Task 3.3: 100% Plans, Estimate, & Specifications Following City 90% review, the plans will be updated based on city comments and Bolton & Menk QA/QC. A 100% complete plan set will be prepared and readied for bidding by contractors. Task 3.4: Permitting Bolton and Menk will apply for the following permits which are anticipated: 1. Work in Ramsey County ROW permit No permit fees are anticipated at time of this proposal preparation. Bolton & Menk can pay any required permit fees which will be passed through to the City. Task 3.5: Bidding, Contractor Questions, Revisions, & Award We will place the bidding documents on QuestCDN and facilitate an online bid opening for the project. During the time the project is being advertised, Bolton & Menk staff will field bidder questions, make revisions if necessary, and issue necessary addenda prior to the opening of bids. Following the bid opening, we will compile the bids received in a tabulation and abstract and make recommendation to the City regarding the bid award. Task 4: Construction Services Bolton & Menk will assist the city through the construction phase by providing construction administration, staking and observation services. Bolton & Menk will plan and lead the project's pre -construction meeting and review shop drawings as they are submitted by the contractor. We will provide part time on -site construction observation during the construction phase of the project. Our scope of services assumes construction will take approximately 6 weeks. We anticipate the part-time observation will occur at 20 hours per week. If full-time inspection is needed during 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. We are proposing to use an E.I.T. with similar project experience for construction observation on the project. Our construction observer will ensure the contractor is following the project plans and specifications and incorporating this information into building the streets and utilities. This individual will also handle communication and questions from residents, and they will relay information between the contractor and the city as necessary. Our survey crew will stake the proposed forcemain alignment and provide a cut to the proposed pipe. All other field locating of features are assumed to be the responsibility of the contractor, as surface disturbances will be restored in -kind and are anticipated to be small in size. Bolton & Menk will provide a qualified individual to administer the construction contract and provide periodic oversight of the construction observer. Contract administration is anticipated to require approximately 10 hours per week of responsibilities. This individual will conduct weekly virtual construction meetings with the contractor and prepare progress payments monthly and change order documents as necessary. Task 5: Project Funding The City is seeking external funding through the next MN Legislative Bonding Bill as well as Clean Water Revolving Funding (CWRF) through the MN Public Facilities Authority (PFA). CWRF Grants are typically available for communities based on affordability and median household income, for sanitary collection infrastructure, wastewater treatment facilities, and stormwater projects. Bolton & Menk will lead the pursuit of CWRF funding as proposed herein. Bolton & Menk will prepare an Environmental Information Worksheet (EIW) as required to prepare and submit the Project Priority List (PPL) application for CWRF funding. The EIW can, in some cases, require Section 106 review for potential impacts to known or potentially significant historic cultural resources. Because the project will be replacing an
