Luddington Road Sidewalk Panel Replacement Scope of Work The Request for Proposals (RFP) sets forth the required work to be performed. We have reviewed the RFP, visited the site, and we believe we have a clear understanding of the goals of this project. This proposal is intended to be fully responsive to the RFP. The following tasks include our approach to completing the project. The Scope of work will consist of the following tasks: 1. Surveying Services Field surveying and base mapping will be performed to detail all planimetric features and right-of-way information pertinent to the preparation of the construction plans for the sidewalk panel replacement. All survey work will be done in accordance with West Orange and NJDOT standards. A. Topographic Survey GPI will conduct a survey of existing features, including existing roadway elements, drainage structures, fences, signs, trees, shrubs, walls, driveways, sidewalks, steps, service walks, grade elevations, and utilities, from visible above-ground observation. Station and offset from the centerline to existing drainage structures will be shown on the plan. The type of structure, type of casting, size, and types of pipes entering the structure and inverts on all pipes will be recovered by field survey. The survey limits will extend a sufficient distance for design purposes. The limits of detailed planimetric and topographic coverage will extend along Luddington Road for 100’ east and west of the sidewalk replacement limits and 50' from the roadway centerline on each side. Contours will be shown at 1' intervals. Individual trees and specimen shrubs will be located within the immediate vicinity of the project area. B. Establish Roadway Right-of-Way Existing roadway right-of-way and property lines will be determined through research of deeds and maps, as well as field surveys of existing evidence. Front property corners will be located along the roadway extending 100’ east and 100’ west of the sidewalk limits. C. Establish Horizontal Control We will establish control points as necessary to reference the project baseline. Horizontal control will be tied to the New Jersey Plane Coordinate System (NJSPC) NAD 83.

Control We will establish control points as necessary to reference the project baseline. Horizontal control will be tied to the New Jersey Plane Coordinate System (NJSPC) NAD 83. Vertical control will be tied to the North American Vertical Datum (NAVD 1988). D. Benchmarks Three (3) benchmarks will be established at a minimum on each side of the sidewalk for the Contractor's reference during construction. E. Existing Conditions/Survey Control Plan We will prepare an Existing Conditions and Survey Control Plan detailing all planimetric features and right-of-way at the project site for Township review. All comments received following the review will be incorporated, and a final, signed, and sealed Existing Conditions and Survey Control Point Plan will be submitted to the Township. Base mapping CADD files will be provided to the Township following completion of the contract documents. F. Utilities GPI will prepare preliminary utility base mapping and submit utility coordination requests to all utility companies with facilities in West Orange Township. All information shown on the plans for underground utilities will be as provided by the utility Page | 2
