Middle School
Athletic Fields & Recreation Complex Redevelopment
Final Design, Bid, and Construction Phase Services
495 Main Street
Professional Services
Scope of Work & Estimate of Fee
October 31, 2017
Project Description
Building upon the previous most recent iteration of the final conceptual level design for the North
Andover Middle School (HAMS) Athletic Fields and Recreation Complex project, this scope of
work provides final design services for the production of construction bid documents (plans,
specifications and final cost estimate). The limits of work shall be that area contained within the
red outline as shown in the attached drawing (Conceptual Layout 3A) dated May 11, 2017, and
including all the elements contained therein. Additional public process meetings with stakeholders
will also be held to obtain further input during the final design process. The work shall also
include coordination with the Town's architectural team for the proposed Kindergarten Project.
Construction bid documents will be split so that construction may be completed in phases.
Construction phase services are also included to assist the Town during each construction stage.
(A.) Scope of Work
Based on the summary above, the description that follows represents the specific scope of work
needed to complete our work elements for this project.
Taslc 1.0 Supplemental Topographic Survey
The existing survey documents that have been used as a base plan for the conceptual
level design process need to be supplemented so that certain information missing from
those plans may be added for the benefit of the final design process. Elements missing
from the current plan include utility alignments, legal easements, and updated wetland
delineation. We will also obtain more topographic data points to enhance the accuracy of
the existing base where needed. We will update the exiting survey base plan in the most
recent version of AutoCAD. Any survey data made available to us from the
Kindergarten project will be incorporated into the Middle School Field's Project base
plan where needed, particularly those areas that pertain to vehicle access and circulation
near the site's Route 125 entrance.
Task 1.0 Fee $4,200.
N%V ( Waterfield Design Group
Task 2.0 Wetland Delineation
We will inspect the wooded areas that are north and west of the existing fields to
establish/re-establish current wetland boundaries. We will tie flags along the updated
wetland boundary so the field survey work of Task 1.0 may record their locations.
Forested areas associated with the proposed Kindergarten project will not be inspected as
part of this task.
Task 2.0 Fee $1,900.00
Task 3.0 Soil Evaluation & Geotechnical Engineering
An important part of the final design will be the water management and performance
aspects of the playing surfaces and associated support areas. Test pits will be excavated
at 10 locations throughout the site so that our Massachusetts licensed Soil Evaluator may
inspect the existing subgrade materials. We will characterize the soils encountered in
each sampling location. Percolation tests will be performed to identify the rate at which
water can be conveyed through native soils. Soil evaluation will also help determine the
extent to which native soils may be suitable for the specific performance level of the new
athletic fields and to help define the new fields' irrigation needs. We have assumed that
the Town can supply a back -hoe and operator for the time needed to excavate and inspect
the ten test pit locations. We will require that the excavating contractor or operator
assisting with the excavation of test pits repair any areas disturbed by this exercise to an
acceptable level of repair (either bituminous patch or earthen turf re -seeding, etc.).
For the proposed tower field light pole foundations, we propose to conduct 5 to 6 soil
borings to a depth of 30 feet below ground surface or to practical refusal, whichever
occurs first. If refusal occurs at relatively shallow depths, we will consider performing a
rock core within the borehole. We have assumed that this subsurface exploration
program can be accomplished within three (3) days on site. If soil conditions are such
that it takes longer to complete these borings, additional fees will be required.
All soil observations will prepare excavation logs, classification of soil types, and the
collection of soil samples.
Geotechnical engineering recommendations for the design and construction of the
proposed light tower foundations will be provided
Task 3.0 Fee $23,000.00
Task 4.0 Coordination with Kindergarten Project Design Team
It is anticipated that the design of the Middle School Fields Project will be completed after the
design work that is underway on the Town's proposed Kindergarten project. The two projects
directly abut one another and will share a parking and access area that will be reconfigured and
improved as part of the proposed Kindergarten project. Because of these important relationships
between the two projects, a certain amount of design coordination with the Kindergarten project
team will be needed, likely in advance of when that work would normally be performed for the
fields project. This task includes up to four (4) coordination meetings with the Kindergarten
NiNiM I Waterfield Design Group
project design team. Among other things, this task will represent to the Kindergarten project
team the various needs of the fields project for inclusion in their construction project.
The fee for this item is included in Task 6.0, Meetings
Taslc 5.0 Design Development & Construction Bid Documents
Using the approved final conceptual design from our previous efforts, we will prepare final
design plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates to the Design Development (DD)
and Construction Document (CD) levels. We will meet once with the Town at the submission of
our DD and CD package to review the plans and to receive comments. If necessary, we will
modify the DD plans in short order to address any review comments that may benefit from an
immediate dialogue. All other comments will be addressed in the CD phase. In between the DD
& CD document submissions, we will also submit design documents to the Town for review and
comment at the 75% complete stage. We will prepare the plans so that the project may be
separated into two different construction stages, requiring separate advertising, bidding, and
construction. We will develop a detailed construction schedule including both phases of the
work at both the DD and CD levels.
