Work by the selected engineer will include the following: • Survey as needed to establish site features, topography and boundaries. • Geotechnical or other investigations as needed to support design. • Traffic count data as needed to support the design. Some traffic count data is available at WMSRDC’s website. The City has a limited ability to perform ADT counts.
