Project Summary The City of Mequon is seeking proposals from qualified firms interested in providing architectural, engineering, and design services for the design of improvements to the City's Brush & Yard Waste Disposal Center (Brush Site) at 5880 W Bonniwell Road. Improvements include reconstruction and expansion of the hard surface pavement of the yard, removal and replacement of the site's security fencing and gate to include new fencing and an automated gate system for issuing access cards/permits to residents, installation of both broad view security cameras and a license plate reader camera, and construction of a new combined equipment storage facility & office space to house the necessary computer and control systems for the automated gate and security cameras. Design work includes agency approvals and utility coordination, site design, preparation plans specifications & bidding documents, bidding assistance, meetings, and any necessary construction staking. The project areas are shown on the attached conceptual exhibit. Scope of Services: Task 1 - Agency Approvals and Utility Coordination The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has a lengthy review process (up to 90 days) to grant the required exemptions and approvals for this site. Consultant to complete the required application for exemptions to the prohibition of structures and other improvements placed on historic landfills. Through this process, determine if a building would be allowed on the site, and where that building can be located. Guidance from the DNR for development on historic landfills is found at the following website To build on historic waste fill, an exemption under Wis. Admin. Code S NR506.085 is required. If waste fill needs to be managed (moved) on the site, a low-hazard exemption under S289.43(8) is required. Obtain all DNR and City of Mequon permitting, as applicable. Plans for the building are to be filed by E-Plan Exam. Please contact the City Inspections Division at (262) 236-2926. Task 2 - Site Design Preliminary Work: The Consultant shall attend a kickoff meeting with City staff. The existing utilities on or adjacent to the site and in public right-of-way shall be located and shown on the construction plans. Pavement and base course cores shall be taken to determine the existing cross section at locations determined by the Designer, but a minimum of five cores shall be taken across the existing paved yard area and driveway. Shallow soil cores shall be taken in area of pavement expansion to determine pavement design and to determine material import and export quantities. Analyze drainage of existing site and provide new designs as necessary. Identify any culverts for replacement or the need for additional culverts. Yard Layout and Design Based on the attached concept drawing exhibit, requirements of the DNR, and information from the kickoff meeting with staff, develop a plan showing a proposed layout of the yard, building, portable restroom, stockpile locations for the various brush, yard waste, mulch, compost, log wood, and any other identified recycling materials, driveway and pavement marking, fence, gate and card reader, driveway, and security cameras. Include Jersey Barrier or other recommended barrier system for containment in design & bid documents. Provide designs for both asphalt pavement and concrete pavement and provide engineer's estimate for each. Provide a cost benefit analysis for asphalt vs. concrete pavement based on the existing site conditions, cost, and use of the property. In the bidding documents provide recommended option as base bid, and other option as alternate bid. For asphalt pavement design, recommend pulverizing or milling and repaving based on site constraints, pavement condition, and subsurface investigation data. Security Fence, Automated Gate, and Camera System Identify utility laterals or service lines needed for this project including electricity and communications for automated gate, card reader, and security system/cameras. The existing fence & gate should be removed and replaced. The location of the new fence and gate should take into consideration design of an automated gate facility with card reader access, driveway modifications, site security at an unattended facility, queuing for facility users with trailers, ability to turn around is the site is closed or they are denied access for whatever reason, etc. Design should be for complete system to include an automated gate with card reader system for residents, overall coverage security cameras, and cameras to read and record license plates entering and exiting the facility. All systems should include on-site controls, and remote access. Design options should be presented to the City for single or multiple entrances to the site. In addition to year-round access for residents, the site also has to be accessible for large equipment (semi-truck & trailers) for grinding brush and logs, as well as hauling in and out of material both by contractors and City DPW crews. Preliminary options for all of the above shall be presented with design alternatives and engineers estimates for review by City staff at the 60% plan review meeting. Building Design Design building with small, heated office space (approximately 150 SF) and computer system for automated gate and cameras. The remainder of the building to be approximately 3,450 square feet for basic unheated equipment storage with concrete floors and electrical service outlets. The design of the exterior of the building shall be rural in nature fitting in with the surrounding neighborhood. The City will provide examples at the kickoff meeting. Task 3 - Preparation of Plans and Specifications The City will provide template contract bid documents and boilerplate contract documents. Technical specifications are required for all bid items. Plans shall include separate or combined plan sheets including, but not limited to, the following: Cover Sheet Overall Site Plan Paved Yard Plans with Construction Details and Typical Cross Sections Pavement Marking Plan if Needed Drainage Plan including Culverts with Invert Elevations Grading and Restoration Erosion Control Plan Building Plans with Utility Service Connection Details Fence and Automated Gate Plan & Details Security System/Camera Details Provide all utility contact information on the plans. Plans to be provided to the City in AutoCAD and PDF format. Plans and specifications to be stamped and signed by a registered professional engineer. Provide engineer's construction cost estimate for all aspects of the construction project. Task 4 - Bidding Assistance City Staff will send the advertisement to the appropriate publications and distribute plans. Consultant to attend pre-bid meeting. Consultant to respond to bidder inquiries and provide any required addenda to the City. Task 5 - Meetings Consultant must attend the design kickoff meeting, one 60% plan review meeting, one 90% plan review meeting, and a construction pre-bid meeting which will be held during the day with City staff at the City of Mequon Department of Public Works Building at 10800 N. Industrial Drive, Mequon, WI 53092. Task 6 - Construction Staking Provide line & grade offset staking for any culverts. Provide offset staking for edge of pavement for all curve points of tangency and midpoints, all corners of yard, and along all edges of pavement at no less than 25' intervals. Provide red-top and blue-top grade stakes for entire yard at 25' minimum grid pattern, or acceptable GPS horizontal and vertical control meeting the contractor's requirements. Provide any required construction staking for building. Provide offset staking for all fencing and gates. Provide slope intercept staking for any required landscape grading.
