This proposal outlines the project background, existing conditio~, proposed scope and
compensation associated with the upstream improvements proposed for the Augusta-
Richmond County (ARC) Phase I Drainage Improvements Project - Vassar Drive.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Specific improvements associated with the Augusta-Richmond County (ARC) Phase I
Drainage Improvements Project are being installed near the intersection of Vassar Drive
and Oberlin Road in Augusta, Georgia. W.R. Toole Engineers designed the proposed
improvements during 2002-2003. The scope of the existing project was limited to
improving the Oberlin Road culvert and the existing ditch section downstream of Oberlin
Road to the culvert crossing at White Owl Forest Drive. Design characteristics of the
existing project include:
. The removal and replacement of an existing culvert along Oberlin Road near the
intersection of Vassar Drive.
. The installation of concrete ditch paving and energy dissipation structures
downstream of the culvert improvements to White Owl Forest Drive.
Wetlands exist within the bed and banks along the upper limits of the project area Gust
upstream of Oberlin Road). For this reason, the project is permitted via the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Nationwide 3 permit (Maintenance).
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The upper limits of the existing project are located adjacent to the property located at
3002 Vassar Drive (parcel 65-Tax Map 25.3). Stream bank erosion is occurring adjacent
to the residential structure located on the property. The area of concern exists
approximately 70-feet upstream (northwest) of the right-of-way of Oberlin Road. This
area was not included in the scope of the existing improvements project. During a July 2,
2002 meeting between Toole Engineers and ARC, Ms. Teresa Smith expressed concern
regarding the erosion that is occurring upstream of the existing project area. Toole
Engineers acknowledged the eroded conditions and recommended that ARC evaluate the
existing problematic area and determine if an expansion of the project scope is warranted.
The issue of the upstream erosion arose again during the field plan review for the Phase I
Drainage Project, which was held on January 16,2003. Toole was asked to evaluate the
concept of extending the proposed box culvert system upstream for a distance of
approximately 60-feet. Toole addressed the concept in a January 28, 2003 letter to Ms.
Teresa Smith, which outlined four design constraints associated with the concept.
Subsequently, Toole Engineers was instructed to make no further changes to the Vassar
Drive design plans.

PROPOSED~ROVEMENTS-PROJECTSCOPE
At the request of the 3002 Vassar Drive property owner, a meeting was held on Friday,
January 23, 2004 to discuss possible improvements for the eroded areas and to investigate
concerns relating to the structural integrity of the residence. Representatives of ARC,
Toole Engineers and Cranston, Robertson & Whitehurst (CRW) attended this meeting.
ARC proposed the construction of a retaining wall adjacent to the existing residential
structure. The proposed wall would be constructed along the toe of the existing stream
bank for a distance of approximately 90-feet upstream of the Oberlin Road culvert
improvements. Additional grading and stream bank stabilization are proposed for a
distance of l80-feet upstream of the Oberlin Road right-of-way.
Toole Engineers understands that the project scope will be limited to the following
improvements:
. The proposed gabion wall adjacent to the residential structure located at 3002
Vassar Drive (parcel 65-Tax Map 25.3). Originally, a reinforced concrete
retaining wall was proposed; however, subsequent discussions involved the
installation of gabions in lieu of a concrete wall. The proposed gabion wall would
tie into the Oberlin Road culvert improvements and extend approximately 90-feet
upstream.
. Proposed stream bank grading and stabilization for a distance of 180- feet
upstream of Oberlin Road. The stream banks will be stabilized using riprap,
permanent grassing, erosion control matting and other Best Management Practices
(BMPs) as necessary to assure a stable bank and minimize future erosion.
As previously noted, the existing project is permitted for wetland disturbances through a
USACOE Nationwide 3 permit. ARC has informed Toole that a Nationwide 13 permit
would be required for the improvements proposed above. Toole Engineers completed the
Nationwide 13 application and submitted it to ARC for execution on Tuesday, January
20, 2004. A revised permit was executed by ARC on Thursday, January 29, 2004 and
faxed to Mr. David Crosby at the USACOE, Savannah District.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND COMPENSATION
Based on the proposed project scope, W.R. Toole Engineers proposes to complete the
project with the following tasks:
SURVEYING SERVICES - No additional field surveying will required.
ENGINEERING SERVICES - Toole Engineers will prepare preliminary plan limits and
a typical section depicting proposed improvements for contractor estimating purposes.
Subsequent construction plans will be prepared showing the proposed wall and associated
details, the proposed stream bank grading and stabilization measures, specific site work
specifications and any incidental utility construction recommendations. The plans will be
. .
designed with standard erosion control measures as outlined in t1:ie ManUal for Erosion
and Sediment Control in Georgia, latest edition, and the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES).
Toole Engineers understands that the proposed improvements will be accomplished by
change order to the existing contract. Thus, no stormwater sampling, recording or
monitoring activities are included in this proposal. Contract documents, technical
specifications, construction inspection and construction staking are also not included in
this proposal. Should these services be required, we will provide you with a separate fee
proposal. .
No structural recommendations will be included in the construction documents relating to
the existing residential structure at 3002 Vassar Drive. Toole Engineers is of the
understanding that these recommendations will be made by other design professionals, as
required.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES - Toole Engineers has submitted the Nationwide 13
permit application to the USACOE as noted above. Should the USACOE require any
permitting other than the Nationwide 13 permit, Toole will provide these services
through a separate fee proposal.
Toole Engineers proposes to perform the professional services noted above for a lump
sum fee of $4,300.
DELIVERABLES
Toole will provide preliminary sketches for contractor estimating purposes. Following,
Toole will prepare construction plans based on the project scope noted above and submit
the following:
. Final Engineering Documents: Three (3) sets offmal construction documents, one
(1) construction cost estimate and one (1) compiled easement map.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Toole Engineers will initiate professional services for this project within two (2) days of
your formal notice to proceed. Toole estimates that final engineering documents can be
submitted to ARC within twelve (12) business days of the formal Notice to Proceed. The
time frame provided is an estimate based on the project scope noted in this proposal and
does not include ARC review time or delay associated with permitting or easement
acquisition. A definitive project schedule can be provided at project inception.
