Zayibeth Carballo-Township Engineer Township of West Orange October 25, 2024 OSPAC/Crystal Lake SCOPE OF SERVICES DESIGN SERVICES The Base Scope of Work will include the installation of ADA accessible seating for the amphitheater, the installation/rehabilitation of a 6 foot wide stone path around the perimeter of the lake, the installation of decorative LED pathway lighting along the perimeter path, the installation of a monument sign with programmable message board, and the installation of miscellaneous site furnishings such as benches and trash receptacles. With respect to the work on the pathway, this proposal assumes that the surface will not be HMA as this surface will be counted as impervious and could qualify the project as a Major Development for Stormwater Design. Further, the RFP lists the pathway width as 6 to 8 feet. Since Freshwater Wetlands General Permit #17 will be utilized for this work, and since the permit conditions restrict the maximum pathway width to 6 feet, the pathway work will not widen any part of the pathway to more than 6 feet. The project is not intended to qualify as a Major Development for Stormwater Design. Therefore, while not specifically required, GPI will include the replacement of inlet heads and grates as required by the stormwater management rules. There are additional items listed in the Alternate Scope of Work. These items are specifically discussed in Section I of this proposal. The Township’s decision on which, if any, of the additional items will be included in the project must be early in the project schedule to assure compliance with the timeline in the RFP. A. SURVEYING SERVICES 1. Prepare a Conceptual Base Map utilizing public domain aerial orthographic images with tax map parcel and feature overlays, to be provided by the Township in CAD format. 2. Prepare a Boundary and Topographic Survey of the subject parcels, being known as Lot 1.02 (Crystal Lake) and Lot 5 (Oskar Schindler Performing Arts Center) and the area of the walking trail, with all three mentioned parcels encompassing approximately 9.3 acres of land, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 13:40-5.1 in support of permitting and construction plans. Corner markers will NOT be set under this agreement. We will obtain a ten-foot (10’) overlap onto adjoining properties where accessible. Prior to commencing with the survey, we require that the Township supply or

rs will NOT be set under this agreement. We will obtain a ten-foot (10’) overlap onto adjoining properties where accessible. Prior to commencing with the survey, we require that the Township supply or make available, all pertinent information and documentation in the Township’s possession relative to the subject parcel. Such information includes, but is not limited to, title reports/searches, area surveys, construction plans related to prior improvements to the property, records, deeds, original tract maps, public records, State, County, or Municipal maps. We also require any information on adjoining properties in the Township’s possession. If the information supplied is not sufficient to render an accurate survey, GPI will make all reasonable efforts in accordance with the industry standard of care, to obtain additional required information. If, as a result of these efforts, not enough information is found to prepare a boundary survey, or if a title search is not supplied, or if ambiguous or clouded title areas are found, the Township will be notified in writing of the various options for proceeding with the project. These options may consist of additional fees necessary by either GPI, a title search consultant, attorneys, or other expert professionals to further research subject and adjoiner deeds, investigate the chain of title, trace ownership to original cloth, identify easements, or other services pertaining to the specific problem related to the project. Our firm does not provide title search services; therefore, boundary surveying services offered herein will be subject to such facts as a complete title search might disclose. 3. Map the location of wetland flags and depict the locations of the associated buffers, FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area Zone lines, and riparian zones on the Survey plan. 4. Depict the horizontal limits of the tree canopy encompassing Crystal Lake. 5. Collect sufficient topographic information in the improved area of the OSPAC for the design of curb ramps and ADA accessible areas. Page | 1
