PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK The Bolton & Menk team will be committed to project success. The following tasks are proposed to be completed. Task 1: Data Collection Task 1. 1: Topographic & Boundary Survey Bolton & Menk will conduct a field survey to create a base map identifying existing features. The CAD base map produced will be used as the basis and background for final design. The field survey will include the following efforts: • Research of county information (section, maps, plats, etc.) • Research of MnDOT information (such as geodetic monuments) • Review of City provided parcel documentation regarding property ownership of the project corridor. This review will be particularly focused on the presence of any existing private utility company easements and associated restrictions. If such easements and any associated restrictions are identified, discussion regarding these will occur during the utility coordination meeting(s) for the project. • Securing and reviewing 4 Owner & Encumbrance (O&E) reports for the project property and un-platted property along the project corridor to understand the presence of existing easements within and along the project corridor. • Submit Gopher State One Call tickets for field markings and maps along the project corridor. • Preparing/calculations for field staff (property corner search points, survey collector job file, etc.) • Establishing project control based on Ramsey County coordinate system, NAD 83 (2011 Adj.) with elevations based on NAVD 88 • Field locations of existing conditions, utilities, property corners, etc. • Topographic survey of an estimated 2,400 LF of the forcemain corridor, generally confined to the property boundaries for the forcemain and within 20' of the forcemain along County Road E. • An estimated 27 sanitary sewer and storm sewer structure inventories • Determination of right-of-way locations / parcel boundary of the subject property the forcemain is located within and along County Road E. From our review in preparation of this proposal, we understand there are 6 plats and 2- unplatted parcels to be reviewed and located along the project corridor. • Drafting of an existing conditions base map of the project area in CAD / Civil 3D for subsequent use in design. Task 1.2: Geotechnical Design & Coordination Bolton & Menk will contract with a qualified geotechnical engineer to complete 4 soil borings in the project area and collect blow counts, both of which will be useful for prospective HDD contractors preparing bids and performing work for the City on this project. Due to the overhead transmission power lines which prohibit use of traditional boring methods, Braun will collect the borings offset from the proposed alignment by approximately 50 feet. While there is some inherent risk the soil conditions may vary within those 50' thereby yielding some potential for a `change in conditions' to the construction contract, the offsetting of the boring location is a reasonable method to control cost over more cost prohibitive soil data collection methods which also would contain some potential for changing conditions along the length of the forcemain. Bolton & Menk will incorporate the geotechnical data in the bidding documents for contractor reference. Task 2: Public Engagement, Project Meetings, & Coordination Task 2. 1: Internal Design & City Meetings During the core design process, Bolton & Menk's design team will routinely meet internally to develop a cohesive project design. Two meetings with City Staff are also planned to occur at the following stages: 1. 60% design meeting 2. 90% design meeting We assume two City Council meetings will be attended by Bolton & Menk during execution of the project.
