The <br />project includes extending the water main from the planned Vadnais Heights system from Labore Road. <br />This letter serves as a supplement to the existing Agreement for Professional Services between the City <br />of Gem Lake, Minnesota (Owner), and Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH®) (Consultant) for the provision <br />of professional services. <br /> <br />SCOPE OF WORK <br />We understand the scope of the project includes preparing a feasibility report, including a special benefit <br />appraisal to help the City determine a potential assessable amount. The work will also involve developing <br />construction plans for approximately 7,000 linear feet of new water main. The proposed improvements <br />will primarily utilize horizontal directional drilling along the less impactful side of the roadway, with the <br />main positioned approximately 4 feet off the edge of the road to reduce disturbance. <br /> <br />The new water main will extend from Labore Road approximately 3,100 feet along Goose Lake Road. It <br />will start again on Goose Lake Rd continue north along Haven Lane to its terminus and separately extend <br />north along Tessier Road to its end. An additional segment will extend from Goose Lake Road along the <br />private drive near Labore Road approximately 400 feet south. The project will also include a water main <br />extension from Labore Road east along Little Fox Lane for approximately 1,200 feet, then continuing <br />north along Big Fox Road for another 350 feet. Attachment B highlights the proposed project area. <br /> <br />Upon completion of the design phase, we will assist with the bidding process and provide construction <br />administration and inspection services. <br /> <br />Our scope of work for the Water Main Extension described above would be as follows: <br />· Perform a topographic survey of the project area for use in preparation of the construction plans. The <br />survey will include a review of any of the existing infrastructure within the project area to identify <br />potential conflicts with the proposed improvements. <br />· Assist City in executing the 429 Assessment Process.
