Messner Engineering Associates 150 E. 29th•Street, Suite 225 Loveland, CO 80538 RE: Proposal for Engineering Services' Related to Street Improvements for East Prospect Road Between South College Avenue and Remington Street, Fort Collins, Colorado AKA Taco Bell at Prospect and College Avenue Dear Mr. Messner: This letter is in response to your letter dated October 28, 1991,. transmitting a proposal for engineering services .on the above titled subject. I believe we have a misunderstanding of what I may have requested. I do not believe I requested a proposal. In fact the City cannot accept the proposal. The work you perform will be for the Developer of the Taco Bell site. The City commitment to pay for design and construction of the right turn lane on Prospect is to the Developer. The City's role with you, the engineer for the Developer, will be to review and approve the public improvement plans (Utility Plans). In addition the City will provide you with the criteria we have available for you to use. Since the design for transitions into and out of the widened portion of Prospect cannot be designed to standards, you will have to propose an alternative that provides a "best fit" that provides the safest compromise. The surveying for right of way descriptions that you have in your proposal, are not needed. The City surveyors have done preliminary work on right of way and will complete it based on your final approved design. I have attached a copy of your Project Scope, Critical Issues and Project Costs pages from your proposal and made these and other comments in the margins. As for coordination with the City for the design, all of your contacts should be made through Kerrie Ashbeck or me. Kerrie's and my role is to coordinate everything on the City side. There will be times when you will have to deal directly with other departments, but Kerrie or I must be kept informed on those activities. Our coordination role is for overview so one department's comments does not affect another department's needs. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort.Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6730 0 If you have any further questions please call me. xc: Kerrie Ashbeck Ted Shepard Matt Baker enc. Sincerely, Mike Herzig Development Engineering Manager PROJECT . B(C® ilk �¢- �� � G� %e ��e 1, jeep I phpd� b'dd�lx� P/uc The project that the City of Fort Collins propose unde consists of erg/ ld surveys and investigations; design development; constructio plan an contract document preparation and contract` administration services. The proposed engineering services are to be perform e or stree improvements'— to East Prospect Roa . The project location begins at East Prospect Road's intersection with South College Avenue and extends easterly along East Prospect Road to its intersection with Remington Street. The objectives for the project are considered to be: 1. Determine the extent of lane transitions required in order to provide for the smooth and safe flow of traffic to and from the major intersection located at South College Avenue. The proposed street section'is to accomodate: a continuation from South College Avenue of a Right -Turn Lane east -bound hru Lane east -bound; a center raised Median; a Left -Turn Lane to south -bound South College Avenue; Thru-Lanes west -bound; and a Right -Turn Lane to north -bound South College Avenue. 2. The design and construction of the improvements is to minimize grade changes in order to match the adjacent topography and to retain the drainage pattern for the area. 3. The proposed improvements are anticipated to require the acquision of additional street right-of-way in order to accomodate the proposed street section. The design shall identify the area(s) required for the additional right -of --way. —�� 4. The design is to consider that the construction may be phased and that pav gent alternatives may be required in order to accomodate this phasing. All engineering services are to be performed in accordance with the DESIGN CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR STREETS for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado (latest edition) and the ROADWAY DESIGN MANUAL for the State of Colorado, Department of ansportation (latest edition). A brief sequence of issues and stages in the design and construction process is.outlined as follows: establish a line of communication with each entity involved in order to obtain design input, �( determine review requirements and establish schedules. Establish lines of communication to Qd�►�t�9 coordinate design and construction process with the City of Fort Collins review team. Establish meeting schedules, design objectives and project goals. P� Assemble and review available survey data, record drawings, design criteria and technical reports to 0, assist in determining existing conditions and design parameters. �d * Perform schematic analysis to determine extent of turning lane transition length required. * Review available geotechnical information and determine drilling and testing requirements and establish schedule. * Collect and review data with regard to existing and proposed utilities.

L� ` PROJECT (COSTS The scope of services to be performed has been defined previously. It is understood that the scope may be altered or modified through the process of finalizing a "Professional Services Agreement." Therefore, final contractual cost amount is subject to negotiation based upon the final scope of services. The proposed costs are as follows: DESIGN PHASE 1. Control, Topographic and Utility Survey and Base Data Mapping 2. Geotechnical Investigation and Pavement Thickness Design 3. Collect Existing Data and Establish Lines of Communication 4. Preliminary Design and Cost Estimates 5. Design Meetings, Coordination and Scheduling for the Preliminary Design Phase and Presentation of Preliminary Design(s), Report and Cost Estimate 6.

Therefore, this item has not had a cost attributed. A cost will be submitted for acceptance after the topographic survey has been performed. At that time the extent of existing property monumentation in the vicinity of the project will be known. It will then be possible to determine the costs to be associated with establishing the existing right-of-way and defining the parcels to be acquired for additional right-of-way. *(b) The costs indicated are based upon performing the services indicated with all construction completed under a single contract, i.e., no phasing of the improvements.
