CITY OF WAUKEE By: ________________________________ By: __________________________ Name: Derek J. Thomas, P.E. Courtney Clarke, Mayor Title: Vice President 8 ATTACHMENT 1 SCOPE OF SERVICES A. Project Description This project involves performing preliminary and final design for a new culvert on NW Sunrise Drive over an unnamed creek. The City intends to construct the new culvert to support the extension of NW Sunrise Drive and a new residential development. This agreement includes survey, hydraulics and sizing for the culvert, permit evaluation and application (if necessary), preparation of plans and specifications, bidding assistance, and construction administration. Preliminary culvert sizing has been performed by the Developer’s Engineer and a triple 10’ x 6’ reinforced concrete box (RCB) is specified. No right-of-way (ROW) easement or acquisition is anticipated as the Preliminary Plat shows the adjacent (out)lots at the ends of the proposed culvert owned by the City. A DNR Floodplain Permit is not required because the drainage area is less than 2 square miles. WHKS will coordinate with the City to determine hydraulic design requirements and determine whether Preconstruction Notification is required with the US Army Corps of Engineers. The disturbed construction area is not anticipated to be large enough to require a SWPPP. Final structural design assumes a standard Iowa DOT culvert and headwall without flume. Precast and cast-in-place RCB alternates will be included. WHKS will coordinate with the City and the Developer’s Engineer to review and recommend revisions to the proposed roadway profile. The proposed profile currently shows intakes on top of the culvert, but it is assumed these will be shifted to the west. Plans will include details for one sidewall connection location for future storm sewer. Road, pedestrian access, and utility design is not included. This project will include construction of the culvert, channel grading as necessary for transitions, inlet and outlet protection as required, and backfill to the top of proposed roadway subgrade. The City will coordinate and provide electronic files of the proposed development grading and roadway alignments and profiles. Geotechnical Engineering services will be solicited by WHKS and the selected consultant will invoice the City directly.
