SUBJECT:
Bungalow Road Widening & Reconstruction Project
TE Proposal No. P99-074
Dear Mr, Murphy:
W. R, Toole Engineers, Inc, appreciates the opportunity to provide you with a design proposal for
the widening and improvement of Bungalow Road from U.S. Highway 25 (Peach Orchard Road)
to Richmond Hill Roa9 in Richmond County, Georgia. Based on our meetings and conversations
with you, site reconnaissance, and preliminary project evaluation, we are familiar with the work
required. The following proposal briefly outlines our understanding of the project concept,
proposes a scope of work for accomplishing project objectives, and establishes compensation and
design schedules for completion of project tasks,
PROJECT CONCEPT
Bungalow Road is a typical two-lane rural roadway extending approximately 3,900 linear feet
from U.S. Highway 25 to Richmond Hill Road, The existing road cross-section has two 10,5 foot
lanes, a minimal shoulder ranging from I Y, to 3 feet, and longitudinal ditches with culverts located
under residential drives, Although the roadway provides street frontage to more than 50
residential houses as well as several side streets accessing larger residential areas, it also serves as
a major thoroughfare from Peach Orchard Road (U.S. Highway 25) to Deans Bridge Road (US,
Highway #1). The average daily traffic, as measured in August 1998, is approximately 3,827,
Bungalow Road also ~erves as the access point for Bungalow Road Elementary School, a
Richmond County Board of Education facility, sited on a 12 acre tract near the center of the
project length,
Bungalow Road is geographically sited along a ridge line parallel to near by Rocky Creek,
Although Bungalow Road is not located in the flood plain of Rocky Creek, extremely flat grades
were noted throughout the length of the project. As a result, Toole Engineers anticipates that some
minor, localized floodmg ma}' occur within the project limits, Currently, roadside longitudinal
ditches provide stormwater conveyance from the roadway and adjacent properties in an easterly
direction towards Peach Orchard Road, The existing storm sewer system of Peach Orchard Road
(State Route 121/2 I) serves as the fmal collection point for the stormwater runoff, routing it to
near by Rocky Creek.
Finally, the Bungalow Road intersection with U.S. Highway 25 is characterized by a two-lane
cross-section with a low concrete medium separating the lanes. The east bound lane(left and right
turn onto U.S. Highway 25) is a slightly wider asphalt surface than the remaining length of the
road. Field reconnaissance indicates that cars attempt to hug the curb line to make a right turn
while other cars set in cue for left turn at the traffic signal.
I
I
W R, Toole Engineers, [nc,
Proposal P99-074 (Bungalow Road)
June J 0, J 999
Page 2 of 4
I
The proposed project concept provides' for the widening of Bungalow Road to a typical urban two-lane cross-section
including curb and gutter and an integrated storm sewer system. The proposed cross-section would provide for two .
13 foot lanes and 30 inch concrete curb and gutter on each side of the road. Existing longitudinal ditches and
driveway culverts will be replaced by a storm sewer system with appropriate catch basins. A left turn lane will be
installed in front of Bungalow Road Elementary School for east bound traffic to accommodate buses during school
mornings. The Richmond County Board of Education will be contacted to discuss whether or not a right-turn lane
for westbound traffic on Bungalow Road is necessary to accommodate school traffic. Final design parameters for
this lane will be coordinated with Mr. Marvin Powell of the Richmond County Board of Education.
I
I
I
The intersection at Peach Orchard Road will also be improved to allow appropriate left turn and right turn lanes for
access onto Peach Orchard Road. Signalization improvements will be coordinated with the Augusta-Richmond
County Traffic Engineering Department. Additionally, minor reconfiguration of the alignment of Bungalow Road at
the intersection with Richmond Hill Road will be investigated to establish a 90-degree centerline intersection,
Additional turn lanes at this intersection are not anticipated.
I
I
Stormwater management will be accomplished by a system of catch basins and longitudinal piping system. Toole
Engineers will investigate the feasibility of extending an off-site stormwater outfall from Bungalow Road to Rocky
Creek or the limits of the old Lumbard pond, We anticipate this outfall to be in the vicinity of the existing
commercial tracts that are located on the northwest comer of the intersection of Bungalow Road and Peach Orchard
Road, The off-site storm sewer piping would extend north approximately 1,000 linear feet.
I
The minimum setbacks of existing residential structures are a major design consideration impacting the acquisition
of additional right-of-way to accommodate the proposed project. The existing 50 foot right-of-way will be closely
evaluated to determine minimal right-of-way requirements in order to accommodate the proposed project
improvements, Toole Engineers anticipates that yard drains will be required along much of the proposed project
route in order to prevent ponding on adjacent properties due to the new curb and gutter construction, Toole
Engineers also anticipates placement of sidewalks on both sides of the road throughout the project length to
accommodate pedestrian traffic and access to Bungalow Road Elementary School.
I
I
Finally, Toole Engineers anticipates that utility relocation will be required throughout the project. This primarily
reflects the need to accommodate overhead power and telephone lines located near the limits of the existing right-of-
way, Toole Engineers will also investigate the existing water main regarding age 'and materials of construction to
determine whether or not new water mains should be installed.
CPre~iptiiiaryestimates of probable construction costs for the proposed improvements range frorp~
$ r;ooo,OOO, T.h~se construction costs do not include water main upgrades or verticaVlateral of~sets..to----'
accomm~ storm sewer design, Additionally, no provisions are included for property restoration costs associated
with proposed construction and right-of-way acquisition,
I
I
I
SCOPE OF WORK
I
W, R, Toole Engineers' proposed scope of work will include field surveying and data gathering, preparation ofa
concept report, preliminary design plans, a hydrologic and hydraulic study and report, preparation of fmal
construction plans, and right-of-way/easement acquisition maps for the project. A field run topographic survey and
utility location will initiate project activities. This information will be electronically gathered using the Caice
program in accordance with Georgia Department of Transportation requirementS, Due to the physical location of
residential structures in close proximity to the existing right-of-way, field surveys will be accomplished from face of
building to face of building, Survey and topographic information will also be gathered for off-site storm sewer
routes once preliminary base maps are established and appropriate discharge areas identified. All utilities will be
located utilizing the utility locate design services and coordinated through the Pre-Construction Engineer's office,

