WORK PLAN <br />If the assigned project has an aggressive project <br />schedule, ASL has the resources to establish more <br />than one project team to complete the work to meet <br />the proposed schedule. Experienced Project <br />Engineers who have extensive knowledge of City <br />requirements necessary for obtaining consensus and <br />approvals lead ASL's project team. <br />Through the use of frequent project team meetings, <br />conference telephone calls, FAX, e-mail and courier <br />service, the Project Manager will maintain daily <br />contact and supervision of the project team and <br />ensure that project resources are properly directed <br />and utilized where they are needed most to keep the <br />project on schedule and within budget. ASL has <br />used this work plan approach on typical public <br />infrastructure projects ranging in size from small <br />traffic signal modification projects to large freeway <br />interchange improvement projects. We encourage <br />you to contact our client references to verify our <br />success using this type of work plan. We are <br />confident their responses will be a testament to the <br />success of our approach. <br />PHASE I — DESIGN DEVELOPMENT <br />Task 00 — Project Administration, Meeting and <br />Coordination <br />Meet with the City staff and confirm the project scope, <br />establish key communication personnel, refine time <br />schedules and finalize design criteria. After review of <br />the process to be followed, agreement on the design <br />concept and schedule will be reached. This will avoid <br />confusion and delay later in the project development <br />process and facilitate timely review and approval of <br />submittals. <br />Meetings between the City and ASL will be held as <br />often as necessary to keep all parties informed, resolve <br />issues and successfully complete the project. Written <br />progress reports will be prepared monthly to assess <br />project progress, identify issues and outline planned <br />work tasks and submittals. <br />Task I -1 — Research/Data Collection/Utility <br />Coordination <br />ASL will obtain documentation available from the City <br />records pertaining to this project. We will assemble, sort <br />and review existing available information on the project <br />[:\prop99 \p283ii.doc 11 - 3 <br />area, including "as- built" plans, maps, studies, existing <br />right -of -way and utility information in order to become <br />familiar with the project, ascertain the completeness and <br />accuracy of available information and determine <br />additional information requirements. Field reviews and <br />survey checks will be made, as necessary, to verify that <br />existing information is correct. <br />The location and condition of surface- visible existing <br />utilities that will require adjustments to finish grade will <br />be identified and their adjustment discussed with the <br />respective owners. This work will be performed soon <br />after the Notice to Proceed is issued to ensure that <br />owners are given preliminary notification of possible <br />conflicts, which will provide them with additional time <br />to plan and program any relocation or adjustment work, <br />if required. <br />Affected utilities within the project limits will be <br />identified and shown on the plans. Preliminary and final <br />plans will be transmitted to the affected utility owners <br />for review and comment. Recommendations will be <br />made to the City and utility owners for potholing of <br />those facilities that may be in conflict with the proposed <br />improvements. <br />Task I -2 — Field Surveys and Base Plans <br />Field surveying for the project will consist of the <br />following: <br />ASL proposes to utilize existing "as- built" street <br />plans to obtain centerline and right -of -way lines and <br />field survey to obtain the curb lines, medians and <br />traffic markings using Microstation to produce the <br />base plan sheets. <br />Cross sections will be taken at 20 meter intervals, <br />depending on the extent of proposed improvements <br />at specific locations. Width of cross sections will be <br />from lip -of -gutter to lip -of -gutter and will include <br />the median curbs. They may also extend to the <br />right -of -way lines, depending on the extent of the <br />improvements and the need for additional vertical <br />information. <br />Topographic features, including above - ground <br />utilities from curb -to -curb (or wider, if required), <br />will also be obtained so they can be plotted on the <br />base plan sheets and used in conjunction with the <br />field site survey to locate water valves. manholes <br />ASL CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />
