Re: Scope of Services for Review of Contractor Submittals for the Gobbi
Street/Oak Manor/Babcock Lane Intersection Alignment Project
Dear Mr. Seanor,
In August 2009, Winzler & Kelly submitted to the City of Ukiah final construction documents
for the subject project. Subsequent to Winzler & Kelly's final submittal, the project was bid and
awarded to Granite Construction and will be constructed this summer. We understand the City
intends to develop a Request for Proposal with the intent to retain a Consultant to conduct
construction management services during construction. In the interim, contractor submittals have
been issued to the City for review and approval, and therefore this scope of services includes a
single task to assist the City in reviewing contractor submittals.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of services is limited to the task below. Client and Consultant acknowledge and agree
that all services provided under this agreement are design professional services.
Task 1- Contractor Submittal Review
Winzler & Kelly will review contractor submittals upon receiving from the City of Ukiah. Upon
completion of the submittal review, Winzler & Kelly will complete the submittal review form
and return to the City. It is assumed that the submittals will be accompanied with the standard
submittal review form provided in the contract Special Provisions. Contractor submittals may
also be received by the City in the form of a Request for Information (RFI) which can also be
reviewed by Winzler & Kelly under this Task.
EXCLUSIONS
This scope of services is based on the following assumptions:
® Contractor submittals and RFIs requiring review of a Geotechnical Engineer are excluded
from this scope of services.
e Other items not included in this scope of services
