The topographic survey will be pertormed under the direct supenrision of an Illinois Professional Land Surveyor. Topographical information will be collected from measurements taken by trained survey field crews. The horizontal control will be set on an assumed coordinate system and elevations will be based on an assumed datum. Field measurements will be taken to determine the locations of enough physical objects to determine the feasibility of this project. The locations of underground utilities will be determined from evidence available on the ground surtace and the records from utility companies. The approximate locations of street rights-of-way will be determined from IDOT highway plats. Existing curbs and parking lots will be located and the number of parking spaces in each area will be noted. The limits of the survey will be the faces of the buildings that form Lincoln Square. Additional information will be gathered for up to 50 feet beyond the faces of the buildings within street rights-of- ways as necessary for completion of Phase IV, but these portions will not be surveyed in detail. The geotechnical evaluation will be pertormed by Testing Service Corporation (TSC) and will include at least one boring to determine the nature of the soils in the proposed building location in Lincoln Square. A written Geotechnical Report will be provided with recommendations for design of a new foundation for the Transfer House in Lincoln Square. These recommendations will be reviewed and coordinated with the Licensed Structural Engineer that reviewed the existing building foundations. Coordination will also take place with Balagna to make sure the proposed foundation type will work with the equipment and procedures proposed for moving the Transfer House. TSC will provide traffic control during the geotechnical field investigation. SCHEDULE: This Phase is dependent on the weather. If weather permits, services will begin immediately upon Notice to Proceed with Phase III from the Client, and the Deliverables will be submitted within two (2)weeks of the Notice to Proceed with Phase III. No formal meeting with City Staff is anticipated during this Phase. FGI will coordinate with the Client if weather delays progress with the survey or geotechnical services. Upon completion of Phase III, FGI will coordinate with the Client to receive authorization to proceed with Phase IV. DELIVERABLES: 15 copies of the following will be submitted to the Client at the end of Phase III: ♦ A written Geotechnical Report as described above. ♦ The survey data will be collected in electronic format for use in Phase IV. An electronic copy will be provided along with a waiver of responsibility, since there is no guarantee that the electronic copy will work with the Client's software. A hard copy of this data can be provided at no additional cost, but the drawing may not be entirely legible due to the electronic data overwriting itself in tight locations. To prepare a document that would be legible with labels on the data, add $1,000 to the fee range. IV. Lincoln Square Evaluation Phase If the City of Decatur authorizes FGI to continue with the Feasibility Study, the next step is to evaluate the proposed site based on the information gathered in the previous phases. The intent of this phase is to determine if there are any significant deficiencies in Lincoln Square that might impact the relocation of the Transfer House to this location and to develop a geometric site plan for the prefeRed location. To accomplish this, an analysis of the existing underground and aboveground utilities at Lincoln Square will be pertormed. The investigation will evaluate the location, depth, and potential repositioning of utilities as affected by the Transfer House relocation. In addition,the analysis will evaluate the potential for connecting new utilities to existing services as required to fully develop the Transfer House. Append'a A 3
