AECOM
I. Preparation and coordination with federal, state, and local agencies to obtain the necessary
permits for the construction of the project;
J. Project management including coordination with City staff, attending in person and web-
based plan review and permitting meetings.
Scope of Services
Task 1— Topographic and Bathymetric Surveys
1. Collect topographic and baythmetric survey information to aid in the construction of the basin
retrofit components.
A. Utilize NAVD88 for the vertical datum and the Winnebago County Coordinate
System for the horizontal datum.
B. The collected survey data will supplement the existing base-map that was
completed in AutoCAD 2011 by AECOM in April of 2014 for the preliminary
design needs study.
C. The project area to be surveyed is illustrated in Figure 1. The terrestrial survey
shall include the following:
i. Contact Digger's Hotline to have utilities marked within the project areas outlined
above.
ii. Locate underground and overhead utilities.
iii. Obtain rim and invert elevations of sanitary and storm sewer manholes and catch
basins.
iv. Measure catch basin size, document grate type and document sanitary and storm
sewer main sizes. Survey will include a minimum of one manhole upstream and
downstream of the survey boundary line for all utilities).
v. Note any deficiencies or damage to the manholes, note offset direction of manhole
and provide digital photography of interior of manholes. Photos to include not only
the interior of the manhole, but also the condition of adjusting rings.
vi. Sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main structures outside the limits of the
survey, but connected to structures within the survey limits shall be located,
measured and documented to determine potential conflicts in line and grade of
proposed utility improvements.
vii. Locate the following other features within the survey limits to provide a digital
terrain model: Including but not limited to centerline of streets, curb and gutter,
sidewalks, driveway aprons, pavements, buildings, signs, trees, concrete pavement
joints, cracks in the pavement, utilities marked through Diggers Hotline and
property monuments.
D. The Bathymetric Survey shall include the following:
i. Supplement existing bathymetric survey (Rettler 2013) with an additional information

Scope-8-28-15.docx
AECOM
on sediment depth and current top of sediment.
ii. Normal water level (NWL) of each basin
iii. AECOM will utilize a 2-person survey crew to perform manual soundings within the
3 basins at the project site. Field-work will include tie-in to a National Geodetic
Survey (NGS) benchmark on the NAVD88 datum and will be performed from a
motorized 12-foot jonboat.
iv. Two (2) types of ineasurements will be conducted from the jonboat.
a. The first type of ineasurement will utilize a graduated survey pole or similar
device equipped with an 8-inch diameter circular disk to determine the depth of
water (water surface to the top of soft bottom) to provide spot check depth
information.
b. The second type of ineasurement will utilize a pole or threaded rod manually
pushed into the basin bottom. The extended pole length below water level will
be recorded and will be used as an approximation of bottom of loose sediment.
Trimble RTK survey equipment will be used to record the position of each
sounding.
v. After data collection is complete, the field data will be imported to AutoCAD and
each set of data will be interpolated into a triangulated irregular network (TIN) using
Civil 3D. One (1)-foot contours will be interpolated for each set of data, for each of
the 3 basins. Following generation of the contours, an isopach map will be
generated showing the estimated thickness of sediment throughout the basin. The
isopach map will depict contours of equal sediment thickness. The isopach map
will also include a volume quantity estimate of sediment for each basin.
vi. Basin survey and data collection will be coordinated with environmental sediment
sampling efforts.
Task 2- Wetland Delineation and Reporting
2. Perform wetland delineation and reporting.
A. Wetland Investigation
A background data search will be conducted to establish the historic and existing wetland
conditions at the project site. The documents used to characterize the subject property
may include:
i. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-Minute Topographic Quadrangle Maps.
ii. Aerial Photographs (multiple years if available).
iii. Wisconsin Wetland Inventory (WWI) Maps,
a. http://dnrmaps.wi.qov/SUViewer.html?Viewer-SWDV&runWorkflow=Wetland
iv. County Soil Survey & County Hydric Soils List for Winnebago County, Wisconsin
(USDA/NRCS), (httq://websoilsurvev.nres.usda.qov/app/)
L:Vibrary�Dept\WAT_RES\Marketing\PROPOSALS\Oshkosh�South Park Design Services�South Park Area Basin ReVofit Design Proposal-Final
Scope-8-28-15.docx
AECOM
v. Antecedent precipitation data' (rainfall data 3 months prior to site visit)
Pertinent background data will be summarized in the wetland delineation report.
B. Wetland Delineation
The wetland delineation will be conducted by an AECOM wetland scientist to
assess the three mandatory wetland criteria as outlined in the USACE Wetland
Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and the Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral
and Northeast Region (Version 2.0, January 2012). The three wetland criteria are
vegetation, soils, and hydrology.
ii. A vegetation survey will be conducted to determine the dominant plant species for
each vegetation stratum. The hydrophytic vegetation will be assessed through on-
site identification of plants in the various distinct plant communities. A list of the
dominant species present in each community will be determined and the USACE
2014 National Wetland Plant List, Version 3.2z will be used to determine the
wetland indicator status of each dominant plant species.
iii. Hydric soils will be assessed by coring the soil profile with a hand-operated
sampling tube and lead-filled rubber mallet. Soil development will be described
using the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Classification System. Soils
will be described by soil color (Munsell� Soil Color Chart), soil texture, organic
content, consistency, moisture content, and special soil characteristics, such as
mottling and gleyed conditions. The standard reference, Field Indicators of Hydric
Soils in the United States, Version 7.0 (USDA/NRCS 2010), will be used to
determine if the soils are considered hydric.
iv. The hydrologic conditions will be visually assessed to determine if there is evidence
that the site is subject to flooding or ponding, evidence that the soil is saturated
currently or was saturated recently, presence of landscape and vegetation
characteristics that indicate contemporary rather than historical wet conditions, or
presence of standing surface water or groundwater. Field observations and
conclusions must consider antecedent precipitation conditions. A summary of
antecedent precipitation conditions (three months prior to site visit) will be
evaluated. This information will be compared with background data to estimate the
long-term and seasonal hydrology.
v. Information gathered in the field will be recorded on USACE's Data Forms. In
addition, each wetland area will be classified in accordance with the Wisconsin
Wetland Inventory Map wetland classification system. Representative photographs
will be taken of each wetland delineated.
vi. Identified waterways within the project area (not including the existing basins) will

be characterized by recording width, substrate, bank height, and water depth of the
waterway at the time of the investigation.
vii. Delineated wetland and waterway boundaries will be surveyed in coordination with
other survey efforts performed in Task 1. Boundary information will be downloaded
into a GIS map project, which will be used to create figures for the wetland
delineation report.
viii. A wetland delineation report will be prepared to document the findings of the
background information review, describe the field procedures, and provide the
results of the field investigation and evaluation. The report will include pertinent
background material, maps showing any delineated wetland boundaries and
waterways, photographs, USACE Data Forms, and any additional information as
required by the Guidance for Submitta! of Delineation Reports to the St. Paul
District USACE and the WDNR (March 2015).
C. Regulatory Agency Coordination
i. Prior to submitting any wetland permit package, it may be necessary to have a site
visit with the regulatory agencies to confirm the delineated wetland boundaries and
allow the agencies to see the existing site conditions. If necessary, AECOM will
coordinate with the WDNR and USACE staff for the site visit.
ii. If needed, AECOM will request a jurisdictional determination from the USACE on
whether or not the wetland is considered an isolated wetland. If it is deemed an
isolated wetland, only permits from the WDNR are required for wetland impacts. If
it is deemed a non-isolated wetland, then permits from both the USACE and WDNR
are required for wetland impacts.
iii. If necessary (based on wetland impacts), a pre-application meeting is required for
individual permit submittals. A pre-application meeting checklist is provided by
WDNR and will be utilized prior to submittal of information to the WDNR and
USACE. Items to be discussed during this meeting and suggestions on
materials/data to be available for the meeting are included in the checklist. The
required information will be submitted to the regulatory agencies prior to the pre-
application meeting. If it can be arranged, the USACE will be invited to attend the
pre-application meeting.
iv. Wetland mitigation is required with all individual permits. Types of compensatory
wetland mitigation include Wetland Mitigation Banking, In-Lieu Fee Program, and
Permitee Responsible Mitigation. The new Wisconsin regulations identify
participation in mitigation banking and in—lieu fee programs as the preferred
avenues to satisfying compensatory mitigation requirements. The Mitigation
Summary Worksheet will be filled out and submitted to the WDNR and USACE
prior to the pre-application meeting.
Task 3— Geotechnical Investigation and Reporting
3. Perform geotechnical investigation and analysis for the production of construction drawings
and technical specifications.
A. PerForm a subsurface investigation at the project site including:

consolidation locations, existing or proposed spillway, proposed berm, and basin
expansion areas. Borings will be located using GPS and staked or otherwise
marked and an elevation will be provided from GPS. (See Figure 1.)
iv. Mobilize an ATV-mounted drill rig to the site.
a. Borings will extend to a minimum depth of 25 feet below the current site grades
b. Temporary PVC standpipe monitoring wells will be installed in two of the borings
to evaluate the long term groundwater level at the site.
■ Water levels will be monitored bi-weekly for 4 months
v. Obtain representative soil samples to the termination depth of the borings. Soil
samples will be collected at 2.5 foot intervals for the full depth of all the borings. In
general, standard penetration test (SPT) samples will be obtained in accordance
with applicable ASTM standards. AECOM may obtain some undisturbed soil
samples in cohesive soils using thin-walled Shelby tubes in general accordance
with applicable ASTM standards. If Solid Waste and/or Urban Fill is encountered
additional samples will be collected for analytical laboratory analysis for landfill
disposal permit application.
vi. Observe groundwater conditions during drilling and prepare field logs documenting
drilling methods, SPT results, and ongoing groundwater observations.
vii. Perform in-situ falling head hydraulic conductivity testing in the two wells to
determine the in-situ permeability of the soils below the bottom of the basins.

Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) NR141 requirements after completion of
the long term groundwater monitoring.
ix. Review and classify the retained samples in accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
textural classification system. Routine strength, classification, and index tests will
be performed on representative samples obtained from the borings, as necessary,
and boring logs prepared. Our laboratory testing program also includes sieve and
hydrometer tests, Atterberg Limits tests, hydraulic conductivity, and Modified
Proctor tests to assess on-site soils for use as an in-situ clay liner or re-compacted
clay liner for the proposed basins.
x. Analyze the soil and groundwater conditions encountered in the borings with
respect to the proposed basin, and storm sewer construction.

Project Assumptions and Considerations
Wetland Assumptions
For the purpose of this Wetland Investigation Scope of Services/Costs, the following assumptions
were made:
1. The wetland delineation for the site will include one AECOM wetland scientist for one field
day including travel and expenses.
iFa
2. The wetland investigation will be conducted during the growing season for the project area
(late April to October).
3. The field wetland delineation will be completed within the proposed area of the existing /
expanded basins. (See Figure 1). If the field wetland delineation is required to extend
beyond the area, additional costs may be necessary to complete the field wetland
delineation and are not included in this Scope of Services.
4. No additional wetland boundary survey costs are included in this Scope of Services since a
hand-held GPS unit will be used in the field to survey the wetland/upland boundaries and
waterway locations. As requested, field GPS data will be collected in Winnebago County
Coordinates.
5. Property access will be arranged by the Client prior to mobilizing for the field assessment.
6. The Client will provide access to existing reports, plans, and other information, if available,
that may be required to complete this Scope of Services.
7. The Client will designate a representative for the project who will have the authority to
transmit instructions, receive information, interpret and define policies, and make decisions
with respect to the project.
8. AECOM will provide a draft copy of the delineation report for review and comment to the
Client. Review comments from the client will be incorporated in the final versions prior to
submittal to the Client and regulatory agencies. This Scope of Services does not include
multiple reviews by the Client.
Design Considerations
1. Diversion of water and water management during construction to convey flows from the
quarry and storm events must be considered.
2. Dewatering of dredged material must be incorporated into design as well as evaluation of the
material quality for disposal options.
3. OutFalls should be consolidated if possible to reduce the number and make more
aesthetically pleasing. The outFalls, bank treatments, spillways, and other structural features
will be evaluated with the Engineering Division and Parks Department. The consolidated
outFalls will be analyzed to provide the hydraulic capacity needs of the upstream storm
sewers.
4. The historic bridge crossing the west basin must be evaluated, rehabilitated, and remain an
integral part of the park features.
L:Uibrary�Dept\WAT_RES\Marke6ng\PROPOSALS\Oshkosh\South Park Design Services\South Park Area Basin Retrofit Design Proposal-Final
Scope-8-28-15.docx
AECOM
5. Coordinate with City of Oshkosh Parks Department on potential impacts to existing and
proposed park features including "Memory Trees".
6. Evaluate features that reduce goose access, ingress/egress to the park.
7. Reestablish deeper pools of water in areas of the basins to accommodate improved urban
fishery habitat.
8. Consider and incorporate sediment forebays into the design that can be accessed for
improved sediment trapping and routine maintenance and sediment removal in the future.
9. Consider features that allow the drawdown of the water for future maintenance/dredging.
10. The following statement made by the WDNR via email regarding permit requirements will
remain valid: "Since this pond is not within 500 feet of a navigable waterway, and is not
considered a wetland pond, then no permits from my program would be required for you to
enlarge it. It may, however, require a permit from the wastewater program if dewatering will
occur ". In addition, the spillways will not be considered to require any dam permitting
efforts.
11. AECOM will subcontract with Rettler Corporation in accordance with the attached
Professional Design Scope of Services dated July 22, 2015 to incorporate shoreline
stabilization, overlooks, aeration fountains, decorative pavement plaza spaces, park
restoration, and other design aspects that require coordination between the South Park
Master Plan and the construction documents.
