The structure will be designed to allow access for a loaded pickup truck. Portions of the concrete trail leading up to the structure have been undermined and will also require replacement. Additionally, Halff Associates will design a small culvert to convey a portion of higher flows in an overflow area immediately west of the creek crossing. 2. Assumptions: A. Halff services shall include only services that are normal and customary and are not represented as including special services or those requiring expertise that is greater than that provided by other service providers. B. This scope of work is based on the both abutments being similar and that the terrain adjacent to the abutments will be relatively flat. Retaining walls or other landscaping and irrigation features are excluded from the scope of work. C. Environmental/Water Quality - The total impacted area to Waters of the United States for the proposed bridge and riprap improvements should be less than 0.1 acres. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit 14 - Linear Transportation Projects can be utilized without notification. Therefore, environmental services are excluded from the scope of work. D. Hydraulic information from the September 2008 Stewart Creek Tributary 1 Erosion Study, prepared by Halff Associates, Inc., will be utilized in preparation of the construction plans. E. One (1) trail light will be shown to be replaced and connected to the existing power supply. A-1 isA1008-11\7710-t53vthe co Ion_y\biII alien park bridge exhibit a - bill alien perk bridge.doc 3.
