EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR:
DOWNTOWN SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE I AND II
ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
General:
The City of Lubbock (The Owner) is experiencing a period of growth throughout the City and surrounding
areas. In order to respond to this growth, infrastructure improvements are required to meet the increasing
population and non-residential development. The development of this sanitary sewer line (The Project) is
to upsize existing infrastructure in response to existing and upcoming re -development in downtown
Lubbock. The Wastewater Master Plan and associated modeling identified the need to upsize the existing
15/18/21-inch sewer lines, located in Avenue M and 14t' Street, to a 21- and 30-inch line to convey flows
from downtown ultimately to the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant. To address these new flows, the
Project's primary objectives consist of the following:
A. The Project includes the following services:
1. Prepare Preliminary Design Report (POR) - Identifying and analyzing three alternate routes, in
addition to the baseline route identified in the Owner's Wastewater Master Plan (refer to
attached preliminary map). Included in the FOR will be the determination of rehabilitation
methods for portions of the existing sewer lines for the alternate routes.
2. Condition Assessment - Pending selection and approval by the Owner for one of the three
alternate routes, a condition assessment of the manholes (22) and pipelines (maximum 6000
LF) will be performed. The purpose of this condition assessment will be to identify if
rehabilitation is required, and If so, to select the method conducive to its condition.
B. The Project does not include the following services, but will include them in a subsequent
amendment:
1. Topographical Survey — Once a route has been selected, topographical survey will be
performed (approximately 8500 LF). If a route is selected other than the baseline route, survey
will be performed for the rehabilitation of the existing 15- and 18-inch sewer pipeline in
Avenue M and 14" Street (maximum 6000 LF).
2. SUE Level B will be performed for the same alignments and up to 10 Level A potholes. Up to
eight (8) legal descriptions will be prepared for new sewer easements including temporary
construction easements.
3. Geotechnical Investigation - The proposed geotechnical scope of work for the project will
consist of field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and reporting. 15
exploratory borings, spaced no greater than 1,000 feet apart, will be performed with all
borings drilled to a minimum depth of 25 feet below existing grade.
4. Environmental Evaluation and Permitting — The proposed environmental evaluation consist of
a pedestrian survey, coordination with the Texas Historical Commission, and the preparation
FNI Professional Agreement Page 1 of 19
of an environmental permitting memorandum. Permitting includes assisting the City in
obtaining permits from various agencies.
S. Prepare two sets of Contract Documents —The Project will be designed for two sets of contract
documents. The first for the new interceptor and the second for the rehabilitation of the
existing sewer lines (if needed). The Contract Documents will be structured based on the
Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) method of Contractor selection. Included in the Contract
Documents for the new interceptor will include the design of a Diversion Structure, which will
be capable of transferring the required flows to the new interceptor and to allow required
flows to remain in the existing sewer lines.
6. Construction Advertisement — Both projects will be advertised and awarded simultaneously.
Pre -proposal meetings for both projects will be held on the same day. Receipt of both
proposals from Contractors will also be held on the same day.
7. Disposal fees for waste material collected by the Contractor during the Condition Assessment
of the existing pipelines. It is understood that the Owner will provide, free of charge, a location
for the Engineer's sub -consultant to dispose of waste material.
8. It is assumed that the geotechnical borings will not encounter a rock stratum. Therefore, the
testing for such material is not included in the scope.
9. General Representation is not included in the scope.
10. Resident Project Representation (RPR) is not included in the scope.
11. Temporary flow monitoring will not be provided. Design flows will be based on the Owner's
current Wastewater Master Plan.
12. Land acquisition services are not included in the scope but can be added as an amendment to
the contract.
13. The preparation of a Pre -Construction Notification, individual Section 404 permit application
to the USAGE, performing a survey for federally listed threatened or endangered species,
providing a cultural resource survey, or preparation of a Phase 1/II environmental site
assessment, is not included in the scope.
14. Preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
