SCOPE OF SERVICES
4842- 9835- 2788v1
MDOLINGER104706083 _ 1 _
January 15, 2014
SCOPE OF WORK
HydroScience has developed the following scope of work based on the requirements outlined in
the RFP, our understanding of the project, and further information provided by the City..
TASK 1 — PROJECT DESIGN MANAGEMENT
1.1 Facilitate progress meetings. HydroScience will attend and facilitate up to four progress
meetings with City staff. It is expected that a kickoff meeting will be held along with
meetings following the 30% submittal, 90% submittal, and one additional as- needed
progress meeting. We typically collaborate our work closely with our clients, and will work
with the City to identify the most appropriate time(s) to meet to discuss the project.
HydroScience will work with City staff to schedule the meeting, prepare the agenda, and
provide meeting minutes.
1.2 Prepare and maintain a project design schedule. HydroScience will prepare a project
design schedule that presents the expected progress of the project tasks in a Gantt Chart
format. The schedule will be updated monthly and, along with issuing monthly progress
reports, recommendations will be made for corrective action to address unanticipated delays
to keep the project design schedule on track.
1.3 Prepare monthly progress reports and invoices. HydroScience will prepare monthly
progress reports outlining the team's progress on the project tasks. These reports will
include summaries of progress meetings and recommendations for corrective actions to
address any unanticipated delays to help maintain the project schedule. These reports will
correlate with the monthly invoices that will be prepared using the City's billing format.
Deliverables:
• Meeting agendas and minutes in PDF formats
• Project design schedule. One hard copy and one PDF, with updates as needed
• Monthly progress report and invoice. One hard copy and PDF
TASK 2 — PRELIMINARY DESIGN
2.1 Preliminary Investigation. A site investigation will be conducted to identify and verify
existing utilities along the First Street project alignment. Utility information will be identified,
as available, for all underground utilities including, but not limited to, sanitary sewer, storm
drainage, potable water, power, gas, and communication facilities; as well as any other
known underground utilities that may affect the design and /or construction of the project. It
is assumed that the City will provide as -built drawings for City -owned utilities along the
pipeline alignments. HydroScience has included up to two potholes to be performed by
Exam Technologies Corporation should there be utility conflicts or the site conditions
warrants additional investigation.
2.2 Topographic Survey. O'Dell Engineering will provide topographic surveying. The
topographic survey will be at 50 -foot interval (cross- sections) of First Street between
Monterey Street to Wren Avenue (1.5 +/- miles). Typical cross- sections will be from sidewalk
or edge of pavement to sidewalk or edge of pavement on street noted above. Topography
shall generally include visible USA markings, structures, utility vaults, manholes, inlets,
January 15, 2014
standpipes, outfalls, valve covers, and other surface - visible features. Invert elevations of
gravity storm drains and sewers shall be obtained at manholes and accessible structures.
O'Dell Engineering will also coordinate with Caltrans for field survey within State right of way
and obtain available utility records and show record information on final deliverable.
Surveying will conform to horizontal and vertical coordinate systems compatible with existing
City benchmarks and monuments. Plan view contours will be 1 -foot intervals.
2.3 Geotechnical: Pacific Geotechnical Engineering (Pacific Geotech) will provide geotechnical
services. The objective of this geotechnical investigation is to explore subsurface conditions
along the proposed pipeline alignments and to provide geotechnical recommendations for
design and construction of the pipelines. Pacific Geotech will gather, analyze, and provide
subsurface data to serve as the basis for geotechnical engineering recommendations for
design and construction.
A significant aspect of the exploration will include borings and percolation testing. Initial
recommendations are to drill nine borings along First Street. The borings will be advanced
using a truck - mounted drilling rig equipped with hollow stem augers. Soil sampling and
penetration testing will be performed at 5 -foot intervals. Recovered soil samples will be
transported to Pacific Geotech's laboratory for analysis. Pacific Geotech will provide traffic
control during their field exploration.
The borings will be backfilled with cement grout as required by Santa Clara Valley Water
District. Excess soil cuttings will be placed in 55- gallon drums and the drums will be moved
to a temporary storage area. Samples will be collected from the soil cuttings for testing of
CAM 17 metals, hydrocarbons, VOC (8260B), and pesticides.
Pacific Geotech will perform laboratory testing on selected soil samples obtained from the
borings to evaluate pertinent engineering properties. We anticipate the laboratory testing
program will include the following tests: moisture content, dry density, Atterberg Limits, grain
size analysis, and percent passing a No. 200 sieve. The actual number and type of
laboratory tests will depend on the type and condition of the samples collected.
The results of the field investigation and analysis will be summarized in a geotechnical
report, which will provide recommendations for earthwork, including excavation, shoring and
dewatering (if necessary), material for engineered fill, and compaction of backfill, as
appropriate
2.4 Preliminary Design (30% Design Submittal). HydroScience will prepare preliminary
design drawings to the 30°% level. Preliminary design will include design drawings, a list of
specifications, and the engineer's opinion of probable cost, and will be detailed enough that
the City will know how HydroScience will address all the major issues. This level of detail is
intended to facilitate City comment, facilitate project decisions, expedite the remaining work,
and minimize any rework. A 30% design review workshop will be held to facilitate review by
the City. HydroScience will track all comments and how each comment was addressed in a
decision log that HydroScience maintains. City comments on this submittal will be
incorporated into the 90% design submittal.
