Common use of Preliminary Engineering Phase Clause in Contracts

Preliminary Engineering Phase. A Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) shall serve as a summary document that incorporates the recommendations from the supporting investigative reports, results from working meetings with Fort Bend County, necessary approvals and final recommendations from the Consultant's efforts. The document will serve as the framework for the design phase, having addressed the major issues that affect the roadway design and supporting infrastructure. The Preliminary Engineering Phase shall include the preparation and approval of reports necessary to support the recommendations and design of the roadway and all appurtenances included, but not limited to, Geotechnical Investigations, Hydrology and Hydraulic Analysis, including a drainage report. Environmental Site Assessments, Wetlands Assessment, Delineation, Concurrence/Permitting and associated tasks will be performed by others. A schematic layout showing the proposed improvements for the Roadway will be prepared for the preliminary meeting followed by the Preliminary Construction Plans. The Preliminary Engineering Report will be in accordance with the requirements stated in the Mobility Design Manual. Proposed Roadway geometry will be evaluated and the preliminary alternatives for the alignment and Proposed Right-of-Way (ROW) Acquisition will be presented to Fort Bend County during the preliminary stages of the PER. The Preliminary Engineering Phase shall include working meetings with Fort Bend County and other consultants/sub-consultants and a drainage meeting with Fort Bend County Drainage District prior to submitting the draft Drainage Report for the project. During this phase Topographic Survey will be performed and the existing conditions will be evaluated including roadway geometrics, soils, traffic and environmental conditions. In addition, during this phase parcels should be defined. Utility companies within the project limits will be contacted and coordinated for obtaining the facility maps and record drawings available and a contact list for the utility companies and a Utility Conflict Table will be prepared. Roadway Schematics and Aerial Exhibits will be prepared for review. There is an existing 8-inch water line appears to be located along north ROW of W. Sycamore between S. Post Oak and Kansas Street. Also, it appears that there is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer located along north ROW of W. Sycamore between Halliburton facility and Kansas Street. Coordination will be made with Fort Bend County Fresh Water Supply Distt. #1 (FBCFWS #1) for relocation and approval process and recommendations/options will be provided in PER.

The coordination shall include: o Perform records research and field visits to determine the presence of underground or overhead private or public utilities during the Preliminary Design phase. A reasonable amount of research should be conducted, including but not limited to contact with companies identified on above- ground markers, Railroad Commission website research, and map requests from prominent companies (i.e. CenterPoint Energy, AT&T, etc.). o Level B SUE: Identify all existing utilities within the existing and proposed rights-of-way. Provide list of existing utilities with owner and contact information. Coordinate with the utility companies and provide information and schematics as necessary. o Send records requests to utility companies and obtain I.D. numbers (CenterPoint and AT&T). o Identify any utilities that are within dedicated easements that will be within the proposed right-of-way. o Prepare a conflict table during the Preliminary Design phase to highlight conflicts. The table shall include given ID number for the potential conflicts, stations along the centerline for the utilities and for crossings, the owner of the utility, contact name, address, phone number, and email address, any notes such as it may be in possible conflict. • Sight Distance o The consultant shall investigate sight distance restrictions and general operating conditions of all existing and proposed intersections along West Sycamore Road within the project limits. o Sight distance restrictions will be investigated, and Approach and Departure Site Triangles will be developed for the intersections for determining the safe passing distance and stopping sight distance for the traffic.
