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
(IVRR V1_FW-
The City of Coppell would like to evaluate and provide schematic level design and planning for
the streets listed below. The roadways are in the latter stages of their design life and will need to
be replaced within the next 10 years. The purpose of this study will be to provide schematic
level design report presenting an evaluation of the public infrastructure located within the limits
of the project. The evaluation will include a study of the alignment, configuration of each
roadway, and the age of water, sewer and storm drain facilities within the roadways. A proposed
schematic layout will be prepared for each roadway as well as a detailed cost analysis for
replacing the public infrastructure for each roadway. The results of the schematic analysis will
be used to plan and identify funding sources and mechanisms for the replacement of the
facilities.
S. BELTLINE ROAD
Beltline Road from just north of IH 635 north to Southwestern Boulevard is currently a six lane
divided concrete street with a landscaped median. Water, sanitary sewer and storm drain
facilities are located within the right-of-way for the entire length of the project. Much of the
adjacent land is fully developed with industrial and commercial uses. Along the east side of the
roadway will be the new Northlake development, currently in the design development phase, that
will include mixed uses.
Beltline Road currently has five signalized intersections along with various right and left turn
lanes. These lanes have been added or modified as development has occurred adjacent to the
project.
FREEPORT PARKWAY
Freeport Parkway from just north of IH 635 north to W. Bethel Road is currently a four lane
divided concrete street with a landscaped median. The current alignment has a significant bend
just north of Grapevine Creek that limits the mobility through the corridor. Water, sanitary
sewer and storm drain facilities are located within the right-of-way for the entire length of the
project. Much of the adjacent land is fully developed with industrial and commercial uses.
Freeport Parkway has an at -grade railroad crossing just north of Southwestern Boulevard and no
signalized intersections. Various length left turn lanes are located throughout the project limits
to serve adjacent properties primarily consisting of industrial and commercial uses.
Page 10
The existing bridge over Grapevine Creek will be evaluated for condition and proposed options
will be presented for modifying or replacing the bridge to accommodate an adjustment in the
alignment to increase the design speed through the area.
ROYAL LANE:
Royal Lane is currently a four lane divided roadway with a generally wide median for future
expansion. The project limits run from just north of IH 635 north to North Point Drive. .
Water, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities are located within the right-of-way for the entire
length of the project. Much of the adjacent land is fully developed with industrial and
commercial uses.
Royal Lane crosses Cottonwood Branch with two individual bridges for each direction of travel.
An at -grade rail crossing exists just north of IH 635 and there is a signalized intersection at
Bethel Road. Left turn lanes of varying lengths provide access to the adjacent properties.
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. Data on existing utilities
will be collected as well as any design information on the existing bridges and drainage
structures. Any information on signalized intersections will be collected to determine
the existing facilities. Franchise utility information will not be collected at this point.
2. DRAINAGE EVALUATION
JVC will evaluate the original drainage designs for comparison to the current City of
Coppell standards. A schematic level drainage design will be developed to evaluate the
existing drainage facilities in order to determine the sizes of any additional or
replacement drainage facilities. Existing bridges will not be evaluated for capacity nor
will any modeling of creeks or streams be performed. For the schematic level
evaluation, HGL calculations will not be performed. All of the findings and results of the
drainage evaluation will be included in a Schematic Design Report as described below.
3. SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Utilizing the information collected and the results of the traffic study, bridge study, and
geotechnical study, a schematic level design will be developed for each roadway. The
schematic design will graphically reflect the findings of the various studies and
evaluations as an overlay to an aerial photograph. Any alignment changes, revisions to
turn lanes, additional lanes, median improvements, water system improvements,
sanitary sewer system improvements, drainage improvements, bridge
Page 11
modifications/improvements/replacements, pedestrian improvements, etc. will be
shown on the schematic exhibit for each street.
4. COST OPINIONS
Schematic level cost opinions will be developed for each roadway to be used for
developing budgets for the proposed improvements. Anticipated quantities will be
itemized and unit prices developed based upon current construction pricing. Any
alternatives developed during the schematic design will be included in the final cost
opinions. Upon completion of this project, it is anticipated that these cost opinions will
be used to develop possible funding sources for completion of the proposed
improvements.
S. SCHEMATIC DESIGN REPORT
All of the findings from this project will be presented in a Schematic Design Report. A
summary of the design process and assumptions will be presented along with any
recommendations from the related studies. Ages and any known conditions of City
owned utility facilities within the project limits will be shown along with the
recommended improvements for those facilities. Any special conditions discovered
during the schematic design process will be explained.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
1. Geotechnical Investigation
JVC will contract with a reputable Geotechnical Engineering firm to provide a
geotechnical investigation of the projects. The investigation will perform subsurface
exploratory borings at approximately 1,000 -foot intervals to a depth of ten feet and
collect samples for recording subsurface conditions and laboratory testing. Additionally,
exploratory borings into bedrock near the bridge on Freeport Parkway for the purposes
of providing typical foundations to support bridge modifications. Results of field and
laboratory will be presented in a report with recommendations on options for the
pavement structure for the proposed improvements along with recommendations for
subgrade options. Data required for the design of typical foundation systems for bridge
modifications will be provided.
2. Traffic Study
JVC will contract with a reputable traffic engineering firm to provide a Traffic study for
the three roadways. The Study will consist of the following:
Collection of Background Information:
• Field observation of traffic operations at major intersections along each roadway
within segment to identify movements experiencing capacity constraints.
Page 12
• Collect any existing or historical traffic count data for project roadway segments
and intersections
• Work with the City of Coppell to collect future traffic volume data from the
NCTCOG. Scope of work does not include developing new volumes for the design
year, but will develop peak hour volumes for the project roadway segments based
on the daily volumes provided by the NCTCOG.
• Evaluate planned and future development plans.
• Collect and evaluate any traffic study performed by the City or for a private
development.
• Evaluate crash summary data (not individual crash report), if available.
Perform Roadway Traffic Analysis:

project segment. Utilizing the traffic volume data, perform roadway link capacity
analysis for each project roadway segment.
• Based on the link capacity analysis results, recommend ultimate lane configurations
(number of through lanes in each direction of travel) for each project roadway
segment.
Identify improvements at major intersections along each project roadway
segments. These improvements may include turn lanes, traffic signal upgrades or
new installations, lighting, ITS devices etc.
