A) Project Description - Build Alternative Template
Project Name:
Insert Current Phase (e.g. Applic. for LoI, PE/FD, Applic. for Construction Grant, Construction, Serv Ops)
Describe the project elements to explain the unit costs shown on the Main Worksheet. Example: A 20-mile new light rail project has its guideway entirely on grade except for a one-eighth mile
bridge over a river. The bridge or aerial structure may have a relatively high unit cost because there is little economy of scale.
Mention precedents and reference points used in the development of costs for this project. Mention other aspects of this project that were important considerations in estimating costs. These could
include the physical context, site constraints; design parameters; institutional, contracting and procurement conditions; project schedule, etc.

Reference Notes: The following categories and definitions are applied to funding sources:
Committed: Committed sources are programmed capital funds that have all the necessary approvals (legislative referendum) to be used to fund the proposed project without any additional action. These capital funds have been formally programmed in the State Rail Plan and/or any related local,
regional, or state CIP or appropriation. Examples include dedicated or approved tax revenues, state capital grants that have been approved by all required legislative bodies, cash reserves that have been dedicated to the proposed project, and additional debt capacity that requires no further approvals and
has been dedicated by the transit agency to the proposed project.
Budgeted: This category is for funds that have been budgeted and/or programmed for use on the proposed project but remain uncommitted, i.e., the funds have not yet received statutory approval. Examples include debt financing in an agency-adopted CIP that has yet to be committed in their near future.
Funds will be classified as budgeted where available funding cannot be committed until the grant is executed, or due to the local practices outside of the project sponsor's control (e.g., the project development schedule extends beyond the State Rail Program period).
Planned: This category is for funds that are identified and have a reasonable chance of being committed, but are neither committed nor budgeted. Examples include proposed sources that require a scheduled referendum, requests for state/local capital grants, and proposed debt financing that has not yet
been adopted in the agency's CIP.
