The geotechnical engineering effort will <br />include the following activities: <br /> <br />3.1 Geotechnical Project Management <br /> <br />• Attend Project Kickoff Meeting: HWA will attend one project kickoff meeting with <br />the AGENCY and the design team. This meeting will review project objectives, <br />communication protocol, and schedule. HWA assumes that this meeting will be virtual. <br /> <br />• Project Coordination Meetings: HWA will attend up to twelve (12) project <br />coordination meetings with the design team. HWA’s attendance will be used to convey <br />the geotechnical considerations of the site to the AGENCY and the design team. <br /> <br />• Invoice Generation and Processing: HWA will prepare monthly invoices, and <br />progress reports for the duration of the design phase of the project. <br /> <br />• Geotechnical Task Management: HWA will provide geotechnical task management <br />to all geotechnical-related aspects of the project. HWA will correspond with the <br />AGENCY and the design team in the form of emails, fax, and telephone calls, as <br />necessary. <br /> <br /> <br />3.2 Review Existing Geotechnical and Foundation Information <br /> <br />• Collect and Review Available Geotechnical Data: HWA will collect and review <br />readily available and relevant geotechnical information within the project site. This <br />review will include online geotechnical databases, geologic maps, and the HWA library. <br /> <br />3.3 Geotechnical Field Explorations <br /> <br />• Plan Field Exploration Program: HWA will plan and coordinate a 2-phased geotechnical <br />exploration program for the project. Phase 1 will consist of conducting a series of machine <br />drilled geotechnical borings along the bridge alignment in support of the bridge <br />replacement. Phase 2 of our proposed field explorations will consist of conducting a <br />reconnaissance of steep slope and conducting a series of hand explorations along the slope. <br />Planning will include identification of the location of the geotechnical borings, <br />development of traffic control plans, and coordination of required equipment and utility <br />clearance. <br /> <br />• Conduct Utility Locates for Geotechnical Explorations: Prior to generation of our <br />geotechnical work plan, HWA will mark the proposed exploration locations and arrange <br />Exhibit A
