Phase 1 extends from the PEC-4 confluence with Pecan Creek to the upstream side of Locust Street. Phase 11 of the project consists of approximately 900 LF of channel improvements and appurtenant structures as described in Phase 1. The project includes two (2) roadway crossings at Elm and Prairie. Phase II extends from the upstream side of Locust Street (the upstream end of Phase I) to the upstream side of Prairie Street. The Project will include design and preparation of construction documents for the improvements listed above with assistance from the OWNER. A single bid package will be prepared for the construction of the Phases described above. ARTICLE I BASIC SERVICES: The Project is defined as follows: This project will consist of Surveying, Final Design Plans, Specifications and Construction Estimates and associated engineering tasks for Phases I and II of Upper PEC-4 Drainage Improvements, based on preliminary design and CLOMR performed by another engineering firm. Phase I extends from the confluence with Pecan Creek to the upstream side Locust Street in the alignment shown on the attached Figure L Phase If provides continuation from the upstream end of Phase I at Locust Street to the upstream side of Prairie Street. The existing open channel between Prairie and Wainwright will be filled and replaced with a closed storm drain system sized to carry local flows only. The main flows of PEC-4 will be carried in the revised alignment located north of the existing channel as shown on Figure 1. The project includes drainage improvement design, as well as appurtenant water and sanitary sewer relocations within the project vicinity.
