EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF WORK
for
Construction Plans, Specifications, and Estimates
for the Widening of Memorial Drive from FM 423 to Navaho Lane
in
THE COLONY
1. Description:
The project will involve the widening of approximately 12,150 linear feet of
Memorial Drive between FM 423 and Navaho Lane. Memorial Drive is
classified as a major 6-lane arterial street (6D-B between FM 423 and Paige
Road and 6D-A between Paige Road and Navaho Lane). The street will be
widened from a four-lane divided arterial street to a 6-lane divided arterial
street. All widening of Memorial Drive will occur within the existing median.
Construction will include paving (roadway, sidewalk, and a 10-foot wide bike
trail), drainage, water, sanitary sewer adjustments, street lights, one (1) new
traffic signal and modifications of three (3) traffic signals, fiber optics,
landscaping and irrigation.
2. Design Assumptions - Certain assumptions were employed in
developing the scope and fee for this proposal.
A. Paving Design Standards - All roadways will be constructed to City
standards with 8-inch reinforced concrete pavement on a lime
stabilized subgrade. The design will be in accordance with City
standards and latest AASHTO guidelines. In addition to widening
Memorial Drive the following paving improvements are included in this
proposal:
i. Completely reconstruct the Blair Oaks intersection in accordance
with Option 3 described in the November 21, 2008 evaluation
prepared by Dennis Haar with Halff Associates, Inc. This option
replaces the entire width of Blair Oaks approximately 100 feet
north and 100 feet south of the intersection and replaces the
entire width of Memorial Drive approximately 70 feet west and
east of the intersection. Additional storm drainage will be
designed, and Halff will also evaluate the need for a subsurface
drain within the Blair Oaks intersection.
ii. Reconstruct a small portion of eastbound Memorial Drive on the
east side of the Paige Road intersection to improve the
rideability of the intersection.
iii. Add a left-turn lane on westbound Memorial Drive at Worley Drive.
A-1
1:A1008-12\8371 - T53\WO01 - The Colony\Memorial Drivc\Proposal\Memoria] Dr Exhibit A (SCOPE OF WORK).docx
iv. Add a left-turn lane on westbound Memorial Drive at the first
median opening east of FM 423.
v. Remove and reconstruct the brick paver crosswalks within the
South Colony Boulevard intersection.
B. Bike Trail Design - The following is included in the Bike Trail design
for Memorial Drive.-
i. Conceptual Phase: Prepare strip schematics providing up to two
separate alignments for a 10-foot wide Bike Trail between FM 423
and Navajo Lane. The purpose of this schematic is to provide
feasible alternative alignments for the bike trail in order for City
staff to determine the appropriate alignment to design and
construct with this project. Pros and Cons for each alignment are
included in the conceptual phase scope of work. Locations for the
proposed bike trail will be limited to existing City rights-of-way. No
right-of-way acquisition is anticipated or included.
ii. Design Phase: Upon City approval of an alignment the Consultant
will provide final design drawings for a 10-foot wide Bike Trail
between FM 423 and Navajo Lane.
C. Water Design - A 16-inch water line, previously designed by Halff
Associates, Inc., between Worley Drive and South Colony Boulevard
will be included in the project. Plans will be updated to meet current
City of The Colony standards. It is assumed that existing water lines
within portions of the existing median and crossing Memorial Drive are
in good condition and will not be replaced.
D. Sanitary Sewer Design - It is assumed that existing sanitary sewer
lines within portions of the existing median and crossing Memorial
Drive are in good condition and will not be replaced. Only manhole
adjustments will be necessary to match proposed pavement grades.
E. Signal Design - The Consultant will engage Savant Group, Inc. to
provide signal design. The following is included for each of the four
signalized intersections along Memorial Drive:
i. Blair Oaks Boulevard: Prepare design for a new signal. A
temporary signal will also be designed to accommodate all
phases of construction.
ii. Paige Road: Evaluate existing signal, add video detection,
illuminated street name signs and upgrade and/or replace the
existing controller cabinet to allow video detection and future
fiber connections.

westbound dual left turn.
F. Fiber Optic Conduit - A conduit w/ 3 innerducts will be installed
between FM 423 and Morningstar Drive. No fiber will be installed with
this project.
G. Drainage Design - Storm sewers will be extended between Worley
Drive and South Colony Boulevard. These extensions were previously
designed by Halff Associates, Inc. and the plans will be updated to
meet current City of The Colony standards. Additional improvements
include the following:
i. Construct storm drain improvements within the Blair Oaks
intersection in accordance with Option 3 described in the
November 21, 2008 evaluation prepared by Dennis Haar with
Halff Associates, Inc.
ii. Extend the existing box culvert on the south side of Memorial
Drive at Worley Drive approximately 85 feet.
iii. Evaluate the integrity of the existing double 84-inch corrugated
steel pipe culvert. A separate price is provided for the design of
a new culvert if replacement is necessary.
iv. Evaluate the integrity of the gabion baskets along the north side
of Memorial Drive 150 feet east of Blair Oaks Boulevard.

3. Work Plan:
A. Surveying: The Consultant shall provide surveying services, which, in
general, may be defined as normal services applicable to a project of
this type. The following particulars will also apply.
