Prepare final construction drawings, including typical sections, plans, profiles, details, erosion control sheets, and work zone traffic control sheets, as necessary. 28. Prepare construction specifications / contract manual. Staging of the work and the temporary pumping needed during LS and FM construction interruptions will be included in the construction contractor's responsibility. We have seen situations, though, where the City wants to facilitate and coordinate that task. We will coordinate and adjust as needed. 29. Estimate quantities and prepare a construction cost estimate. It is important to NOTE that as with any construction project, there may need to be modifications made to the quantities in the field. As such, we recommend the City budget a contingency of about 10% of the contractor's bid. Biddinq Phase Scope of Work 30. Complete a Gopher State One Call, as required by State Law, prior to the bid. We will also distribute plans to local utility company contacts. 31. Prepare an Advertisement for Bids for the City's official newspaper(s) and distribute plans on QuestCDN. 32. Attend the bid opening and review bids with the City. Construction Phase Scope of Work 33. The tasks in this phase are predicated on the City receiving a good set of competitive bids. If, for some reason, that is not the case, we will work with the City, the MPCA, and the funding agencies on the best way forward. For example, the funding agencies might be able to find additional funding assistance. Or, we might need to reject all bids and re -bid. 34. We have worked with the City Public Works and Utilities Staff on previous projects. On a project this size, they will have some time that they will need to invest assisting during the construction phase. However, the majority of the construction administration and observation time will be provided by us. We know the City Staff still have their normal duties to perform. 35. Provide a Letter of Recommendation on Award of the construction contract, and assist the City / City Council on this step. 36. Issue a Notice of Award to the contractor, and request bonds and insurance.
