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 E. 18th
Street over the South Platte River.
B. The design of the approach roadways on each side
of the bridge.
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
821151
Page 1
(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 site
survey shall be tied to the section line with
a distance to the nearest monument. 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. Field
survey information on the existing channel
and roadway will be required.
6. Conceptual Design and Feasibility Evaluation-
The Engineer shall develop a preliminary
871151
Page 2
design for the bridge and approach roadway
based upon the site constraints, economic and
use considerations. The configuration of the
bridge and approach roadway will be defined
to achieve the most economical bid.
The bridge type, configuration, and material
will be developed at conceptual level with
the approach roadway evaluation. The work
leading to the conceptual bridge design will
include site visits, development of
parameters for site survey, and the soil
investigation program. The conceptual design
will include such factors as clear span
requirements, bridge opening, bridge type,
pier requirements (if any), and
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. Attached
to the Report will be all backup information
such as soil reports, Hydraulic Analysis, and
computations.
B. Final Design Phase
Subsequent to the review and written 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 - 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, that work will be considered
as "Additional Services" of this agreement.
2. The Engineer will determine whether the work
requires an Army Corps of Engineers 404
permit, and if required, will prepare the
permit application for submittal to the Army
Corps of Engineers. The Engineer will be
Page 3 871151
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 thereafter 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. The plans are to
include the basic plan and sectional
dimensions of the pre-manufactured
superstructure. Detailed design and drawings
will be required of the superstructure
supplier.
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

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 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
cannot and does not guarantee that the bids
