Task 1 – Project Planning and Management
GRAEF will:
• Attend a Project Kick-off Meeting to discuss scope of the proposed project, verify the
project schedule, discuss Muskego construction documents standards, identify key
project concerns, and discuss modeling alternatives.
• Provide quality management during the project and overall project management.
Task 2 - Survey
GRAEF will perform a topographic field survey for:
• The proposed storm sewer alignment (right-of-way to right-of way) along Catalina
Drive and Brentwood Drive.
• The proposed open channel in Kurth Park from Brentwood Drive to the Lamb
Nursery property.
• The proposed open channel in the Lamb Nursery property between Kurth Park and

features, existing ground contours, tree sizes, and pipe diameters noted in inches, rim
and invert elevations.
Task 3 – Hydraulic Design Analysis
Peak discharges and preliminary storm sewer pipe sizes were prepared as part of the
drainage study for Cornell Drive and Catalina Drive. This existing XP-SWMM model will
be used to evaluate alternative storm sewers sizes to estimate the benefits of larger
storm sewers or more efficient storm sewers on the depth of stormwater ponding during
low recurrence rainfall events.
GRAEF will provide a preliminary opinion of probable construction cost for each pipe
size and material. This will assist the Board of Public Works in making an informed
decision as to which pipe size is the most attractive while providing the most benefit
possible.
A comparison matrix will then be prepared for presentation by City staff to the Board of
Public Works. This matrix will include a cost estimate for each pipe size or material
combination and the depths of stormwater ponding remaining at the Cornell and Catalina
Drives intersection.
In addition the existing XP-SWMM model will also be used to evaluate:
• Adding inlet modifications and capacity to the proposed stormwater conveyance
system.
• Analysis of a supplemental or a replacement storm sewer to convey stormwater
eastward along Cornell Drive to Catalina Drive.
GRAEF will meet with City staff to discuss the resulting comparison matrix.
Task 4 – Storm Sewer Design
After the Public Works Committee selects the size of storm sewer for design, GRAEF
will provide storm sewer design services that will include the preparation of construction
documents for the proposed storm sewer project. Engineering design will consist of the
following elements:
• Storm sewer material selection.
• Meeting with City to review preliminary plans of 1,700 feet of storm sewer and inlet
modifications.

Mr. David Simpson, P.E. -5- January 18, 2011
• Final Construction Documents consisting of the following information:
o Title Sheet
o 1 inch = 20 feet plan and profile sheets of the storm sewer
o Construction details for the open channel between the end of the storm water
and Tess Corners Creek
o Details for new and modified inlets and the storm sewer outfall
o Erosion Control and Restoration Plans
• Revise City standard technical specifications to include material used for this project.
• Utility Coordination:
o GRAEF will contract utilities (the City for water and sewer, ATT, cable, and WE
for gas and electric) based on facility maps provided by utility companies and
topographic survey collected by our survey crews within the project area. The
survey will identify existing private and public utilities in the vicinity of the project.
Known utilities will be provided a copy of the survey to verify the location of their
facilities.
o A utility coordination meeting may be conducted during the design process to
define any necessary facility adjustments and to establish a timeline for the
adjustments to be made.
• An opinion of probable construction cost for the final design.
• A project manual will be prepared for the project in accordance with the standard as
provided by the City.
• Final construction document review meeting.
Task 5 – Permitting
Although no wetlands are expected, the last 100 feet of the project where the new storm
sewer will discharge, via an open channel into Tess Corners Creek, may have wetlands.
GRAEF is proposing a wetland review. A GRAEF wetland scientist will review
background information and visit the site to determine if a wetland is possibly present. If
none are present, then document that wetlands based upon this review are not present.

Mr. David Simpson, P.E. -6- January 18, 2011
If there is a possibility of a wetland then GRAEF would proceed with a wetland
delineation (see Alternate Services).
It is anticipated that a general permit will be required to connect the proposed storm
sewer outfall to Tess Corners Creek via the open channel. GRAEF will request an
Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) Determination to verify that the outfall is outside of
the OHWM and meet with WDNR to confirm that a general permit is all that is required.
GRAEF will then prepare both the general permit application and the NOI.
Task 6 – Bidding Services
GRAEF will assist the City during bidding as follows:
• Attend the bid opening.
• Analyze the bids received.
• Prepare a recommendation to the City for award of the construction contract.
Alternate Services
Wetland Delineation
Based upon the background date collected and reviewed in Task 5, GRAEF may need
to perform a wetland determination and delineation within 50 feet of the open channel
using the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory,
1987) and the Sept. 2008 Corps of Engineers Interim Midwest Regional Supplement. If a
waterway exists without a wetland, mark the approximate Ordinary High Water Mark
(OHWM).
GRAEF will coordinate with our surveyors to locate the wetland boundary flags or
OHWM flags placed in the Field Investigation.
If wetlands are identified and delineated, a brief letter report will be prepared that
documents the wetland investigation. The purposes of the report will be to define
jurisdictional wetland boundaries and describe the rationale and methods that were
used. A draft copy of this report will be sent to the City for approval before it is sent to
the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and the Corps of Engineers
for their review and concurrence.

Water Resources Application for Project Permits
If the project requires an individual permit, GRAEF will prepare the Water Resources
Application for Project Permits application. (This is the old Chapter 30 permit.)
Water Quality BMP Design
The drainage study for the Cornell/Catalina suggested adding a water quality Best
Management Practice (a small wet detention pond) in Kurth Park that would treat flows
up to the 2-year discharge. Design tasks for the design would include additional survey,
geotechnical investigations (one soil boring and soil testing), TSS reduction evaluation,
additional WDNR permitting, landscaping plans, native vegetation plans, and
coordination meetings with the City’s Park Department.
