Scope of Services,Water Main Replacement"T" PSA EXHIBIT A-1 Page 1 <br /> EXHIBIT A-1 <br /> GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SCOPE OF WORK <br /> CITY OF EVERETT <br /> UP NO. 3684, WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT "T" <br /> Introduction and Background <br /> The City plans to install new ductile iron water pipe and abandon in-place existing cast iron pipe <br /> along Colby Avenue between 37th Street and Pacific Avenue, 25th Street and 21st Street, and also W <br /> Mukilteo Blvd between Glenhaven Drive and Olympia Blvd. (See Figure 1 and 2) <br /> The Colby Avenue project replaces existing 3-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch aging cast iron water mains <br /> having a frequent break history with new 8-inch diameter ductile iron pipe. The W Mukilteo Blvd <br /> project replaces aging 6-inch and 8-inch cast iron pipe with new 12-inch ductile iron pipe and <br /> relocates an existing 12-inch main. The work also includes removal or abandonment of valves, fire <br /> hydrants, water service lines (from mains to the shut off at the meter boxes), new water meter boxes <br /> and setters, related appurtenances and surface restoration. <br /> Scope of Services <br /> The purpose of geotechnical services is to evaluate subsurface soil and groundwater conditions as a <br /> basis for providing geotechnical engineering recommendations for design and construction of the <br /> water main replacement and future sanitary sewer main replacement. Geotechnical consultant's <br /> proposed scope of services will include, and not be limited to, the following tasks: <br /> 1. Review Previous Geologic and Subsurface Information <br /> a. Review subsurface information, existing construction data, and other available geotechnical <br /> reports in the vicinity regarding subsurface soil and groundwater conditions. <br /> 2. Plan the Exploration Program and Obtain Permits <br /> a. Complete a site visit to locate the proposed borings, call for underground utility locates, plan <br /> the traffic control operations, and develop right-of-way permit applications, as required. <br /> i. Provide recommendation to number and locations of borings. Provide a minimum of <br /> one boring per block. Include rationale in Geotechnical consultant's choice in the <br /> number and locations of borings if different from the one boring per block minimum. <br /> ii. Locate all borings within paved surface so as to measure and record paved surface <br /> types and thickness. <br /> b. Submit permit applications, traffic control plans, and boring exploration plans to City of <br /> Everett for review and approval. <br /> i. Geotechnical Consultant is responsible for notifying public of no parking if borings are <br /> located within street parking areas. City forces will post the no parking signage <br /> provided Consultant gives City times and dates and minimum of 48 hours' notice. <br /> Consultant may not begin boring activities until a minimum of 48 hours after City <br /> posts the signage. <br /> 3. Field Explorations and Laboratory Testing <br /> a. Complete a site visit to meet with utility representatives and clear boring locations. <br /> b. Explore subsurface soil and note groundwater conditions at the site by drilling borings to <br /> depths recommended in 2.a.i. Complete field explorations under the direction of a <br /> geotechnical engineer or geologist. The explorations will be located in the field by measuring <br /> or pacing from existing site features such as driveways, structures and other site features <br /> shown on the drawings. Geotechnical consultant representative will maintain a detailed log <br /> of each exploration and obtain samples of the various materials encountered. Record <br /> pavement depths to the nearest 0.5 inch and pavement types encountered. The samples will <br />
