight buses are used in peak -
hour transit service, on 18 routes. In addition to the full size transit buses,
the transit system operates nine vans for specialized services for elderly and
handicapped persons_ Two of the vans are equipped with wheelchair lifts.
Yearly mileage is approximately 1,200,000 miles in regular transit service,
250,000 miles in local and long distance charter service, and 250,000 miles in
specialized van service. Approximately two million passengers are carried
yearly. The transit system employ about 85 persons_
The'transit capital improvement program calls for replacing some of
the older transit buses with new full size buses. In addition, a number
of smaller transit buses and specialized equipment for elderly and handi-
capped service will be acquired, so that the fleet will become more diversi-
fied. The fleet is not expected to grow substantially in the next few years,
but the new transit facility should allow some provision for expansion of
operations in the future.
The current administration and maintenance facility used by the Corpus
Christi Transit System is nearly 40 years old, and is not suitable for main-
taining and servicing modern transit -buses. The voters of Corpus Christi, as
a part of a bond election in November, 1977, approved a project to build a
new transit maintenance and administration facility. It is anticipated that
80 percent of the project cost will be provided by the Urban Nass Transporta-
tion Administration-(UNTA) under Section 3 and Section 5 capital grants, and
that•the 20 percent local share will be provided by the State of Texas (13
percent) and the'City of Corpus Christi (7 percent).
The City staff has conducted a preliminary site analysis for the new
transit facility.

3. MANAGEMENT PLAN
We have selected a Project Tears and developed a management approach for
this study that will assure the City of Corpus Christi of smooth progression of
all work tasks, production of high quality design, maintenance and management
plans, and thorough documentation of all work, including environmental analyses,
in support of•grant and permit applications.
Total Design Four and Parsons Brinckerhoff have committed experienced sen-
ior staff members to conduct this project, and we have outlined specific respon-
sibilities and schedules for all participants. Individually, team members bring
specialized skills and experience to this project; together, they constitute a
multidisciplinary Project Team capable of providing the broad range of services

1. INTRODUCTION
The primary purpose of this study is to develop a preliminary design and
maintenance plan for centralized maintenance and administration facilities that
will meet the short- and long-term needs of the Corpus Christi Transit System.
A11 designs and estimates for these facilities roust be to a sufficient level of
detail for filing a Section 3 capital grant application with UMTA. In addition,
the study must consider environmental impacts of the proposed facilities, and
reports and permit applications necessary for environmental approval must be
prepared.
Although the RFP indicated the City staff "has conducted a preliminary site
analysis for the new transit facility", we believe the Study must address the
rehabilitation, no -build and new site alternatives. Candidate sites must be
identified and compared on the basis of such factors as availability, cost,
zoning, environmental impact, traffic flow, etc.
The Study Methodology, including a Task Flow Chart, is detailed in Section 2
of this proposal. It should be kept in mind, however, that although we identify
and schedule discrete tasks requiring specific skills, design of a complex sys- -
tem is as much a creative and empirical process as it is an analytical one. We
also know the findings of any one task are likely to influence the outcome of
several other tasks. Therefore, we expect most tasks to proceed in an iterative
manner, as information is received and incorporated into the various stages of
the Study.
Our
sonnelofrTotal dDesigneFour andnParsons is ��Brinckerhoff haven in Section 3.Hbeenydesignated for
meet the various requirements of the Study. Brief summaries of experience have
been included for the key staff members as well as detailed resumes.
Section 4 includes material describing Total Design Four;, Parsons Brincker-
hoff and similar or related work performed by the team members. Also included
in Section 4 is a Standard Form 254 for each firm which shows their individual
sizes.

2. STUDY METHODOLOGY
The general scope of this Study has as its end product a very necessary and
ambitious report in which: (1) an alternative analysis is made for a bus main-
tenance and administration facility; (2) alternative sites are reviewed and a
recommendation made; (3) a construction program is developed; (4) a preliminary
facility design and site plan are prepared; (5) cost estimates are made; and (6)
an environmental assessment is prepared.
The scope of the study and the limited budget snake it essential in the in-
terest of time and cost that all available data developed by others be utilized.
In the following methodology we have addressed all the City requirements. A
Flow Chart, Fig. 1, and a Preliminary Schedule of Work, Fig. 2, are included at
the end of this section. The Flow Chart shows the interrelationships between
the various tasks. There is parallel scheduling of several tasks to facilitate
completion of the work effort.
