identified. WUS will also be identified and mapped during the delineation.
The methods the Consultant will use in the delineation generally follow the Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Region
(2010) and the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands
(1987). Under normal circumstances, wetlands generally have three essential
characteristics: hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology.
Our proposed Scope of Work includes the following:
• Assemble application information (i.e., aerial maps, soil classifications, site
hydrology, vegetation type, etc.).
• Perform on-site visit to gather data pertaining to the hydrophytic vegetation
community, surface hydrology, and hydric soil characteristics. The following items
will be performed at discrete data point locations within suspect wetland areas on-
site.
• Assess each stratum of vegetation (i.e., trees, saplings/shrubs, herbs, and woody
vines). Vegetation will be classified by Genus species and dominance will be
assessed.
• Classify soil types and evaluate hydric soil indicators using shallow soil probes or
spade holes.
• Observe site characteristics for wetland hydrology indicators.
• Utilize a hand-held GPS unit (sub-meter accuracy) to map the location and
boundaries of delineated wetlands and WUS. If heavy tree cover is present, a non-
GPS survey may be needed to identify wetland boundaries. Fees for standard
surveying have not been included in this proposal.
• Prepare maps showing the delineated wetland and WUS area(s).
• Submit a Wetland and Waters of the U.S. Delineation Report containing the
applicable data, wetland jurisdictional rationale, and proposed project information.

The scope of this proposal includes one site visit to conduct a baseline delineation. The fees
in this proposal do not include additional meetings or data collection/evaluation that may
be requested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
Task 2 –Section 404 Permit Application
If wetland or WUS impacts are proposed, the Consultant will prepare and submit a Section
404 Permit Application containing the applicable data, wetland jurisdictional rationale, and
proposed project information to the USACE, Iowa Department of Natural Resources
(IDNR) Flood Plain Section, and IDNR Sovereign Lands Section.
The proposed utility project would likely be covered under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12
for Utility Line Activities. Under NWP 12, mitigation is generally not required for
temporary WUS or emergent wetland impacts if the ground surface is restored to pre-
construction elevations upon completion of the project.
This proposal does not include fees for preparing a Mitigation Plan if the impacted
wetlands or WUS cannot be returned to pre-construction elevations or if forested wetland
impacts are proposed. If wetland or WUS mitigation is necessary, budget estimates for
additional services will be provided as the project scope evolves.
Task 3 –Phase I Cultural Resource Survey
The Consultant will retain a subcontractor to perform a limited/cursory archeological
survey for review by the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) during the permitting
process.
D. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
The Consultant shall perform conceptual design services with the primary focus on
horizontal layout using section corners and rough vertical to coordinate with the
development of future roadway improvements. The preparation of the conceptual plans
and strip map will depict the alignments, profiles and proposed grading based on a
LiDAR surface and aerial.
The work to be performed by the Consultant under the Conceptual Design and Plans
phase will consist of the following tasks:
Task 1 – Develop Typical Sections
Develop typical sections for the mainline street improvements in consultation with the
City. Prepare typical sections, including lane widths, curb section/type, sidewalk widths,
right-of-way widths, pavement types and clear-zones.
Task 2 – Develop Conceptual Roadway Geometrics
Develop Conceptual roadway geometrics for the project. Intersection geometry is not
included with this task.
Task 3 – Develop Roadway Horizontal Alignments and Vertical Profiles
Utilizing section corner information and LiDAR surface, develop horizontal alignment
and vertical profile for S Avenue. NW Meredith Drive alignment and profile is included
in this task.

Task 4 – Develop Gas Main Horizontal Alignment and Vertical Profiles
Utilizing section corner information and detailed topographic survey surface, develop
horizontal alignment and vertical profile for the new gas main.
Task 5 – Develop Conceptual Design Plans
Prepare conceptual level strip map and plans depicting typical cross sections, proposed
grading, paving, alignments and profiles, and pedestrian box locations.
Task 6 – Conceptual Drainage Culvert Layout
Determine location of any needed drainage culvert. Size of culvert will be assumed
based off overall drainage area.
E. CONSTRUCTION SURVEY
Construction Survey shall only be completed upon written authorization to proceed by the
City and consist of the following tasks to be performed by the Consultant:
Task 1 - Project Control
a. Verify existing horizontal and vertical control as shown in the project plans and
supplement with additional control points as-need to complete the project.
b. Reset land corners and permanent reference markers as indicated on the plans.
c. Tie-ins with existing roadways shall be checked for correctness of alignment prior
to construction staking.
d. This task does not include resetting all property corners disturbed by construction.
Task 2 - Property Lines and Temporary Easement
Stake temporary easements, permanent right-of-way corners at 50-foot intervals, or less if
needed. These points shall be marked by placement of a metal pin or wood hub, flat, and
lath at the same location as the slope stakes.
Task 3 - Gas Mains
Mark locations and elevations with metal pin or tack in a wood hub, flat, and lath. Clearly
mark the flat with the station location, pipe number, cut/fill elevation, and offset distance
to centerline of pipe.
Task 4 – Miscellaneous Construction Staking
The above tasks qualified personnel, equipment and supplies required for a one-time
construction staking for the project to establish the line and grade for the proposed
improvements. Replacement costs of any survey stakes or marks that are destroyed or
disturbed by the Contractor shall be charged to the Contractor.
Construction staking for removals, existing utilities, silt fence, grading (stakeless),
revetment limits, erosion control lining, surface restoration, landscaping, traffic control,
signing and pavement markings, rock excavation volumes, and other miscellaneous items
are not included in this scope of services. It is assumed that the on-site construction
technician for the project will provide these services where appropriate. Existing and final
cross-sections for earthwork computations are also not included in the above.