The elements to be included in the final design package will be as shown by Conceptual Layout
3A, attached herein for reference. Clarification of the elements delineated by the attached sketch
is as follows:
• Artificial turf field for the central athletic surface (baseball and soccer) and for the
softball field. We will work with the Town of North Andover to identify the product
type that is best suited for their needs and will offer several different types for your
consideration. We will assist in the identification of the performance and cost
characteristics of each product type. All other recreation areas shall be natural turf grass.
• On site stormwater collection and infiltration depending upon soil test pit data.
• Field lighting of both of the central athletic surfaces and of the softball field. Pedestrian
lighting of all other areas as needed.
• Spectator seating using prefabricated metal style bleacher seating throughout, where
space allows and where desired by Town. Each section will only approach 6-7 rows of
seating. Dugouts will be needed for the central (full size) baseball field and for the
softball field. No press box.
• Ball netting will likely be required against west side of the property and behind the
backstop at the softball field to keep balls from being hit into the abutters property.
• Shade structures at selected picnic or passive recreation areas.
• Hard Surface walking paths and driveway access for emergency and maintenance
equipment throughout.
TVAM I Waterfield Design Croup
• Fencing as needed for security and/or separation of uses.
• Signage as needed for branding/awareness and internal wayfinding and circulation
• ADA conformance throughout.
• Irrigation of the natural turf grass field area and of one (primary) entrance feature that
may be included as part of the redesigned `front door' on Route 125. Hose bibs at
selected locations to be determined for maintenance purposes throughout.
• Playground design shall be reviewed by a Certified Playground Safety Inspector to
ensure that all elements proposed will pass inspection post -construction.
• Selection of play equipment and hardscape sport equipment as needed to support the
final design of the playgrounds and sport court areas. We will work with the Town of
North Andover project staff (including but not limited to representatives from the
Atkinson Elementary School, the Early Childhood Center and the Middle School) to
identify an equipment package that is the most appropriate for the identity, function, and
user groups at this location.
Two (2) restroom buildings located as noted. Storage structure will also be reviewed
with the Town project team and we have assumed one (1) storage building will be
included. We have assumed that the storage building will have lawn care equipment
only (no trucks or passenger vehicles) and a floor drain. Due to the presence of oil and
gasoline, an oil/sand separator will be required. An evaluation will be performed on the
cost/benefit of prefabricated versus stick built (on-site) construction along with an
evaluation of combining these various functions into one structure versus having separate
independent structures. Restroom buildings will not be heated. We have assumed the
structures will not require a fire suppression system.
Concession building will have the ability to cook and prepare food which requires a fuel
source, metering, and other Board of Health required safety/operational elements
(including vent hood). Our scope includes all necessary coordination with the town's
Board of Health to satisfy their needs regarding the food preparation aspect of this
proposed building. Concession building will not be heated. We have assumed the
structure will not require a fire suppression system. An "Ansul" dry agent fire
suppression system will be provided with the commercial hood that we have assumed
will be required in the cooking area. We have assumed that all appliances will be
powered electrically and not by natural gas or propane.
• We have assumed that each of the small ancillary structures noted above will be pre-
fabricated structures. If a stick -built option is desired, additional fees will be required for
the structural engineering that would be required on these items.
NAM I Waterfield Design Group
Amphitheater area will have a solid surface, likely concrete, to serve as a stage or small
performance space. Amphitheater area will have power and audio/visual cables that
could support the performance area controlled remotely within the venue area and a
speaker system that would be procured separately by the Town. We have assumed there
will be no rigging structure on the flush concrete stage and that screens and production
equipment (projectors, amplifiers, sound system controls, etc.) will be procured by
others.
• Up to four (4) security call stations will be included within the site.
The entire project site will be wired to accommodate security cameras. Cameras will be
installed as part of this project. The monitoring of imagery produced by the cameras at
the project site is assumed already in place or would be procured by the Town separately
(either through a separate vendor or by extension of this contract scope). Our scope
assumes we will assist Town in the selection of video camera equipment and the
specification of conduit locations, camera locations, and wiring within the conduit. How
this system is monitored or what this system connects to is not included in our scope
unless the connection involves a simple, readily available integration to an existing
receptor.
• Underground conduit routing will be designed for communication services connecting
each building to either the Middle School or to a new service location brought in from
Route 125. Wiring of the communication conduits is not included.
• Each building will include intrusion detection that will be fed to the Middle School and
door access systems via a key card.
