146 around the pertinent details of the design. WSB staff will be prepared to answer 147 questions from the Council, and to implement any comments received in conjunction 148 with City staff. 149 1.4 Design Review Meetings 150 WSB will hold five design review meetings with City staff. WSB will organize these 151 design review meetings around major project milestones so that staff time is used 152 effectively and appropriate input can be obtained at key points and incorporated into 153 the project design and schedule. 154 1.5 Mn/DOT, County and Agency Coordination 155 WSB will organize regular agency coordination meetings that will include key city 156 staff. These meetings will be used to update Mn /DOT and Ramsey County on key 157 preliminary and final design issues as the project moves from preliminary to final 158 design. In addition, WSB will directly coordinate with each of the Mn /DOT functional 159 groups in order to expedite plan review. We will also coordinate directly with Ramsey 160 County design staff on issues related to the County roads. 161 2, DATA COLLECTION 162 2.1 Traffic Counts and Observation 163 WSB will count A.M. peak hour turning movement at three intersections (this time 164 period was not included in the AUAR). Observe traffic operations on Cleveland 165 Avenue, up to three intersections, for model calibration subtask. 166 2.2 Topographic Survey 167 Design level topographic survey will be performed for the roadway and utility 168 corridors. WSB is proposing to use our High Density Laser Scanning for the survey, 169 which will allow us to do the survey without obtaining permission from the property 170 owner for entry. WSB will supplement the scanning with traditional topographic 171 survey should specific areas require it, such as storm sewer inverts. 172 Typical items identified by horizontal coordinates and elevations include: roadway 173 centerline, curb and gutter, edge of bituminous, grade breaks, edge of sidewalk, signs, 174 above - ground utility structures, valve and manhole covers, pipe inverts, storm sewer 175 outlets, edge of water, and significant vegetation. 176 2.3 Utility Mapping and Coordination 177 This task will include ordering a Gopher State One Call design ticket, resulting in 178 identification of all receiving entities in the area as well as triggering delivery of facility 179 maps. We will obtain as -built plans from the City, Met Council, Ramsey County, and 180 Mn /DOT as needed. WSB will attempt to have the facilities located in the field so they 181 can be picked up with field survey and included on the base mapping for the project 182 area. 183 Coordination with the private utilities will include mapping their facilities on our base 184 drawing and returning it to them requesting review for accuracy. Once preliminary 185 design has been completed, WSB will contact the utilities to identify potential conflicts 186 and discuss necessary relocations. If necessary, a meeting will be held to resolve any 187 remaining issues and finalize the scope of needed relocations and schedules relative to 188 planned construction. 3