Tasks are included i•n the work program to ensure that all environmental re-
quirements are met by the City in its planning for the centralized bus garage
and maintenance facilities. These tasks will be accomplished in parallel with
the other work of the study, so that the process of environmental clearance for
the project can be completed as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
Because a number of steps and agency reviews are required in this process,
the environmental tasks are likely to be on the "critical path" of the study.
It is therefore proposed to initiate the needed technical work as early as
•
possible to allow sufficient time for environmental documentation after a re-
commended bus facility alternative has been selected. Both the scheduling and
scoping of all the environmental tasks have been conducted with a thorough
awareness of the ultimate objective of the environmental work effort: to secure
as niany of the necessary environmental permits and approvals for the City, and
to complete as many of the environmental requirements as possible within the
time -frame of the study. For this reason, we have paid special attention to
their sequencing, and have emphasized that all environmental analyses will be
conducted only to the level of detail that is appropriate for project approval.
The individual tasks that constitute the proposed Work Program for the Bus
Maintenance/Garage Facilities Study are described in the following:
TASK, 1: BUS FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS DATA COLLECTION
Objective: Review and evaluate existing and projected bus operations and main-
tenance practices in Corpus Christi and identify existing system characteris-
tics, deficiencies, and needs to and in design of the centralized maintenance
facilities.

Activities: The study team will interview City staff to acquire an understand-
ing of current and projected bus operations and maintenance activities. The in-
terviews will focus on characteristics of the transit and rnaintenance operations
in the following areas:
a. Bus routes and schedules.
b. Route mileage.
c. Revenue and non -revenue mileages.
d. Plans for route and schedule changes.
e. Ridership trends by route or corridor.
f. Fleet size by type, age, and condition.
g. Anticipated fleet -sizes and acquisitions.
h. Facility condition, access, and throughput capacity.
i. Existing equipment, equipment needs.
j. Bus access needs to facilities.
k. Current maintenance work flow, by vehicle, type and activity
: including detailed labor breakdown.
1. Maintenance frequency and cost history, by vehicle type.
m. General facility operations, costs, including energy.
n. Labor costs, operations, maintenance, general and administrative.
o. Access and parking needs of employees.
In addition, all available City planning documents will be consulted to
corroborate and supplement the information obtained from the interviews.
The review will be conducted to provide a basis for establishing rnaintenance
procedures, intermediate and long-range manpower requirements, equipment needs,
vehicle storage space, overall space utilization, optimum garage size, parking
inventory, etc.
Product: A technical memorandum, summarizing all data, review procedures, and
concusions. The output of this task will aid development of the Facilities and
Operations Program Plan in Task 2, and the Alternatives Development and Analysis
in Task 5.
TASK. 2: FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS PROGRAM PLAN
Objective: To develop and document functional, operational and organizational
requirements, and resulting design criteria for the proposed centralized facil-
ities bus rnaintenance program.
Activities: The study team will review the data collected under Task 1 and, in
accordance with practices, formulate operations and facility design criteria for
the concept of a centralized maintenance program. This will consider function-
al, operational and organizational requirements, considering a range of options
including rehabilitation of existing facilities or complete centralization.
Facility and operations planning will address physical aspects, including
equipment specifications, maintenance procedures, manpower requirements, and

space and size requirements. In particular, required relationships between
office and maintenance operations will be defined including those applicable in
the following areas:
a. Bus storage.
b. Parts storage.
c. Service (cleaning, fueling, brake adjustment).
d. Fare collection.
e. Shops (unit maintenance, sheet metal, signs, upholstery).
f. Body work.
g. Painting (body, touch-up, etc.).
h. Light duty maintenance (lubrication, oil, tires, etc.).
i. Heavy maintenance (transmissions, air conditioning, engines, brakes)
j. Administrative offices.
k. Employee areas (washrooms, lunchroom lockers, etc.).
1. Conference room.
Short- and long-term equipment needs and specifications will also be
defined, including provisions for the following:
a. :Lifts, hoists.
b. 1•Jashing.
c. Fueling.
d. Shop equipment.
e. Cleaning.
f. Fare collection.
g. Fork lifts.
h. Storage bins.
i. Diagnostic equipment.
j. Service trucks.
k. Lubricating equipment.
1. Small tools.
m. Tire racks.
n. Oil dispensing.
o. Safety practices.
Organizational alternatives, including the status quo, will be determined
for the maintenance facilities. Staffing requirements will be compared with the
existing organization of operators to identify impacts and the extent of re-
quired changes.
