Gregory Avenue and Lowell Avenue Safe Routes to School Preliminary Engineering, Final Design, and Construction Engineering Services Page 10 Preliminary Engineering – Scope of Work 10. PRE-CONSTRUCTION a. Develop Preliminary Detour and Construction Staging Plans (3130) STV will develop preliminary detour and construction staging plans. For detour plans, the plans will display the anticipated detour routes, detour lengths and associated travel times. For staging plans, a construction narrative will be prepared depicting the number of stages and phases involved, and how the Maintenance and Protection of Traffic (MPT) will be managed. Traffic control standard details will be used and if necessary, staging plans will be prepared. STV will also confirm whether any portion of the construction activities would require a detour for pedestrian/bicyclist traffic. STV will coordinate with local officials to obtain concurrence with the detour and/or staging plan. b. Prepare Construction Cost Estimate (3135) Under this task, STV will estimate the construction cost for the proposed improvements. This includes computing quantities of work items and researching unit prices appropriate for this project. As part of the cost estimate, STV will identify and evaluate any special conditions specific to this project that could impact the unit price or total cost for a particular element of the construction. Such conditions include work area, utility impacts, material supply, and/or time restrictions. STV will prepare the Construction Cost Estimate utilizing the plans developed during the preliminary engineering activities. 11. ENVIRONMENTAL a. Prepare Categorical Exclusion Document (CED) (3870) STV will assist NJDOT in the assessment of the project impacts and risks with respect to each environmental discipline (Noise, Air Quality, Ecology, Cultural Resources, Section 4(f), Hazardous Waste, Socio-economic and Environmental Justice). STV will complete Section I and Section II of the CED and submit to BEPR for review and completion.
