ATTACHMENT A — SCOPE OF SERVICES
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project requires professional services for the improvements to Butler Creek Trailhead
Park which consists of approximately a 36 acres or land. The objectives of this project will
be to develop and active area of the park in the eastern end of the property to include
shelter, restrooms, picnic space, playground, trail and multipurpose field. To service
these improvements the park will utilize three parcels or property on the opposite side of
Butler Creek as access parking with a pedestrian bridge across to the park. It is
anticipated that the pedestrian bridge will be use developed using prefabricated wood
truss designs and will span the flood zone with a no rise impact.
DESIGN OBJECTIVES:
The CONSULTANT proposes to provide the following scope of services for the fees listed under
the "Cost Proposal ".
A. Phase 1: Preliminary Design and Mapping
CONSULTANT proposes to use site surveys provided by the owner from property acquisition
process for this park. We will use these surveys and construction drawings and supplement them
using the same control network for the previous surveys. We will be correlating elevations to
FEMA benchmarking for flood evaluations. Field topographic, utility location and structure
locations will be performed on the eastern portion of the property within the area noted for active
improvements. Also stream sections will the captured in the area of the bridge crossing for
validation against the no rise crossing conditions.
After completion of the survey work the consultant will prepare preliminary drawings for the
proposed improvements and prepare a preliminary cost estimate for those items to submit to the
owner for review and recommendations. During this phase of the project we will meet with local
flood administrator to confirm proposed stream crossing conditions, meet with FEMA region reps
as necessary on bridge crossing, meet with USCOE representative on crossing and review existing
flood studies of the area. At this point we will attend a public meeting with the owner to show
the preliminary plans to the user group and facilitate discussions with them and the owner.
- Checking and tying into existing survey coordinates.
- Survey physical and topographical conditions at the existing project site.
- Locate visible above ground and subsurface utilities. We will attempt to locate available
information regarding underground utilities such as water, sewer, and stormwater with
the assistance of Augusta Utilities Department and AED.
17 OF 24 REVISION DATE: June 2006
4.0
At the conclusion of phase 1 the project budget will be evaluated and provided that a financially
feasible bridge crossing condition can be attained we will move forward with owners direction
into phase 2.
B. Phase 2: Construction Documents
Based on direction from the owner the final construction documents will be prepared. This will
require the development of plans, details and technical specifications for use in the bidding and
construction. During this phase of the project we will detail the plans for submittal to the county
planning department for permitting and coordinate any comments that arise from them. We
understand that the front end bid documents will be provided by procurement for the project and
we will be responsible for coordinating permits for construction, approved plans and
specifications for bidding purposes. This product will be delivered and reviewed with the owner
again at this point with updated probable construction estimates for the work detailed. We do
anticipate that during this process we will assist in contacting local contractors to make them
aware that the project is forthcoming for bidding. We will coordinate foundation designs for pre-
built wood bridge structures to be provided by supplier. We will also develop the construction
plans for a shelter and restroom building to located in the active area of the park. The playground
equipment for the park will be selected by the owner and the plans will show the area in which
they are to be installed.
- Prepare plans and detail sheets for the phase. The bridge and shelter designs will be taken
to approximately the 50% level. Upon approval of full program cost analysis, final funding
for completion of design, bidding and construction management will be approved.
- Show the necessary erosion control measures for the entire project and prepare erosion
control details.