An evaluation of fare box revenue collection activities will be undertaken
to determine appropriate and practical daily working procedures for processing
the revenue at a centralized facility. Key issues to be considered will include
general specifications for fare box collection equipment and practical operating
procedures for the daily fare collection activities.
All these functional, operational and organizational considerations will
then be translated into an integrated set of planning, design and implementation
- 4 -
criteria, and summarized in a preliminary Program Plan for the proposed centra-
lized facilities_
Product: A technical memo containing the recommended Program Plan, plus all
applicable back-up material. This will serve as a set of normative guidelines
for the work of Tasks 3, 5 and 6.
TASK 3: SURVEY AND IDENTIFICATION OF CANDIDATE SITES
Objective: This task will identify for the alternative review process the po-
tential sites studied by the City staff. The attractivness of a particular site
will be defined considering the following:
a. Suitability for location of the maintenance activities and functions
identified in Task 2, Facilities, Operations and Organization Program
Plan. This will primarily concern area, configuration, physiography,
access, and the availability of necessary utilities for the Facilities.
b. Location with regard to major existing and projected bus service corri-
dors, to minimize dead -head mileage.
.c. Compatibility with the surrounding physical and social environment.
Sensitive ecological areas will be avoided, and sites adjacent to or
near incompatible land uses (e.g., noise sensitive receptors and resi-
dential development) will be eliminated.
d. Attitude of local government officials and affected land owners towards
proposed acquisition for use as a bus maintenance area.
Activities: Early efforts in Task 3 will focus on reducing the number of possi-
ble sites studied by the City staff to no more than two. Preliminary data on
operating characteristics, surrounding land use, street access, etc., will be
used to identify these sites. The existing maintenance facility location will
be examined as part of this phase. It should also be noted that while it is
possible additional sites will be discovered later in the study, it is antici-
pated the final list of feasible sites and the recommended alternative site will
be drawn from this initial list.
Each of the sites on the initial list of candidates will then be subjected
to closer analysis as more detailed information is made available from Tasks 1,
2, 4 and 11. As operational concepts are'refined, the analysis will consider
other factors such as:
a.. Physical suitability.
- size
- configuration
- physiography
- 5 -
b.
c.
d.
e.
Street access.
Physical and social environmental setting and anticipated impacts to
this setting.
Availability and cost.
Government approval requirements and prospects.
It will be essential to maintain close communication between the consultant
staff and the•City to ensure that unattractive or marginal sites are eliminated
from considerations as early as possible, while promising sites are identified
for further scrutiny.
The identification and preliminary analysis of candidate sites will continue
to the extent that the results of other task efforts make it necessary.
Product: A summary technical memorandum will be issued, detailing
sites in Corpus Christi with potential suitability for location of
maintenance facilities. It will include all descriptive data such
size, owner, approximate_cost, access, physiographic and ecological
etc. The memo will summarize all efforts to date regarding acquisi
will discuss major impediments to acquisition, if any.

TASK 4: ACQUISITION ANALYSES
Objective: The anlayses performed in this task will generate information on the
problems, costs, and fiscal impacts of site acquisition, of a sufficiently de-
tailed nature to assist in the completion of Task 3, Survey and Identification
of Candidate Sites, and Task 7, Alternatives Evaluation and Selection.
Activities: It is expected that interviews with City officials, "Focal realtors,
and other real estate interests will provide information on property market val-
ues and all steps necessary for property acquisition. This will include, but
not be limited to, permit requirements, zoning variances (if any), and any exec-
utive or council approvals. If deemed appropriate by the City, initial contact
with the property owner will be made and his selling interest and asking price
determined.
A preliminary survey of the property's legal status will also be made, to
determine the presence of any obvious encumbrances, such as easements, liens,
etc. If this preliminary survey indicates the possibility of encumbrances on
any property which could delay or prevent its expeditious acquisition or lease,
the consultant will, at the direction of the City as an addition to the Scope of
Services, commission a title search on the property by a reputable title com-
pany.
For any site under consideration which is presently developed, order -of -mag-
nitude estimates of demolition costs will be made, to be included in construc-
tion cost estimates prepared later in this study. Further, property taxes cur-
rently payable on each candidate site will be determined, allowing calculation
of the potential impact on local tax bases.
