OBOLTON & MENK Real People. Real Solutions. January 9, 2020 City of Orono Attn: Adam Edwards PO Box 66 Orono, MN 55323 RE: 2020 Drainage Improvements — Design and Bidding Services Dear Adam: 2638 Shadow Lane Suite 200 Chaska, MN 55318-1172 Ph: 19521 448-8838 Fax: (9521448-8805 Bolton-Menk.com As requested, we have prepared a scope of services and design fee estimate for the proposed 2020 Drainage Improvements Project. It is our understanding that the project will consist primarily of culvert replacements at various locations. Proposed Scope of Engineering Services To assist the City with this improvement project, Bolton & Menk proposes the following scope of services: Topographic Survey— We will document existing conditions within the project areas as necessary. Survey information to be obtained will include manholes, sewer, topography, and any other data pertinent to improvements outlined above. This work will include research for existing easements within project areas as necessary. Wetland Delineation and Watershed Permitting — We will delineate wetlands as necessary and coordinate delineation approvals with reviewing agencies. We will also submit necessary documents for Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permitting and coordinate permit approvals. Documents may include construction plans, specifications, and stormwater runoff analysis as necessary for connections to wetlands, lakes, and 1St order streams. StaffDesign Meetings — Our team will work with City staff to develop the scope of the project and to get input on design details. The goal of these meetings is to ensure that the project is designed consistent with City standards and that the City's maintenance practices and operations are considered throughout the design process. We will also plan a review meeting with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District staff. Detailed Design and Bidding — Once the final scope of the project is determined, Bolton & Menk will prepare detailed plans and specifications for the project. This work will include coordination with private property owners as needed. Upon authorization, the project will be advertised for competitive bids. Bolton & Menk will administer the bidding process and will ultimately make recommendations to the City Council about awarding the project. Fee Estimate Based on the scope of services described above, we propose a not -to -exceed fee of $34,500 to be billed on an hourly basis. Once the Construction Contract is awarded, Bolton & Menk will prepare a separate scope and fee estimate for construction phase services.
