06E <br /> 4. What are the local political and economic factors that will influence <br /> the acceptability of any proposed option? <br /> With these fourl considerations in mind, the Consultant will prepare a range <br /> of service options which would result in both the improvement of existing <br /> services and, if found appropriate, any expansion. <br /> In Orange County, the previous TDP addressed what is usually the primary <br /> consideration in a human services coordination plan--what will be the <br /> management and administrative mechanism for carrying out , transportation <br /> coordination. This mechanism seems satisfactory to all parties involved. <br /> Thus, in this iaspect the Consultant will focus on an evaluation of this <br /> existing administrative structure, rather than developing a completely new <br /> mechanism. Th!e Consultant anticipates that the bulk of this work will fall <br /> into the service! improvement category with emphasis on the development of a <br /> • program that is coordinated to the maximum extent feasible. To accomplish <br /> the analysis, the Consultant will employ. a two-step approach that assesses <br /> • the maximum amount of vehicle-sharing possible and, secondly, the maximum <br /> • <br /> amount of ride-sharing possible. • <br /> For each of the service options developed, a brief discussion of the option <br /> will be provided, along with <br /> ° Management/organization impacts <br /> ° Participants affected by service option <br /> o Operating parameters <br /> o Vehicle requirements <br /> ° Projected Cost <br /> • <br /> All work accomplished under this task will be summarized in a second in- <br /> terim report and presented to the Project Steering Committee in their third <br /> meeting. <br /> • <br /> Task 7: Selection of Desired Service Alternative(s) <br /> (TDP Step 19) <br /> The Consultant, having presented a range of service alternatives along with <br /> a recommended improvement strategy in Task 6, will be available to provide <br /> one-on-one assistance or guidance to any particular agency or local govern- <br /> mental entity regarding the impact on their organization of any particular <br /> alternative. After a reasonable period of review, the Project Steering <br /> Committee will be asked to make a decision as to the desired service option <br /> recommended for further development. <br /> • <br /> 2-8 <br />
