Summary of Specifications:
The selected consultant for this project shall, at a minimum, perform the following work activities: • Review applicable background materials, including grant submittal and award information, and specific MDOT and SHPO programming and project submittal requirements. • Prepare construction drawings for all work in AutoCAD 2014 or 2015 format from City of Monroe base survey data. Base topographic survey data will be provided in AutoCAD 2014 or 2015 format from the City of Monroe no later than January 20, 2015 and will include features from back of curb to building front on the east side of the roadway and back of curb to east sidewalk line on the west side of the roadway. Any additional survey data that may be required or desired by the consultant during the course of design will be obtained and provided by the City of Monroe upon request. Survey limits for the project will be from the north curb line of Elm Avenue to the south curb line of Willow Street. Top of curb, door tread, and any other features in between that are relevant to the expected design will be collected by City of Monroe staff as a part of this survey. Plans shall generally be to scale of 1 inch equals 10 feet to show appropriate detail, and shall include any necessary detail views and other plan sheets as required by MDOT or those customarily associated with a project of this type. • Prepare any necessary special provisions, maintaining traffic plan, progress schedule, utility coordination clause, and the like, for incorporation into the MDOT bid package. • Recommend appropriate street tree species, size, and caliper to be installed, and determine appropriate locations along the corridor. Tree installation and maintenance (watering and cultivating) shall be included in the bid documents. • Coordinate with DTE Energy on removal of existing poles, removal of existing and installation of new wiring, and installation of new decorative poles with LED fixtures, as necessary for complete and seamless integration into the overall construction contract. Obtain agreement from DTE and incorporate into force account programming for overall project. DTE present contact is Reginald Brown and he has been made aware of this project on December 1. • Make contact with adjacent property owners, particularly on the east side of the roadway, to determine building access needs and extent of sidewalk modifications. Prepare any necessary grading permits for signatures by the City of Monroe and property owner in advance of the programming deadlines for MDOT. • Prepare right-of-way permit application and submit to MDOT Brighton office. • Prepare documents for Section 106 review and submit to SHPO. Note that the City of Monroe Historic Preservation Planner will provide specific research assistance on particular properties as needed. This submittal will likely need to occur prior to the grade inspection submittal to MDOT due to typical review time frames. • Make any necessary revisions to the above for resubmittal to MDOT in order to meet bid letting timelines. • Perform any other work normally associated with a project of this type.
