The proposed GWT 7 Project has three components: 1. Evaluation of the current transit infrastructure in the project area. 2. Design multimodal pathways along the defined routes, considering safety, connections, and amenities. 3. Assistance with a future grant application for construction funding, as necessary. SECTION NO. 4- SCOPE OF SERVICES 1. Permitting: Coordinate and file regulatory permits for all project components. 2. Design Renderings: Three-dimensional design renderings for each section of the trail, showing amenities, usage, and design features. 3. Construction Documents: Provide preliminary and final construction design (30%, 60%, 90%, 100%) documents and services for the project. 4. Construction Costs: Provide necessary interim opinions of project cost during development. These opinions are essential for the owner to make critical financial decisions regarding overall project resources and budgeting. 5. Grant Application Assistance: Help identify appropriate funding sources and prepare documents and narratives for the application process. 6. Public Meetings: The selected firm is expected to participate in City Commission and other public meetings as requested to present the project design. The selected firm is expected to make presentations/updates to the Board of Commissioners during critical project thresholds. At a minimum, these will occur at project milestones through the design development phase, before the construction bid phase, before awarding the construction bid, every quarter during construction of the project, before substantial completion, and before close-out. 7. Bid development: Prepare and issue all bid documents for construction. Facilitate the pre-bid meeting. Review and qualify the bids received for the project 8. Construction Administration: The project manager will maintain regular communications with the construction contractor to ensure the project is built to the approved plans, within budget, and in compliance with all grant requirements if applicable. Coordinate monthly progress meetings during the construction process. Review and approve all submittals, prepare field reports, review requests for contract modifications, respond to Request for Information (RFI), prepare the punch list, and provide other traditional construction administration services. Daily oversight and management of the project are required. 9. Construction Observation, Inspection & Testing: The project manager will provide appropriate pre-qualified field inspection personnel to inspect the work during all construction phases. The manager will prepare daily inspection reports and perform all necessary field testing. Daily oversight and management of the project are required. 10. Project Closeout: Complete necessary closeout procedures to ensure successful project delivery, including delivery of “As-Built” documents and all grant requirements.
