Field Investigation. Includes data gathering on the part of COUNTY and CONSULTANT leading to the completion of the various reports and forms required for the funding, permitting, right of way acquisition and construction of the project. Task 1.2 Coordination
Field Investigation. Provide a description of the results of the field work performed, including the surveying, geotechnical investigations, etc.
Field Investigation. 1. Complete up to two (2) on-site non-confined space investigations at each lift station with ENGINEER’s civil, electrical, mechanical, structural and controls experts.
a. Validate, expand on and correct information contained in record drawings and other documents.
b. Discuss issues and past efforts for resolution with OWNER staff (and select vendors, if needed).
c. Locate proposed (or installed, if applicable) valving and connection to each lift station from the new 000xx Xxxxxx force main.
2. Conduct wet well drawdown pump tests to determine operating conditions for each pump individually as well as various combinations of multiple pumps running simultaneously. This will include observing pressure readings with a pressure gauge tapped off the force main at the lift station. It is assumed that if no serviceable pressure taps exist that ENGINEER will install prior to the pump tests. ENGINEER will provide the temporary pressure gauge and fittings.
3. Conduct a confined space entry into each of the lift station wet xxxxx with the assistance of a contractor subconsultant to evaluate the structural conditions and identify areas needing rehabilitation.
a. ENGINEER’s subconsultant will temporarily block flow to the lift stations as needed for pressure-washing the interior to expose the concrete for inspection.
b. It is assumed that ENGINEER will provide equipment and labor to pressure wash the wet well and evacuate all sewage and debris for wet well inspection.
Field Investigation. A. Provide a full right-of-way/easement planimetric survey for the project area and required construction access roads. The survey will include the location of surface features within the study area including, but not limited to, edge of pavement, curb lines, utility/power poles, signs, driveways, sidewalks, overhead power and communication (approximate height of cables), lane striping, building outlines, etc. Additionally, storm and sanitary sewer mains will be surveyed with material, inverts, size, cleanouts, and manhole or catch basin information provided. Water main valve nut location and elevations, as well as fire hydrant locations, will be collected. Topographic information was obtained during the PER phase to be used for design.
B. Complete Quality Level B subsurface utility engineering (SUE) along the proposed alignments where the proposed improvements will be installed within or parallel to the existing public right-of-way, at existing infrastructure connection points, and in limited locations along easements where underground utilities are known to exist and could impact the design and construction.
C. Complete up to thirty (30) Quality Level A vacuum test holes at existing utility crossings or where utilities are closely paralleling the proposed improvements.
D. Geotechnical Investigation
a. Complete geotechnical subsurface investigations along the route to determine existing soil conditions, groundwater levels, and the existence of rock at up to 38 locations and up to 900 feet in total depth. Samples will be collected and tested for moisture, Atterberg limits, and grain size. Up to fourteen bulk samples will be obtained and submitted for triaxial sheer testing. Up to fourteen rock samples will be collected and tested. Samples for corrosion evaluation will also be collected during the geotechnical investigation.
b. A complete geotechnical subsurface investigation at the Cape Fear River crossing
c. A complete geotechnical subsurface investigation at the booster pump station and ground storage tank site
Field Investigation. Alta staff will conduct field reviews to supplement existing information including touring existing routes by bicycle and foot, possibly with members of the Steering Committee, MPO Staff, and/or representatives of other key interest groups. Field investigations will be documented using field notes, taking field measurements, and using digital photography. This will help us to further evaluate the project setting and land use patterns in Rapid City Area, identify system opportunities and constraints, and record site-specific information such as level of use, facility condition, and key gaps or obstacles. MPO staff and/or members of the Steering Committee may direct us to existing routes and other specific areas for review. Attendance at project kick-off meeting Kick-off meeting agenda and summary Final detailed scope, schedule, and public outreach plan Monthly status reports Draft goals and objectives On-going quality control, in-house and client reviews Memorandum summarizing background documents and plans Memorandum summarizing legislation and policies Field inventory of key destinations, gaps, and proposed and potential bicycle/pedestrian corridors
Field Investigation. Conduct a field investigation of the existing US 290 alignment and the surrounding area to determine field conditions including photographic record of notable existing features. This field investigation will be limited to accessible areas within the existing right-of-way. Inventoried features and conditions will be incorporated into the project GIS database.
Field Investigation. Consultant will conduct a field investigation of the water distribution system and facilities, including but not limited to, storage and pumping facilities, to strengthen Consultant’s understanding of the City’s water distribution system. City operations staff will also participate in the field investigation to answer questions and provide insight on system and facilities operations. It is assumed that all facilities can be visited in one day. Meeting with City’s Planning Division. Consultant will meet with the City’s Planning Division staff to review land use and zoning to assess existing and future service areas. Obtain pertinent land use planning maps, data, and documents that provide information required for the Water Master Plan and discuss the specific planning issues and potential growth or redevelopment areas in the City. The projected timing of new developments shall be discussed with Planning Division staff to provide input for capital improvement project phasing. Identify interim (near-term) and build-out land use scenarios, based on the General Plan, Midtown Specific Plan, and Transit Area Specific Plan. Together with the Planning Division, identify alternative build-out land use/zoning assuming General Plan amendments may occur. Evaluation of Adequacy of Existing Data. Consultant will review existing parcel, customer billing, population information, and water use data to determine if it is feasible to use this data to define existing land uses (e.g., number of dwelling units for residential areas and floor area for commercial /industrial areas), and/or water usage on parcel-by-parcel basis for purposes of developing water usage for the hydraulic model. Review of Existing Water Model. Consultant will obtain and review the existing water model and all reports and files used in the construction and development of the existing model. It should be assumed that many aspects of the existing model can be used in the current status, but the model will require updating and expanding for use in this Water Master Plan. Consultant will develop the City’s new water system hydraulic model using InfoWater.
