equirerents, and record any feedback that wond requins adilan processing, entilements, environmental B. Review applicable Agency Guidelines, Requirements, Design Standards, Utility Master Plans, Record Improvement Plans, Final Maps, and other supporting documentation. Identify existing utilities to be impacted by the project.
C. Prepare a bar chart project schedule itemizing all activities and subtasks to successfully meet project milestones. Provide monthly updates of the project schedule to the City Project Manager.
D. Perform high level quality control and project oversite throughout the development of the design, plans, and overall project.
E. Coordinate with City Staff during review and approval process.
F. Attend meetings for coordination during the design and Improvement Plan process, as necessary.
G. Attend meetings as outlined in the RFP for the submittal documents.
H. Prepare Civil submittal packages for submission. Revise Improvement Plans in accordance with the Agency review comments. This Task estimates four submittal reviews prior to approval. Additionally, an AutoCAD version 2020 compatible drawing file and Microsoft Word Specifications will be provided with the final submittal.
2. TOPOGRAPHIC AND PROPERTY BOUNDARY SURVEY
A. Record Research - Perform record research at Merced County to locate Recorded Control Maps, Right-of- Way Maps, Records of Survey, Corner Records, and other official maps of records.
B. Right-of-Way and Control Field Survey - Perform a Topographic and Right-of-Way Survey to provide design control and right-of-way mapping for the project. Set horizontal and vertical control points for project mapping in accordance with City of Merced horizontal and vertical control requirements. All Surveying and Mapping shall be in compliance with the provisions of the Professional Land Surveyors Act, Sections 8700 to 8805 Business and Professions Code; the provisions of the California Coordinate System, Sections 8801 to 8819 of the Public Resources Code; and any other applicable code in the State of California. The horizontal datum will be based on the North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83). The vertical datum shall be based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) and closed network bench loops will be run through the control monuments. Perform a Field Survey to search and locate existing survey monuments and physical evidence required to establish existing rights-of-way and property lines at those locations where any portion of the project infringes upon the required setback limits of the project improvements, work areas, storage, and staging areas. Perform calculations for the right-of-ways based on the found monumentation and lines of occupation located with the field survey. 620 12'h Street Modesto, CA 95354

C. Land Net Surveys - Calculate record right-of-way lines and property lines located within the project limits in accordance with record maps, record deeds, and documents as required to calculate field search positions for existing Right-of-Way Monuments, Street Survey Monuments, and Parcel Corner Monuments.
D. Topographic Survey - Perform a detailed Field Survey of existing Canal Street including physical improvements, driveways, structures, visible utilities, and drainage features. All work and files will be based on project coordinate control in accordance with the City of Merced requirements for the preparation of documents and maps. Topographic Field Survey will locate existing site improvements and gutter, handicap ramps, striping, signs, fences, driveways, pavement elevations, existing ground elevations, visible utilities, structures, utility poles, trees, planters, and other miscellaneous visible features. Cross-sections will be taken at 50-foot intervals along Canal Street except in areas of vertical curves where cross-sections will be taken on 25-foot intervals and extend 50-feet along 14th Street and 15" Street. Measure the existing invert and pipe sizes for the accessible utility structures. Consultant will coordinate with property owners to gain "right of entry" during the Field Survey where needed. The Survey data will be processed and rendered into a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and CAD base map. The CAD map shall exhibit 1-foot contours, spot elevations, all pertinent surface features, tree measurements, and utilities.
E. Monument Preservation - Research existing records for horizontal and vertical control monuments and property corners that might be compromised by project activities. Show existing monuments on the project survey to be incorporated into the construction documents, perform a Field Survey to set reference ties for any monument with the potential of disturbance during project construction activities. Based on the found monuments and reference ties, prepare pre-construction corner records for the found monuments in accordance with Section 8771 of the Professional Land Surveyors Act in the Business and Professional Code of the State of California. Process and file the pre-construction corner records with the County Surveyor.
3. CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND SPECIFCATIONS A. Prepare an off-site base plan for the project site which includes improvements for Canal Street between 14th Street and 15" Street for the replacement of sidewalks, curb, gutter, and accessible ramps along with the removal and replacement of the existing 16 inch water main. Canal Street shall have a structural section of 3 inches of asphalt over 11 inches of aggregate base over 12 inches of compacted subgrade.
Additionally, a bid alternative for Canal Street will be provided for a full depth reclamation (FDR) using 12 inches of cement under 3 inches of asphalt. If off-site improvements extend beyond the limits described in this project, additional fees will be required. Any modifications to the approved off-site public base plan will require additional fees.
B. Identify demolition requirements and prepare a Demolition Plan with notes, call-outs, and specifications.
C. Design Grading and Drainage Plans for off-site public improvements utilizing the approved base plan described in item A above including the design of accessible ramps.
D. Design and replace the existing 16 inch water main in Canal Street between 14" Street and 15" Street. All existing services and devices such as fire hydrants, meters, etc. will need to be relocated to connected to the new 16 inch water main. The off-site water system will include water valves, fire hydrants, and water service piping from the new public water main in the existing street.
E. Coordinate with the Dry Utility Consultant and show (for reference only) the location of dry utilities.
