County will be the lead agency and will enter into a subcontract with a consultant; through a Request for Proposal. The successful consultant will perform all work tasks will be done in English units. Work tasks'will include, but are not limited to the following: 1.. Environmental Documentation Preparation of a Draft and Final EA following Federal guidelines and the recommendations in the MnlDOT Highway Project Development Process (HPDP) is required. The EA will be for TH 10 within the specified study limits. Sections will include, but are not limited to: report purpose, purpose and need, alternatives analysis, social, economic and environmental impacts, State Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) form, public and agency involvement, and permits required and approval required. The successful consultant will complete all aspects of environmental reporting including, but not limited to: flood plain and farm land analyses, archaeological/historical surveys, wetland delineation, traffic impacts and modeling, ecologically-sensitive resource review, water quality/run-off and ponding, noise and air analyses, water pollution concerns and permits required, etc. The consultant will prepare traffic projections for the corridor based on the years 2010 and 2030. Discussions with the Cities of-Ramsey, Anoka and Elk River and Bums Township will be made to ensure all planned developments are incorporated into the study traffic projections, as well as the standard percent factor used by State and Anoka County. In the analysis ofthe possible alternatives for TH 10, a comparison of "No Build" versus the preferred alternatives will be made for both 2010 and 2030.

These comparisons will include, but not be limited to, a discussion of traffic operations including Level of Service, access management alternatives developed in accordance with Mn/DOT policies, right of way implications, suggested implementation timeframe and cost. Right of way needs and estimated costs will be prepared for all options. The consultant will prepare the noise analysis modeling for TH 10 for the following conditions: . Existing Conditions: daytime (7 :00 ani - 10:00 pm) and nighttime (10:00 pm - 7 :00 am) . No-Build Conditions: 2030 daytime and nighttime (see above) . .
