This Task Order pertains to an Agreement by and between the City of Eagle, ("OWNER"
or "City"), and HDR Engineering, Inc. ("ENGINEER" or
"HDR"), dated August 12, 2022, ("the Agreement"). Engineer shall perform services on
the project described below as provided herein and in the Agreement. This Task Order

TASK ORDER NUMBER: 01
PROJECT NAME: Eagle Greenbelt Improvements
PART 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
HDR is currently under contract to provide bank stabilization design for B.B. One, LLC
to protect an approximately 650 linear foot reach of the Boise River west of Eagle Road
(HWY 55). This section has experienced erosion and degradation due to high flows and
human foot traffic over recent years. The project is within the City of Eagle Greenbelt
system and the City is requesting that bank stabilization work include improvements to
the adjacent pathway.
The existing pathway consists of asphalt and gravel surfaces. Because this is a popular,
high activity stretch of the Greenbelt, the City would like to replace with a concrete path
for long term wear. There is a narrow space for a pathway within the existing easement
between the existing riverbank and private property. Realignment and narrowing of the
pathway are anticipated to accommodate the bank repair work and existing conditions.
The primary objective of this task order is to provide the City with a biddable pathway
design that is integral to the B.B. One bank stabilization work while adhering to the
City's "Trails and Pathway Construction Standard"to the extent possible.
PART 2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY ENGINEER ON
THE PROJECT:
HDR will provide support to the City of Eagle (City) as outlined in the following tasks.
Task 1. Task Order Management
Objective:
HDR will provide project management, coordination, and administrative activities
through completion of deliverables.
Approach:
This task will include activities associated with day-to-day management of the Task
Order, including:
• General communication with HDR's project team
• Oversight of Quality Control
Contracts Manual TO- 1 5/2019
• Monthly invoicing
• Progress reporting
Progress reports will briefly describe activities completed by HDR during the period
covered by the invoice.
Assumptions:
• Invoices and TO narrative status reports will be prepared on a monthly basis;
• Project management effort is a function of the project duration and is based on the
schedule included with this scope of services.
• HDR will submit no more than three (3) monthly invoices
Deliverables:
• Monthly invoices and narrative status reports in electronic format (PDF)
Task 2. Topographic Survey
Objective:
The objective of this task is to collect survey point data of the existing conditions to
support pathway design. The survey will be limited to the approximate 650-foot stretch
with bank repairs and will terminate where the existing path transitions to concrete.
Approach:
• HDR will subcontract an Idaho licensed professional land surveyor to conduct a
topographic survey of the site area.
• The survey will be conducted on Idaho State Plane, West datum, ID83-WF
• The survey will include all utilities marked by Idaho Digline, existing hardscapes
and fence lines, and existing ground surface data from the top of bank to the edge
of private property
Assumptions and Exclusions:
• Due to dense tree cover, the survey is expected to require a two-person crew with
optical survey equipment(total station) in lieu of GPS equipment only.
• The survey will be scheduled within one week of receiving NTP and will be
completed within three weeks of NTP, subject to the availability of the survey
firm.
• Boundary survey is excluded (not anticipated to be needed)
• Record of Survey is excluded (not anticipated to be needed)
• Construction Staking is not included (anticipated to be provided by contractor)
Deliverables:
• Topographic Survey exhibit with existing ground contours, site features and
utilities
Contracts Manual TO-2 5/2019
Task 3. Preliminary Design
Objective:
The objective of this task is to develop a preliminary alignment, profile and section detail
for the improved pathway. This task is expected to include the creation of pathway
alignment and width alternatives to be presented to the City for feedback. We anticipate
one meeting with the City to discuss advantages of each alternative and to select the
preferred alternative.
Approach:
• HDR will use the Topographic Survey data (Task 2) to create pathway design
alternatives
• The preliminary designs will include pathway alignment, width and section
details
• Preliminary design will include considerations for site drainage and existing
greenbelt amenities
Assumptions and Exclusions:
• No more than two preliminary design alternatives will be created and presented.
We don't anticipate that there will be many options given the narrow corridor
width
• City will provide HDR comments and confirm a preferred alternative within one
week of preliminary design submittal
• Preliminary design will include draft plan and profile for the trail section and
typical details showing the bank repair sections with proposed trail
• Proposed trail section will not extend beyond the existing bank stabilization
section limits
• A Geotechnical Evaluation is excluded
Deliverables:
• Preliminary Design Alternatives and Exhibits
Task 4. Final Design
Objective:
HDR will develop the final pathway design and construction documents incorporating
City feedback from Task 3. The final design will include the final pathway alignment and
profile with stationing, section detail(s), a finished grade surface with contours and spot
elevations, and drainage details as needed. Final design plans will also include
considerations for contractor access and staging.
Approach:
• The final design will integrate with the B.B. One river stabilization
improvements.
• Issued for Construction Plans will include a cover, general notes, existing
conditions & survey control, site plan, pathway profile, and civil details
Contracts Manual TO-3 5/2019
Assumptions and Exclusions:
• Landscape improvements design will not be included (not anticipated due to
narrow corridor)
• Task and scope of work ends with delivery of Issued for Bidding & Construction
Plans to the City
• The construction project will be a lump sum bid. HDR will provide a bid schedule
with unit quantity estimates
• SWPPP is excluded (less than 1-acre of disturbance is anticipated)
• Minimum Erosion and Sediment Control BMP's to be recommended. Contractor
provide ESC plan and permitting if required.
• Bidding assistance and construction support is excluded but can be provided
under a future scope of work.
• All floodplain permitting, 404 permitting, and stream channel alternation
permitting will be address by BB One LLC as part of the streambank stabilization
design.
Deliverables:
• Issued for Bidding and Construction Pathway Improvements Plans, 22x34 full
size PDF sheets scalable to half size 11x17
• Bid Schedule
PART 3.0 OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES: As defined in Part 2.0
PART 4.0 PERIODS OF SERVICE:
The project will begin on or around September 1, 2022, upon notice to proceed (NTP)
from the City of Eagle and will be complete by November 1, 2022. This schedule is
contingent upon timely feedback from the City at project milestones and surveyor
availability.
PART 5.0 ENGINEER'S FEE:
HDR proposes to complete this work on a time a materials basis not to exceed $24,975.
Additional services needed beyond the scope outlined above and associated budget
amount, if needed, will be authorized by task order amendment(s). Hourly rates are
