November 1, 2023 WiDSETH Design, Bidding, and Construction Phase Services for Main (Gravdahl) Lift Station and Forcemain Improvements City of Pequot Lakes Page 3 We will coordinate with your water and wastewater operator, Andy Schwartz. He has been of great assistance already. We will also use any appropriate attributes and information within the Geographic Information System (GIS) that we assisted the City with and that the City has invested in. Finally, if it is determined that we need additional locating of the existing forcemain, we will coordinate on a scope of work and estimate of cost for the Council to consider as additional services. 10. Compile all of the field and above data and prepare an overall existing conditions base map drawing. 11. Soils borings and a geotechnical report are not part of our scope of work. However, we recommend the City contract with a geotechnical engineering firm to provide this information, both for design and in the bidding documents for the bidders and the selected construction contractor to use. We have included in our scope of work assisting the City in preparing a scope of work, issuing Requests For Proposals (RFP's) to geotechnical engineering firms, obtaining quotes from them, assisting the City in contracting directly with such a firm, and coordinating with the firm during their work. The City will need to work with property owners to assist the selected geotechnical engineering firm in obtaining permission from landowners for access for soil borings. Widseth's surveyors can locate the soil borings. Most times this firm will also be involved later on in construction phase materials testing and verification. 12. Our environmental professionals will conduct a field walk- through. While maybe not as formal as this, we would expect a "letter of no impact ". If there would be some kind of environmental issues noted, we will coordinate on a scope of work and estimate of cost for the Council to consider as additional services. 13. Meet with appropriate City Staff (e.g., Andy Schwartz, Nick Roy) to review the existing conditions of the LS and the FM along with proposed improvements. Anticipated topics of discussion, and possible proposed improvements include, but will probably not be limited to, the following: • Discuss other lift stations. While this project's funding can only be used for the main Gravdahl LS, it may be advantageous to include City funded improvements at the other lift stations.
