SRF Consulting Group City of Arden Hills | Mounds View High School Trail Improvements 2 Scope of Services TASK 1 - PROJECT COORDINATION SRF Project Manager will hold a kickoff meeting, conduct bi-weekly telephone check-in meetings with City staff and review available project related information and record plans. The SRF Project Manager will regularly review project budget and schedule to ensure overall concurrence with the project objectives and in order to meet established milestones. SRF will maintain quality controls with independent quality checks per the SRF Quality Management Plan. SRF will coordinate efforts with other agency stakeholders including the following: • Attend/participate in up to two Arden Hills City Council meetings. • Attend/participate in up to two coordination meetings with Ram- sey County. Additional detail noted in Task 8. • Attend/participate in up to two coordination meetings with the Rice Creek Watershed District. TASK 2 - PROJECT SURVEY SRF will conduct a topographic and property survey of the project corridor to collect elevations and locations of surface/subsurface features, per standards identified in the RFP. SRF will locate property corners, reference area plats and prepare a base ROW map of the project area for use in preparing construction plans. Existing utilities along the corridor will be identified by gopher state one call and drafted into a base map for use in the plans. A utility coordination meeting will be held during design to engage the facility owners, discuss schedule and request relocations as required. Impacted owners will be invited to the preconstruction meeting for followup. TASK 3 - GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION & SECURING REQUIRED EASEMENTS SRF will coordinate a geotechnical investigation for the project site and have a geotechnical recommendation memorandum with bor- ing logs prepared. This work will be completed by our subconsultant Northern Technologies Incorporated (NTI). TASK 4 - PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Critical to the success of a trail project like this is clear and transpar- ent communication with the affected public. SRF will follow a clear and organized process for public engagement. The plan will include an online property owner survey form to be distributed to adjacent residents. SRF will also conduct a public informational meeting with adjacent property owners. Given current restrictions on public gath- erings this meeting is likely to be virtual, however, if weather and health restrictions allow the meeting would ideally be held outside along the corridor. Regardless of the meeting format, the SRF Public Engagement Team (PET) has a wide variety of tools and activities to make the public engagement process inclusive, engaging and effective in generat- ing public input and finding opportunities to reduce potential costs. TASK 5 - ALTERNATIVES REVIEW SRF will review and evaluate alternatives and approximate costs for the trail alignment based on site conditions along the project corri- dor. Alternatives that may be considered would be changes to the roadway lane configuration of Snelling Avenue and Lake Valentine Road to minimize property impacts and easement needs. SRF will review alternatives in a meeting with City staff to determine the pre- ferred trail alignment and get City concurrence prior to proceeding with detailed design efforts.
