This proposal will outline our recommendation for inspection activities for the project, proposed scope of services, schedule and the level of coverage anticipated. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The Vista Grande CDBG ADA project includes six access ramps that are located near an elementary school that will present traffic control challenges during the construction. The work will be concentrated at the intersections but still subject to intermittent access issues. It will be important to ensure the contractor provides adequate traffic control and access during work hours. The following activities are recommended to manage the ramp construction: • Adequate BMP installations to control surface water and construction debris. • Site and construction inspection on a part time basis including daily reports • Construction staking • As built drawings in CAD and in PDF The contract time for the ramp project is 15 working days. I believe the number of days that will require inspection will probably be 12 or so and even then, most of the days would require something less than full time inspection. Therefore, the inspection time estimated to establish a budget for the actual inspection of the project is 12 days at 5 - 6 hours per day. I plan to be the designated inspector as I have a good overall knowledge of the issues to be addressed and am very familiar with the project site. Construction surveys will be needed and are part of this proposal. An estimated 12 hours are anticipated to complete the various staking elements and are included in the estimated fee. These hours may be kept separate from this authorization if desired by the City. Merit Civil Engineering, Inc.
