Attachment A
The Project
The project consists of widening approximately 2.8 miles of Concord Road from IH-10 to East Lucas
Street. This project may be divided into two phases of construction. It is anticipated that phase I of
the project will include the improvements from IH-10 to Delaware Street.Phase two will extend from
Delaware to East Lucas.The project requires preparation of a schematic for approval followed by
preparation of separate sets of plans for each phase of construction. The project will be designed
using English units of measurement.
The existing roadway is primarily an 18 foot wide concrete pavement with open ditch drainage. The
proposed pavement section will be either a 37 foot or a 44 foot wide curb and gutter section.
Schaumburg&Polk,Inc.will work with the City of Beaumont to determine the pavement section
and width for this project. The City will provide the geotechnical investigation that will act as the
basis for design of this project.The City will also provide to the engineer all relevant data known to
the city that could be of use on this project.
In addition to preparing a schematic and PS&E for the two phases of this project, Schaumburg&
Polk will design the replacement and/or relocation of city owned utilities in the project area. SPI will
also prepare parcel drawings for RO.W.acquisition,and will conduct a public information or public
participation program as indicated by the issues affecting the project neighborhoods.
The Engineering cost in Section V. anticipates design of offsite drainage improvements of up to
$1,500,000.00. Should offsite drainage improvements greater than this be required for the project
Schaumburg&Polk, Inc. may need to request an adjustment in compensation to cover the extra
work.The costs in Section V anticipate approximately 150 right of way parcels to be acquired as a
part of this project. If offsite improvements cause this number to increase significantly then
Schaumburg&Polk,Inc.may need to request an increase in compensation to cover the cost of the
additional work.
There is no allowance for performance of Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assesments.
These assessments should only be needed if the city acquires commercial property or property that
is otherwise suspect.The need for any work of this kind will be established in the Preliminary phase
of the project.
