GOLDEN TRIANGLE MOBILE HOME PARK
Water Line & Fire Hydrant Improvemente
Coppell, Dallas County, Texas
WA 00-02
Dear Ms. Taylor:
Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal to
provide professional civil engineering and land surveying services relating to the
referenced project. This project involves the design of approximately 1000 linear feet of
8-inch water main with three fire hydrants in the Golden Triangle Mobile Home Park
located on the west side o! Coppell Road between Oak Grove Drive and Ruby Road in
Coppell, Texas.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on our review of the information received to date, the following is our perception
o! the services to be provided by Pacheco Koch for the referenced project:
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY: Pacheco Koch will perform an on the ground survey
of the two project areas under the direct supervision of a Registered Professional
Land Surveyor. The survey will include location of all permanent improvements
(pavements, manholes, fences, etc.) spot elevations at 50~foot intervals,
contours on one foot intervals, top of curb and gutter elevations for paving and
curbs, locations of trees over 3-inches in caliper, and the location and sizes of
underground utilities based on available record information. Horizontal and
vertical control will be established as part of this item. Referencing the control to
state plane coordinates is not included as part of this item.
WATER PLAN: Pacheco Koch will prepare construction plans and details for
proposed water mains and fire hydrants for the project as generally defined in
exhibits attached to the Request for Qualifications dated December 20,2001. It
is anticipated that due to the size of the proposed main, profile drawings will not
be required.
EASEMENT DOCUMENTS: Pacheco Koch will prepare separate instrument
dedication documents for permanent water main easements and temporary
construction easements as required. These documents will include a dedication
statement, survey exhibit and metes and bounds description for each easement.
It is anticipated that two (2) permanent water main easements and two (2)
temporary construction easements will be required.

ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST: Based on the construction plans
previously described, Pacheco Koch will prepare an "Engineer's Estimate of Probable
Construction Cost" of the proposed improvements for the project. This opinion will be based
on estimated construction quant[ties and assumed unit prices for each identified item. This
item shall not be construed as a guaranteed construction cost or maximum price.
BID PHASE SERVICES: Pacheco Koch will assist the City in public solicitation of bids from
contractors to complete the work included in the project. During the Bid Phase, Pacheco
Koch will be available to attend one (1) Pre-Bid Conference (if required) and to provide
coordination as required with prospective bidders. If requested after the bid opening, a
tabulation of the bids received will be provided to the City. A written recommendation
regarding award of the construction contract will be provided to the City after a review of the
apparent Iow bidder's qualifications and references.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES: Pacheco Koch will be available for project
coordination meetings during construction. Those meetings could include: pre-construction
conference, substantial completion walk-through, final completion walk-through and pedodic
visits to the construction site to monitor progress of the construction and to check for general
compliance with the construction documents. This shall not be construed as performing
continuous construction inspection. Pacheco Koch will also be available to review
submittals from the contractor that are required for this project. Those submittals could
include Contractor's Application for Partial Payment and Final Payment, shop drawings,
product data, mix design, etc. Submittals not required by the contract documents will not be
reviewed.
RE~.ORD DRA WINGS: Based on project construction records, maintained and provided by
the Contractor, Pacheco Koch will prepare final Record Drawings of the referenced project in
conformance with City requirements. These drawings will rely solely on the information
provided by the Contractor. Field verification of actual construction is not included in this
item. Reproducible copies of these drawings will be provided to the City upon completion.
REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES: Reimbursable expenses include direct costs such as
reproductions, delivery fees, cost to obtain deeds, and plats, etc. and will be charged at cost
times a multiplier of 1.10.
Based on our understanding of the scope of services, the following items are not included in this
proposal:
1. Geotechnical investigation
2. Environmental investigation
3. Wet[ands determination and permitting
4. Construction staking
