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 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.
