Field Survey
The Consultant will perform a detailed topographic survey of the area to be affected by
the proposed improvements. At a minimum, it is assumed that topographic survey will
be required on the entire Transit Center property, however additional areas may be
required to be survey depending on the scope of work to be undertaken.
The detailed topographic survey will include all detail necessary to design the proposed
improvements, including but not limited to: surface features including curbing, drainage
and utility surface structures, fences, walls, signs, mailboxes, HVAC equipment,
buildings, foundations, and other ancillary items; spot grades and 1-foot contours; right-
of-way lines, property lines and ownership information; and all underground utility
information including pipe size, condition and mm elevation necessary to complete the
improvements.
It is assumed that record plans will be available for the existing platform canopy and
Transit Center building, detailing all materials, utilities, fixtures, and dimensions. These
record plans will be field verified by the architect for accuracy, but it is not anticipated
that a full survey of the building and platform canopy structure will be required as a part
of this project.
Meetings
Meetings with the City, as well as public presentations and assistance in technical or
procedural aspects of the project will be required as the project proceeds. Services for
meetings include coordination, preparation, travel, attendance, supporting graphics (when
required), and documentation in the form of meeting notes (when requested). Such
services will be provided at the request of the City.
An initial upset limit is included in this Contract Agreement for attendance at up to two
(2) public meetings, one (1) with the Planning Board and one (1) with the Infrastructure
Planning Committee, and two (2) project review meetings with the City team. Further, a
total of four (4) meetings are anticipated as a part of this phase of the project.
Preliminary Plans
Upon completion of the field survey, the Consultant will begin preparation of the
Prelimimary Plans. The Preliminary Plans will be developed to include the existing
facility layout, drainage, preliminary drainage calculations, schematic architectural plans
for design floor plans, exterior elevations and interior elevations, traffic and pedestrian
flow, landscaping and street furniture, and lighting plans. The plans will also include
construction details of any items requiring additional detailing. These plans will be
suitable for permitting with the City board(s). The Preliminary Plans will be submitted to
the City in Draft format for review and comment prior to submission to any board or
agency.
Planning Board Site Plan Review Process
Once the Preliminary Plans have been approved by the City, they will be filed with all
applicable boards, commissions, and agencies, along with any permit applications
