This document presents a scope of work and fee estimate developed <br />by Kimley-Horn (Service Provider) to support the City of Everett (City) in delivering the final <br />design and plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) for this project. <br />Project Understanding <br />Kimley-Horn understands that the City will act as the Certification Acceptance (CA) agency on <br />behalf of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to administer Move <br />Ahead Washington (MAWA) funding awarded for the design and construction of a pedestrian <br />bridge connecting Everett Community College (College) and the Washington State University <br />Everett (WSU Everett) campuses over North Broadway. <br />The purpose of the pedestrian bridge is to provide a controlled, grade-separated campus <br />connection between the College and WSU Everett campuses for students, faculty, and staff, to <br />be owned and maintained by the College The bridge is not intended to serve as a general <br />community crossing of North Broadway, nor is it intended to provide pedestrian or bicycle <br />access for the general public from North Broadway to the bridge structure. <br />Consistent with the College’s operational and safety objectives, the project is expected to <br />include physical deterrents, such as fencing or other access control measures, to: <br />·Discourage pedestrians and cyclists traveling along North Broadway from accessing the <br />bridge <br />·Encourage College and University users to utilize the bridge crossing rather than <br />crossing North Broadway at-grade <br />Pedestrians traveling along North Broadway will continue to cross at the existing signalized <br />intersection, consistent with current operations. <br />The City has identified reducing construction impacts to North Broadway as a key project <br />priority. Design decisions will strive to maintain traffic and non-motorized operations, reduce <br />construction duration and complexity, and minimize impacts to North Broadway and adjacent <br />roadway infrastructure.
