EXHIBIT'A'
ITEMIZED SCOPE OF SERVICES
GENERAL
The PROJECT will involve improvements to an existing channel, extending south
approximately 2,000 feet from the intersection of Willowwood and McCormick Street
The improvements will be designed primarily to reduce erosion and facilitate
maintenance, and secondarily to improve flood control
A The following assumptions were used by the ENGINEER (Teague Nall and Perkins,
Inc ) for the preparation of the scope of services for this project
1 We understand that the primary purpose of the project is to control erosion and
make conditions more conducive to regular maintenance by City forces
Secondary importance is placed on flood control In the course of the project, we
will determine the impacts of flooding on adjacent property and consider
improvements that will enhance flood protection in addition to minimizing erosion
2 No Letter of Map Revision is expected to be necessary, and accordingly is not
included in the scope of services
3 Water and wastewater utility relocations are not anticipated, and accordingly are
not included in the scope of design services as provided in this contract The
ENGINEER shall obtain as -built plans from the City to verify grades and locations
for the design and construction of storm drain features Should the above -
mentioned utilities require relocations the ENGINEER will be available to perform
such design under separate contract
4 It is assumed that no additional easements or right-of-way will be necessary for
this project Accordingly, no boundary surveying, deed research or title research
is included in this proposal The Agreement also does not include preparation of
easements Readily identifiable property monuments will be tied during the
design survey
5 It is expected that a Corps of Engineers 404 permit will be required for this
project The ENGINEER will undertake initial contact with the Corps, and will
prepare and submit a Pre -Construction Notification to the Corps, which will
include a Mitigation Plan The Mitigation Plan will be based on on -site mitigation
only The fee indicated in this Agreement is based on the use of a Nationwide
Permit Should additional or off -site mitigation be required, or if it is determined
by the Corps that an Individual Permit is required, those additional services will be
outside the scope of this agreement, and will be rendered on an hourly basis We
expect that the permit will require as much as nine months for processing
Obviously, if a permit is not required, or if processing time varies significantly from
that anticipated time, the construction schedule will be impacted accordingly
FEl
6 Limited geotechrncal work is included as part of this Agreement Such
investigations will be performed by a subconsultant under contract with the
ENGINEER The ENGINEER shall coordinate with the geotechnical consultant
and review test reports and recommendations
7 Construction plans, specifications and bid documents will be prepared to enable
the City to solicit and receive bids from independent contractors to perform the
construction work Reproduction costs shown are for reproduction of up to 25
sets of plans and bid documents for bid solicitation purposes Reproduction for
interim review is included in the fixed fee
8 No construction administration services are included in this proposal
B The project has been divided into two (2) phases of work Phase I — Study Phase,
Phase II — Design Phase
STUDY PHASE
The Study Phase will consist of field design surveys, limited geotechmcal
investigations, hydraulic modeling of the existing channel under both existing
and fully developed flows, consideration of suitable alternative design
solutions, preparation of preliminary cost estimates, and recommendations for
the Design Phase Corps of Engineers 404 permit processing is also a part of
this phase, although it will be conducted at least in part during the Design
Phase
DESIGN PHASE
The Design Phase will involve preparation of construction plans, specifications
and bid documents that will implement the selected alternative from those
identified in the Study Phase

features horizontally and vertically within the project limits which will be
required to design and perform the work Easement preparation and
field surveying for easements on private property are not included The
survey will depict existing features within the project limits, including
pavement, fences, utilities, trees, buildings and other features that will
affect design and construction Sufficient data will be obtained to
prepare cross sections of the proposed project Surveys will show all
visible existing improvements and features within the right-of-way limits
throughout the project

based upon available information and "field locates" or markings
provided by the utility companies ENGINEER will rely solely on the
cooperation of the various utility companies and any information they or
the CITY make available
c Finish floor elevations on approximately 8 to 10 houses adjacent to the
channel will be obtained for comparison with Base Flood Elevations
determined in the study

Lawn Road, and detail the existing culvert at Rose Lawn These
sections will be taken at approximately 600' to 800' intervals

improvements
e Develop preliminary cost estimates for alternative designs