- 6 -

Product: The output of this task will be a technical memorandum, containing the
following information for each of the sites identified in Task 3:
a. Summary of discussions to date with owner (optional), and relevant town
officials.
b. Approximate market value of the property, and asking price (optional).
c. Acquisition schedule and actions required to obtain the property, in-
cluding local government approvals, (e.g., zoning variances).
d. Demolition requirements and associated costs.
e. Results of the "Title Search" (if commissioned).
f. Calculation of impacts on City tax bases. •
The information in this memorandum will serve as input to Task 7, Alterna-
tives Evaluation and Selection.
TASK 5: DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Objectives: The objective of this task is to analyze requirements and develop a
workable number of conceptual facility design alternatives for the bus mainte-
nance and garage facilities.
Activities: Based on the Facilities and Operations Program Plan developed under
Task 2 and the alternative sites provided under Task 3, conceptual site utiliza-
tion plans will be developed.
The schematic concepts will reflect alternative approaches to site utiliza-
tion. Functional relationships will be established, and constraints and limita-
tions imposed by the sites and/or the surroundings will be identified and in-
cluded in the design development. Tentative construction schedules and opportu-
nities for phasing will be identified, and order -of -magnitude construction cost
estimates will also be prepared.
The conceptual facility design alternatives, together with the alternative
sites, will be further evaluated during the process of selecting a recommended
bus maintenance and garage alternative.
Product: The product of this task will be design concepts for two alternative
systems for the facilities program. The concepts will include schematic draw-
ings, tentative construction schedules and possibilities for phasing, and order -
of -magnitude cost estimates.
TASK 6: ESTABLISHMENT OF EVALUATION CRITERIA
Objectives: To identify specific factors for evaluating the effectiveness of
the project alternatives, and to develop a procedure that combines these factors
into an evaluation algorithm.
-7-
Activities: Using the output of Tasks 1 through 5, categories of evaluation
criteria will be derived. Examples of these include system performance with
respect to the program plan, capital construction costs, acquisition costs,
operating or maintenance costs, labor impacts, environmental and community im-
pacts, traffic impacts, feedback impacts on bus fleet size and operational char-
acteristics, and construction staging.
For each category of criteria, specific.measures of effectiveness, both
quantitative and qualitative, will be identified. As an example, a quantitative
measure of effectiveness under the category of ."system performance" might be
aggregate annual dead -head mileage. A qualitative measure of effectiveness
under the category of environmental impacts might be the visual or aesthetic
appeal of the proposed alternative.
A matrix of measures of effectiveness versus alternatives, similar to a
Planning Balance Sheet or a Goals Achievement Matrix, will be designed, and
procedures will be developed for weighting the various measures and scoring the
project alternatives.
Product: This task wi1i yield an alternatives evaluation form and procedure to
be used in Task 7.
TASK 7: ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION AND SELECTIOJI
Objective: To evaluate the project alternatives developed in Task 5 and to
select the "best" bus maintenance and garage facility alternative.
Activities: Key members of the Project Team, using the methodology developed in
previous tasks, will individually evaluate the various alternatives by weighting
the evaluation factors on the alternatives evaluation form. This will include
ranking the qualitative factors and assigning values to the quantifiable fac-
tors, for all evaluation categories. The results of the scoring will be dis-
cussed and an alternative selected for further development.•, Following selec-
tion, a brief technical report outlining the evaluation process and the steps
leading to selection of the recommended alternative will be prepared.
Product: An Alternatives Evaluation Report and maintenance plan recommendation
to be forwarded to the City staff for final review and approval.
TASK 8: DRAFT OF PRELIMINARY DESIGN, OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT REPORT
Objective: Develop the conceptual plans of the selected alternative to a pre-
liminary design level, and provide the City with critical grant application in-
formation.
Activities: The study team will develop final physical layouts of the selected
site which clearly identify the sizes and relationships of all programmed
spaces, functions and operations. The layouts will include a site plan showing
- 8 -
•
rough sitework and grading, major utilities, paving, lighting, and landscaping.
Building flow plans will show all administrative and support spaces, as well as
operational spaces, and will also include major equipment installations.' The
plans will be supplemented with preliminary building sections and elevations,
which will indicate conceptual structural implications as well as exterior
treatment. A report will be prepared describing the intended operation of the
selected system alternative, with consideration given to both the overall
maintenance program and to the facilities in relationship to revenue operations.
Preliminary construction costs will be estimated, based on unit area and
building function/construction type factors, and equipment requirements -
washers, hoists, cranes, dynamometers, cyclone cleaners, fueling systems, etc.
