HomeMy WebLinkAboutCanal study (Conceptual Design & Feasibility Study)~; f 6L~~ ~ Task Order No. 09-O1 City of Jeffersonville, Indiana (OWNER) and Strand Associates, Inc.® (ENGINEER) Pursuant to Technical Services Agreement Dated March 7, 2005 Project Information Project Name: Conceptual Design and Feasibility Study of Canal (Phase 1) Project Description: OWNER is under a Consent Decree to develop and implement a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP). An open-channel canal was identified as a potential LTCP alternative because of the additional flood control and economic development benefits. The purpose of these services is to evaluate the feasibility of a canal. Scope of Services Generally, the following services shall be provided by ENGINEER to OWNER. A detailed Scope of Services is as follows. This Conceptual Design and Feasibility Study includes the development of a conceptual design, identification of three potential routes to accomplish the goals of the project, and completion of a feasibility study on the three potential routes to identify obstacles, and make a recommendation of the preferred route. The project team includes ENGINEER and two subconsultants (SUBCONSULTANT) hereinafter referred to as TEAM. Project Mana eg ment a. Meet with subconsultants and keep OWNER informed of the project's progress. A schedule of meetings and their purposes are listed below: i) August 13, 2009: Introduce project to ENGINEER and subconsultants (organized by OWNER). ii) August 28, 2009: Develop proposal. iii) September 1, 2009: Discuss the canal project with OWNER. iv) September 4, 2009: Discuss basic parameters of the canal with OWNER. v) September 11, 2009: Internal TEAM meeting to draft scope. vi) September 11, 2009: Organized by OWNER. vii) September 14, 2009: Internal TEAM meeting to draft budget. viii) September 15, 2009: Present draft Task Order to OWNER.
