<br />Submitted by Bolton & Menk, Inc. Little Canada Road Improvements | City of Little Canada 4 <br />Scope of Work <br />Bolton and Menk will complete the following scope of <br />work: <br />Task 1 – Project Management <br />Bolton & Menk will provide project management staff <br />with sufficient availability to oversee this project. The role <br />of project management staff is to ensure the delivery of <br />Bolton & Menk services occurs at the pace necessary to <br />meet the project’s objectives, schedule, and budget. For <br />this project we have assumed: <br />• Monthly City and County Staff PMT Meetings (20) <br />• Agency Stakeholder Coordination Meetings (6) <br />o MnDOT (2) <br />o St. Paul Regional Water Services (2) <br />o Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed <br />District (2) <br />• Routine Project Management & Coordination <br />Bolton & Menk project managers are working managers <br />that actively participate in the development of all project <br />deliverables. As such, Project Manager hours have been <br />allotted in all subsequent tasks within this Proposal to <br />ensure that the Project Manager is involved in day-to-day <br />delivery of the project. <br />Task 2 – Topographic Field Survey <br />Bolton & Menk will complete a topographic survey of the <br />existing conditions for the existing roadway corridor, <br />future roadway corridor, and future/likely stormwater <br />management areas. Horizontal control will be established <br />based on Ramsey County Coordinates. Vertical Control <br />will be established based on available MnDOT <br />monuments. <br />The survey will include all visible features such as, but not <br />limited to, pavements, curb lines, manholes, catch basins, <br />valves, sidewalks, turf areas, driveways, power poles, <br />delineated wetlands, trees greater than 4” in diameter, <br />gardens, mailboxes, retaining walls, etc. <br />All underground utility information will be located and <br />described per available as-builts, field markings from a <br />Gopher One Call coordinated by Bolton & Menk, and <br />private utility map information. Collection of pipe sizes <br />and invert elevations within structures will be completed <br />by Bolton & Menk. We have included time to perform <br />structure condition assessments to determine possible <br />structure rehabilitations, and ring/casting upgrades. <br />Definition of property boundaries and existing easements <br />will be needed along the project length due to the <br />anticipated land acquisition for the project. We also have <br />20 title commitments budgeted under a separate task so <br />that the project team fully understands existing ownership <br />and encumbrances on the properties that we are <br />interacting with. Property corners throughout the project <br />corridor will also be located where able and used to <br />establish property boundaries coupled with our property <br />research efforts. <br />Task 3 – Private Utility Coordination <br />GPS Locates and Mapping <br />Bolton & Menk will work with private utility owners to <br />have facilities located and painted in the field. After <br />utilities have been located, GPS coordinates will be taken <br />on all utilities. A drone flight with high resolution aerial <br />photography may also be used to capture private utility <br />marks and would be paired with other drone photography <br />needs to save on mobilization time. Locations of <br />underground utilities will be vital for enhanced private <br />utility coordination. In some cases, potholing may be <br />required in order to determine the elevation of certain <br />critical utilities (communication ducts, St. Paul Regional <br />Water conduits, etc.). If needed, Bolton & Menk staff will <br />work with the City to hire a hydrovac contractor to <br />perform the necessary potholes while providing oversight <br />and surveying to document the x-y-z coordinates of the <br />utility. <br />Meetings and Correspondence <br />The road realignment and roundabout construction will <br />have a high likelihood of impacting underground utilities. <br />As such, the proposed scope of work includes a higher <br />level of private utility coordination and several meetings <br />throughout the duration of preliminary and final design. <br />Routine meetings will help inform private utility owners so <br />that they have ample time to budget for and perform any <br />necessary adjustments, relocations, or new installations. <br />Task 4 – Traffic Analysis & Recommendations <br />Traffic Counts <br />Traffic counts are necessary for the traffic analysis of the <br />Little Canada Road corridor as it intersects with
