  • Development and implementation of a public involvement plan and agency coordination plan that will encompass the T/LPA process.

  • Preparation of a Design Analysis/Phase I-A/B Design Study Report that establishes and summarizes existing conditions, the project purpose and need, identification and evaluation of alternatives, and a recommended alternative.

  • Environmental investigations and preparation of an environmental document consistent with 23 CFR 771 and the NMDOT Location Study procedures.

  • Preliminary design of the recommended alternative.

  • Drainage analysis and memo.

  • Survey Control, Location Survey, and Topographic Mapping
