CITY OF MERIDIAN
FIVE MILE CREEK PATHWAY DESIGN SERVICES
PURPOSE
The Engineer's scope of services, time of completion and compensation shall be as set forth
herein. Services shall generally be describes as Engineering Design Services per the
Consultant's proposal dated 2/23/10.
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
Project Description
The City of Meridian has developed a Pathways Master Plan to identify a network of
pathways and connectivity that will enhance the community, increase mobility, and
provide additional recreational opportunities. Key to the overall system is the Five Mile
Creek Pathway. Segment H1 of the Five Mile Creek Pathway is approximately 4100 LF,
and connects Fairview Avenue to Pine Avenue, starting opposite of the Lakes Avenue
signal and running adjacent to an existing automotive yard. It then connects near
Crossbill and runs along the east side of the creek through Sterling Creek HOA
common areas. The path continues south along the creek through Danbury Fair HOA
common areas until it reaches Pine Avenue.
The City has received federal funding (CDBG administered through HUD), to construct
this segment of the pathway. The pathway is intended to be a 10' wide multi-directional
shared use asphalt path. No actual roadway crossings are anticipated within the scope
of this segment.
Parametrix, herein called the Consultant, will design the project and supply
documentation in accordance with this scope of work. Civil Survey Consultants is a part
of the project team under a subagreement to Parametrix and will provide survey and
right-of-way/easement professional services. The Meridian Pathways Master Plan
design criteria and ISPWC specifications will be utilized for the design and construction
documents. Construction is expected to occur in Spring 2011.

4.1 Preliminary Desii~n
The pathway design will be developed as necessary to provide adequate information for
construction of the new pathway and associated features. The design will consist of
preparing alignment alternative: that follow the current Meridian Master Pathway Plan,
as well as alternatives for interim connections that avoid property owners that are not
supportive of the project. The preliminary design plan set will be developed after an

Assumptions
• Separate SWPPP sheet; will not be required. All SWPPP items will be shown on
the pathway plans.
• The SWPPP will follow the format of the current (January 2010) general permit.
This format may change prior to completion of the pathway project. Changes to
the permit format may result in additional effort that will be negotiated under a
supplemental agreemen r.
5.0 Environmental Evaluation
Consultant will perform an environmental evaluation for the proposed project. The
project is unlikely to be eligible to meet CFR 58.35 "Categorical Exclusion," as there is
no existing official pathway in triis location - adding a new pathway, even on the
existing irrigation canal access road, is considered a change in use. Therefore, a NEPA
EA is determined necessary. In addition, because of the location within the floodplain,
the project will need to be comK~liant with 24 CFR Part 55.20, "Decision Making
Process." This is an eight-step process to determine if practical alternatives are
available, and includes requirernents for public notice and comment.
Products and Deliverables
• Draft (for internal City re~~iew) and Final (submitted to HUD) NEPA Environmental
Assessment Checklist
Five Mile Creek Pathway Design Page 7 of 13
Project No. 10134
• Agency concurrency lettE;rs
• Public Notification (postcard format) of considering an action in the floodplain
• Final notification (letter format) that no practicable alternatives are available,
including why project must be in the floodplain, alternatives considered, and
mitigation actions (if any}.
Assumptions
• Field work, including formal delineations, will not be required.
For the EA worksheet, the status determination for all resources, except
Floodplain Management, shall be assumed as "B," meaning that the project
activity does not affect the resources under consideration. For all resources
determined as status "B," compliance documentation will be obtained from
existing available sources from the City or through agency Internet materials and
mapping.
In the case of Floodplain Management, the Status Determination is assumed as
"A" The Status Determination of "A" for Floodplain Management will require the
HUD eight-step decision making process. It is assumed that no additional studies
shall be performed as part of this process. It is assumed that any necessary
public meetings shall be incorporated with public meetings as described in Task
2.2.
• For the EA Checklist, only "Natural Resources" and "Other Factors, Flood
Disaster Act" shall have an impact code of (3) "Potentially adverse." All other
NEPA checklist element: shall be considered as (1) "No impact anticipated," or
(2) "Potentially beneficial."
• No new alignment alternatives shall be considered for purposes of the EA,
alternatives shall be defined as technological alternatives that will minimize or
reduce impacts.
• The project will receive ~~ Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
• The City will complete arty documentation associated with the Request for
Release of Funds proce:>s.
• The City will post all public notices in local printed news medium and to relevant
federal, state, and local E~ublic agencies. The City will provide mailing list.
• Postage will be provided by the City.
6.0 Five Mile CreeFc Reclamation
Consultant will prepare a brief technical memo describing future opportunities and
recommendations for restoration of Five Mile Creek. The technical memo will describe
general restoration processes, ;activities, regulations, and funding/grant options. The
memo is not intended to develop site specific restoration recommendations and plans.
The purpose of the memo is to provide the City with information that may facilitate future
development of restoration projects.

permit and "no-rise" certification, and the EPA Notice of Intent (NOI). Consultant will
prepare these permits as a part of this scope of services. The City will also need to
obtain a license agreement with the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District. Consultant
will prepare a letter and plan documents for submittal to the City for review and
transmittal to NMID.

8.0 Geotechnical Services
Consultant will conduct field explorations, laboratory testing, and prepare a report to
provide information regarding the anticipated thickness of pavement sections necessary
for the pathway (pedestrian traffic and occasional light duty pickups).
The field exploration will be performed to evaluate geotechnical conditions and their
influence on the project design and construction. The purpose of the field study will be
to evaluate the nature of earth materials underlying the site and to ascertain their
engineering properties. Six (6) representative samples (extending to at least 1 to 2 feet
in depth).
Laboratory testing will be performed on a collected soil sample to determine an
appropriate pavement section based on the R-Value of the material tested. Two (2) R-
Value tests will be performed.
Consultant will prepare a report presenting the geotechnical analysis findings and
conclusions.

explorations.
9.0 Bid/Construction Assistance (Contingency)
Consultant will be on-call and available to the City to provide assistance throughout the
bid and construction process. This task provides a contingency amount of $5,000 for the
Consultant's effort. This task and contingency budget will only be used with prior
authorization by the City.
10.0 New Five Mile Creek Crossing (Contingency)
In the case that an additional or new crossing is required, the Consultant will prepare
design and permit documents required to construct the crossing. Consultant will conduct
HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling to determine if the no-rise certification can be satisfied
with a standard culvert. Consultant will prepare the preliminary and final design plans
and specifications for the culvert crossing and include the documents in the preliminary
and final submittal packages. Consultant will also prepare the Clean Water Act Section
404 and 401 permits for submittal to the regulatory agencies by the City. This task
provides a contingency amount of $9,000 for the Consultant's effort. This task and
contingency budget will only be used with prior authorization by the City.
Products and Deliverables

Assumptions
• This task assumes the no-rise certification can be satisfied with a standard
culvert. Hydraulic modeling may indicate the need for a bridge. Bridge design is
not a part of this scope of work.

cast box or plate arch). Structural design for the culvert will be provided by the
vendor.
• Wetland and/or hydraulic mitigation will not be required.
