This is Exhibit A, Scope of Basic Engineering Services, referred to in and part of the Short Form of Agreement between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services dated Scope of Basic Engineering Services Project Understanding The City of South Bend Department of Public Works previously contracted with Arcadis to conduct a gap analysis to identify improvement opportunities, quick wins and develop a road map to successfully implement an asset management program that will enhance the management of infrastructure with an emphasis on innovative technological solutions to achieve a data -driven capital program. The project was specifically focused on linear assets including water, wastewater, stormwater and transportation. As part of this project, Arcadis recommended several IT support related projects including cleanup of the data within ArcGIS and ultimately enhancement and expansion of its use. Specifically, Arcadis found that the sewer GIS data had several geometry errors and it did not include a Geometric Network to enforce proper connectivity. Additionally the reference as -built drawings were not accessible through the GIS. A full list of recommendations are found in the draft Asset Management Gap Analysis and Road Map technical memorandum submitted to the City in May 2016. The City's Innovation and Technology Department (Department) would like to move forward with the data cleanup, which is the focus of this project. The focus will be on combined, sanitary and storm sewer linear assets. The Department would like Arcadis to clean up the sewer networks and index available reference drawing boundaries and document their title block information, within the GIS. The main goal and focus of this project is to prepare the GIS data to ensure the Department has a solid data foundation that ensures future updates and data improvements are easily managed. At this time the Department does not want a complete review and confirmation of the sewer network through evaluation of as -built drawings. Project Tasks The following tasks will be completed: Task 1. Sewer System Kick -Off Meeting Areadis will hold a kickoff meeting with the Innovation and Technology and Sewers Departments to outline the details related to the sanitary, combined and storm sewer network cleanup effort. The agenda for this meeting will include the following topics. • Conversion and cleanup approach Confirm data sources o Up-to-date Sewer Database • Confirm cleanup rules • Confirm geometric network layers Exhibit A, Scope of Basic Engineering Services Pate 1
