All rights reserved. <br /> <br />The City would like to explore a revised design option that addresses the City needs <br />as well as Stephenson Mills and the Cascades. The following additional tasks are <br />proposed: <br />a) As-Built Topographic Survey: Abonmarche (or other local surveyor) will <br />perform an as-built survey of the eastern portion of the Cascades Phase 1 <br />development including but not limited to Finish Floor elevation, door locations, <br />exterior pads, utility manholes and hydrants, driveways and other changed <br />surface conditions from when the prior survey was completed in 2018/2019. The <br />as-built information will be combined with the previous completed survey to <br />create a base map for use in the following tasks. <br />b) Preliminary Design: SmithGroup will prepare preliminary design options (up to <br />two options) for Gintz Drive that accounts for the as-built conditions of the Phase <br />1 Cascades development, existing Stephenson Mills infrastructure and future <br />Seitz Park design, including UND Hydroelectric infrastructure. The design <br />options will consider providing access to the exterior doors on the east side of the <br />Cascades building, primarily for maintenance needs, while maintaining universal <br />access within the Stephenson Mills parking and entry walk areas. The design <br />options will extend to connect to the Seitz Park and UND infrastructure elements <br />to provide adequate access for vehicular and pedestrian access throughout the <br />combined sites. The reconstruction of the Stephenson Mills parking lot will be <br />included as well. The preliminary design options, including preliminary opinions <br />of probable construction costs will be reviewed with City staff. SmithGroup will <br />incorporate review comments into a preferred preliminary design that the City <br />can review with the adjacent property owners. SmithGroup will participate in one <br />virtual review meeting with adjacent property owners at the City’s request. <br />c) Construction Documents: SmithGroup will prepare final construction documents <br />using City of South Bend standard details and specifications as a separate bid <br />package from current Seitz Park project. SmithGroup will assist the City in <br />preparing the formal bid package for Gintz Drive and providing assistance <br />throughout the bidding process. Note: Labor included in this task is re-designing <br />up to 60% construction documents and for preparing the documents as a <br />separate bid package. Preparation of the final 100% construction documents is <br />included in prior Amendment No. 1. <br />d) Implementation: During construction, SmithGroup will respond to contractor <br />questions (RFIs), review submittals/shop drawings and participate in weekly <br />coordination phone calls. If needed, SmithGroup has included an allowance to <br />perform two (2) on-site field observation visits. It is anticipated that this work <br />will occur after the Phase 1 completion date. <br /> <br />b. The Scope of Services currently authorized to be performed by Engineer in accordance <br />with the Agreement and previous amendments, if any, is modified as follows: <br />1) Task 4 Modifications (Phase I): <br />a) The SmithGroup Team will continue to review submittals/RFIs and attend bi- <br />weekly OAC meetings as well weekly internal owner meetings with one (1) in- <br />person meeting via web-ex/video conference calls for one (1) additional month. <br />Construction site visits are anticipated to happen approximately one time per <br />month.
