ATTACHMENT "A" BASIC SERVICES
The Engineer agrees to render services necessary for the development and completion the
Project as outlined herein. The Basic Services to be performed by Engineer under this
Contract include the following:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
WHISPERING HILLS DRIVE:
The project consists of providing construction documents for the reconstruction of
approximately 3,500 linear feet of Whispering Hills Drive from West Sandy Lake Road to
Magnolia Drive. The southern 2,000-feet consists of a typical 28' back to back curbed
residential street with adjacent sidewalks. The northern 1,500 feet consists of a 38' wide
concrete section with longitudinal ditches without curbs and adjacent sidewalks. The project
will involve the replacement of the water and sanitary sewer facilities within the existing
rights-of-way as well as adjacent sidewalks and driveways.
MOCKINGBIRD LANE:
The project consists of providing construction documents for the reconstruction of
approximately 1,900 linear feet of Mockingbird Lane from East Bethel School to Oriole Lane.
Mockingbird Lane is a typical 37' back to back curbed residential collector street adjacent to
two schools with no houses fronting the roadway. The project will involve the replacement of
the water and sanitary sewer facilities within the existing rights-of-way as well as adjacent
sidewalks and alleys. It is anticipated that storm drain improvements will be limited to
replacement of inlet tops and/or short extensions for additional individual inlets. Complete
redesign or reconstruction of the existing storm drain system or major modifications to the
storm drain system is excluded from the scope of this project.
BASIC SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED
J. Volk Consulting (JVC) proposes the following professional services:
1. RESEARCH/DATA COLLECTION
JVC will coordinate with the City of Coppell engineering staff to collect all pertinent
data the City has on each roadway and the adjacent developments. Additionally, JVC
will meet with the City staff to determine the exact limits of the replacement and to
discuss specific issues associated with preparing the construction documents for
constructing the proposed improvements.
2. FIELD SURVEYING
JVC will obtain field topographic survey of the project limits. The survey will include
all lead sidewalks, landscaping/trees in the yards adjacent to the streets, driveways and
any other above ground features. The survey will extend 150' beyond the limits of
Page 10
construction down intersecting streets and along any intersecting alleys. Flowlines of
all drainage structures, sewer structures, and sewer cleanouts within the survey limits
will be obtained. Any water meters, water valves and vaults will be located with
appropriate elevations to rims, top of pipes, and top of operating nuts. Any above
ground franchise utility facilities and markings will be located. Additionally, locating
services such as DIGTESS will be notified and locates requested throughout the limits
of survey. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is excluded from the basic service of
this contract.
Rights-of-way (ROW) will be established from iron rods found within platted
subdivisions and will be determined from filed plats and available property
information. ROW will be established within 0.5-feet accuracy as it is not expected to
obtain any additional ROW in association with this project.
The survey will be tied to the City of Coppell datums and benchmarks and will
establish control network within the project limits. Vertical and horizontal control
points will be set within the limits in such a way as to provide a control for
construction surveying.
3. SCHEMATIC DESIGN
WHISPERING HILLS DRIVE:
For the Whispering Hills project, it is anticipated that a schematic design process will
be utilized to determine the ultimate improvements to the project. JVC will evaluate
the existing roadway section and drainage patterns and develop two schematic level
options. The schematic options are to include both curbed and non-curbed roadway
sections and incorporate sidewalks along the northern section of the project. Working
with City staff, JVC will develop two options to be presented to adjacent property
owners and adjacent neighborhoods during a schematic level public meeting. JVC will
prepare exhibits for the public meeting including mounted schematic level layouts and
exhibits that can be presented in a power point presentation. JVC will assist the City
of Coppell staff in soliciting feedback from the attendees on the schematic options.
The comments and concerns will be documented, compiled and presented to City of
Coppell staff to be used in developing a preferred option. JVC will work with staff to
develop a preferred option to be presented in a second public meeting. Utilizing
feedback from the second public meeting and comments from City of Coppell staff,
JVC will develop the final schematic layout from which the construction documents
will be prepared.
