The geotechnical engineering effort will include the <br />following activities: <br /> <br />3.1 Project Management <br />3.1.1 Attend Project Kickoff Meeting: HWA will attend one project kickoff meeting with the <br />City of Everett and the design team. This meeting will review project objectives, <br />communication protocol and schedule. HWA assumes that this meeting will take place at <br />the City of Everett’s Office. <br /> <br />3.1.2 Project Coordination Meetings: HWA will attend up to twelve (12) project coordination <br />meetings with the design team. HWA’s attendance will be used to convey the <br />geotechnical considerations of the site to the City of Everett and the design team. The <br />CONSULTANT assumes these meetings will take place virtually and be 1-hour in <br />duration each. <br /> <br />3.1.3 Invoice Generation and Processing: HWA will prepare monthly invoices, and progress <br />reports for the duration of the design phase of the project. <br /> <br />3.1.4 Geotechnical Task Management: HWA will provide geotechnical task management to all <br />geotechnical related aspects of the project. HWA will correspond with the City and the <br />design team in the form of emails, fax, and telephone calls, as necessary. <br /> <br />3.2 Review Existing Geotechnical and Foundation Information <br /> <br />3.2.1 Collect and Review Available Geotechnical Data: HWA will collect and review readily <br />available and relevant geotechnical information within the project site. This review will <br />include online geotechnical databases, geologic maps, and HWA library. <br /> <br />3.3 Field Geotechnical Explorations <br />3.3.1 Plan Field Exploration Program: HWA will plan and coordinate a 2-phase geotechnical <br />exploration program for the project. Phase 1 will consist of conducting a series of <br />geotechnical borings within the roadway in support of the bridge replacement. Phase 2 of <br />the proposed field explorations will consist of conducting a reconnaissance of the ravine <br />slopes and limited access borings along the slope adjacent to the bridge. Planning will <br />include identification of the location of the geotechnical borings, development of traffic <br />control plans, and coordination of required equipment and utility clearance. <br /> <br />3.3.2 Conduct Utility Locates for Geotechnical Explorations: Prior to generation <br />of the geotechnical work plan, HWA will mark the proposed exploration <br />locations and arrange for utility locates using the Utility Notification <br />Center. Utility location marks will be used to verify proposed field <br />exploration locations prior to development of traffic control plans. <br />
