1 ` _ Civil/Environmental Engineering `\ 1 RFQ#12-04-02 1 w' for personnel. ECT-City kick-off meeting participants will typically consist of City staff, ECT's pro- ject manager and possibly key ECT project personnel, and in some cases subcontractor per- sonnel and/or third-party stakeholders. A typical agenda for a project kick-off meeting will gen- erally include, as examples, the following kinds of topics: • Introductions as needed. • ECT project manager brief review of project scope, schedule and budget. • ECT project manager summary of project milestones and deliverables. 1 • City project manager clarification of desired protocols for project communications and points of contact. 1 • As applicable, discussion of client preferences regarding design standards, design alter- natives, and construction materials. • Any unusual project conditions and critical success factors—i.e., what is essential to client satisfaction and what will constitute"success" on this project. Project Performance 1 ECT will perform the authorized scope of services and will prepare associated deliverables as outlined in the approved Work Order/Purchase Order. As an example, the following outline is fairly typical of the progression of steps commonly included in a scope of services for a storm- 1 water engineering project, which may for example include design and permitting of a drainage network, lift station and forcemain, and/or stormwater management facilities: • Conduct a detailed desktop analysis of site-specific information for the project area, such as is commonly obtained from such sources such as City and County GIS databases, the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory ' online mapping tool, FDEP's LABINS website, the local Property Appraiser's website and other public databases. • Evaluate existing conditions within the project area—typically this is done through initial 1 visits by ECT engineers and scientists making onsite evaluations, and through land sur- vey activities and geotechnical investigations by applicable subcontractors. • Evaluate site-specific project constraints (e.g., land use/zoning issues, property ownership 1 issues, possible presence of wetlands, listed species/habitat issues, severe slopes, etc.) and/or hindrances to project completion. • Develop and evaluate conceptual alternative design solutions and prepare a preliminary 1 engineering design. Initial modeling of hydraulics and hydrology, and/or feasibility studies with multiple alternatives may be appropriate for some projects at this stage. • Hold pre-application agency meetings to review the selected preliminary design, as ap- propriate based on types of permits required, project technical or administrative complexi- ty, site conditions, etc. • For some projects, it may be appropriate to hold public outreach events (e.g., neighbor- hood or area-wide open house)and third-party stakeholder meetings. • Adjust preliminary design and revisit agency pre-application meetings if appropriate. • Obtain planning level project approvals as needed. • Prepare final engineering design, specifications, and permitting documents. Hold addi- tional pre-application meetings to review project concept changes implemented during the final design process, if appropriate. Environmental 29 Consulting nrc.