• We have assumed that a separate power feed will need to be brought into the site to
support the various needs as proposed by the concept plan.
• Parking lot canopies that might support solar panels; solar charging stations; and access
control gates are excluded from this scope of work.
• If the ancillary small buildings included in the project require filed sub -bids for bidding,
our scope includes the preparation of a filed sub -bid specification.
• All equipment selections chosen through this design process includes two (2) iterations.
If more interaction is needed, that continued effort will need to be covered on an hourly
basis.
• We have assumed that the field lighting tower foundations will be designed by the
manufacturer of the poles and not require a separate structural engineer's involvement.
Our final design documents will also include all necessary engineering and permitting aspects
required for the stormwater management aspects of the project as designed. This includes the
NAM ( Waterfield Design Group
preparation of Notice of Intent (NOI) documents for submission to the Conservation
Commission and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). We will
include with our submission the necessary Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in
conformance with state and local requirements.
We will prepare a construction staging plan for up to three (3) potential construction phases.
Our fee assumes that we will be splitting the project into three separate bid packages based on
the expected Town funds that may be made available for each phase and based on the goals and
objectives of the Town regarding priorities.
Our deliverable for this task will include all engineering and landscape architecture design plans,
a technical specification, and cost estimate required for the elements noted on the referenced
concept plan and as further described above. Our final deliverable will be two (2) sets of final
design documents (plans, specifications) suitable for advertisement for public bid for
construction by the Town of North Andover. We will utilize a bid form and specification `front
end' provided by the Town (same as McEvoy). Meetings to support the work of Task 5.0 are
defined in Task 6.0.
Task 5.0 Fee $405,000.00
Task 5.1 Fee
Separate Bid Documents $11,200.00
(this was requested by town as a separate line item)
Taslc 6.0 Meetings
During the DD and CD design process, we will meet with the Town of North Andover project
team and abutters. We will also meet with the designers of the proposed Kindergarten Project to
coordinate between the two projects. For this scope of work, we have assumed the following
collection of meetings:
Town Project Team
Planning Board
Board of Selectmen
Conservation Commission
Mass DEP
ECC Design Team
Public presentations
8 (DD/CD meetings included in this number)
3
2
I
If additional meetings become necessary, we can add those to the project for an additional fee
based either on our firm's hourly rates or if a larger number of new meetings are required, we
can submit a supplemental scope of work proposal. All meetings are assumed to be in North
Andover except for MassDOT (Arlington) and Mass DEP (Wilmington).
Task 6.0 Fee $32,500.
,7*M ( Waterfield Design Group
Taslc 7.0 Bid Phase Services
We will assist the Town of North Andover in their management of the public construction bid
process. We will participate in a pre-bid conference on-site. We will respond to any written
questions received during the bid period. We will review the technical aspects of the highest
qualified low bidder. We will review the low bidder's past projects and contact references. We
will prepare a written summary of our results to the Town for their consideration in the final
award of a construction contract. The Town of North Andover shall be responsible for entering
into a legal contract with the selected bidder.
We will perform this process three (3) times due to the phased aspect of the total project.
Task 7.0 Fee $5,000.00 for each construction phase
$15,000.00 for all three phases
Taslc 8.0 Construction Phase Services
Once a firm has been awarded the construction contract, we will participate in one (1) pre -
construction meeting. We will review shop drawings and answer any requests for information
(RFIs). We will review contractor payment requisitions for technical competence only. We will
answer any questions the Town of North Andover has in their daily management and oversight
of the contractor's work. We will meet once weekly on-site with the General Contractor and the
Town to review progress. We have assumed a construction duration of 8 months for each of the
three (3) construction phases (24 months total). Of this period, we have assumed that only 6.5
months will require weekly site visits for job meetings. We have included four (4) special
meetings for general assistance and to accommodate unexpected construction issues. We will
visit the nursery selected by the General Contractor (assumed to be within 100 miles) to tag
major plants and trees. We will perform semi-final and final construction inspections and
prepare a punch list of incomplete and inadequate items. Change orders based on unforeseen
conditions or to accommodate the preferences of either the Town or the General Contractor are
considered out of scope and shall be completed on an hourly basis, if requested.
We will perform this process three (3) times due to the phased aspect of the total project and we
have assumed that each construction phase will require eight (8) months.
Attached to this document is a potential construction phasing plan depicting how the project
could be divided into three separate construction phases.
If a full time on-site Construction Clerk is required, we have provided a separate line item for
this service. Through discussions with the Town, this position is budgeted for a mid-level
experience person, having between 7 and 10 years or more of experience. For each phase, we
have assumed a full time on-site presence of one person for 6.5 months.
Task 8.0 Fee $43,000.00 per phase
$129,000.00 for all 3 phases
Task 8.1 Fee (Optional)
Full Time Clerk $130,000 per phase
