Below is a detailed Scope of Services consistent with the Request for Proposal and modified as of May 21, 2004 pursuant to the project scoping meeting of May 3, 2004. Project Requirements Drainage Study There are several considerations relative to drainage, including the required extension or reconstruction of the Spring Creek Bridge. Inter -west will evaluate the existing drainage master plans and modeling studies for the area prior to commencing on the site specific design. We will meet with city staff from the Stormwater Utility Department and the city's on -call consultant, Anderson Consulting Engineers, relative to the design flow constraints for the bridge and Spring Creek. In addition to the Spring Creek Bridge, we must evaluate the contributing flows from the ridge line of Timberline Road that will be directed north toward Spring Creek. A roadway storm sewer system will be required to convey flows generated from the roadway and median islands. This system must be located relative to the ultimate design while remaining practical for interim conditions. Local runoff that drains toward the roadway will be conveyed in a storm system to a discharge point along Spring Creek or coordinated with adjacent property systems toward it's historic discharge location. The existing irrigation systems under Timberline Road will be expanded to maintain flow to the downstream users. An analysis of the Spring Creek Bridge will include a hydraulic capacity analysis for the proposed extension of the bridge system. Grading and new channel work will be required on the existing west side of the bridge that may impact conveyance patterns and the hydraulic efficiency of the bridge system. A recent floodplain analysis indicated that while the bridge itself has adequate conveyance capacity, there was a slight overtopping of Timberline Road north of the railroad track crossing. As the bridge and channel are expanded to the west, these overtopping flows will be analyzed for any adverse impacts. A detailed Drainage Study will be provided in accordance with the City Stormwater Utility Department's design requirements. This study will anticipate both interim and ultimate design conditions. The Interwest team has prepared numerous drainage studies for the city and is familiar with the design criteria and policies of the department. The Study will include an analysis of historic and developed flows and all required hydrologic and hydraulic calculations for the inlets, pipe network and bridge/box culvert crossings. At this time, the city does not anticipate the need for revised flood plain modeling; however, if required, the Interwest team is experienced in using HEC-RAS and is capable of completing such models. Deliverable: • Drainage Study (50%, 90% and 100% Design submittals) Traffic Assessment This task includes the preparation of a traffic assessment in support of the geometric design of the corridor and its intersections. The traffic assessment will quantify existing traffic conditions based on average daily, A.M. and P.M. peak hour traffic count data contained on file at the City, as well as data contained in recently completed traffic studies for adjacent properties or collected for this study. Future traffic volume forecast along the Timberline Road corridor will be procured from the North Front Range regional travel model and used to determine geometric design and traffic control along the corridor. This task does not constitute a detailed traffic impact study as detailed in the LCUASS and city code. A detailed scope of work per phase and task is listed as follows: Traffic Assessment Services: 1. Assemble existing data related to the study. Review previous studies and traffic projections. 2. Obtain existing roadway and peak hour intersection volumes within the extents of the corridor study section. Collect existing A.M. and P.M. weekday peak hour traffic count data at the Timberline/Prospect and Timberline/Drake intersections and collect 24-hour roadway count data at two locations (Timberline north of Drake and south of Prospect). 3. To determine baseline conditions prior to roadway improvements, calculate existing levels of service at the study area intersections using the Highway Capacity Manual methodology. 4. Obtain long-term planning horizon (20-year) traffic forecasts from the City and the North Front Range MPO for the corridor. 5. Determine 20-year average (Year 2025) daily traffic volumes on the corridor and peak hour volumes at the key corridor intersections. 6. Determine auxiliary lane requirements along the corridor by conducting long-term horizon 20- year intersection capacity analyses, and incorporating national standards and guidelines for intersection design. 7. Analyze the adequacy and appropriateness of access locations along the corridor, as well as pedestrian, bicycle, transit connections or corridors, and any proposed roadway connections. 8. With the recommendation of any new signalized intersections on the corridor, prepare a signal progression analysis to exhibit optimum vehicular movement through the improved corridor section. 9. Prepare and submit copies of a technical memorandum summarizing the results of this traffic assessment. Deliverable: • Traffic Assessment Report Conceptual Engineering Design As part of this phase of design, we will provide additional conceptual design alternatives for the ultimate six lanes arterial and the intersection of Prospect and Timberline Roads based upon the traffic assessment and input from city staff. We will work closely with all adjacent property owners, especially those with impending construction that must be coordinated with the proposed improvement project. We will prepare a detailed topographic design survey of the corridor for use in design, construction and the preparation of right-of-way acquisition maps. Property boundary information will be from available records and the respective Title Commitments provided by the city for each affected parcel. This survey task includes the horizontal and vertical location of utility potholes which will be ordered by city staff. An environmental assessment will be prepared that recognizes and addresses potential conflicts with the existing natural resources along the project corridor. The Environmental Assessment report will provide an analysis of wetlands, wildlife, and habitat resources within and near the project area. As such the report will address all information requirements specified for an Ecological Characterization Study as required by The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. This will include, but not be limited to, documentation of current wildlife use and