Re: EAG 301-27.7 Catamount Bridge Replacement Project
Scope of Work and Budget Proposal for Initial Survey Work
Dear Mr. Gerdes,
This letter presents SGM's proposed scope and budget for professional surveying services to perform the
initial existing conditions topographic survey and channel cross sections survey in advance of the full
project development work. The information obtained will then be used by the SGM project team in the
preliminary and final engineering after the Design Scoping Review has been completed.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
1.0 WORK PLAN
The proposed scope of work can be broken down into the following tasks:
1.1 Project Setup:
A project control network will be established in accordance with CDOT Survey Standards.
This control network will also be utilized in preparing ROW plans.
1.2 Existing Conditions Survey:
The areas depicted in the attached Exhibit will be surveyed and a topographic base map
will be prepared.
1.3 Preliminary Boundary Survey:
A search for section corners and property corners in the immediate project area will be
performed and recorded in the base map.
1.4 River Cross Sections Survey:
The river cross sections as shown by the lines in the attached Exhibit will be surveyed for
use in the hydraulic analysis. As much of this work as possible will be done by wading in
the shallow areas. For the channel bottom shots required in deeper or swifter water,
SGM surveyors will perform this work from a boat and will be assisted by a certified local
river guide.
2.0 DELIVERABLES
An electronic base map will be prepared from the field survey data. This will be used internally by
the SGM project team during design, but could be made available to Eagle County if requested.

3.0 SCHEDULE

and/or the river begins to ice up. We anticipate that a full week of field time will be required and that
we can complete the field survey in approximately 2-3 weeks from Notice to Proceed.
4.0 COSTS
Individual scope of work elements are included in the attached hour & fee estimate. The total costs
to provide the work outlined herein will not exceed $15,520 without written approval from the
County.

35. EXHIBIT H — LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES
THE LOCAL AGENCY SHALL USE THESE PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT FEDERAL -AID
PROJECT AGREEMENTS WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES
Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project
agreement administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1
states "The policies and procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design
.related services for projects subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(0) and are issued to ensure
that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that prescribed work
is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23
CFR 172.5 "Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase." Therefore, local
agencies must comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant
services under a federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT.
CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related
operations guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and
guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and
CRS §24-30-1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request
from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit: [Local agencies should have their own
written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172].
Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are
quite lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short -hand guide to. CDOT procedures that a local
agency must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format
of 23 CFR 172. The steps are:
1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services.
2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a
detailed scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The
evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S. 24-30-1403_ Also, a detailed cost estimate
should be prepared for use during negotiations.
3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the, requirements of
C.R.S. 24-30-1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of
15 days prior to the selection of the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be
done in one or more daily. newspapers of general circulation.
4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors
and their relative importance, the method of payment, and the goal of 10% for Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise (DBE) participation as a minimum for the project.
5. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24-30-
1403. This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT
pre -qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short-
list and to make a final selection.
The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors:
a. Qualifications,
b. Approach to the Work,
c. Ability to furnish professional services.
d. Anticipated design concepts, and
e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional seivices,
Page 1 of 2
Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's:
a. Abilities of their personnel,
b. past performance,
c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement,
d. Lavation,
e. Current and projected work load,
f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and
g. Involvement of minority consultants.
6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to
obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre -negotiation audits are
prepared for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursements for
costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees
(profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of
risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct and
indirect costs.
7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure
that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions,
and specifications of the contract. At the end of Work, the local agency prepares a
performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant.
8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49
CFR 18.42, which provide for records to be kept at least three years from the date that the
local agency submits its final expenditure report. Records of projects under litigation shall be
kept at least three years after the case has been settled.
CRS §§24-30-1401 through 24-30-1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P.D. 400.1, provide additional
details for complying with the preceeding eight (8) steps.
