CITY OF WATERLOO
RECONSTRUCTION OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE
FROM MIDWAY DRIVE TO U.S. 63
EXHIBIT A
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of preliminary and final design for reconstruction of University Avenue
from Midway Drive to U.S. 63 in accordance with the concept report prepared by AECOM in
2010 and the Environmental Assessment prepared by the Iowa DOT in 2013, in addition to
conceptual updates completed by AECOM and City staff in recent years.
The following roadway elements are included in the construction project:
• Construction of 4 -lane University Avenue from Midway Drive to just west of the
intersection with U.S. Highway 63
• New or modified traffic signals at eight intersections:
o Fletcher Avenue
o Ansborough Avenue
o Sager Avenue
o Falls Avenue
o Frontage Road (Near Perkins/Casey's)
o Tunis Drive
o Progress Street
o Midway Drive
• Reconfiguration of Tunis Drive intersection
• Sidewalk and/or recreational trail along entire length of project
• Replacement of bridge over recreational trail with pedestrian tunnel
• Sanitary sewer relocations and/or reconstruction
• New storm sewer system designed for a 10 -year storm event (if downstream
capacity allows)
• Continuous lighting along University Avenue
• Construction staging plan to maintain University Avenue traffic during construction
• Utility coordination
The following roadway elements are not included in the construction project:
• Side roads beyond the immediate intersection with University Avenue
• Additional traffic signal installations (beyond those listed above)
• Streetscaping/enhancements beyond the noted pedestrian accommodations and
lighting indicated above (should funding become available, enhancement elements
could be included as a supplemental agreement)
B. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Services to be provided under this agreement will include preliminary and final design,
including the preparation of the preliminary design plans and final construction documents
and related activities for the described project. It is anticipated that the final construction
plans will be combined into two construction contracts to be let through the City of Waterloo
letting process. Significant changes in the packaging of construction contracts will be
considered as additional services to this scope. The scope of construction -related services
will be determined at the time the services are needed and defined under a future
amendment to this agreement. The design Scope of Services is described in more detail as
follows:
Survey and Base Mapping
The tasks included under this category include field surveys, base mapping, property
surveys, utility calls and locating soil borings as required to complete the final design phase
of the project. AECOM will utilize existing survey data available from the Iowa DOT to
supplement new survey work. These tasks also include development of base mapping for
use throughout the duration of the project.
1. Supplemental Design Survey and Project Control
2. Property Surveys
3. Utility Locates, Including Storm Sewer and Sanitary Sewer Flow Line Elevation
Surveys
4. Locate Soil Borings
5. Base Mapping
Soil Borings and Geotechnical Engineering
The soil borings and geotechnical engineering activities will be completed by Terracon
Consultants. The scope of geotechnical engineering activities is intended to provide the
necessary design recommendations for the grading and paving for the project. The
following tasks are included in this scope:
6. Soil Borings. Soil borings will be obtained to determine the subsurface conditions in
the corridor. The number and depth of borings, as well as the number and type of
samples obtained, will be sufficient to complete the geotechnical engineering and
recommendations for the project. It is anticipated that soil borings will be obtained
at approximate 200 -foot intervals throughout the corridor length in addition to three
borings obtained for the pedestrian crossing for the Sergeant Road Trail.
7. Geotechnical Engineering, Report and Recommendations. The geotechnical
engineering will include the necessary laboratory testing, classifications and
geotechnical engineering analysis required to develop the final geotechnical
engineering recommendations for the project.
The purpose of this task is to obtain data regarding the subsurface conditions relating to
pavement support, earthwork and subsurface drainage. This task will also include the final
pavement thickness design and subgrade treatment recommendations for University
Avenue and the side streets.
In addition to the soil borings and laboratory testing, the geotechnical engineering and
CADD services under this task will include:
• Computer -Generated Boring Logs
• Preparation of Recommendations for Subgrade Treatment
• Pavement Thickness Design and Subgrade/Subbase Preparation
Recommendations
• One Report Summarizing the Information Reviewed, Conditions Encountered,
Analyses Performed and Recommendations
If safety allows, the boreholes will be left open for approximately 1 to 2 days after completion of
drilling so delayed water levels can be observed.
The client should understand that some settlement of the borehole backfill might occur. No future
maintenance or filling of the holes are included in this scope. This scope is also based on the
field exploration being performed without the need for personal protective equipment beyond
Level D (hard hat, steel -toe boots, and safety glasses). If personal protective equipment or
special borehole sealing procedures become necessary, these tasks will be added by
supplemental agreement.
Excluded from this estimate are borrow site selection and borrow design.
Deliverables will consist of a boring layout plan, boring logs and Geotechnical Engineering
Report. The final report will be sealed by an Iowa Licensed Professional Engineer.
Environmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous materials or
conditions is not included in this scope. Items to be provided by the client include the legal right -
of -entry (owner permission) to conduct the exploration. Terracon will contact Iowa "One Call"
service to locate public utilities.
University Avenue Corridor Conceptual Review
Prior to development of preliminary plans, a review of the reconstruction concepts for the corridor
will be completed. This conceptual review will assist the City in planning for the construction of
the project, in addition to assisting in possible additional funding resource opportunities. The
concept reviews will include the following items:
8. Storm Sewer Review - Conceptual Design Report. The existing storm sewer system will
be reviewed to determine areas that have existing capacity issues. This review will also
examine the overall drainage pattems for the area and develop concepts for handling
drainage that passes through the University Avenue corridor. A conceptual design report
will be prepared outlining proposed improvements.
9. Intersection Configuration Review. The intersections along University Avenue will be
reviewed to determine the optimum traffic control and lane configuration for each
intersection. This includes a review of intersection layouts, including a review of
roundabout intersections. Previously completed traffic studies will be reviewed to
develop the alternative configurations.
10. Complete Streets Review. The University Avenue corridor will be reviewed to determine
areas that can incorporate complete street concepts, including pedestrian and bicycle
accommodation locations, bus/transit accommodation and future streetscaping elements.
11. Sanitary Sewer Review. The existing sanitary sewer system will be reviewed to
determine the need to repair/replace existing sewer lines as part of the overall project.
12. Grant/Funding Assistance. AECOM will assist the City of Waterloo in preparation of
grants and funding applications. It is anticipated this task will include preparation of cost
estimates and graphics for inclusion in these applications. The extent of this task is
represented by the estimated hours assigned to the task.
13. Value Engineering. AECOM will assist the City of Waterloo in review of the conceptual
plans provided in the Iowa DOT Environmental Assessment and examine alternatives to
reduce the overall construction cost for the project.
14. Project Staging and Cost Planning. AECOM will assist the City of Waterloo in
developing a master plan schedule for the reconstruction of University Avenue.
This task will also include assisting the City in budgeting costs for the reconstruction
and reviewing the City's available funding throughout the project.
