Township of West Orange Department of Engineering Land Surveying and Civil Engineering Services – O’Connor Memorial Park Reconstruction Project Section II – Professional Information O’Connor Park, a park located in the Township, is set to significantly benefit from proposed improvements to this vital recreational resource. The planned enhancements aim to boost community engagement, expand sports programming, and improve both accessibility and safety for the local community. Based on our review of the Scope of Services, Boswell, Inc. has a full understanding of all work necessary and looks forward to providing our myriad of Land Surveying and Civil engineering services to the Township. It is understood that the Township intends to improve various recreational features within O’Connor Memorial Park, including the hockey rink, handball, pickleball, and basketball courts. It is also noted that plans include aesthetic and functional upgrades, such as lighting, fencing, drainage and related site improvements, for instance, moving the scoreboard to maximize efficiency and visual appeal. Boswell has reviewed all provided documents, including tax maps, previous plans, and NJ Geoweb data, to ensure our thorough understanding of the site conditions and project scope. Scope of Services The complete scope will include land surveying, civil engineering design, permit application, public bid assistance, and construction administration in accordance with NJDOT and HUD standards and will be executed with a collaborative, transparent, and schedule-conscious methodology. Boswell will provide land surveying and civil engineering services to commensurate with the needs of the Township. These services include but are not limited to the following: 1. Land Surveying Services Boswell will perform a topographic survey of the handball and basketball courts and the hockey consisting of approximately one (1) acre. The survey limits will extend a minimum of 10 feet beyond the northerly and westerly sides of the courts and rink. The survey will adequately depict existing surface features, including, but not limited to, curbs, edge of pavement, fences, visible utilities and utility mark-outs (by others). Boswell will also perform field surveying of all drainage and sanitary facilities within the immediate vicinity of the project site obtaining approximate pipe sizes and pipe elevations

ts (by others). Boswell will also perform field surveying of all drainage and sanitary facilities within the immediate vicinity of the project site obtaining approximate pipe sizes and pipe elevations from above ground. This proposal does not include entering confined space for exact measurements. Contours will be established at one-foot intervals for design purposes with spot grades at highpoints, low points and breaks in grade. Boswell will perform the necessary field surveying to locate property corners and other items which may indicate lines of possession, perform land records research, and perform an analysis comparing recorded data to field locations. The boundary of the subject properties will be based upon the current deed(s) of record, if available, adjoining deeds, and maps on file with the Essex County Clerk’s Office. The horizontal datum of North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and the vertical datum of North American Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) will be established by means of GNSS/RTK surveying utilizing the SmartNet North America Network. A bench mark will be set and properly identified within the project limits in an area to be unaffected by construction, and will be tied to physical features. 2. Civil Engineering Services Boswell’s licensed civil engineering team will deliver a comprehensive set of design and bid documents to support the successful implementation of the park improvements. Our scope will include the preparation of three (3) fullcolor renderings to aid in visualization, and the design of site-specific improvements, such as stormwater management and drainage systems appropriate for a minor development. Boswell will provide detailed design plans for the rehabilitation and enhancement of the hockey rink, handball, pickleball, and basketball courts, including upgrades to perimeter fencing, retrofitting existing Musco lighting, relocation of the scoreboard, and installation of HMA walkways. Additional design considerations will address bleacher installation and associated drainage improvements. The full plan set will consist of a Cover Sheet, Existing Conditions/Survey Control Plan, Demolition Page 4
