Mr. Michael Grochala March 26, 2018 Page 3 S:\Community Development\Projects\Capital Improvement Projects\2018 CRJ Hodgson Trunk Utility Improvements\Staff Reports\20180326 CC\4. 20180205 WS while the boring on Woodridge Lane will be drilled to a depth of about 15 feet. In the penetration test borings, we will sample soils at 2 ½ foot intervals to the borings termination depth. If unsuitable soils (organic soils, etc…) are encountered at the proposed boring termination depth(s), it may be necessary to extend the borings into more competent materials. This will allow us to better evaluate potential construction issues. An additional charge of $20 per lineal foot will be assessed for borings extended beyond their proposed termination depths. If the added work requires an additional mobilization to the site it will be charged at $300 per day. 3. Prepare Permits, Specifications, and Bidding Documents WSB will assist the City in obtaining approvals from governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the project if it is determined that they are needed. WSB will assist the City in preparing permit applications and/or approval requests and will assist the City with submitting the applications/approval requests to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Permit applications and/or agency review submittals are anticipated for: MPCA, MCES, RCWD, and MDH. WSB will develop the final project plans/maps and specifications based on the agency review comments. This task will include an internal QA/QC review of the final plans, quantities, and specifications. Upon completion of permitting and agency review and approval, a final set of construction documents will be prepared for bidding. WSB will print, assemble, and submit the final contract documents to the City and request authorization to advertise the project for bidding. WSB will receive and respond to bidder inquiries concerning the plans, specifications, and intent of the project. Logs of all inquiries will be kept and maintained to document inquiries. WSB will attend the project bid opening with the City. WSB will review the low bidder’s bid proposal, contractor’s and subcontractor’s personnel proposed for the project and relative experience, quality and availability of equipment, performance on similar projects, references, nature and extent of other similar contracts, whether or not the contractor or subcontractors have ever been denied contract award, and any other information that would affect the ability of the contractor to perform the work.
