A significant amount of the design work will be for mountainous roads with difficult access requirements. Additionally, engineering, and environmental support services may be required for construction and post-construction tasks. The work will generally consist of the following types of services:
1. Project Management: Manage development of the project and/or deliverable. This work generally consists of leading and coordinating with project team members, creating, updating, and monitoring schedules, facilitating meetings, directing work, monitoring budgets, providing status updates, monitoring contract compliance, and risk management.
Project management work may begin at kick-off and be completed at the end of construction of the project.
2. Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA): Ensure accuracy and completeness of deliverables based on standards. The work includes review of deliverables to meet an acceptable level of quality with respect to the thoroughness and appropriateness of the data collection, analysis, and recommendations, the clarity of the presentation, and the accuracy of the completed products. The review may utilize checklists, guidance documents, and other documentation to ensure quality is met. QA consists of monitoring the QC process by dedicating personnel to defining and measuring quality, assessing outcomes, and reevaluating standards. QA provides confidence that quality requirements can and will be fulfilled.
3. Contract Management: Develop accurate and cost-effective proposals. Ability to make effective recommendations to ensure project delivery in an efficient manner. Leads subcontractors in proposal, quality assurance, and streamlined communication. Effective at managing multiple projects at a time with multiple disciplines interacting concurrently to include subcontractors. Provides additional quality control to ensure accurate delivery of requirements. Ability to effectively communicate with multiple government partners and stakeholders.
4. Planning: Develop transportation plans, studies, reports, and assist in public involvement meetings and outreach. The plans can range from regional, multi-state long-range transportation plans to unit or modal-specific studies. The completed plans should include supporting baseline condition analysis relevant to the areas of interest. The completed plans and reports would provide information used in future project decision making processes.
5. Highway Design: Develop preliminary, intermediate, and final plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) packages for the construction of roads, bridges, multi-modal facilities, and trails. The work generally consists of transportation design using context sensitive solutions balanced with safety, design standards, environmental, and economic restrictions.
The completed design should include all documents necessary to support the design decisions, associated risk evaluation and provide compliance with national laws and regulatory policy. The completed design would provide a set of documents that would be used for the bid and award of a construction project.
6. Environmental: The environmental clearance work generally consists of developing and providing documents that address compliance with national environmental laws and policies. This may include performing studies, investigations, or inventories of various social, cultural, and environmental resources contained within the project limits or impacted by the proposed construction activity. This clearance may also involve the coordination with the public as well as various federal, state, local, or tribal agencies within the project corridor.
7. Highway Safety: The highway safety work generally consists of collecting and analyzing traffic and crash data history to support the environmental clearance process and to guide the selection of appropriate engineering solutions. Additional tasks may include using the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM) and conducting Road Safety Audits
(RSA).
8. Geotechnical: Geotechnical field investigations, analysis, reports, and studies in support of roadway, bridge, and trail design and for environmental clearance issues. The work generally consists of performing geotechnical reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, geophysical studies, data collection, mapping, geologic interpretations, geotechnical analysis, alternative development, and design for geotechnical aspects of project development and construction. A formal report is generally required documenting the findings and recommendations of the geotechnical work. This report is used to supply supporting information for the design phase and is also used as a resource during project construction.
9. Hydraulics/Hydrology: Hydrology and hydraulics engineering services in support of highway design and environmental clearance issues. The work generally consists of field reconnaissance, geomorphic trend analysis, geomorphic risk analysis, flood-rise analysis, flow determinations, design of drainage structures which may include fish passage, flood analysis, and scour potential determinations. The hydraulic recommendations are appropriately documented indicating the type of analysis used. These recommendations will be used as appropriate in the support of highway design.
10. Survey and Mapping: Highway survey and mapping work to include control networks, topography, right-of-way retracement, cadastral surveys, areal mapping, and hydrographic/ bathymetric surveys to be documented by relevant examples.
11. Landscape Architecture: Landscape Architecture associated with visual landscape management, visual mitigation, and revegetation plans. Development of design visualization of project designs.
12. Right-of-Way and Utilities: Right-of-way and utilities engineering including preparation of right-of-way and utilities plans and descriptions for the acquisition of right-of-way and coordination with landowners, state and county agencies, and utility companies, and right-of-way acquisition negotiations with landowners.
13. Bridge and Highway-related Structural Engineering: Structural designs for various highway-related structures, including major hydraulic structures, retaining walls, and bridges. The work generally consists of the design of structures including analysis of required structure type, size, and location. The completed design should include appropriate documentation to indicate compliance with federal law and policies. The completed design provides a set of documents that can be used for the bid and award of a construction project.
14. Value Engineering: Value engineering of projects under development, including conducting studies, assisting with arranging and conducting meetings, and providing analyses and reports.
