1.0 PURPOSE SCOPE OF SERVICES CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR This project will develop and evaluate a given roadway alignment, analyze a preferred typical section for suitability within the County provided ROW corridor, and prepare conceptual roadway plans for a new roadway running the length of the Polk County Commerce Centre from Braddock Road to north of Pace Road, a distance of approximately 3.03 miles. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 General The general objective of the alignment study is to identify and refine a North- South roadway alignment to connect the land uses and provide internal circulation within the Polk Commerce Centre. Polk County has engaged landowners from the surrounding area to identify a preliminary corridor; this corridor will be used as a starting point for the study effort. This study will determine the environmental, physical, and cultural considerations of the proposed corridor, develop engineering refinements, and provide a conceptual design and construction cost estimate for a new alignment that will facilitate and support future development patterns within the Polk County Commerce Centre. The proposed corridor is located in or near the City of Auburndale. The CONSULTANT will coordinate with the City of Auburndale as appropriate and as specifically directed herein. Project Name: Polk County Commerce Centre Alignment Study Limits: from Braddock Road to north of Pace Rd Major Intersections: Braddock Rd and Pace Rd Existing Signalized Intersections: none Public Meetings: none 2.2 Project Schedule Within ten (10) business days after the Notice To-Proceed and before beginning work, the Consultant shall provide a detailed project activity and event schedule for deliverables and COUNTY and CONSULTANT activities required to meet the County s Work Program schedule. Project schedule shall be updated and revised, as directed by the COUNTY, to accommodate any necessary changes. For the scheduling purposes, three (3) weeks will be allowed for County review of plans, reports and technical memoranda. Polk County Commerce Centre Alignment Study 1 12/12/2012

Perform one (1) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring to a depth of 15 feet below existing site grades at each proposed alternate pond location (a total of 16 SPTs). In each boring, samples will be collected and SPT resistances will be measured virtually continuously for the top 10 feet and on intervals of 5 feet thereafter. In addition, perform one (1) hand auger boring to depths on the order of 5 to 10 feet below grade at each of the proposed alternate pond locations to obtain Seasonal High Groundwater Table (SHGWT) estimates. Perform one hand auger/power auger boring to depths on the order of 5 to 10 feet below grade along the proposed roadway alignment at intervals of approximately 1,000 feet in order to provide SHGWT estimates to support the project Line and Grade assessment. Visually classify and stratify recovered soil samples in the laboratory using the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Soil Classification System in general accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test Designation D- 2488.