Further, a phased construction schedule to bring critical maintenance activities
on line in a timely manner will be recommended. Priorities will be established
on the basis of need, site availability and construction time, and the overall
financing program.
Product:: Six copies of a draft report of the PDOMR study for client review and
comments. This will include documentation suitable for attachment and support
of the UMTA capital grant application.
TASK 9: FINALIZATION OF PRELIMINARY DESIGN, OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT REPORT
Objective: To prepare and produce a final PDO&M report for the study.
Activities: Following review and approval of the draft report by the City, a
final report will be prepared for the study. This document will incorporate any
revisions required as a result of the review. Twenty-five copies will be pro-
duced and delivered to the City.
Product: Final Preliminary Design, Operations and Management Report.
TASK 10: IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
Objective: To identify environmental responsibilities at the outset of the
study, including information on agency requirements for impact assessments and
permits, and to gather information which will ensure technical and procedural
compliance with all environmental regulations.
Activities: As the initial concepts of the proposed facilities are defined, a
meeting will be held with UMTA Regional officials in Fort Worth to determine, or
initiate determination of the following:
a. Environmental status of the project (e.g., if the project might qualify
as an "exempt" action).
b. The extent of the information needed for a detemination of project
significance, and
-9-
c. the -appropriate scope of the environmental work if an environmental
impact statement is required.
Continuing coordination will be maintained throughout the project with UMTA
and other agencies as required, and the City will be briefed on environmental
tasks and strategies for meeting the requirements.
Product: A memorandum will be prepared "summarizing the results of the initial
coordination efforts with respect to required level of detail for the environ-
mental assessments, probable permit requirements, and the schedule for obtaining
environmental approvals before a capital grant application can be approved.
TASK 11: ESTABLISHMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE DATA
Objective: To develop data on existing conditions to provide sufficient docu-
mentation for federal and state determinations of impact significance, to assist
in identifying and selecting alternative garage and maintenance facility sites,
and to highlight potential problems at the candidate sites which may require
mitigation. \
Activities: Site-specific data will be compiled based on field inspections,
published information, and interviews, in the following technical areas:
a. Air quality, noise, and energy consumption (with respect to the existing
bus system/maintenance facilities).
b. Socio-economic conditions.
c. Land use, cultural, and historic/archaeologic resources.
d. Water, ecological, and land resources. _
e. Scenic and visual quality resources_
f. Traffic, transportation, safety, and access conditions.
As part of this task, preliminary environmental criteria for use in identi-
fying and evaluating the alternative candidate sites will also be developed.
Product: A technical memorandum or working paper will be prepared which sum-
marized existing conditions in each technical area. This document will comply,
if necessary, with the content requirements of an IJNTA Environmental Assessment
.Report (EAR). (It should be noted that an EAR is to be completed only if a
federal determination of the impact significance is required for the project.)
TASK 12: PRELIMINARY ENVIROfNMENTAL EVALUATION
Objective: To qualitatively determine and document probable impacts of the pro-
posed facilities at the alternative candidate sites for the federal and state
determinations of significance, and to develop additional information for the
site selection and facility planning tasks.
- 10 -
Activities: A preliminary assessment will be completed to determine the impacts
which might result from implementation of the proposed facilities at each of the
candidate sites. A technical memorandum which qualitatively summarizes the im-
pacts in each technical area under Task 11 will be submitted to the appropriate
review agencies. Coordination with the agencies during this review will aid in
expediting a determination of the project's environmental status - i.e., whether
an Environmental Impact Statement is required.
The output of this task will allow development of final environmental cri-
teria for use in selecting the recommended facility alternative.
Product: The environmental study team will prepare a memorandum or working pa-
per summarizing in a qualitative fashion the results of the environmental impact
analysis in each technical area. This memo will conform, if necessary, to the
content requirements of an UNTA Environmental Assessment Report.
TASK 13: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT PREPARATION
Objective: To complete the necessary impact assessments for the recommended bus
garage and maintenance facility, and to prepare the documentation required for
the environmental review process for the project. (This task will be completed
only if the Federal and state review of the project's environmental status de-
termines that an EIS is required for the project and is considered beyond the
scope of this Study.)
Activities: Based on data developed in Tasks 11 and 12, detailed environmental
assessments for the recommended alternative will be completed, to the level of
detail required for a Draft EIS, including the following:
a. Studies to establish operational parameters and traffic data for the bus
systems and the recommended garage and maintenance facility.
