▪ The Client will be supplied with the Environmental Boundaries Survey Report, including features 
identified, their classification, field data forms, and mapping.  
Once Consultant’s Subconsultant completes the EBR, the EBR will be incorporated into the Initial Studies 
Coordination package and submitted to TDOT for review and comment. TDOT will submit the report to 
relevant regulatory agencies for review, as warranted.  
Assumptions: 
• It is assumed that no individual plant or animal species survey will be conducted as part of this 
proposed scope of services and cost estimate. If the Client, TDOT, or another state and/or federal 
agency requests a species survey, these services can be provided but will be considered Additional 
Services beyond this scope of services.  
Floodplains 
The Consultant will identify floodplains and floodways in the project area only through the review of National 
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). The Consultant will compile all FIRMs specific to the project area and 
will provide the relevant floodplains and floodways information as part of the TEER document. 
Section 4(f) – Recreational Resources 
It is assumed that the proposed project will not be assisted by USDOT funding and, therefore, Section 4(f) 
of the USDOT Act would not apply to the proposed action. 
A review of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) online data viewer does not indicate that any 
properties in the vicinity of the proposed project have received assistance from the LWCF; therefore, 
impacts to properties protected by Section 6(f) of the LWCF are not anticipated.   
If any Section 4(f) documentation or coordination (e.g., exception, evaluation, or de minimis determination) 
or any Section 6(f) documentation or coordination is deemed necessary by TDOT or another agency, these 
services can be provided by the Consultant i n accordance with the Additional Services clause of this 
agreement. 
 
Cultural Resources 
Section 106 – Historic Properties  
 
Given the proposed project would warrant the acquisition of right -of-way and/or easements, the 
Consultant’s subconsultant, Richard Grubb & Associates (RGA),  will be responsible for preparing a Section 
106 Historic Architecture Resources Survey to document and evaluate potential project effects to all 
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-listed and NRHP-eligible historic architecture resources in the 
area of potential effect (APE) per the criteria of adverse effects set forth in Section 106 regulatio ns. 
Additionally, measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate unavoidable adverse effects will be evaluated. 
The Consultant will complete a Section 106 Assessment report pursuant to TDOT’s template and once the 
Consultant’s subconsultant  completes the Section 106 Historic Architecture Resources Survey, the 
Consultant will incorporate the draft report into the Section 106 Assessment and submit the Section 106 
Assessment to TDOT for review and comment. TDOT will submit these reports to the TN-SHPO for review. 
Following the receipt of comments, the Consultant’s subconsultant will finalize the Section 106 Historic 
Architecture Resources Survey, and the results will be incorporated directly into the TEER document. 
Initial reviews of the project area indicate that the APE includes two Colonial Revival-style dormitories and 
a gymnasium on the campus of Tennessee Wesleyan University (TWU). At least two buildings on the TWU 
campus are individually NRHP listed and RGA an ticipates that the campus is likely NRHP -eligible as a 
district; however, RGA anticipates that TDOT and the Tennessee State Historic Preservation Office (TN -
SHPO) will only require survey and evaluation of the 3 campus buildings within the APE individually , and
