Planning Area is 21 - Far East. The consultant has performed the requisite field surveys, geotechnical investigations, and hydraulic calculations necessary to generate the Preliminary Engineering Report which outlined the recommended horizontal and vertical alignments for the proposed sewer. The report concluded that the most economical method for constructing the sewer will be via tunneling methods. The consultant has also completed a Final Design Report, performed all necessary field surveys to generate detailed construction plans, obtained all requisite permits, prepared site-specific maintenance of traffic plans, and produced all specifications necessary for the bidding process.
