NOW, THEREFORE, for the consideration herein expressed, it is
hereby agreed as follows by and between the County and Engineer:
I. EMPLOYMENT OF ENGINEER. The County hereby agrees to
engage Engineer and the Engineer hereby agrees to
perform the services hereinafter set forth.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. This project will consist of the
following improvements:
A. The design of vehicular bridge to carry County Road
No. 1 over St. Vrain Creek.
B. The design of the approach roadways on each side of
the bridge.
(1)
III. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ENGINEER
The basic work of the ENGINEER shall be:
(1) preliminary or conceptual analysis and design with
technical and economic feasibility evaluation of various
alternatives, (2) final design and preparation of construction
drawings, specifications, and bid documents, and (3) provide
final Engineer's Construction Cost Estimate.
The work of the ENGINEER is specifically defined as follows:
A. Preliminary Design Phase
1. Review of Existing Data - The Engineer shall
review all existing survey, designs, and
right-of-way data to determine its usefulness
and to avoid unnecessary procurement of existing
data.
2. Design Survey - The Engineer shall perform a
preliminary design survey including information
for profiles and cross-sections as well as
horizontal control . The site survey work will
be established such that detailed construction
drawings can be prepared from this base survey.
The Engineer shall also direct and schedule
existing utility investigations for those
utilities that will have to be considered in
the design of the new project.
3. Right-of-Way - Official records and field survey
shall be used as necessary to establish all
existing and proposed property lines which will
define the public Right-of-Way and easements.
4. Soil Tests - Appropriate soil tests and analysis
shall support pavement and structural design
performed by the Engineer. Soil tests shall be
taken at the locations and elevations where they
will actually reflect the conditions in the final
constructed project. The Engineer shall direct
and schedule necessary soil investigations. Final
design drawings shall include a soils boring log.
5. Hydraulic Analysis - Engineer shall prepare a
hydraulic analysis in sufficient detail to design
the improvements with adequate hydraulic capacity
and freeboard.
6. Conceptual Design and Feasibility Evaluation -
The Engineer shall develop a preliminary design
for the bridge and approach roadway based upon
the site constraints, economic and use consider-
ations. Considerations will be given to future
traffic flow on the type of bridge and approach
configuration. The configuration of the bridge
and approach roadway will be defined to achieve
the most economical system.
(2)
The bridge type, configuration, material (concrete,
composite steel , etc. ) will be developed at
conceptual level with the approach roadway
evaluation. The work leading to the conceptual
bridge design will include site visits, develop-
ment of parameters for site survey, and the soil
investigation program. The conceptual design
will include such factors as clear span require-
ments, bridge opening, bridge type, pier require-
ments (if any) , and minimum cost aspects.
7. Preliminary Design Report - The Engineer shall
prepare a Preliminary Design Report including
road alignment and grade, and design problems
anticipated. The criteria utilized to evaluate
and define structures will be set forth in the
report as well as the economic evaluation data.
The Engineer shall make a presentation to the
County explaining the preliminary design.
B. Final Design Phase
Subsequent to the review and approval by the County of
the conceptual design for the project, the final design
phase of the work shall commence. The final design
will include the tasks defined below:
1. Supplemental Survey and Utility Definition -
This work item shall include basic data
investigation and compilation to supplement
data gathered in the preliminary phase. If
necessary, additional survey data will be
obtained on existing utilities that may have
to be relocated or modified as part of the
construction.
2. The Engineer will determine whether the work
requires an Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit,
and if necessary, will assist the County in
preparation of the permit application for
submittal to the Army Corps of Engineers. The
Engineer will be available to answer questions
which may arise during the application process.
In addition to the 404 permit process, the
Engineer will coordinate with the Army Corps
of Engineers during the design process concerning
the proposed improvements. Environmental impact
assessments and studies are not included in this
Scope of Work. Should the Engineer be requested
by the County to perform any impact assessments
or studies, the Engineer will be compensated
for such additional services.
3. Detail Plans and Specifications - The plans and
specifications, as listed hereinafter, shall be
prepared in sufficient detail for a competent
contractor to prepare an accurate bid and there-
after to construct any or all improvements in
any sequence. The plans shall be graphically
clear as to the difference between existing
features and new work. Dimensions and details
shall be sufficient to allow the contractor to
build the project. The plans shall include any
necessary changes to existing utilities and for
future utilities.
(3)
Drawings shall consist of, but not be limited,
by the following:
a. Title Sheet
b. General Information Sheet(s)
c. Summary of Quantities Sheet(s)
d. Approach Road Plan(s) and Profile(s)
e. Bridge Drawings
1. Plan
2. Sections
3. Details
f. Engineering Geology Sheet(s)
g. Off-site Detour Signing Plan
4. Design Criteria - The Engineer shall conform
with the requirements of the current geometric
design of the American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials and
the Colorado Department of Highways. Design
of the bridge structure will be based upon an
HS20-44 loading and a 55 MPH design speed.
5. Drafting Standards - The Engineer shall use
Colorado Department of Highways drafting standards.
Letter sizes shall be large enough to permit
half size reduction.
6. Survey and Plotting - The Engineer shall prepare
a Title Sheet, showing the overall project limits,
plan and profile sheets showing all existing
topography within the project limits, utilities
and existing structures on the plan and profile
portion of the sheets. The existing ground
line shall be shown at the proposed roadway
centerline.
7. Construction Specifications - The Engineer shall
provide special conditions and construction
specifications suitable for inclusion with

9. Construction Cost Estimate - The Engineer shall
prepare a detailed construction cost estimate for
the entire project. The cost estimate will be
based upon a detailed quantity take-off and estimated
unit price for each of the various construction
items.
Since Engineer has no control over the cost of
labor, materials, equipment or services furnished
by others, or over competitive bidding or market
conditions, his opinions of probable Project Cost
and Construction Cost provided for herein are to
be made on the basis of his experience and
qualifications and represent his best judgment as
an experienced and qualified professional engineer,
familiar with the construction industry; but Engineer
can not and does not guarantee that proposals,
bids or actual Project or Construction Cost will
not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared by
