SERVICES PROVIDED
NorthStar has prepared the following scope of services to develop the project design and subsequent construction bid documents that best support the successful implementation of this project.

We appreciate the opportunity to discuss the scope of this project and the respective level of effort during the proposal process.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The scope of work for Toomes & Loleta Rehabilitation Project consists of pavement maintenance, rehabilitation, and striping for the stretch of Toomes Avenue, from Loleta Avenue to Fig Lane, and Loleta Avenue from Highway 99 West to Toomes Avenue. see Attachment A. Toomes and Loleta Avenue will be evaluated and a determination of what methods of rehabilitation will be required.
This project does not include improvements to sidewalk, curb, gutter, or any ADA improvements.
Task 8.A Project Management
NorthStar Engineering will perform the various services and activities associated with management of the contract. Diligent contract management is a critical component in successfully managing public funds.
PROJECT ADMINISTRATION AND OVERHEAD
Project Administration and Overhead includes front office and project administration including but not limited to, contract management, managing insurance policies, packaging, mailing and deliveries, billing, Ajera billing software setup, certified payroll invoicing, etc.
PROJECT COORDINATION
Explicit and thorough communications with the City is vital to the success of any project, and as such the NorthStar Design Team segregates this as a separate scope and budget component to acknowledge and account for this element during the life of the project development. To effectively manage the project NorthStar anticipates regular meetings for the duration of the project with the City to review project progress and activities.
QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL
NorthStar’s approach to quality assurance and control program has been developed over the course of performing engineering consulting services for a variety of clients and complex projects over the past 40 years. Two primary methods for consistently delivering a quality product on-time and within budget; internal communications that established a clear level of expectations, and peer review for clarity and accuracy for salient deliverables.
Task 8.B Topographic Survey
NorthStar will perform an UAS (drone) based aerial topographic survey and prepare a topographic map suitable for use as the base map for the design of the proposed improvements.
The topographic survey area will be as shown on the attached Exhibit “A”. The topographic survey shall include: all existing site improvements, hardscape features, topographic features, trees outlines, surface utilities, fence lines, and roadway improvements. Note that vertical accuracy of an UAS based aerial topographic survey is ±0.1’-0.2’.
Utilities will be plotted on the topographic map based upon the surface locations of utility facilities. Storm drain and sewer inverts will be obtained at the inlets and manholes fronting the site.
The topographic base map will be provided in an AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 drawing file format for use by the project team. A signed PDF copy of the topographic survey will also be provided. The above estimated fees allows for prevailing wages in Tehama County per the TEH 2025-1 wage determination.
