PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Loyalsock Township will be selecting an engineering firm as Project Engineer to undertake project design,
prepare technical specifications, assist with the bidding process, and oversee the construction of multiple
curb cuts and handicap ramps. Based on current available funding, it is anticipated that approximately
51 curb cuts can be reconstructed. The proposed project includes curb cut reconstructions to meet ADA
compliance on all curbs, ramps, landings, and sidewalks at the following designated locations:
• Homewood Ave at Russell Ave (4)
• Homewood Ave at Pearson Ave (4)
• Homewood Ave at Clayton Ave (4)
• Homewood at Wyndahm Ct. (4)
• Homewood Ave at Tinsman Ave (4)
• Westminster Dr at Edercrest Rd (2)
• Morgan Ave at Blair St. (4)
• Morgan Ave at Sheridan St. (4)
• Morgan Ave at Reed St. (2)
• Tinsman Ave at Reed St. (4)
• Tinsman Ave at Blair St. (4)
• Clayton Ave at Blair St. (4)
• Clayton Ave at Reed St. (2)
• Russell Ave at Sheridan St. (2)
• Russel Ave at Blair St. (2)
• Sheridan St. at Pearson Ave (1)
Construction is to be completed by 11/1/2026.
Curb cuts should be designed utilizing the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT)
standard design for curb ramps and sidewalks. In addition, precast truncated domes will be installed at all
identified locations. All curb cuts, handicap ramps and other elements shall conform to all applicable local,
state, and federal regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. The
Project Engineer will assist Loyalsock Township in compliance with the Pennsylvania Department of
Community and Economic Development (DCED) Architectural Barriers Guidance, (CDBG 01-2016),
attached. This includes the following:
• An assessment of the pedestrian access route to the curb cut.
• Based on information provided by the Township, certification of the need for reconstruction
of the proposed curb cuts IF they have been installed or otherwise reconstructed since 2008.
• Completion of PennDOT’s Technically Infeasible Form (TIF) for all curb cuts to be designed,
which are technically infeasible. This document must be assessed and certified by a third party
that is not employed by the same firm performing the design.

PROJECT DESIGN
The Engineer shall prepare all necessary design plans, drawings and specifications to be used for the
construction of the improvements and should therefore be complete in detail and contain all necessary
information. Drawings shall conform with standard professional practice and consist of all architectural
and engineering drawings, including profiles and sections, plot, and site plans, and all else necessary to
illustrate the interest and scope of the work. Working drawings shall be prepared for structural, hydraulic,
mechanical, electrical, and all other branches of the construction work.
The Engineer shall investigate any existing systems affected by the proposed project, identifying options,
and advising the Township in the most appropriate method of modifying the systems as part of the design
of this project. Plans and specifications shall be developed in such a manner to delete and add segments
should the project costs be over or under budget.
1. All permits, plans, or surveys which may be necessary to define the scope of the work or for the
performance of the project shall be the responsibility of the Engineer. The quotation shall include
a list of those permits currently anticipated as necessary, identifying actual permit fees which shall
be paid by the Engineer as a component of their project quotation. Survey work required for
easements/rights-of-way is not a part of this quotation. Federal Environmental Reviews, State
Historic Preservation Office Review, and Archaeological Reviews are not a part of this quotation.
Assistance from the Engineer is necessary for SEDA-COG and the Township to fully understand
the project, and therefore, meeting attendance is of high importance. Accordingly, this quotation
shall include four (4) design phase meetings, as well as four (4) preconstruction meetings (as
noted below), at which the Engineer is expected to be in attendance. These meetings shall be
conducted during the design and construction specifications phase at the convenience of the
Township, and shall include the following:
- Design phase meetings
o A kick-off meeting
o Two (2) development meetings
o A meeting to present the final design and receive approval to advertise
- Preconstruction meeting(s) – (Engineer will coordinate and prepare meeting agenda w/
minutes.)
o Pre-bid meeting (optional)
▪ Note: Required if using an electronic bidding service such as PennBid
o Bid Opening (Engineer will prepare bid tabulation form)
o Award – (Engineer will make formal recommendation to award)
- Preconstruction Conference
2. The Township may request, and the Engineer may suggest, additional meetings. Accordingly,
proposers should indicate their intention to do so in the narrative of their quotation. Any cost
associated with additional meetings shall be included on the standard Engineers Estimate form.
3. A project design schedule must be included as part of this quotation indicating key milestones and
dates of completion. All final plans and specifications must be submitted for approval by the
Township. In addition, the Engineer must provide a list of sub consultants, if applicable, for
approval by the Township. It is the intention of the Township to advertise for construction bids
