RE: Proposal for Civil Engineering & Land Surveying Services
Waterloo Airport Industrial Park
Waterloo, Iowa
Dear Noel:
CGA is pleased to submit our proposed scope of services to provide Civil Engineering and Land Surveying Services
for the proposed Airport Industrial Park In Waterloo, Iowa. We have enjoyed working with the City of Waterloo and
look forward to working with you again on this project.
Scope of Services
The scope of services, based on our meeting on 8-18-16, shall be as follows:
Task 1. Planning and Project Development
a) Site Boundary and Topographical Survey— CGA shall provide boundary and topographical surveying
services for the proposed 380 acre Project Site depicted on Attachment'['. The boundary survey shall be
prepared on the property Indicated on Attachment'C' as "FAA Released" and the property Indicated as
"Possible Future FAA Released Land". A separate plat of survey required by FAA for the release of the
clear zone property shall be prepared under Task 3 — Release of Current Clear Zone Property from Runway
6.24. The City shall provide CGA with the Deed of Release and any associated plats of survey for the
parcels identified as "FAA Released". The limits of the topographic survey shall be approximately 100'
outside of the limits of the Project Site. This will also Include a topographical survey of Leversee Road
along the western boundary, and the existing rail line along the southern boundary. The topographic
survey will Include ground shots on grid and elevation breaks, top of rail, edge of pavements, signs and
other observable above ground features. Existing utility Information will typically be located and shown
on the drawing In accordance with Utility Quality Level C- location of observable utilities and those
Identified through the Iowa One -Call process. Storm and sanitary structures will be located with the type,
size, and invert elevations. CGA will be responsible for contacting Iowa One -call and coordinating location
activities.
The boundary survey and topographical survey of critical features shall be performed initially, with the
majority of the open field topography supplemented with LIDAR in order to begin the Conceptual Layout
process outlined In the next task.
b) Coordination of Runway 6-24 Closure — CGA shall coordinate with the Waterloo Airport Board of
Directors, Waterloo Airport staff, City of Waterloo staff and the FAA in order to facilitate the construction
of the rail and other infrastructure within the current Clear Zone for Runway 6-24. CGA will prepare
exhibits required by Waterloo Airport Board of Directors, City of Waterloo City Council, and the FAA as

needed for the Runway 6-24 closure. A redline of the current ALP Plan sheets will be provided to the FAA
that illustrates Runway 6-24 closure. An effort will be niade to temporarily close Runway 6-24, prior to
permanent closure, in order to phase the development of the proposed cornmercial and ndustrial park.
c) Release of Current Clear Zone Propertv Runway 6-24 - CGA shall prepare and submit to the EAA required
documentation to release the land shown n Attachment 'C' as "Possible Future FAA Released Land" Tbis
will include a redline of the current ALP Airport Property Map plan sheets and a land appraisal in
accordance with tlie Unlforrn Appraisal Standards for Federal land Acquisition as required by the FAA.
Additionally, a plat of survey for the released parcel will be prepared and provided to the FAA as part of
the required documentation.
d) Conceptual Lavout - CGA shall prepare a conceptual commercial and industrial park layout af the entire
380 acre Project Site. The conceptual layout will also take into account proposed rail alignrnents, storm
water management outlined below, and sanitary and water main extensions. CGA shall work in close
coordination with the City of Waterloo staif, Standard Distribution, CN, ViaRail, Waterloo Regional Airport
authorities, the FAA and other departments and stakeholders during the developrnent of the Conceptual
Layout,
e) Storm Water Management Plan - CGA shall prepare a storm water management plan for the city's review
and approval. This plan wIll include a sumrnary, site characteristics, runoff analysis, storm water
conveyance and management design, emergency overflow description and design, sub -catchment
schematics, storm sewer calcu!ations and hydrograph routing. The storm water management plan will
recommend either regional detention facilities constructed with the initial roadway improvement, on-site
detention facilities to be designed and constructed as private development occurs, or a combination of
both. This plan will also take into consideration irnpacts to the airport, such as minimizing wildlife
attractants.
f) Preliminarv Plat - Upon approval of a Conceptual Layout and Storm Water Managernent Plan, CGA shall
prepare a Prelirninary Plat in accordance with Section 11-3-2 of the Subdivision Ordinance for use by city
staif during the Preliminary Plat review and approval process.
g) General Planning, Development, and Meetjngs - CGA shall work in close coordination with the City of
Waterloo staff, Standard Distribution, 04, the City's designated rail design consultant, Waterloo Regional
Airport authorities, and other departments and stakeholders during the planning and development phases
of the project. This will include development meetlngs, plan review meetings, and other typical forms of
correspondence. A preliminary schedule will also be prepared in coordination with the City outlining the
various benchmarks throughout the design and bid letting phase. CGA shall present the planning and design
docurnentation prepared by CGA for review at the City Council meetings, work sessions, or other meetings
if required.
Task 2. �es!gn Services
a) Construction Docurnents - CGA shall prepare design drawings to nclude the following plan sheets: title
sheet; estimate of quantities and specification reference information; standard details; existing conditions,
demolition & traffic control; typical street sections; street plan/profile; detailed grading at existing Street
tie-in locations; rail embankment design; borrow/waste site grading; utility crossings layout; storm sewer
planfprofile; sanitary sewer plan/profile; water main plan/profile; storniwater managenient; pavement
jointing; striping & signage; swppp; sewer and earthwork tabulations; and street cross-sections,
The exact scope of final design is not yet known at this polnt. For purposes of thls scope of services and
basis for estimated design fees CGA shall assume that this will include approxirnately 2,000 LE of roadway
design with related utility extensions, and approxirnately 4,000 LF of rail embankment design. This scope
will also assume a gravity sanitary sewer design to serve the proposed site. A scope and fee adjustment
may be required if the final site selected requires the design of a lift station and force main, or if the
scale/scope of the design changes.
A site geotechnical investigation and report Is not Included in this scope. If it is determined that a
geotechincial report should he performed for this project, CGA shall assist the City in requesting proposals
from qualified geotechnical engineering firms.
b) SWPPP — CGA shall prepare and submit the SWPPP documentation to the Iowa DNR and the City of
Waterloo. This will include preparation and submittal of the Notice of Intent for the NPDES General Permit

estimate of quantities and engineer's opinion of probable cost.
d) Offsite Easements — CGA shall coordinate with Standard Distribution and the City of Waterloo in obtaining
a sanitary sewer easement for the sanitary sewer extension through private property. CGA shall prepare
the temporary construction and permanent sewer easement for the City's use in obtaining said easements.
e) Project Specifications and Bidding Phase Consultation — CGA shall prepare the project specifications in a
format acceptable to the City of Waterloo. Included in the project specifications are the following:
engineer's certification; notice of public hearing; notice to bidders; instruction to bidders; special
provisions; standard specifications; and supplemental plans and specifications. The City of Waterloo shall

f) Final Plat—CGA shall prepare a Final Plat per City of Waterloo ordinance for the Standard Distribution site,
as well as the lots served by the proposed infrastructure in this scope. This Item assumes up to four lots
created and platted under this task.
The scope and fee In Task 2 may be amended at the request of either CGA or the City of Waterloo once the
final design parameters are determined.
Fee

ApproximateTask
Task 1—Planning & Project Development $114,500
Task 2 — Design Services $74,200
Total Not to Exceed $188,700