habitat conditions within the project area including an assessment of habitat features such as wetlands, riparian and native vegetation, aquatic habitat, wildlife corridors, raptor nesting habitat, waterfowl habitat, etc. The Environmental Assessment will also describe the direct and indirect impacts associated with the implementation of the project on wetlands, wildlife, and wildlife habitat. To the extent possible, the magnitude of impacts such as habitat loss will be quantified. The effects of displacement resulting from habitat loss, construction activities, or permanent alteration of habitats also will be addressed. The relative magnitude and duration of impacts will be identified as well. Long-term losses or changes in terrestrial, wetland, and aquatic habitat will be projected based on the duration of construction, the final configuration of the roadway, as well as the effectiveness of proposed restoration plans for short-term disturbance sites. Practical recommendations for revising the restoration plans will be provided, as necessary, to benefit or enhance wildlife and habitat resources. Where practicable, mitigation measures will be proposed to minimize impacts to important wildlife species and habitat. Where appropriate, mitigation recommendations will be formulated in consultation with City of Fort Collins Natural Resources Department staff. A significant portion of this phase will be dedicated to providing design alternatives to minimize the impact to existing natural resources and structures. These include the Jessup Farm House, existing cottonwood trees, railroad crossing, irrigation siphon, grain towers with cellular antennas, Spring Creek Bridge, high pressure gas lines, gas metering station, existing commercial access and parking areas, natural areas north of Prospect Road and all four legs of the Prospect and Timberline Roads intersection. While all of the above facilities or resources can not be entirely preserved with the ultimate design, the team will evaluate the potential and impact to saving each of these existing features. The use of reasonable roadway curvatures, retaining walls and modified standards will be explored with city staff. We will prepare all concept plans and presentation graphics for public forums. The project manager and appropriate team will be present at meetings and public forums to answer questions or make presentations. One open house, four neighborhood meetings, one landmark presentation meeting, one Planning and Zoning meeting, one transportation meeting, and one council study session are anticipated throughout the entire project with two (2) public meetings anticipated in the conceptual phase. Deliverables: • Conceptual design alternatives for horizontal and vertical alignments • Strip map of the ultimate six (6) lane arterial and four (4) lane roadway • Topographic design survey and base map • Environmental assessment • Presentation graphics for public forums • Agendas and minutes for bi-weekly project meetings 50% Submittal Design Upon completion of the Conceptual Design phase, we will provide 50 percent complete level plans and specifications for the ultimate six lane arterial section and interim four lane section. These plans will incorporate 50% level design details for the roadway, intersection, drainage structures, railroad crossing, landscaping, removals and utility modifications. Right-of-way and easement requirements associated with construction will be identified and a bridge assessment and phasing plan will be provided for the Spring Creek Bridge. We will perform conceptual bridge analyses and will provide geotechnical investigation and recommendation requirements to the city's consultant, CTL Thompson, as they pertain to the bridge. A Structure Selection Report will be prepared in conjunction with the Alignment and Bridge Construction Phasing Plan. We will evaluate standard post -tensioned or prestressed girder options, as well as the possibility of adding cantilevered sidewalks off the side of the existing bridge. A Bridge General Layout Drawing will be prepared and submitted. Bridge Construction Phasing is another critical component including a phasing concept that keeps adequate lanes of traffic open in each direction with turn lanes, as necessary, during construction. Landscaping concepts will be provided as follows: a. Prepare preliminary landscape plans including size and location of plant materials and representative plant list. b. Prepare conceptual irrigation plan including sleeve locations, mainline routing, and controller locations c. Prepare outline specifications for landscape materials d. Prepare memorandum of irrigation design including proposed water use requirements, tap/meter size, and equipment memo e. Prepare aesthetic landscape grading information to be included in Interwest grading plans. Special Improvement Districts - As part of the funding of this project, a Special Improvement District (SID) will be created. Terry Rodrigue has substantial experience in creating and maintaining SIDS. The Interwest team will provide the necessary engineer's report with all associated maps, legal descriptions, estimated costs, rights -of -way and easements, limits of City over sizing, collection, advertising, construction management costs, interim financing methods, narrative description of the improvements, and a provision allowing for additions or deletions of improvements. Typically SID Reports are a compilation of a variety of information worked on collaboratively by a team of professionals that include both City Staff and Specialized Consultants. This team will typically consist of City Staff from: • Finance Department, • Engineering Department, • Street Oversizing Department, and often • The City Manager's Office, or • The City Attorney's Office A number of specialiazed consultants will also be part of the team. Those typically include: • Special District Attorney • Bond Counsel • Special District Engineer • Appraiser As Engineer we will play a key role on this team and will be responsible for producing the engineer's report that documents a variety of information pertinent to the District. This is a collaborative effort however and a significant amount of communication and cooperation needs to occur among the team members. Although much of the information presented in the Engineer's report is statutory in nature, such as the statement of need, boundaries of the district and identification of improvements to be made, there are several critical elements that require particular attention to ensure a successful district. Those are: 1) Complete Cost Estimate of Hard and Soft Costs for the District Including:
