®Task 12: Construction Services Bolton & Menk will assist the city through the construction phase by providing construction administration, observation, and staking services. We feel our practical and pragmatic approach during design is built from our team's thorough understanding and background working on the construction phase of projects. As such, we excel in this area. We will plan and lead the project's pre -construction meeting and review shop drawings as they are submitted by the contractor. Our survey crew will complete the following field staking tasks during construction: • Control verification • Staking watermain replacement for the reconstruction areas • Staking storm sewer replacement, as necessary, for the reconstruction areas and drainage improvements near 4242 Norma Avenue • Staking storm sewer (assumes 13 structures identified by city public works staff for replacement and an estimated additional 12 structures to be reconstructed to include additional BMPs prior to outfall — 25 total structures) • Staking curb for the reconstruction areas and Floral Park parking area • Providing select bluetops at tie-in intersections for the reconstruction areas • Providing two control points per pond for contractor's equipment to complete pond dredging via GPS (control points will be at top nut of existing hydrants or permanent iron pipes with brass/aluminum caps for the city's long-term use) • Verification survey at conclusion of pond dredging excavations/grading (assumes one per pond) Survey crews will provide construction stakes with alignment and grade, as necessary, and documentation of all survey points installed. If the assumptions above change or other facilities are requested for staking, our project staff will be available to complete further field staking for an additional fee based on submitted hourly rates. We will provide on -site construction observation throughout the project. Our scope of services assumes construction will take approximately 12 weeks. It is expected that full-time observation, 50 hours per week, will be needed during reconstruction and utility construction, and part-time observation, 30 hours per week, will be needed during rehabilitation construction, to complete this project. These assumptions are based on the minimum amount of time and effort to inspect work throughout the construction season. The hours do not account for items outside of Bolton & Menk's control and it is possible that a higher level of service will be needed. If full-time inspection is needed throughout construction and the hours and/or duration need to increase from our estimate, Bolton & Menk can provide that level of service, with the approval of the city, for the additional hours needed at the hourly rate provided in our Summary of Fees table. Bolton & Menk's construction observer will observe the work performed by the contractor per the project plans and specifications, make notations for as -built purposes where acceptable deviations are made by the contractor, and produce required documentation for this locally funded project. This individual will also handle communication and questions from residents, and they will relay information between the contractor and the city as necessary. The observer will also coordinate construction materials testing with a testing agency to be provided by the city; construction materials testing is not included in our proposal and/or fees. We will coordinate to have two geotechnical firms provide quotes for construction materials testing for the city's consideration. Bolton & Menk's construction observer will be available via phone, email, and text to respond to resident needs throughout construction. Our project team will provide updates and notices as necessary for water shutdowns and access restrictions, making sure residents have access when possible and when needed. We will also respond to commonly -asked questions and requests during the construction process. Our project manager will provide oversight of our construction observer, administer the construction contract, and facilitate weekly construction meetings. It is anticipated that our project manager will spend approximately 10 hours per week on construction administration responsibilities. They will conduct weekly construction meetings with the contractor during utility and reconstruction portions of the project (and as -needed thereafter), prepare progress payments monthly, and prepare change order documents as necessary. They will also provide monthly construction newsletters to the city for mailing to residents. UV Task 13: Project Closeout Work under this task includes completing a review of the project site with the city and the contractor. We will walk the site with project stakeholders and identify any punch list items that need to be addressed. We will provide a copy of the punch list from the walkthrough and review the items in coordination with the construction observer. Bolton & Menk will survey the final improvements and prepare record drawings to deliver to the city for the project. The as-builts will be in electronic PDF format, including redlined elevations and changes made during the construction process and documented by the construction observer during their observation duties or received separately from the city's contractor. The as -built survey will verify structure installations for horizontal location, rim elevation, and inverts of fully replaced structures (storm CBs/MHs and water valves/hydrants — assumes a total of 34 structures). All other utilities remaining in place, including those identified for casting replacement or adjustment, will not be collected as part of the as -built survey.
