- -Page 3 - - <br /> <br /> there are old residences with AC pavement parking areas directly adjacent to the alley. The south house <br /> <br /> has basement windows, and the north house has stairs and a walkway, both of which may be a concern <br /> <br /> relative to grade matching. Beyond the houses at the west, along both the north and south sides of the <br /> <br /> alley there are AC pavement parking areas for apartment buildings. Approximately mid-block, there is a <br /> significant grade change in the longitudinal direction of the alley. There are retaining walls and stair <br /> structures at the east end of the grade change. At the east end, on the north side is an apartment building <br /> <br /> with parking partially below grade. There are numerous trees in the alley; two large cedar trees and <br /> another large tree are located on the south side near the east end. There is also an iron fence along a <br /> portion of the southeast side. Utility poles are located in the alley, as are above ground pedestals at the <br /> west end of the alley. Activities which occur in the alley, and which construction will need to <br /> accommodate and/or coordinate, are generally access from the parking areas associated with the <br /> residential buildings and trash collection from the residential buildings. <br /> Alle,Y# 17 <br /> As noted, this alley is also oriented in an east/west direction. The block in which the alley is located is <br /> bounded by Kincaid and Alder Streets at the east and west, and West 14'" Avenue and vacated West 15~' <br /> Avenue at the north and south, respectively. The alley is currently surfaced with gravel. There is a <br /> significant grade change along the northwest end of the alley relative to the existing residential building <br /> to the north and it anticipated that a modular block retaining wall system will be required at this location. <br /> There is also an increase in grade in the eastern direction of the alley. At the west end of the alley, there <br /> is an existing sorority building located on the south side. There is a small portion of that building which <br /> is located directly adjacent to the alley, and there are bollards protecting the building edges. There are <br /> gravel parking areas for the sorority along the south side of the alley and additional gravel parking <br /> directly along the south side of the alley for the other residential buildings located south of the alley. At <br /> the northeast end of the alley is a developed parking lot with a curb line along the alley. There are utility <br /> poles on both sides of the alley with guy wires. A telephone pedestal was also noted. There are many <br /> shrubs along the north side of the alley and pathways that lead pedestrians from the areas north of the <br /> alley to the alley. Activities which occur in the alley, and which construction will need to accommodate <br /> and/or coordinate, are access for the residential parking areas to the south. There is no vehicle access to <br /> the alley from the north side of the alley. <br /> Scope of Services <br /> We will provide the following specific scope of services for each alley. Briefly, we will provide <br /> surveying services for the topographic design survey, construction staking, and as-built survey. We will <br /> provide engineering services for the design and preparation of construction drawings and bid schedules <br /> and construction cost estimating, construction inspection, and the preparation of as-built drawings. Our <br /> associated fee proposal breaks out the cost for each of these services as we understand the City may opt <br /> to provide construction inspection services directly. <br /> We will prepare plan and profile drawings in accordance with the City design standards and drawing <br /> format identified for this project. Our proposal assumes we will not provide a cover sheet or index sheet <br /> as these drawing elements will be prepared by the City. If desired, we can provide these elements as an <br /> additional service scope and fee. We will prepare a construction site management plan, alley <br /> improvement plan(s), structural details for the anticipated modular block retaining wall, and details not <br /> being covered by the City drawings. We will provide preliminary and final drawing check sets, with <br /> construction cost estimates, at designated times as determined with the City, and prepare the bid schedule <br /> associated with each alley improvement. <br /> <br />
