Existing Conditions Review. BKF will visit the site to review site constraints and conditions. This will serve to identify challenges and define scope and to determine whether existing topographic mapping is adequate.
Existing Conditions Review. Contractor shall thoroughly familiarize itself with the Project Site and the conditions in which the Work is to be performed. Contractor shall carefully examine the design as it is developed and the Drawings and Specifications for the purpose of facilitating efficient and timely construction and for the purpose of discovering conditions which may present construction difficulties or opportunities. Any such suspected difficulties or opportunities shall be promptly reported to Owner with Contractor’s recommendations for follow-up action.
.1 Where non-destructive field inspections and measurements of existing conditions is needed, Contractor shall make such inspections and measurements as necessary in order to gain a complete understanding of the conditions affecting the Project.
.2 When appropriate, Contractor shall recommend destructive testing to determine the composition of existing conditions that may impact the design’s constructability, the Cost of the Work, the Schedule or safety of persons. Such destructive testing shall be at Owner’s expense.
Existing Conditions Review. The Consultant will coordinate with the City to create an inventory of existing roadways (arterials and collectors only) based on the latest adopted Thoroughfare Plan. Work completed as part of the Roadway Impact Fee study will be used as a baseline for evaluations and information added to this base from the ETJ. The inventory will be completed using aerial photography. This existing inventory database is anticipated to show the number of lanes, condition (ultimate or not) and if it matches the ultimate condition (number of lanes and median presence). The Consultant anticipates spending one day (two employees) in the City verifying the existing network. As part of this field work an existing needs assessment will be developed. The needs assessment will identify potential new connections, capacity expansions, intersection improvements, maintenance issues, and opportunities for trails or bike facilities. The Consultant will develop a database of crash information for the past 3 years for the entire City’s street network including both frequency and severity information based on the TxDOT Crash Reporting Information System (XXXX) and supplemented with local police department data as necessary for fatalities and crashes involving pedestrians and bikes. This information will be used in development of recommendations at both intersections in Task 4 and in prioritization of projects in Task 6.
