Operations & RPR <br /> <br />Scope of Work <br />To support the safe demolition of Water Tower No. 1, SEH will provide comprehensive engineering services that <br />include planning and design, preparation of bidding documents, contractor procurement, and construction <br />administration. Our team will guide the City through each phase of the project, ensuring the demolition is <br />completed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all applicable regulations. <br /> <br />The proposed tasks for the project are summarized below and a task hour breakdown is attached showing the <br />tasks and anticipated staff hours. <br /> <br />TASK 1: PLANNING AND FINAL DESIGN: DEVELOPMENT OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS <br />Provide professional engineering services to develop complete bidding documents for the safe demolition of the <br />existing 75,000-gallon water tower located in a residential neighborhood in Lake Elmo. The scope includes <br />planning, coordination with the City, development of demolition plans and specifications, and ensuring regulatory <br />and safety compliance. <br /> <br />1. Project Kickoff Meeting <br />a. Conduct a project kickoff meeting with City staff to confirm project goals, schedule, roles, and <br />expectations. <br />b. Include other City associated representatives (i.e. Jeff Thene, RPR for other nearby <br />improvements & demo of existing well to provide input and feedback as plans are developed) <br />c. Review available background information (e.g., original tower plans, maintenance history, site <br />conditions). <br />d. Identify key concerns such as neighborhood impacts, site restoration expectations, traffic control, <br />and utility coordination. <br />e. Document and distribute meeting minutes summarizing discussion points and action items. <br />2. Site Evaluation and Preliminary Planning <br />a. Conduct a site visit to assess site access, utilities, adjacent structures, and any constraints <br />related to demolition. <br />b. Evaluate site-specific requirements such as traffic control, noise/dust mitigation, and potential <br />impact to adjacent residents. <br />c. Coordinate with utility providers to identify existing utility connections (power, SCADA, etc.) and <br />necessary disconnections. <br />d. Identify regulatory requirements from the MPCA, OSHA, and other applicable agencies. <br />e. Develop a preliminary demolition approach and identify environmental or safety risks. <br />3. Development of Draft Plans and Specifications <br />a. Prepare detailed demolition plans, including: <br />i. Site layout and access/staging areas <br />ii. Utility disconnection plan <br />iii. Sequence of demolition <br />iv. Protection of adjacent property and public safety <br />v. Erosion and sediment control measures <br />vi. Site restoration requirements <br />b. Develop technical specifications and bidding requirements in accordance with City standards and <br />relevant state/federal regulations. <br />c. Include contractor submittal requirements, permitting obligations, and documentation <br />expectations. <br />d. Provide preliminary engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost (OPCC).
