APPENDIX A WORK PLAN PROJECT SCOPE City of South Bend Proposal for Engineering Services Hill Street Improvements June 20, 2013 Page 2 of 4 The proposed project consists of replacing sections of curbs and sidewalks on Hill Street between Crescent Avenue and Corby Boulevard, and constructing a new paved alley, approximately 1,000 feet, parallel to Hill Street on the west side with two approaches on Hill Street and one approach on Corby Boulevard. In addition, the vacated Kalorama Street approach shall be removed and new sewer /water services designed for the new residential lot created from the street vacation. We will incorporate our platting efforts previously performed for South Bend Heritage Foundation to help reduce research and setup time. It is our understanding that Tax Increment Financing (TIF) dollars will fund the project; therefore, the project will either be bid or quoted through the City process. SCOPE OF SERVICES Based upon our understanding of the project goals and objectives, we propose to perform the following services to assist the City with completing this community enhancement project: Task #1: Field Survey This task includes performing a topographic survey of the proposed project to determine the location of existing features (sidewalks, curbs, pavement, manholes, inlets, visible utilities, etc.), and to gather surface elevations of the alley right -of -way for new pavement. Prior to starting the field survey, utility locates will be requested through Indiana 811 and utility maps will be requested from the various utility companies. Task #2: Engineering Design This task includes preparing construction documents for the proposed project. We anticipate these documents to include the City's standard cover sheet, maintenance of traffic if needed, plan /profile sheets, construction details, and sewer /water details for the new residential lot. This task also includes preparing the complete bid package consisting of special provisions, front end requirements, calculating project quantities, bid proposal, and developing an estimate of construction costs. We anticipate meeting with the City to kick -off the project, and to review preliminary and final documents. After any revisions are made, a final set of construction bid documents shall be submitted to the City. We anticipate working directly with the City on setting the project schedule and advertisement dates.