I
Following completion of the project base map, a concept design and concept report will be prepared for review by
the Augusta-Richmond County Public Works Department. This will mark the first major milestone in completing
project design. Approval of the concept report and design will establish the parameters of the preliminary and fmal
design plans. The concept report will focus on specific design issues including but not limited to:
I
~ Limited right-of-way availability
~ Stormwater management and outfall
~ Lane configuration within the limits of the school zone
~ Utility relocations
~ Multi-lane tie-in at Peach Orchard Road, and
~ General roadway tie-in for intersecting side streets
I
I
Based on the concept report and changes made thereto, preliminary design plans will be developed. The preliminary
design plans will approximate 70% of construction documents. These documents will include an estimated opinion
of probable construction costs, preliminary construction drawings, and notation of any design exceptions within the
project. Preliminary design documents will also include the hydrology and hydraulic report assessing appropriate
stormwater outfalls from the project area.
I
Based on a preliminary field plan review, fmal construction documents will be prepared. These documents will be
prepare din accordance with Georgia Department of Transportation format including quantity takeoffs, typical cross-
sections, construction plans and prof11es, special cross-sections, and project details,
I
I
Right-of-way and easement acquisition maps will be developed based on fmal construction documents, These maps
will be prepared in 11 x 17 format highlighting existing right-of-way, required right-of-way, slope easements,
temporary construction easements, and other right-of-way acquisition requirements.
I
All plans, meetings, and reports will be coordinate through the Augusta-Richmond County Pre-Construction
Engineer, Ms, Teresa Smith, Again, a proposed time line for each element of design activity will be prepared
highlighting major project milestones and necessary meetings and field review. Toole Engineers will coordinate
these activities with Ms. Smith and her representative.
I
COMPENSATION SCHEDULE
I
The following compensation schedule is based on anticipated man-hours to complete the project tasks as outlined in
the Scope of Services. Toole Engineers anticipates that field surveying services will require approximately four (4)
weeks to complete. Coordination with the Underground Utility Design Locate services will depend on time required
for each individual utility to mark facilities in the field. These markings will be field located and incorporated into
the base map. Preparation of the base map will require approximately four (4) weeks following completion offield
survey. The total cost for surveying and base mapping for the project is anticipated at $19,000.
I
I
Engineering services are based on preparation of the concept report, preliminary plans, hydrologic and hydraulic
study and report, and fmal construction plans. These services will be provided for $66,000. Services will also
include the preparation of easement and right-of-way acquisition plats (estimated 60 parcels) as required to develop
right-of-way plans.
I
DESIGN SCHEDULE
I
Toole Engineers will initiate field services within two (2) weeks of authorization to proceed. As previously noted,
field surveying services are anticipated to require four (4) weeks. Additional time required to locate utilities as
marked by the Utility Design Locate services will vary depending on the actual time required to mark utilities.
Preparation of base maps and completiop of surVeying activities with calculations and integration of field data will
require approximately four (4) weeks. A concept will be prepared during this time period for review by the
Augusta-Richmond County Public Works Department. Once the concept report is approved, Toole Engineers
estimates sixteen (16) weeks to complete preliminary design plans. These plans will represent approximately 70%

completion of the project. A preliminary field plan review will be scheduled following completion of preliminary
plans. Toole Engineers will also allow two (2) weeks of review time by Augusta-Richmond County Public Works
personnel.
Once preliminary design plans are reviewed and approved by Augusta-Richmond County, final construction plans
will be prepared. Toole Engineers anticipates ten (10) weeks to complete fmal plans including right-of-ways. All
plans, quantity takeoffs, and any construction exception information will be forwarded to Augusta-Richmond
County Public Works Department for review and use,

Sanitary Sewer Addition
TE Proposal No. P99-074, Addendum #1
Dear Teresa,
As per you request, W, R. Toole Engineers, Inc, has calculated a construction
cost and revised our professional fees for the inclusion of a new sanitary
sewer in conjunction with the Bungalow Road Improvements Project. As
per our conversation on Friday, September 17, 1999 the existing sanitary
sewer is clay and the integrity of that pipe is questionable, A field inspection
of the pipe is scheduled within the next few weeks at which time we will
visually verify the condition of the pipe, However, until that inspection is
performed, we are anticipating removal and replacement of the sewer.
Below is an opinion of probable construction cost for the addition of the
sanitary sewer replacement.
Description ' Quantity Units U nit Cost Total Cost
Sanitary Sewer Manholes 15 EA $1,200,00 . $18,000,00
