Gregory Avenue and Lowell Avenue Safe Routes to School Preliminary Engineering, Final Design, and Construction Engineering Services Page 9 Preliminary Engineering – Scope of Work proposal. b. Prepare Utility Base Plans (3035) STV will prepare the utility base plans from field survey data to show existing surface utility facilities. These plans are the base plans for the development of the Utility Relocation Plan. c. Establish Utility Engineering Funding (3040) STV will coordinate with the utility providers to discuss the proposed improvements which could impact their facilities and request a cost estimate from the utility companies for their engineering services. STV will provide the latest utility cost estimate to the RC and team. If no preliminary engineering estimate is received, an anticipated utility design estimate is projected by STV for the corresponding utility company. d. Send Utility Verification Request Letter (3045) STV will prepare and send out this letter to all utility companies for final verification to confirm the existence of their facilities and their locations. Included with the letter will be the utility base plan. The utility providers will mark up the plans to verify their facilities (if any) and add type, size, depth and any operational restrictions to the base plan and return one (1) set to STV. Copies of the letters and plans will be forwarded to the RC and team. e. Prepare Utility Agreement (3050, 3060) STV will prepare a utility agreement and send to the utility companies for execution. Once the agreements are approved by West Orange, the agreement will be returned to the utility companies. f. Conduct Subsurface Utility Engineering (3080) (AmerCom) Upon the performance of due diligence and the development of the subsurface utility engineering (SUE) plan, SUE will be conducted by STV’s subconsultant AmerCom in order to determine the exact location of underground utilities. Depending upon the type of utility and potential design conflict, several SUE methods will be utilized. In locations where only

e exact location of underground utilities. Depending upon the type of utility and potential design conflict, several SUE methods will be utilized. In locations where only horizontal location is needed, underground utilities may be located remotely using ground penetrating radar (GPR), metal detectors or similar devices. These methods will not provide utility depth. If depths of utilities are needed, we will retain a qualified contractor to excavate subsurface test pits. Utility mark-outs will be called out and performed as part of this task. Test pits will not be required to locate every utility and will only be used in locating utilities that have a potential conflict. Prior to conducting SUE test pits, STV will coordinate with any and all relevant utility companies regarding any previous SUE test pits that may have been performed for the conflict area and whether vertical data exists. Prior to conducting the SUE test pits, STV will seek approval of the plan from the RC and team and coordinate investigative site work in advance as necessary. Please see attached AmerCom’s scope of work and cost estimate. g. Utility Risk Assessment (3985) STV will assess the utility risks and identify potential conflicts. SUE will verify the locations of the facilities. STV will update the design plans to avoid impacts to the utilities. If utility impacts are unavoidable, STV will identify the conflicts and coordinate with the utility companies.
