City of South Bend: PE Services for Coal Line Trail Phase 3 (Des # 2201235) in the La Porte District | HWC Engineering 7 TASK 1: ON-SITE REVIEW OF EXISTING CONDITIONS • HWC competed a site visit on February 22, 2023 to identify potential conflicts and confirm the best location of the trail. • HWC reviewed available information online regarding all phases of Coal Creek Trail. • Existing topography, bus routes, and utilities were identified. TASK 2: SURVEY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS • Perform and review a topographic survey to confirm site observations and obtain a basis for the design of the project. • Includes full topo from back of existing walk to back of existing walk. • Will obtain measurements for all drainage structures to ensure our design accommodates proper drainage. • Identify areas where additional property acquisition or easements may be required for trail, trailhead, and/or utility needs. • Prepare a proposed right-of-way diagram and table to illustrate future right-of-way needs. • Prepare a diagram to illustrate potential utility conflicts. • Identify environmental resources and constraints along the corridor, including wetlands, floodplains, karst features, pipelines, wells, and hazardous materials concerns. In general, our methodology for the design of Phase 3 of the Coal Creek Trail consists of two distinct parts. The first part consists of preliminary engineering and scoping. This first part is intended to scope out segments of the trail into projects which can be fast-tracked and those which will take additional time due to right-of-way needs, permitting requirements, or utility and railroad coordination. The second part of the project consists of preparing detailed construction documents, permitting, and construction of the trail segments identified in Part 1. The scope of services proposed for Part 1: Preliminary Engineering and Scoping is listed below. Project Approach TASK 3: PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING • Develop preliminary engineering plans to include the following: • Trail alignment • Proposed edge of pavement • Typical sections • Location of trailhead amenities and parking • Spot grading for area of concern • Initiate outreach for preliminary utility coordination. • Attend one design coordination meeting with the City and any other stakeholders (assumed up to two meetings). • Attend three progress meetings with South Bend.
