Task3-FieldWork
3.1 Surveying
SCS's sub-consultant, Cruise & Associates (Cruise), will perform additional topographic surveying
services needed for design phase services of this project. Field work is limited to providing new
topographic mapping along the new access road, the new drainage diversion channel, areas
disturbed during Phase I construction (soil stockpile areas), and invert elevations for existing
stormwater culverts and sewer manholes. Cruise will amend the previously prepared topographic
survey for the project.
Deliverables. Amended Topographic map of the 38-acre parcel.
3.2 Geotechnical
SCS's sub-consultant, HWA GeoSciences lnc., will conduct a geotechnical investigation that includes
reviewing available data and performing a subsurface exploration program. The program will be
designed to supplement the Phase I geotechnical program that included a number of shallow
boreholes conducted along the site perimeter that were supplemented by test pits within the site
interior. We propose to perform subsurface boreholes at all building locations (tipping building,
scalehouse, Moderate Risk Waste (MRW building, and composting area)to determine subsurface
conditions, soil bearing pressures, depth to groundwater, and depth to the subsurface cobble layer.
Borehole locations will be finalized after the conceptual layout is finalized. Drilling will be conducted
using sonic boring methods to eliminate the potential for shallow refusal on cobbles. During the field
exploration program, HWA also proposes to measure groundwater elevations in the existing
temporary piezometers to determine if depth to groundwater elevations have changed since the
conceptual development. A geotechnical report will be prepared to summarize results of the field
investigation, laboratory test results, and will include recommendations for building and retaining
wall foundations, earthworks, and pavement design. HWA will also provide one round of plan review
to verify the geotechnical recommendations are incorporated.

Task 4 - Conceptual Design - 30 Percent
SCS will conduct an initial "kick-off" meeting with the County to discuss the project, review the
project management plan, scope schedule, budget, and critical milestone dates. We will conduct a
two (2) day facilitated chartering workshop with the County, attended by four (4) SCS Team
members, to discuss and finalize design concepts.
We will tailor this workshop to gain stakeholder approval for design optimizations of the following
critical project components:
e Development of up to 3 alternative layouts to optimize the site layout.
Tipping building and composting area size based on projected waste quantities and
future expansion needs.
a Development of tipping building size and determination regarding enclosed or open
structure.
Building safety features such as transitions from ambient to indoor lighting, dust control,
fire suppression, space use, and traffic circulation.
Architectural code standards, permitting process needs, and schedule accelerating
opportunities.
a
a
Programming needs for the administration and scalehouse buildings
Design of the HHW building that may consider relocating the existing HHW structure and
components.
Workshop design decisions will be documented and the SCS Team willdevelop a conceptual level
set of design drawings (drawings) as well as a Class 3 level cost estimale (-2Oo/o, +30%).
The proposed drawing list for the project is shown as Exhibit A and indicates our estimate of the
number of drawings anticipated for submission during the various design phases.

Task 5 - Final Design - 90 Percent
SCS will advance the design to the 90 percent complete level with a "check" set of drawings and
specifications at the 60 percent completion level to allow concurrent reviews while the design
progresses to the 90 percent level. At the 60 percent completion stage, we will initiate the
Department of Ecolory permitting process and develop technical specifications for the project. SCS
will conduct weekly design coordination meetings with the Project Team and County.
A set of 60 percent (over the shoulder or check set) drawings, technical specifications, and Class 2 (-
t5%, +2O%) level cost will be prepared. SCS will meet with the County to discuss comments which
will be incorporated and the Project Team will proceed to developing a 90 percent set of drawings
and specifications (Standard conditions and technical). A Class t (-!Oo/o, +t5o/o) level cost will be
prepared at the 90 percent complete phase.
