have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction
contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the contract
documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the
ENGINEER has made an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the construction contractor has used the moneys paid; that title to any of the
work, materials, or equipment has passed to the CITY free and clear of liens,
claims, security interests, or encumbrances; or that there are no other matters
at issue between the CITY and the construction contractor that affect the
amount that should be paid.

8.2. Temporary Right of Entry Preparation and Submittal
• The documentation shall be provided in conformance with the checklists and
templates available on the City's document management system resources
folder.
8.3. Subsurface Utility Engineering
Provide Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) to Quality Level D, C, 8, and A, as
described below. The SUE shall be performed in accordance with Cl/ASCE 38-02.
The Engineer shall perform the SUE work required for this project in general
accordance with the recommended practices and procedures described in ASCE
Publication Cl/ASCE 38-02 (Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of
Existing Subsurface Utility Data). As described in the mentioned ASCE publication,
four levels have been established to describe the quality of utility location and
attribute information used on plans. The four quality levels are as follows:
• Quality Level D (QL"D") - Information derived from existing utility records;
• Quality Level C (QL"C") - QL"D" information supplemented with information
obtained by surveying visible above -ground utility features such as valves,
hydrants, meters, manhole covers, etc.
• Quality Level B (QL"B") - Two-dimensional (x,y) information obtained through the
application and interpretation of non-destructive surface geophysical methods.
Also known as "designating" this quality level provides the horizontal position of
subsurface utilities within approximately one foot.
• Quality Level A (QL"A") - Three dimensional (x,y,z) utility information obtained
utilizing non-destructive vacuum excavation equipment to expose utilities at
critical points which are then tied down by surveying. Also known as "locating"
this quality level provides precise horizontal and vertical positioning of utilities
within approximately 0.05 feet.
It is the responsibility of the SUE provider to perform due -diligence with regard to
records research (QL "D") and acquisition of available utility records. The due -
diligence provided for this project will consist of visually inspecting the work area for
evidence of utilities and reviewing the available utility record information. Utilities that
are not identified through these efforts will be here forth referred to as "unknown"
utilities. TRG personnel will scan the defined work area using electronic prospecting

equipment to search for "unknown" utilities. However, TRG is not responsible for
designating and locating these "unknown" utilities.
Based on information provided by The Engineer, TRG has developed a preliminary
scope for the SUE work required for this project. The scope of work may be modified,
with The Engineer' concurrence, during the performance of the SUE fieldwork if
warranted by actual field findings.
Based on information provided by the City, TRG has developed a preliminary scope for
the SUE work required for this project. The scope of work may be modified, with Jacobs'
concurrence, during the performance of the SUE fieldwork if warranted by actual field
findings.
The scope of this proposal includes Quality Level "A". One (1) day of QL "A" test hole
effort will be included in the budget. Test hole locations will be determined by Jacobs
and TRG once the QL `B" SUE deliverable has been reviewed. TRG will have all
designating marks and test holes surveyed using project control point data provided by
Jacobs.
Any necessary Right -of -Entry (ROE) permits will be provided by Jacobs prior to the start
of TRG field work.
Designating Procedures
Prior to beginning field designating activities, The field manager will review the
project scope of work and available utility records. Once these initial reviews are
complete, the field manager and technicians will begin designating the approximate
horizontal position of known subsurface utilities within the specified project limits. A
suite of geophysical equipment (electromagnetic induction, magnetic) will be used to
designate metallic/conductive utilities (e.g. steel pipe, electrical cable, telephone
cable). The Engineer shall establish routine/ordinary traffic control (cones and free
standing signage, etc.) whenever required as part of our standard pricing. If non -
routine traffic control measures are required (barricades, flag person, changeable
message board, etc.), these services will be considered extra.
Accurate collection and recording of designated utilities is a critical component of the
SUE process. TRG utilizes a proven method of collecting and recording survey
information once the utilities have been designated in the field. The field manager will
produce detailed sketches depicting each utility as well as relevant surface features
such as roadways, buildings, manholes, fire hydrants, utility pedestals, valves,
meters, etc. Each utility will be labeled with a unique ID code. For example, if two
different water lines exist on the project, one will be labeled W1 and the other W2.
Paint and pin flags will be used to designate the utilities in the field. A labeled pin flag
or paint mark will be used to mark each location where a survey shot is required. The

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an Engineering Services Agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. in the
amount of $279,995.00 for Grand Avenue Sidewalk Project (City Project No. 104220).

This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will authorize the execution of an Engineering Services Agreement with Jacobs Engineering
Group, Inc. in the amount of $279,995.00 for the Grand Avenue Sidewalk project (City Project No.104220).
The project generally includes design plans and specifications for sidewalk improvements on Grand Avenue from Northside Drive to North Main
Street (City Project No. 104220). The contract scope for this project is to provide a new sidewalk, new Americans with Disability Act
(ADA) ramps, connecting to existing sidewalks on side streets, and updating any existing sidewalk elements to meet current City ADA
guidelines. A pedestrian fatality occurred at this location in 2021. The project will include any needed right-of-way acquisition and utility
adjustments to provide for the new sidewalk.
In April 2020, the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), Capital Delivery Division, published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
for various engineering consulting services. Category 16 — Specialty Area — Pedestrian/Bicycle Facility Development Task Order Contracts were
utilized for this selection. An evaluation team of City staff subject matter experts from the Capital Delivery Division of TPW scored the submitted
Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) based on company experience, prior projects, workload, and team experience. A pool of nine (9) firms were
prequalified for Category 16 — Specialty Area — Pedestrian/Bicycle Facility Development. Multiple contracts will be awarded in this category and
the highest scoring firm based on the July 9, 2020 attachment was selected for the largest project. This firm was second on the list and selected
for this project as the most qualified consultant to perform design services for this project after the firm listed above them was awarded a contract
at this time.
