Eagle County Prof Services Final 1/14
Project Narrative
The anticipated scope of services to be provided will include the following:
1. Pre-design Meeting
A pre-design meeting will be held at the Eagle County shortly after the Notice-to-Proceed has
been issued. The meeting will include County staff members and representatives of our design
team. At the meeting, information will be exchanged, design criteria will be agreed upon, and
the project objectives will be established. HCE will present a project schedule with
intermediate milestones, submittal dates, and progress meeting dates.
2. Field Surveying
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE)will utilize survey control monuments and right-of-way
points to establish a horizontal and vertical control network for the project. HCE will collect
topographic mapping data of all existing features within the project limits. The limits of the
topographic survey will be coordinated with the Eagle County to ensure that all relevant
features are included. The elevations of the mapped features will also be collected to prepare a
three-dimensional surface of the site. Some of the existing features to be mapped will include:
river banks, curb, gutter, sidewalks, ramps, and driveways, cross pans, roadways, driveways,
utilities, trees, shrubs, mail boxes, fences, pipes, drainage facilities, structures, and property
corners.
3. Utility Locating
Underground Utility Locating Consultants, LLC, will mark buried utilities within and adjacent
to the project site limits. These markings will be surveyed by High Country Engineering, Inc.
(HCE), during the topographic surveying of the site. The positions of the marked utilities will
be utilized during subsequent design to establish the needed utility connections.
4. Wetlands and Ordinary High Water Line Delineation and Permitting
Beach Environmental will perform a site investigation and mark the wetlands limits and the
ordinary high water line along the bank of the Eagle River at the proposed boat ramp. These
markings will be surveyed by High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE), during the topographic
surveying of the site. Beach will submit the findings to the US Army Corp of Engineers
(USACE) Environmental Analysis Section. He will work with the USACE to obtain the final
permits, clearances, or letters of approval as necessary. Beach will also be responsible for the
permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. It is anticipated that Nationwide
permitting will be allowed for the construction of the proposed boat ramp.
5 Existing Conditions Mapping
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will compile the right-of-way, easement, surface
utilities and topographic survey data on a single base map. This base map will be prepared in
AutoCAD and Adobe Acrobat formats and be distributed to the County for review, and will be
used for subsequent design and permitting purposes.
6. Soils Analysis
Hepworth—Pawlak GeoTech (HP Geotech) will perform an analysis of the on-site soils. Test
holes will be drilled and soils samples will be collected for further testing. The collected soils
samples will be evaluated to determine the engineering characteristics and properties. HP
Geotech will prepare a professional report summarizing the soils test results and
recommendations for construction of the proposed concrete boat ramp and the bearing capacity
of soils supporting the foundation of the proposed precast vault toilet restroom.
7. Vehicle Traffic Analysis
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will estimate the average daily trips of both boat ramp
visitors and County maintenance personnel. A basic traffic study, summarizing the anticipated
average daily traffic will be prepared for County use.
8. River Hydraulic Analysis
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will prepare a hydraulic model of the Eagle River,
based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study. An
analysis will be preformed to establish the 100-year floodway and floodplain limits at the site.
According to the Eagle County Flood Insurance Study (FIS), the fringe width between the 100-
year floodway and floodplain limits is approximately 50-feet at the site. FEMA allows
improvements within the fringe, such as the proposed boat ramp, without the need for a federal
floodway encroachment permit. Any work within the floodway would require either a no-rise
certification, or a letter of map revision.
9. Vehicle Circulation Analysis
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will perform an analysis of vehicle circulation within
the site and the proposed entry road leading to U.S. Highway 6 & 24. The geometry of the
proposed roadways will be checked to verity adequacy of turning movements of vehicles likely
to be used by visitors, County maintenance vehicles, as well as emergency response vehicles.
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE)will utilize AutoTurn©software to perform the needed
vehicle circulation analysis.
10. Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)Analysis
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will perform an analysis of accessible parking spaces
and routes meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. Anticipated ADA
destinations within the site include: Parking spaces, the rest room, the boat ramp and picnic
areas.
11. Precast Vault Toilet Restroom Selection
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will research and specify or more pre-manufactured
precast vault toilet restrooms for installation at the site. Selection criteria will include: quality,
durability, maintenance, appearance and cost.
12. Split Rail Fence Selection
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will specify a split rail fence system for installation at
the site. Selection criteria will include:quality, durability,maintenance, appearance and cost.
13. Traffic Signage Plan Preparation
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will prepare a traffic signage plan for the site.
Anticipated signage will include: traffic control signage, parking signage, ADA parking
signage, and traffic management signage.
14. Traditional Boat Ramp-Bid Alternative
The Design Team will design a traditional concrete boat ramp as a construction bid alternative.
The ramp is to be situated at the existing river bank. It is anticipated that the width of the rap is
to be approximately 16 feet wide. The approximate vertical drop is anticipated to be
approximately 6 feet, and the approximate length is to be approximately 72 feet, to achieve a
manageable 12:1 slope ratio. The soil bearing capacity will be determined by HP Geotech. The
proposed concrete thickness and associated steel reinforcement will be designed by Oddo
Engineering. Wetland disturbance permitting will be performed by Beach Environmental,
LLC. It is anticipated that grading of the proposed ramp will be at or below the existing river
bank terrain, to achieve a no-rise condition of the regulatory floodplain. Anticipated elements
of the ramp design include: dimensions, thickness, materials, reinforcement, and sub-grade
compaction.
15. Excavated Cove and Boat Ramp-Bid Alternative
The Design Team will design an excavated cove with a traditional concrete boat ramp as a
construction bid alternative. The proposed cove is to be excavated from the existing river bank
to, and is to be crescent shaped. The excavated cove bid option is intended to provide a zone of
relatively still water for boaters entering and exiting the river. The excavated cove bid option
will also provide opportunities for a swim beach and increased length of shore line for wildlife
habitat. The anticipated dimensions of the excavated crescent cove are to be 20 feet in width
and 100 feet in length. Wetland disturbance permitting will be performed by Beach
Environmental, LLC. This bid option will also include a traditional boat ramp as described
above.
16. Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP)
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will prepare a State of Colorado Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP) for the site, because the anticipated area of disturbance is to
exceed 1-acre. Anticipated elements of the SWMP include erosion control measures, sediment
control measures, and Best Management Practices mitigation strategies.
17. Drainage Improvements Design
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) will perform a storm drainage analysis of the site, and
design appropriate storm drainage improvements, in conformance with applicable County
standards. It is anticipated that the site will remain relatively impervious, which should reduce
storm water runoff and should allow precipitation to percolate into the native soils. Particular
attention however will be paid to the grading and drainage of the pollutant prone areas of the
site, such as the proposed parking areas and the internal access roadways. In these areas, storm
water runoff will be directed to vegetated swales to sequester any accumulated pollutants away
from the Eagle River.
18. Conceptual Design
The design team will prepare a set of conceptual plans for the project. The conceptual design
will be performed in conformance with applicable County standards. The conceptual plans will
be presented to the County for review and commentary. Any requested modifications will be
incorporated into subsequent refinements.
19. Preliminary Design
The design team will prepare a set of preliminary plans for the project. The plans will be
presented to the County for review and commentary. Any requested modifications will be
incorporated into subsequent refinements.
20. Final Design
The design team will prepare a set of final plans for the project. The plans will be presented to
the County for review and commentary. Any requested modifications will be incorporated into
