Three project components are being updated which will require additional scope for the Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) phase. The additional scope will provide benefits to the project including reduced right-of-way (ROW) costs, reduced schedule risk and enhanced operation and safety of the freeway. The additional scope elements include 1) geometric adjustments to the Grand Avenue connectors, 2) hydrologic analysis and consolidation of existing storm drains and 3) preparation of contract bid documents for the Diamond Bar Golf Course as required by mitigation measures under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Section 4(f).
