Common use of Preliminary Engineering Clause in Contracts

Preliminary Engineering. The Preliminary Engineering effort from the iGET team will consist of - Initiation of project setup - Gathering existing information, performing site visits - Coordination with government agencies and jurisdictional determination; identifying necessary permits, easements and agreements from USACE, TCEQ, FEMA, Gulf Coast Water Authority, HOA’s, etc. - Identifying and defining conflicts, evaluating alternate design concepts - Preparing general vicinity maps and schematics, quantities and construction cost estimates - Preparing a Preliminary Engineering Report A detailed review of the site conditions for this project, the geotech assessments, the watershed characterization, stream conditions assessments, flow analysis, study of the terrain where silting/ scouring is evident, the existing ROW, gorges and pools which are evident in the field, and obstructions to the natural flow due to reduced capacity of the channel, will be considered in a systematic fashion to evaluate channel improvement concepts using Lined and Natural Channel Designs. iGET will evaluate alternative design options for using traditional Riprap or Concrete lining for stabilizing the banks of the Channel sections. Use of bio-stabilization techniques and earth-reinforcement using geo-grid will be evaluated in opportune areas. The design approach in the selected areas will be focused to: (1) address and mitigate the bottlenecks to flow, (2) manage flooding from the design storms, and (3) achieve cost savings. The Bio-Stabilization expertise with iGET is a proven low-impact-development method to rehabilitate channels, and it is effectively implemented in multiple locations in the State of Texas, including on the White Oak Bayou tributary in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, and Trinity river in the Dallas Fort Worth area. The scope of Surveying services included in the attached proposal from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Engineering & Surveying will be in accordance with the Fort Bend County Drainage District Surveying Guidelines. Scope of Geotech investigations attached to this proposal will be performed by Terracon Consultants Inc., After completion of Preliminary Engineering and the necessary reviews, the project will progress to Design Phase Services. iGET will accomplish the Channel improvement design by teaming with Subconsultants for refining Geotechnical assessments, and for performing Surveys as needed. The design scope, including Hydrology and Hydraulics studies, Environmental Engineering services, Geomorphic analysis (if and as needed), and Bio-Technical stabilization if applied, will be performed by iGET. iGET proposes to provide professional engineering services for the Preliminary Engineering for a total fee of $260,383 with the following cost break-down. Descriptions of these Basic and Additional Services are provided in Appendix A and Appendix B:
