forms and other oversized sheets shall be folded to 8½"x11" size. The data shall be in a
hardback folder for submittal to the County.
Quantities — The Consultant shall prepare all required summary of quantities sheets. This
includes all efforts required to develop accurate quantities and the supporting
documentation, including construction days when required.
Roadway Plans: The Consultant shall prepare Roadway, Drainage, Traffic Control, Utility
Adjustment plan sheets, notes, and details. The plans shall include the sheets necessary to
convey the intent and scope of the project for the purposes of construction.
Drainage Analysis — The Consultant shall analyze and document Drainage Tasks in
accordance with all applicable manuals, guidelines, standards, handbooks, procedures, and
current design practices.
The Consultant shall be responsible for designing a drainage and stormwater management
system. All engineering analyses and design work shall comply with the requirements of the
appropriate regulatory agencies and the County’s Drainage Manual.
The Consultant shall coordinate fully with the appropriate permitting agencies and the
County’s staff. All activities and submittals should be coordinated through the County’s
Project Manager.
