ATTACHMENT A
Scope of Services
We will provide the following scope of services, performed by Ament Design in accordance with generally
accepted standards of practice and including the services and supplies necessary to perform the tasks
listed below.
The intent of this Scope of Services is to develop Contract Documents including plans, specifications,
and opinions of anticipated construction cost. Contract Documents will include sufficient information for
the Contractor to route and install fiber optic interconnect cable and will include features such as existing
traffic signal cabinets, general routing of fiber optic cable, typical splice diagrams, new conduit details
where existing conduit will not be used, locations and details of connections to the existing fiber optic
network, typical fiber optic in -ground boxes (handholes), typical fiber optic above -ground add -on splice
boxes, fiber optic switches, traffic monitoring camera types and specifications, etc. The Contract
Documents are intended to provide adequate information and framework to allow the successful Project
bidder to complete the Project and construct the proposed Project improvements with leeway to adjust
fiber optic cable routing. The Project will be let by the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT). Iowa
DOT guidelines for Local Public Agency (LPA) and State -let projects pertinent to SWAP funding apply.
The Project involves: project management; utility coordination; research and data collection including
design field reviews; design; preparation of Contract Documents (initial, check, and final plans,
specifications, cost opinions); and contractor procurement services. The following provides a description
of the tasks to be performed and identification of the proposed work.
Project Management
It is understood by the Owner (Client) and the Engineer (Ament Design) that the level and frequency of
progress reporting shall be mutually established for each project and shall be based on the complexity
and duration of the work to be performed. For this specific Project, it is agreed that progress reporting
will be provided on a monthly basis.
It is understood by the Owner and the Engineer that the task detail associated with the 85% budget
notification shall be mutually established for each project in relation to the complexity and duration of the
work to be performed. For this specific Project, it is agreed that all work contemplated in the Agreement
will be considered as one task(s). It is further agreed that the 85% budget notification requirements will
be waived for this Agreement based on the volume of work assigned, duration, complexity, and rate of
progress anticipated on the Project.
A. General Project Administration — This task involves tracking the Project design schedule and
monitoring the Project scope of services throughout the length of the design services phase. This will
be done to determine if the performance of the design services is in conformance with the Project
schedule and to identify needed services that are not included in the scope of the design services
contract. If the Project is not on schedule, Engineer will present an approach for bringing the Project
back on schedule. If additional services are needed, Engineer will make the Owner representative
aware of potential change orders to the design contract before the additional services are performed.
B. Project Team Kick -Off Meeting — This meeting shall include members of the Project Team (Engineer
and Owner). The goal of the meeting is to define and clarify the Owner's requirements for the
Project, to obtain available data, to develop a detailed project plan regarding data delivery and
format, and to discuss and clarify key project issues.

2. request that additional information be provided by the Owner and/or obtain clarification of
information that has been provided by the Owner,
3. identify issues that have developed during Project design, options to address these issues;
advantages and disadvantages of these options, and the option that Engineer recommends;
4. update the Project schedule, discuss Project progress, and notify the Owner whether the Project
is on schedule;
5. present an approach for bringing the Project back on schedule, if it is behind schedule; and

Owner.
This task also includes obtaining and reviewing plans and files denoting existing fiber
infrastructure; GIS databases of streets, signals, communications infrastructure, and other
facilities; right-of-way information; Owner IT standards; and a review of the traffic signal cabinet
inventory provided by the Owner.
3. Utility Research — This item includes research with the franchise utilities (gas, electric, telephone,
