Open-End Engineering Design Services-Systemwide

The services will encompass a wide range of design efforts with the possibility of several different types of projects being designed under short completion schedules. The anticipated types of projects include small bridge replacements or bridge rehabilitation with minor approach work; roadway rehabilitation or resurfacing projects; capital improvement projects (bridges or roadway); minor location studies, drainage modifications, or any other engineering-related activity as determined by the Engineering Department to expedite a project. The firm may be required to perform tasks including but not limited to the following: field surveys; plot topography and cross sections; prepare submissions for utility verification and relocation engineering; prepare submissions for field view meetings; prepare all pertinent submissions and material necessary for the Commission to prepare the application to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) and for a PUC field conference; attend and supply any required information for all PUC meetings during the design of a project; develop erosion control details and narrative; develop right-of-way plans; prepare hydraulic report for waterway approvals; prepare type, size, and location report; prepare structure drawings, including culverts, bridges and sign supports, for repair, rehabilitation or replacement; prepare traffic control plans with narrative; investigate utility and property involvements; perform traffic counts; and prepare construction plans, specifications and estimates. These engineering services identified are the general work activities that can be expected under this Open-end Agreement. A more specific and project-related Scope of Work will be outlined for each individual Work Order developed under this Open-end Agreement.
