PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND – This project proposes to design a new road that will provide an alternate route for freight and vehicles from the main state highway, SR-531, east of 169th Street NE and support the fast-growing industrial area located in the Cascade Industrial Center (CIC). The 169th St Connector will have an E-W alignment connecting Smokey Point Blvd on the west to 43rd Ave NE and 168th Street NE on the east and include multimodal improvements.
This city has been working with an engineering consulting firm and have completed a 30% drawing design package. The current stage of design is approaching a 60% design package, and the prospective engineering firm will need to establish communication with the previous consultants to continue with the design from its current stage, as needed.
PROJECT –Continue the design of a new road with two travel lanes and grade separated pedestrian facilities, a 5-foot-wide sidewalk on one side (where applicable) and a 12-foot-wide multiuse trail on the other. The roadway will include pedestrian and street lighting, street amenities (landscaping, benches, trash cans, etc.), and local area art (where applicable); it will also include new storm utilities for the proposed hardscape and converting a type 3 urban ditch to new underground culvert beneath the proposed roadway.
This roadway will be located in between commercial and residentially zoned areas. The project will require intersection design for the intersections located at 40th Ave NE and 43rd Ave NE. The new road will total approximately 0.31 miles.
FUNDING – This project has received federal funding for the completion of the project design. The City of Arlington is providing matching local funds as well.
SCOPE OF WORK
The work to be performed by the CONSULTANT includes engineering analysis, design plans, specifications and estimate necessary for the project to receive NEPA certification and advertisement for the 169th St. Connector Improvement project. The major features of the project are as follows:
• Preliminary Design Data Collection: Consultant team shall collect necessary data and information for the successful completion of this project. This includes coordination with the previous consulting firm to obtain existing design data, as needed.
• Design Reports and Studies: Consultant team shall complete all studies and evaluations necessary for the successful completion of this project design and permitting.
• Project Design and Specifications: Consultant team shall prepare preliminary and final engineering plans and specifications (60%, 90% and Issue for Bid (IFB)), project bid documents and ROW Plans. All submittals shall be consistent with WSDOT standards for federally funded projects.
• Estimate of Project Costs: Consultant Team shall prepare an estimate of probable costs for the construction phase (60%, 90% and Issue for Bid (IFB)). The contract shall be on a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee basis.
