Re: Rae's Creek Study & Bridge at Forest Hills
Racquet Club
Our File No. 99-194.01
Dear Mr. Goins:
We appreciate your consideration of our firm to perform a hydrology and hydraulic analysis
of Rae's Creek from Walton Way to Jackson Road and to design the Rae's Creek Bridge at Forest
Hills Racquet Club. We are pleased to offer this proposal for the study, design and construction
phases of the project. The following presents what we believe to be the scope of work required to
complete the necessary elements of the study, design and construction and the engineering fee for
completing such work.
PROBLEM AND PURPOSE
There are currently three known areas of concern on Rae's Creek between Walton Way and
Jackson Road. These are the questionable capacity of the Lake Awnond Spillway at Walton Way,
the periodic flooding in West Lake Forest Drive and the recurring flooding in Forest Hills Racquet
Club. It is believed that the flooding in West Lake Fore~t Drive is a by product of the questionable
spillway capacity at Walton Way and the flooding in Forest Hills Racquet Club is believed to be the
result of an undersized culvert at Court Side Drive.
The purpose of the hydrologylhydraulic study will be to model the section of Rae's Creek.
from Walton Way up to Jackson Road in order to determine the effect of the various components .
within this section on the three stated problem areas. Furthermore, it is our intent to make
recommendations for alleviating the problems for the three areas in question and also to design a .
new bridge to replace the culvert crossing at Court Side Drive in Forest Hills Racquet Club.

SCOPE OF WORK
Hydrolo~fHydraulic Analysis:
We propose to compile our existing data on this section of Rae's Creek and then -to
supplement this data with approximately six additional field run cross-sections and elevations in
order to obtain current topographical data on the creek and road crossings within the specified
section of Rae's Creek. With this data, we will update the existing TR-20 Model of Rae's Creek
in order to determine the design flows to be utilized in the hydraulic analysis of the existing and
proposed structures. We do not anticipate having to coordinate with or submit to federal or state
regulatory agencies.
Once the new design flows have been generated, we will create a base model in the river
analysis modeling software, HEC-RAS, for the purpose of determining the existing base flood
elevations. After the base model has been developed, we will modify it to reflect various proposed
improvements to the channel, the road crossing at Court Side Drive and the spillway at Walton Way.
Based on the combinations of possible improvements, we will make recommendations for the
construction of specific channel and structure improvements within the limits of the study.
Construction Documents
The development and implementation of construction docwnents for the new bridge at Court
Side Drive will be accomplished in two phases as described below:
Brid!!e Desi~n Phase:
The design phase will begin with the determination of the necessary design criteria for the
bridge. We propose to meet with the City of Augusta officials to determine the minimum design
requirements for storm return frequency, bridge geometry and other factors, in consultation with you
and the principal property owners, Forest Hill Racquet Club and A TC Development Corporation.
Based on the results of the hydrologylhydraulic study and the design criteria determination,
we will accomplish the hydraulic analysis necessary to proportion the required size of the bridge or'
culvert that will pass the required flows. We will utilize the cross-sections from the field survey and .
the HEC-RAS computer model to the extent that it is applicable. We will select a preferred culvert .
or bridge, in consultation with you. considering such factors as hydraulic efficiency, constructability, I
maintenance of traffic, and utility relocations, and generalized costs. We will prepare a conceptual
drawing of the selected plan and will meet with you and the property owners to explain the concept. I

We recommend that two borings be made at the bridge abutment locations to determine the
depth and competency of rock. The cost of this work is not included herein: however, we do
propose to coordinate all work required by the geotechnical testing firm that you choose to use.
Upon your approval of the conceptual drawing, we will begin the Preliminary Plans for the
project. The Preliminary Plans will include the plan. profile, and details required to construct the
bridge. The plans will be furnished on 24 inch by 36 inch drawings in AutoCAD Release 14 format.
The bridge design will be in accordance with the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway
Bridges. 1996. These plans, which will be 90 percent complete, will be submitted to the City of
Augusta for review and approval. After receiving the Preliminary Plans with comments from the
City of Augusta, we will proceed to the Final Construction Plans. The Final Construction Plans will
include furnishing the necessary construction docwnents to construct the bridge and incorporation
of any review comments by you or the City of Augusta.
Brid~e Construction Phase
The Construction Phase of the project will include the bidding and negotiation stage and the
construction stage of the project. The bidding and negotiation stage will include providing a
construction cost estimate, preparing bid docwnents and the project advertisement, responding to
contractor questions, attending a pre-bid meeting, attending the bid opening and recommending
award to the contractor. Following the award of the project, we will provide the necessary
construction phase services to include review of shop drawings, responding to contractor questions,
providing periodic site observations and reports and review the contractor's periodic pay estimates
for the work completed to date.
