B. CALTRANS PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

El Camino Real is a State highway under Caltrans jurisdiction (State Route 82). This will require any improvements along El Camino Real to proceed through the Caltrans project development process. The Caltrans project development process consists of four primary stages: Project Initiation, Project Approval and Environmental Documentation (PA&ED), Project Design, and Construction. This process establishes the Caltrans approach to moving a project from the conceptual stage (as represented in the ATP and Streetscape Plan) into a project that is ready to be implemented. The stages of the project development process are each briefly described below:

1. Project Initiation Document (PID)

The PID process documents the project scope and allows funds to be programmed for future phases. As part of the PID, if the project is locally sponsored, a Project Study Report (PSR) or Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) is developed that includes a Preliminary Environmental Assessment Report (PEAR), Traffic Engineering Performance Assessment (TEPA), and Storm Water Data Report (SWDR). In addition, a risk register, design scoping, and conceptual cost estimates are prepared. This stage of the process programs funding for the PA&ED phase. If improvements are less than $3 million and the project is non-complex/non-controversial, a project can apply to go through the streamlined Permit Engineering Evaluation Report (PEER) or Encroachment Permit processes. This stage of the process typically ranges from 9 to 18 months in length.

2. Project Approval & Environmental Documentation

The PA&ED stage of the Caltrans project development process documents the alternatives under consideration including supporting engineering reports and discloses environmental impacts and mitigation measures. This stage includes more detailed study to determine design exceptions, more detailed cost estimating, advanced planning studies for structures, preliminary geotechnical studies, a Traffic Operations Analysis Report (TOAR), and preliminary drainage report. Right-of-way impacts and engineering features of the alternatives are identified and a preferred alternative is established and approved including any necessary design exceptions. In addition, required environmental documentation (CEQA/NEPA) is finalized with a Project Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (MMP). Caltrans is typically the lead agency for CEQA/NEPA and environmental documentation is prepared through Caltrans unless improvements extend beyond the Caltrans system. This stage of the process typically ranges from 18 to 36 months in length.

3. Project Design

During the project design phase Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) are prepared to design the improvements consistent with Caltrans Standards, identify supplemental technical specifications, and estimate quantities and values for all items of work. The construction documents enable right-of-way purchase, utility relocation, and allow for bids packages to be issued. If the project is locally-administered, construction is approved through the issuance of an encroachment permit for the project area. This stage of the process typically ranges from 18 to 36 months in length.

4. Construction

The final stage of the project development process is establishing a construction contract and implementing the designed improvements. This stage of the process typically ranges from 12 to 36 months in length.