•b. Air quality, noise, and energy impact assessments.
c. Final assessments of probable socio-economic, visual quality, land use,
cultural, and historic/archaeological resources impacts. •
d.' Final assessments of probable water, land, and ecological resources
impacts.
Continuous coordination will be maintained with the appropriate state and
local agencies and with UMTA during the impact assessments and subsequent com-
pletion and circulation of the Draft EIS.
Product: The environmental study team will prepare an Environmental Impact
Assessment Report (EIR) for use in preparation of a Draft EIS, which will also
meet the requirements for a preliminary Draft EIS under Ui•1TA regulations if
necessary.
TASK 14: ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS AND PERIIIT SUPPORT
Objective:' To provide support to the City of Corpus Christi during preparation
of the environmental permits for the recommended facility, and to provide sup-
port to the extent that it is possible while final environmental approvals are
being obtained.
Activities:• Using information compiled for the Environmental Impact Assessment
Report, all permit applications will be completed and submitted to the appro-
priate agencies. Coordination will be maintained as required to expedite
approval of all permits. On behalf of the City, on-going coordination with the
agency preparing the Draft EIS for the project will also be provided through the
completion date of the basic study.
Product: The consultant will prepare' all supporting materials for permit appli-
cations and provide assistance through the completion date of the study toward
securing an approved Final EIS.

Re: Bus Maintenance and Administration Facilities
'Planning Study Proposal
Corpus Christi Office
18 July 1979
Dear Mr. Lontos:
Thank you for allowing Total Design Four and Parsons-Brinckerhoff
to clarify portions of our proposal to the City of Corpus Christi
for the Bus Maintenance and Administration Facilities Project
during our meeting in your office with you and Tom Stewart on
5 July. Mel Kohn of Parsons-Brinckerhoff and Clarence Upchurch
and Kim Crosskno from our office join me in our appreciation for
your professionalism and cordiality during our conference.
Our notes from the meeting reflect the following discussion of
our proposal:
1. Referring to our Organization Chart following page 16 of
the RFP:
a. The City expressed concern about the number of people
(19 different ones) we show for such a small job. Most
of the specialists would be used only to review interim,
draft and final reports. They would not visit Corpus
Christi and their involvement might be limited to one
or two days.
Mel Kohn will now be Principal -in -Charge for PBQ&D
instead of Salter since Mr. Kohn has been made an officer
of the firm.
b. The landscape architect would only review the conceptual
drawings and develop noise or other environmental buffers
as required. The structural, electrical and mechanical
engineers would merely provide input to the conceptual
drawings and cost estimates.

2. The City was concerned about the detail in our proposal
and whether or not we could accomplish all the services
indicated,
a. We pointed out that everything mentioned in the proposal
would necessitate being addressed for an UMTA submission
but the detail or depth to which we address each item
would be shallow. ,
b. We will rely on existing data and interviews with City
staff - no new data will be developed.
c. We anticipate the City -developed alternative sites
(Tom Stewart said about 15) will be analyzed only, and
it is anticipated the number for in-depth review' will
be narrowed down early in the review process to perhaps
three or four sites. We will make.a brief review of
aerial maps, etc., to determine that potential sites
have not been omitted (an unlikely occurrence).
d. Tasks 13 and 14 were stated to be beyond the scope of
this study. We believe it will not be necessary to
develop a full EIS if the best site is selected. How-
ever, we showed the tasks on our Flow Chart so the City
would have a full overview of the assignment.
3. The City asked about our use of 'a "study team" on various
tasks. Mel Kohn explained that our use of that phrase merely
referred to Total Design Four and Parsons-Brinckerhoff, not
to a large number of people on a specific assignment.
4. Route Studies. We indicated that a full-scale route analysis,
would not be made, but we would merely solicit comments from
City staff. Also, we would probably traverse some routes
to get a better knowledge of the operation and the environ-
mental considerations. We might also recommend some minor
changes to specific routes to accommodate a particular site
by minimizing dead head mileage; but no full-scale route
analysis would be accomplished

5. Tom Stewart indicated much of the material we listed in
Task 1 is available.
6. Site Review. We do not intend to make any title searches
unless authorized separately by the City and at additional
cost (we state that in Task 4). We assume the City will
provide tax data on the sites.
This information is submitted to clarify our proposal and
assist you in your selection process. We are grateful to you
for the opportunity.
