TH 55 Storm Water Tunnel Inspection and Design Project

Exhibit A-Scope of Work and Deliverables

Project Overview
State requests responses for engineering services to develop plans, special provisions, and cost estimate for a project to
repair and rehabilitate the existing Trunk Highway (TH) 55 and 28th Street storm water tunnel. The storm water tunnel
runs east along 28th Street from the intersection of 29th Street and TH 55 to the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.

The primary objective of the proposed project contractor’s work will include the following tasks.

1. Design for the repair of a connection between the open-cut outfall and the Trunk Highway (TH) 55 storm water
tunnel. The cause of the separation must be investigated and measures to limit future relative movement must be
included in the design.

2. The entire tunnel liner must be inspected for cracks and other defects like seal cracks, exposed rebar, spalling
holes in the crown and infiltration gushers. Observations will be compiled in a standardized report format and
National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) with an electronic copy provided to State by
prioritizing the required rehabilitation work. The depth of voids behind the tunnel liner does not need to be re-
measured.

3. State intends to invest approximately $1 million for rehabilitation of the TH 55 storm water tunnel including work
for objective item 1 and 2. The contractor will estimate costs for objective item 1 and also the contractor must
identify other cost effective repairs (Objective Item 2) to the liner that can be done within the allocated funds.

4. After review of the compiled report by the State Project Manager (PM), the contractor will prepare final signed
plans, special provisions, cost estimate, Quality Management Plan (QMP) check and all supporting
documentation for project turn-in to State Central Office by July, 2018. Contractor is responsible for the
completeness and accuracy of their work. Design calculations and plan sheets must be completely checked and
reconciled prior to submittal. Review comments from State on Contractor’s various plan review submittals does
not relieve Contractor of liability for an inaccurate or incomplete plan.

5. To deliver the project as scheduled to State Central Office a 95% review copy of paper and electronic plans,
which are to be done with MicroStation, will be submitted to the State’s Project Manager by June 2018.

6. Final signed plans, special provisions, QMP check, and cost estimate will be submitted to State Central Office by
July 2018 in both paper and electronic formats.

7. Coordination with other State Project Management will include work necessary for the effective communication
and coordination of the project to ensure the project tasks are completed on time, within budget, and in
accordance with State and Federal laws, rules, and regulations.

8. The Contractor will have knowledge and be able to provide deliverables in Geopak Microstation Version 8 (V8).
All deliverables will use State’s CADD Standards.

9. The Contractor will provide to the State one hard copy and one electronic copy of all project-related
correspondence, memos, reports, exhibits, computations, design, plans, special provisions, etc. with the 100%
plan submittal.

10. The Contractor will sign the required final plan sheets after the State’s Metro District review of the 100% plan
submittal and will be available for updates to the sheets through the State’s QA/QC process, project letting and
construction stages.