(1) Vertical benchmarks shall be established such that all points of
construction shall be within 500 feet of a benchmark.
Benchmarks should not be subject to loss during construction.
Fire hydrants and similar appurtenances are not to be used for
benchmarks. The City will furnish one or more benchmarks for
this Project. The surveyor shall establish temporary
benchmarks throughout the length of the project.
(2) Topographic features will be surveyed along with any and all
other features needed for design, review, permitting,
construction, and inspection of the project. Coverage will
extend beyond the proposed rights-of-way far enough to
integrate the design with the adjacent properties.
(3) Existing property corners, iron pins, etc. shall be tied into
established existing rights-of-way. Prior to surveying on private
property, the surveyor shall secure written permission from the
property owners and/or tenant and shall provide the City a copy
of said written permission. Should only oral permission be
granted, the surveyor shall document the permission granted by
letter to the property owner/tenant, with a copy to the City. If
permission cannot be obtained, the City will assist or other
arrangements will be worked out.
B. Right-of-Way Determination - The existing right-of-way and adjacent
easements for Memorial Drive will be determined and shown on the
plans. No additional right-of-way acquisition is required for this project.
A-5
1:A1008-12\8371 - T53\WO01 - The Colony\Memorial DriveAProposal\Memorial Dr Exhibit A (SCOPE OF WORK).docx
If it is determined that additional right-of-way and/or easements are
necessary, Halff can provide these surveying services for an additional
fee.
C. Construction Plans - The Consultant shall develop construction
plans for review, permitting, bidding, construction, inspection and
record keeping. In general, construction plans shall be consistent with
normal practice for projects of this nature. The following particulars will
also apply. The construction plans will consist of numerous sheets
ordered as follows:
(1) Cover Sheet and Sheet Index: The cover sheet shall include a
location map. Additionally, the cover sheet shall show the
project name, project number, date, City logo, Consultant's
name, address, and telephone number and other items as may
be specified. Following the title sheet shall be a sheet index
with drawings numbered consecutively and without subscripts.
(2) Project Layout Sheet(s): The project layout sheet(s) will be
drawn to a scale of 1" = 100' and laid out with the north arrow up
or to the right. The purpose of the project layout is to depict the
project in a simplified view. Major items of work will be shown
without excessive detail. Additionally, survey control points
shall be shown.
(3) Project General Notes and Legend: These sheets will include a
listing of abbreviations, legend, and general notes.
(4) Typical Sections: Typical sections shall be drawn to scales of
1" = 5' h and V = 2' v and shall depict a view looking north or
east. As a minimum, typical sections will be drawn showing the
relationship of the proposed street and existing and proposed
improvements. Typical sections will include existing roadways,
utilities, right-of-way lines, etc., along with all proposed utility
and roadway improvements and will depict all significant items
of work.
(5) Plan and Profile Sheets: Plan-profile sheets will be arranged
from south to north and from west to east, with the north arrow
up or to the right on the sheet. Plan-profile sheets will be drawn
to scales of 1" = 20' h and 1" = 4' v. Stationing will be from
south to north or west to east with the beginning station being
set at approximately 0+00. Each plan-profile sheet will include
no more than 500 feet of street; thus, leaving ample margins
both left and right. The plan and profile station will align
vertically on the sheet with the proposed centerline drawn
parallel to the profile grid. When there is a centerline curvature,
A-6
1008-12\8371 - T53\WO01 -The ColonvAMemorial DriveAProposal\Memorial Dr Exhibit A (SCOPE OF WORK).docx
the plan-profile should be drawn so that as much of the plan
view is in alignment as possible. Plan-profile sheets shall depict
all existing and proposed items pertinent to the project.
(6) Detail Sheets: The City's standard drawings will be used as a
beginning point in developing standard details for this project.
They will be reviewed and modified for this project. Where other
agency standards are used, they shall be reduced as necessary
to fit on the City's standard sheet format with complete title
block.
(7) Miscellaneous: Construction plans will also address erosion
control, traffic control (including detours, road closures, signing,
barricading, etc.) and all other improvements.
(8) Cross Sections: Cross sections shall be drawn to scales of
1" = 10' h and 1" = 5' v on sheets of 1" grids H and V. They
shall be arranged from bottom to top of the sheet looking up
station and shall show existing and proposed features and
improvements. Generally, no more than eight (8) sections per
sheet are to be plotted. Each section should extend beyond the
easement and rights-of-way a sufficient distance to clearly show
the relationship between the proposed improvements and the
existing properties. Full sections will be drawn at critical
locations, such as steep driveways, retaining walls, and at
maximum spacings of 50 feet.
(9) Review Plans: Schematic Plans will be prepared and submitted
at the 30% milestone. Preliminary plans shall then be prepared
and submitted at the 60% milestone. Final plans shall be
prepared and submitted at the 100% milestone. Also, the
Consultant may submit plan sheets or working drawings to the
City for review and comment to reduce the number of revisions
that otherwise would be required. During development of the
plans, the Consultant shall attend meetings as needed. The
Consultant shall, in company with the City, perform at least one
plans-in-hand review.
(10) Design: The design of the project shall be in general
accordance with the City of The Colony ordinances, standard
