On projects involving bridge structures over waterways and/or wetland replacement, the CONSULTANT shall submit the draft Fish & Wildlife Review form to the project manager prior to the preliminary field check. If requested, a meeting will be held with the District Environmental Scoping Section and/or INDOT’s Office of Environmental Services. The final form shall be distributed by the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT shall prepare and submit pavement design requests to INDOT with necessary supporting information. On projects involving roadways running parallel to streams, the CONSULTANT shall make a study of the possible flood hazards that may be encountered on the project in accordance with 23 CFR 650, Subpart A, entitled "Location and Hydraulic Design of Encroachment of Flood Plains". The CONSULTANT shall perform hydraulic calculations in accordance with the Indiana Design Manual. Calculations for structures greater than 36” in diameter shall be submitted to INDOT’s Hydraulics Unit for review. The CONSULTANT shall perform pH testing a minimum of two times throughout the life of the project design at existing pipe structure locations. When the difference between the first two readings is greater than 0.5, a third test will be required. The result of one of the pH tests may be available in the Geotechnical Report. The value of the pH shall be determined to the nearest 0.5 point. The lower pH value will determine the types of pipe allowed. It is preferable to perform the pH testing at three different times of the year. On projects with existing underdrains that are not being replaced, the CONSULTANT shall locate existing underdrain outlets by field investigation, show the outlets on the plans, and design corrective measures necessary to provide a properly functioning underdrain system. The CONSULTANT shall identify the permits required and supply permit application forms with documentation necessary to obtain the permits. The CONSULTANT shall prepare the construction plans so that the plans are in compliance with the required permits. The CONSULTANT shall track the status of permits and permit expiration dates to determine if valid permits will be available for the current project construction schedule. The responsible registered professional engineer shall affix his/her seal to all plans, specifications and reports. The CONSULTANT shall review the contract bid package and identify necessary corrections to the Contract Administration Division.
