Gregory Avenue and Lowell Avenue Safe Routes to School Preliminary Engineering, Final Design, and Construction Engineering Services Page 3 Preliminary Engineering – Scope of Work record incoming comments and provide responses to comments. 3. QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL A project specific Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC) plan will be implemented for this project through the following tasks: • Adherence to our Corporate Quality Assurance Plan (CQAP) and Project Specific QA/QC Plan • Assignment of appropriate staff for completion of the various tasks and quality reviews • Bi-weekly internal project status meetings The QA/QC team has the ability to work independently of the STV production/design team, so that quality control documents and other deliverables are of high quality. The QA/QC team will initially consult with the production/design team to establish major milestone reviews and will only participate during the QA/QC reviews to ensure they are examining the project objectively and following through on comments made by any reviewers. Subconsultants will be required to comply with STV’s Plan and submit their own QA/QC plan for inclusion in STV’s Plan. STV will maintain close coordination with subconsultants and will conduct periodic visits to monitor progress of their work to ensure compatibility with our work and compliance with assignment needs, scope, schedule, and budget. Internal project-specific reviews will be conducted and documented using STV’s own standard checklists for all submissions, in full compliance with NJDOT and federal standards and/or regulations. 4. INITIATE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING (3005) STV attend the kickoff meeting with the RC and team to discuss the scope of work of the project. STV will prepare the Meeting Minutes documenting the kickoff meeting. B. PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING 1. SURVEY a. Conduct Boundary and Topographic Survey (3020) (AmerCom) STV will develop base mapping which will include the utilization of As-Built plans, MrSID aerials, and best available LiDAR or digital elevation model

(3020) (AmerCom) STV will develop base mapping which will include the utilization of As-Built plans, MrSID aerials, and best available LiDAR or digital elevation model (DEM). This mapping will supplement the survey and may be utilized in presentation displays and materials. This level mapping will be used to determine the location of the proposed curbline such that ADA standards are adhered to with respect to sidewalk widths. This will also enable the project to be advanced while the comprehensive project survey is being developed. The preliminary engineering and final design will require topographic survey and mapping within the project area at the Gregory Elementary School neighborhood including the intersections of Lowell Avenue and Gregory Avenue with Lawrence Avenue, Helen Avenue, and Walker Road. This task will be conducted by STV’s subconsultant, AmerCom Corporation (AmerCom). For this task, STV will coordinate with AmerCom to determine the right-of-way (ROW) limits relative to existing improvements along the corridor, alignment of the existing curb-line, and cartway within the roadway, any and all encroachments, obstructions, abutting buildings and other items of concern or interest to full access the adequacy of the design needs and plan coverage. AmerCom’s Technical and Price proposals are provided with this proposal and are incorporated as part of this overall proposal. All work will be in accordance with the standards set forth in the Laws of the State of New Jersey Statutory Reference NJSA 45:8-28(e) and more specifically, the administrative rules and regulations promulgated by the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and contained in N.J.A.C. 13:40-5.1. Roadway cross-sections will be surveyed at 50-foot intervals, centerline intersections, changes of course, and any other critical locations, and will include
