R. TOOLE ENGINEERS, INC. 349 Greene Street Augusta, Georgia 30901 (706) 722-4114/ fax (706) 722-6219 www.wrtoole.com Re\"ised 2/ J 7/09 31 AED CSA - East Augusta Street & Drainage Improvements - Mar 09 AUGUSTA EAST ROADWAY & DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PROJECT SCOPE & ISSUES PROJECT OBJECTIVE The objective of the East Augusta Roadway and Drainage Improvement project is to provide infrastructure improvements that mitigate the flooding conditions in the East Augusta Region. W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc. (WRTE) understands that the frequent, severe flooding of the East Augusta Region creates threatening and hazardous conditions for residents of the area. Contributing factors to the flooding conditions include undersized roadside ditches, limited or no roadside curbing and the lack of an integrated storm sewer system. Due to the expansive project area and widespread flooding conditions, specific improvements cannot be identified without detailed survey and engineering analysis. Therefore, we understand that this project, and subsequently our scope of work, will be structured based on a stated construction cost limitation basis. Based on information provided in the RFQ and a May 17, 2007 meeting with the Augusta Engineering Department (AED), WRTE understands that the stated construction cost limitation is $5,000,000. We estimate that between one (1) and three (3) infrastructure improvement projects will be identified for construction within the stated construction cost limitation. These projects may range in construction cost from one (1) to five (5) million dollars each. The scope of work outlined in this document is commensurate with the construction cost limitation. PROJECT AREA The East Augusta Region subject to this project includes the area bound by East Boundary, Augusta Levee, Bobby Jones Expressway and Laney-Walker Boulevard. SCOPE OF WORK The following scope of work is proposed. Aerial Survey and Basemap Preparation ., Coordinate aerial survey and basemapping activities. The aerial survey will serve as the foundation of thc project basemap. The project basemap will be used for the design of the proposed improvements and as an exhibit during public meetings. Field surveying is also proposed in order to accurately depict areas obscured from the aerial survey and underground infrastructure specifics. such as culvert ~ 41 AED CSA - East Augusta Street & Drainage Improvements - Mar 09 > Design Erosion, Sedimentation & Pollution Control plans (included in Construction Plan set for each project). Coordinate the approval of the plans through local review agencies. ;.- Coordinate impacts to private and public utilities with respective owners. > Coordinatc and permit impacts to Gcorgia Department of Transportation right-of- way. Engineering Services - Bidding and Construction Oversight ';r Coordinate delivcry of all bid documents with City of Augusta Purchasing Department. > Attend pre-bid, pre-construction and bid opening meetings. > Provide as requested, periodic construction support during the construction phases of the projects identified in the PPS. Environmental Services ~ Coordinate Environmental Permitting actIVItIes. WRTE has included tasks to provide for permitting services for disturbances to wetlands and State waters. Specific tasks include wetland delineation, coordination of Corps of Engineers jurisdictional verification and individual permit application, coordination of State waters verification and stream buffer variance application. Final funding sources will determine the level of environmental analysis required. Detailed environmental analysis, such as an Environmental Assessment (EA) or National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A) document, is not included in this scope of work. Specific environmental requirements will be provided on a project specific basis under a separate proposal. Geotechnical Scrvices ,. Coordinate geotechnical evaluation. WRTE has included tasks to provide geotechnical services for the identification of sub-surface soil conditions. Specific tasks most likely will include soil borings to identify soil properties and ground water, subgrade evaluation for roadway construction and construction task consultation for deep excavations, soil stabilization, jacking or boring, etc. 51P AED CSA - East Augusta Street & DrainalZe Imorovements - Mar 09 Easement Maps ., WRTE will prepare easement maps for the acqUlsltlOn of permanent and temporary construction easement as necessary for impacted locations outside of the City of Augusta right-of-way or easement.

The PPS will identif): up to three (3) infrastructure improvement projects that may range in construction cost from one (1) to five (5) million dollars each. The total construction cost of the priority projects will not exceed the stated construction cost limitation of $5,000,000. Projects of less priority, which exceed the stated construction cost limitation, \vill 7lP AED CSA - East Augusta Street & DrainaRe Improvements - Mar 09 be identified as projects 'not in contract'. WRTE understands that projects not in contract will be designed and constructed under separate contracts. WRTE recommends that project priority be based on information gathered during public meetings, engineering analysis, project budget, construction phasing alternatives and consultation with the Augusta Engineering Department. The PPS will s~rvc as the foundation for planning and budgeting the infrastructure imp~ovemellts in the area. Once established, WRTE will facilitate additional public meetings to discuss the PPS and its impact to local residents.

Two major outfall locations were identified for routing stormwater. The first outfall involved the installation of a 72- inch cross-drain under GA SR56 utilizing jack and bore methods. Specific design considerations were made to avoid existing utilities and secure permitting through GADOT. The second outfall involved the installation of triple box culverts under GA Hwy 56, which required the preparation and design of a major detour plan for traffic control of 6 lanes during construction. Evaluation of field construction alternatives allowed for jack and bore of box culverts with minimum cover for GA SR56. Special design considerations included the improvements to outfall channels and US COE permitting for wetlands disturbance and restoration. Innovative drainage systems were designed to provide positive gravity drainage with minimal surface ponding in areas prone to frequent flooding. Special design considerations were incorporated in the proposed catch basin geometry utilized along longitudinal stormwater mains to accommodate future widening of Louisville Road. City of Aueusta - Inner City Basin Phase II Project Owner: Augusta-Richmond County Board of Commission Construction Cost: $899,800.00 WRTE Project Manager: Mr. Erik Hammarlund, PE Project Description: Assess and evaluate existing combined sewer overflow servicing the downtown Augusta area. Prepare and evaluate alternative designs for separating sanitary sewer flow from storm water runoff in accordance with Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division requirements. Evaluation of existing facilities includes the assessment of existing storm and sanitary sewer structures dating back to the late 1800's. Infrastructure evaluation also included improvements to existing stormwater runoff capacity, including but not limited to, new storm sewer systems, runoff collection structures, and other appurtenances. This new stormwater collection and conveyance system was designed to provide capacity a 25-year return frequency storm. Turknett Sprines Phases 1. 2 & 3 Project Owner: Augusta-Richmond County Board of Commissioners Construction Cost: $4,100,000.00 WRTE Project Manager: Mr. Erik Hammarlund, PE Project Description: Investigate and assess an urban drainage basin developed in the early 1890's utilizing combined sewer overflows. Identify basin limits and requirements of the storm and sanitary sewerage systems to handle residential and commercial sanitary sewerage and stormwater runoff. Assess, evaluate, and design rehabilitative measures to improve the urbanized system. Separate the sanitary sewer and stormwater systems in accordance with the EP A requirements. Ultimately project involved the coordination of three separate contracts and tie-ins to insure complete separation with three prime contractors. 51 e AED CSA - East Augusta Street & Dr:tin:tpp Imnrnvpmpnt~ - M"r nQ a..-s= s. -E -.
