PART B — ALIGNMENT STUDY, COST ESTIMATES, AND PERMITTING
1. Alignment Study
a. Alignment Development
Engineer will perform an investigation of the alignment of Summer Creek Drive
between Risinger Road and McPherson Boulevard. It is understood that this roadway
is classified as a divided 4-lane major arterial (MA4D). The result of the investigation
will be one concept -level horizontal alignment and vertical profile. The alignment study
will be based on electronic mapping and GIS data available from the City. No
topographic surveys will be performed.
b. Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
Engineer will estimate construction quantities and other project costs and prepare an
opinion of probable construction cost for the proposed roadway segment. The
estimate will identify and separate costs for each of the stakeholders.
c. Deliverables
The deliverable for this item will be a CADD file and plan/profile sheet illustrating the
proposed alignment and a concept -level opinion of probable construction cost.
All plans, field notes, plats, maps, legal descriptions, or other specified documents
prepared in conjunction with the requested services shall be provided in a digital
format compatible with the electronic data collection and computer aided design and
drafting software currently in use by the CITY. All text data such as plan and profile,
legal descriptions, coordinate files, cut sheets, etc., shall be provided in the
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) format, all drawing
files shall be provided in MicroStation (DGN) or Autocad (DWG or DXF) format, or

Master Thoroughfare an Amendment
Upon approval of the Alignment Study, Engineer will prepare and submit the revised
roadway plan to the City for amendment of the MTP.
404 Permit Application
a. Jurisdictional Determination
An important component of the permitting process for projects of this size is the
determination of appropriate functions and values. This determination is necessary
for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to verify the adequacy of any
delineations and any required mitigation.
Using available literature, the soil survey, and USGS topographic maps, we will
provide a description of the functions and values of the project site. As part of the
functions/values determination, Dunaway will provide the Client with the appropriate
wetland delineation forms, map of jurisdictional waters overlain on the site plan, and
any evaluation of the waters of the U.S. within the proposed project site. The
wetland forms will include the vegetation characteristics of the jurisdictional waters,
soil profiles, and hydrologic information per the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual.
We will use a Global Positioning System (GPS) to map jurisdictional waters of the
U.S. Data collected in the field will be downloaded to existing Microstation/AUtoCAD
files to overlay on the existing topographic maps for the project. Exhibits indicating
all jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be prepared for inclusion in the wetland
survey report.
b. Natural Resources Assessment Report

N� JG Summer Cr ek Ijri+t'e• �; ,,��7L%;k.
Dunaway will prepare a Natural Resources Assessment Report describing the limits
and types of waters of the U.S. found within the project site. The report will contain
descriptions of waters of the U.S., site maps with waters shown, and permitting
options. It is assumed that this information would be used for purposes of the Pre -
Construction Notification that may be required by USACE.
c. Permitting Assistance
We will provide permitting assistance for the proposed project.
1) We will arrange two meetings with the Client and the Corps to discuss the
project and any permitting concerns. Minutes of each meeting will be prepared
and submitted to the Client within 10 days after the meeting.
2) Prepare a 404 NWP 14 application with exhibits for submittal to the Corps. After
submittal we will follow up with the Corps on a timely and ongoing basis to
minimize time for review and facilitate any necessary revisions.
Note —Preparation of a Mitigation Plan is not included in the scope of this assignment. If
needed, a separate proposal for this task can be prepared after the limits of the
jurisdictional areas have been identified.
