SCOPE OF SERVICES
FOR
SOUTH COPPELL ROAD
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The CITY is proposing to construct improvements including paving reconstruction, on- street parking,
stonn drain system, and misc. water line connections. The South Coppell Road improvements are
limited to the area from Bethel Road to Southwestern Road.
The 8" and possibly the 2" waterlines located along South Coppell Road will be abandoned. All
connections from this waterline will tie into the existing 16" water main. The existing sanitary sewer
line will not be moved or affected as it appears to be at sufficient depth per record drawings. An
underground stonn sewer system will be installed where needed to facilitate drainage of the right -of-
way and surrounding properties.
The parameters for design of the improvements shall include the following:
• Project control to be based on a local control monumentation provided by the CITY. Field surveys
will be included. Prior to construction, we will provide the initial staking of the monuments and
the proposed centerline. Three (3) permanent control points (X, Y, & Z coordinates of each) shall
be established and marked by the contractor outside of the construction limits for future reference.
• Final plan size to be 22" x 34" for reproducible copies to 11" x 17 ". Scale of plans to be:
1" = 20' Horizontal; 1"= 4' Vertical
• Driveway replacement to be made to the property line, unless grade changes in street necessitate
more replacement.
• A construction sequencing plan shall be considered for each area of construction.
• All design work will be prepared in AutoCAD 2007, with CD's to be furnished to the CITY upon
completion of the record drawings.
• Submittals to the CITY of work -in- progress shall be at 60 %, 90 %, and 100% stages for
completion. For each stage of review, two (2) full size and two (2) half -size sets of drawings will
be furnished to the CITY. Due to the fast track schedule proposed for this project, we have
prepared this proposal such that the typical 30% plan submittal is not included. We proposed
instead to conduct monthly project meetings with CITY in which the on -going plan progress will
be reviewed and design issues discussed.
• Standards and typical construction details of the CITY may be referred to in the specifications and
on the drawings.
• Parking along South Coppell Road will be laid out per exhibit, "Old Coppell — Development
Possibilities Map ", provided from the CITY. Spaces shall be designed per city standards and
requirements. CITY will be responsible for approval.
• Pavement design will be based on CITY standards as well as the geotechnical information
previously obtained by FNI for the Bethel Road project. Additional borings and analysis will not
be performed for this project unless the CITY authorizes FNI to proceed with it as an Additional
Service.
Exhibit "A" Page 1 of 8
FNI shall perform the necessary engineering and related techi services for the Design, Bidding,
and Construction Phase Services, including necessary Special Services for development of this project
according to the following sections of this agreement. The scope is divided into two design phases
including Preliminary and Final Design due to the fast track nature of the project.
TASK DESCRIPTIONS — SCOPE OF SERVICES
Basic Services
A. Preliminary Design Phase
1. Field Surveys - Survey and prepare a design/topographic survey map for an area 100
feet wide (50 feet on each side of the centerline) along South Coppell Road from Bethel
Road to Southwestern Road.
2. Pre - Design
a. Kick -off Meeting — We will meet the CITY to discuss the planning and the
design criteria, work program and schedule, procedures of communication,
basis of compensation, limits of survey, assignnents of personnel, and any
other matters that may have direct or indirect effects upon the completion and
results of this project. Other work and review conferences will be scheduled
throughout the progress of the project.
b. Data Gathering - Obtain, from the CITY, all available property plats
easements, street right -of -way widths, record drawings of the existing
pavement, utilities and drainage systems, planning reports, traffic counts,
zoning ordinances and other data that may be pertinent in considering the
alignment, location, final design, and construction of the proposed
improvements.
c. Field Visits — Determine from a field reconnaissance of the project area the
general lay of the land for the paving improvements and other related
appurtenances. Tlnis general layout will first address the following:
i. Locations of existing utilities — water, gas, electric, sanitary sewer,
telephone cable, power poles, TV- cable, drainage facilities, traffic
signalization controls, lighting system, etc.
ii. Existing driveways
iii. Availability of right -of -way
iv. Access and convenience for construction operations
v. Crossing of drainage ways and structures
vi. Landscape restoration
vii. Proximity to private property improvements, i.e., fences, mail boxes,
sidewalks, etc.
Exhibit "A" Page 2 of 8
3. FNI will prepare preliminary construction plans as follows:
a. Drainage area maps with drainage calculations and hydraulic computations. A
drainage area map will be drawn from available contour maps. Calculations
regarding street and right -of -way capacities and design discharges at selected
critical locations will be provided.
b. Preliminary project plan and profile sheets showing curb lines, driveways,
sidewalks, elevations at all PVI's and PI's: high and low points, vertical curve
information, and pertinent AASHTO calculations. Existing found property
corners (e.g. iron pins), along the existing right -of -way shall be shown on the
plans.
Existing utilities and utility easements will be shown on the roadway plan and
profile sheets. FNI will coordinate with utility companies and the CITY to
ascertain what, if any, future improvements are plamied that may impact the
project.
d. Horizontal and vertical control plan that locates all proposed and existing
facilities. Legal descriptions (Lot Nos., Block Nos., and Additional Names)
along with property ownership shall be provided on the plan view.
4. Investigate and resolve conflicts with existing utility (water, sewer, drainage, gas,
telephone, and electric) locations and depths.