MOCKINGBIRD LANE:
For the Mockingbird Lane project, the anticipated schematic design phase will consist
of a coordination meeting(s) with the school district and some reputable contractors to
develop a realistic schedule that can meet the needs of both the City of Coppell and the
Page 11
School District. During this phase, construction sequencing as well as locations of
proposed utility improvements will be analyzed to determine the best placement of the
reconstructed facilities. Additionally, creative construction and access options will be
explored for viability on this project.
4. PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Utilizing the topographic survey and information derived from the schematic design
process, JVC will prepare preliminary design plans for both the Whispering Hills
Drive and Mockingbird Lane projects that will include the following:
• Existing and proposed typical sections for project limits.
• Proposed horizontal and vertical alignments.
• Limits of pavement reconstruction for each project including driveways and
intersecting streets.
• Proposed water system improvements and connections to existing lines with
necessary pavement repair.
• Proposed sanitary sewer system improvements with services and connections to
existing facilities.
• Proposed storm drain improvements on Whispering Hills Drive and any curb
inlet replacements.
• Drainage area maps and calculations checking the drainage design with current
City of Coppell drainage criteria.
• Cross-sections along 50-foot intervals along the centerline of the proposed
improvements illustrating the limits of construction and impacts on the adjacent
properties.
• Approximate location of all known franchise utilities from the topographic
survey and any impacts the proposed improvements will have on the franchise
facilities.
• Preliminary construction sequencing plans necessary to adequately evaluate the
proposed improvements as it relates to the proposed location of underground
municipal utility improvements.
The preliminary design will be present in construction plan format in accordance with
City of Coppell Standards on 22px34e size sheets. The design will be in compliance
with current City of Coppell design standards and utilize current construction details.
JVC will coordinate with the City of Coppell to provide the proposed improvements to
all known franchise utility companies. Preliminary opinions of probable costs will
provided to the City of Coppell for the purposes of updating applicable budgets.
5. FINAL DESIGN
Based on preliminary design comments from the City, JVC will prepare final plans,
specifications, and opinions of probable costs. Construction plans will include all
Page 12
necessary details and information to construct the project in accordance with applicable
standards. All miscellaneous sheets, such as titles, general and special notes,
quantities, horizontal control, any special details, construction sequencing, traffic
control, erosion control, striping/signage and standard details will be prepared. Any
comments from franchise utilities will be addressed as necessary in the final plans.
Specifications and bidding documents will be prepared using City of Coppell standard
construction contracts. A final quantity take off will be prepared and a bid proposal
will be included in the contract documents.
Plans will be submitted to TDLR or an approved Registered Accessibility Specialist for
review of applicable accessibility standards. Any fees associated with the review and
application will be the responsibility of the City of Coppell.
6. BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Upon final approval of the construction documents, JVC will prepare and distribute bid
documents for the time period set by the City of Coppell. JVC will assist the City with
the preparation of the advertisement for bids. During the bidding process, JVC will
keep record of all plan holders and distribute any necessary information to the
prospective bidders in an addendum format. JVC will attend a pre-bid conference at
the City of Coppell facility to answer any questions. Additionally, JVC will attend the
bid opening and collect copies of the bids to prepare a tabulation of the bids and
provide recommendations on the bids.
After selection of Contractors and award of contracts, JVC will assist in the
preparation of contract documents for execution and initiation of a construction project
in the City of Coppell.
JVC will attend a pre-construction meeting with the City of Coppell personnel and
contractor. During construction, periodic site visits will be made and JVC personnel
will be available to answer questions regarding clarification of design intents. JVC will
consult with the City of Coppell regarding any required change orders and review
monthly progress payments.
Upon completion of construction, JVC will attend and aid the City of Coppell Staff in a
final inspection of the improvements and preparation of a punch list of remaining
items. JVC will revise construction plans to reflect any field changes during
construction to provide the City of Coppell with Record Drawings, including mylar
plots, electronic images and CAD files, in accordance with current city criteria.
JVC understands that the two roadways may be bid and constructed separately as the
