g. Environmental Services (NEPA Documentation) <br />1) The Engineer shall perform environmental services to complete an Additional <br />Information Document (AI) to satisfy State and Federal environmental <br />documentation requirements relating to a project modification proposed subsequent <br />to INDOT's approval of the CE. This scope of services has been developed through <br />coordination with INDOT Environmental Services. The proposed project <br />modification is related to the relocation of the Lift Station owned by the City of <br />South Bend. While impacted by the project design as originally proposed, the lift <br />station is to be relocated approximately 75ft south of its existing location, within the <br />boundary of Ponader Park and in an area suspected to be forested wetland. <br />2) The environmental services shall consist of the following work elements: <br />i. Perform a field reconnaissance of the location of the proposed project <br />modification, to verify that the INDOT Level 4 CE impact criteria and <br />thresholds would not be exceeded, and to collect information on <br />environmental resources. <br />ii. Review Red Flag Investigation (RFI) data layers and discuss any new items <br />found in the Al document text. (Note: Preparation of a new RFI is not <br />included in this scope of services) <br />iii. Prepare Section 106 consultation letter relating to the relocation of the lift <br />station. It is noted that subconsultant services (archaeological investigation) <br />are required. <br />iv. Prepare updated Section 4(0 De Minimis consultation and documentation. <br />V. Perform environmental studies relating to the expanded project footprint. <br />Determinations regarding the presence of jurisdictional wetlands and surface <br />waters are included in this task. <br />vi. Prepare a Draft Al document and submit to INDOT for review and <br />comment. <br />vii. Revise the AI document per comments received and submit a Final Al <br />document for INDOT approval. <br />viii. Distribute the Final Al Document per INDOT guidelines. <br />ix. Revise/update and resubmit the Environmental Commitments Database <br />Spreadsheet, as required. <br />3) The above described environmental compliance services shall be performed in <br />accordance with INDOT/FHWA-IN guidance documents including the Procedural <br />Manual for Preparing Environmental Documents (2008), the INDOT Categorical <br />Exclusion Manual (2013), the Indiana Cultural Resources Manual (2014) and other <br />guidance and/or procedures issued by INDOT and FHWA. <br />h. Utility Work Plan will be prepared for the forcemain, gravity sewer, and forcemain <br />relocation. <br />i.
