1. Description: Halff Associates, Inc. is currently under contract to provide construction plans for Stream Bank Stabilization for Stream SC-1A From Taylor Street to Squires Drive in The Colony, Texas. This contract amendment will include the design of a 10-foot wide, 120-foot long (approximate) clear span, prefabricated pedestrian bridge across Stream SC-1A adjacent to the alley north of Russell Drive. The structure will be designed to allow access for a loaded pickup truck. Coordination with the designer of the associated 10-foot wide trail will be required to ensure proper placement of the bridge.
2. Assumptions:
A. This proposal is applicable for plan sheet preparation and provision of additional
specifications to be included as a contract amendment to the Stream SC-1A Streambank Stabilization project. Costs for completion of plans and specifications for a project to be bid separately are not included.
B. This scope of work is based on both bridge abutments being of similar design with a relatively flat terrain adjacent to the abutments. Retaining walls or other landscaping and irrigation features are excluded from the scope of work.
C. Illumination plans are not included in this scope of work.
D. 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.