Deliverables:
• Preliminary Engineer's opinion of probable cost. Two hard copies and electronic PDF
version
• Topographic survey (electronic format to be incorporated into preliminary design)
January 15, 2014
• Geotechnical Investigation (draft and final in PDF format)
• Preliminary Design (Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3). Two hardcopies and electronic PDF
version of half -size plans and list of specifications for each phase
TASK 3 — PERMITTING / CEQA SUPPORT
3.1 CEQA Documentation. It is assumed the project will be "Categorically Exempt" from
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), based on HydroScience's project understand-
ing and the CEQA requirements. HydroScience will prepare a memorandum for City
acceptance which satisfies the requirement for CEQA documentation and file it with the
County of Santa Clara on behalf of the City.
Should the City, as lead agency, require additional environmental review, HydroScience can
provide CEQA documentation services using HydroScience's environmental subconsultant,
Analytical Environmental Services (AES). This would be scoped as part of a separate
authorization.
3.2 Caltrans Encroachment Permit. HydroScience will prepare the Caltrans Standard
Encroachment Permit Application and attach the necessary supporting design
documentation, which may include plans, location map, and environmental documentation
(from Task 3.1). HydroScience intends to submit the 90% submittal to Caltrans with the
Encroachment Permit Application. Should the City desire to accelerate the design,
HydroScience could instead submit a 60% level design to Caltrans.
The City will be responsible for all permit fees, as well as providing any specific
authorizations, insurance documentation, etc., as applicable, for the purpose of the Permit
Application.
Deliverables
• CEQA Memorandum. One hardcopy and electronic PDF version
• Caltrans Standard Permit Application including design and environmental documentation.
TASK 4 — DETAILED DESIGN
Based on the preliminary design submittal and comments on that submittal, HydroScience will
take the level of completion to the 90 %, followed by a bid -ready submittal. HydroScience is
recommending advancing directly from the preliminary design to the 90% design level due to
the extra detail HydroScience typically includes in our preliminary designs, and our intent to
meet the project schedule outlined in the RFP.
The 90% submittal will be completed to a level suitable for submittal to Caltrans, and will
essentially be a complete design subject to comments from the City and Caltrans. All project
elements will be completed to comply with the Caltrans requirements for encroachment permit
submittal. Comments on the 90% submittal from the City and Caltrans will be incorporated into
the bid set submittal.
The Bid Set submittal will incorporate any comments on the 90% submittal, and will contain a
complete and biddable set of plans, specifications, and the engineer's opinion of probable cost..
January 15, 2014
The final bid set submittal will be coordinated with the appropriate City documentation including
the City's front end documents (which will be coordinated with City Project Administration and
Purchasing), standard provisions, and special provisions.
The Bid Set will be structured as one bid set for the First Street project.
Deliverables:
• 90% submittal: Electronic PDF of the drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. 10 hard
copies of the drawings in 11 X 17 format will be submitted, along with 10 hard copies of the
specifications and engineer's opinion of probable cost
• Bid Set submittal: Electronic PDF of the drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. 10
hard copies of the drawings in 11 X 17 format will be submitted, along with 10 hard copies of
the specifications and engineer's opinion of probable cost
TASK 5 — BIDDING SERVICES
Bidding services will include responding to questions posed by the bidders and preparing
clarifications and addenda as required. HydroScience will attend the pre -bid meeting with the
City and will provide technical support as needed to answer any technical questions related to
the design.
Deliverables
• Clarifications and Addenda as necessary. Electronic PDF version distributed to all
participants
• Responses to questions posed by bidders. Electronic PDF version distributed to all
participants
TASK 6 — CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
The HydroScience team will review all technical submittals from the contractor in sufficient detail
to determine whether or not the submitted item conforms with the intent of the plans and
specifications. HydroScience will respond to up to ten requests for information (RFIs) or
requests for clarification (RFCs) throughout construction as directed by the City. All RFI, RFC,
and submittal reviews will be properly coordinated with the City's designated Construction
Manager and /or Project Inspector.
Once the project construction is complete, HydroScience will prepare record drawings to reflect
the as -built condition of the project. Red -line drawings from the contractor and /or City Inspector
will be used as the basis for preparing the as- built drawings.
Deliverables
• RFIs and RFCs (up to ten, total). Electronic PDF version distributed to the City and
contractor
• Technical Submittal Responses. Electronic PDF version distributed to the City and
contractor
• Record Drawings. One hard copy of full -size (24" x 36'9 record drawings and electronic
AutoCAD and PDF versions
January 15, 2014
ASSUMPTIONS:
• Up to two potholes of existing utilities is included as part of Task 2.1.
• It is assumed that the spoils from the geotechnical investigation are not hazardous.
Additional costs may apply for disposal of the drums containing hazardous materials.
• A CDPH permit amendment is not anticipated. However, HydroScience will coordinate with
CDPH if mitigations are required to comply with the latest adopted CDPH Waterworks
Standards. No other permits are anticipated.
• If trenchless methods of construction are recommended, additional effort may be required
for the preliminary design and geotechnical investigation.
• It is assumed that the replacement main on First Street will be constructed within the paved
area, and that a PUE exists over the roadway.
• The First Street water line will be designed all at once and one bid set will be prepared to
allow the City to bid the entire project in one phase.
• The City shall be responsible for any external public agency fees, including those, but not
limited to the State of California Public Clearinghouse and Caltrans.
