APPENDIX A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
2.1 General
Generally, the scope of services includes traffic studies, partial schematic study, and conceptual design
services for improvements to Mount Comfort Road from I-540 to Rupple Road in Fayetteville,
Arkansas. Improvements will consist primarily of street reconstruction and widening, including curb
and gutter and drainage improvements, with alignment improvements at intersections of Mount Comfort
Road, Porter Road; Shiloh Drive (frontage road), Deane Solomon, and the west 1-540 ramps. The
typical section will be 4 lanes (with 5 lanes at intersections) with curb and gutter, no landscaped
medians, and sidewalks on both sides. Garver will provide traffic studies at Mount Comfort's
intersection with I-540 (including Porter Road, Shiloh Drive (frontage road), Deane Solomon, and the
west 1-540, ramps), Salem Road, and Rupple Road.
2.2 Design Surveys, Property Surveys, and Property Acquisition Documents
2.2.1 Design Surveys
Garver's fee for Design Surveys is based on field surveys along the Mount Comfort corridor from
approximately 500 feet west of the north segment of Rupple Road to approximately 400 feet south of
the east I-540 ramps on Porter Road, including the intersection area of the west 1-540 ramps, Shiloh
Drive (frontage road), Mount Comfort Road, Deane Solomon, and Porter Road as shown on an exhibit
provided by the City. Surveys are also planned to extend 200 feet along intersecting residential streets
and 500 feet along Salem Road.
Field surveys will include cross sections, utilizing radial topography methods, at intervals and for
distances on each side of the streets as appropriate for modeling the existing ground, including locations
of any pertinent features or improvements between sections along the designated limits of the project.
Buildings and other structures, streets, drainage features, trees over eight inches in diameter, general
boundaries of tree lines, visible utilities, underground utilities marked by their owners and/or
representatives, and any other pertinent topographic features that may be encountered on the project site,
will be located.
Permanent control points will be established along the alignment utilizing GPS methods in combination
with electronic total stations and data collectors noting the coordinates and elevations to the nearest 0.01
foot. All survey data will be tied to the City of Fayetteville's plane coordinate system and all elevations
will be tied to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 1929.
Garver will postpone survey work on the study portions of the project until the City of Fayetteville
defines the improvements to be designed and authorizes Garver to proceed.
2.2.2 Property Surveys
The scope of Property Surveys will be added with a future amendment to this agreement. The City of
Fayetteville will provide property ownership information for Garver to use on the Concept Plans and
public meeting exhibits.

2.3 Schematic Study
The Schematic Study Phase is limited to:
Intersection area of the west 1-540 ramps, Shiloh Drive (frontage road), Mount Comfort
Road, Deane Solomon, and Porter Road. The schematic drawings will utilize the existing
City -furnished mapping for preparing a base map. No vertical information will be provided
in the Schematic Phase for this area.
Mount Comfort Road from north segment of Rupple Road to Hidden Creek Road and
realignment of south segment of Rupple Road. The schematic drawings will utilize the
existing City -furnished mapping for preparing a base map and DTM.
The purposes of this schematic study phase will include defining the extent, type, and alignment for
the improvements to be designed; coordinating the proposed improvements with the City, AHTD,
adjacent property owners, and utility companies; determining project limits; and developing an order
of magnitude cost estimate for these portions of the overall project.
Specific details to be addressed during the Schematic Study Phase include:
1. Project limits on west end of Mount Comfort Road. Garver will evaluate improvements on
Mount Comfort Road from the north segment of Rupple Road to Hidden Creek Road. Garver
will also evaluate improvements for realigning the south segment of Rupple Road, which will
likely include a bridge over Hamestring Creek.
2. Improvements at 1-540. Garver will evaluate up to three different alignment alternatives
(potentially including a roundabout) for the intersections of the west I-540 ramps, Shiloh
Drive (frontage road), Mount Comfort Road, Deane Solomon, and Porter Road and will make
a recommendation to the City of Fayetteville.
2.4 Conceptual Design
Garver will not begin the Conceptual Design Phase for the area near 1-540 until authorized by the

the east 1-540 ramps on Porter Road, including the intersection area of the west 1-540 ramps, Shiloh
Drive (frontage road), Mount Comfort Road, Deane Solomon, and Porter Road. The south segment
of Rupple Road and the segment of Mount Comfort west of Rupple Road, included in the Schematic
Study Phase, are not included in the Conceptual Design Phase.
The purposes of this conceptual design phase will include confirming the extent and type of
improvements to be designed further under a separate agreement or amendment; coordinating the
proposed improvements with the City, AHTD, adjacent property owners, and utility companies; and
developing an order of magnitude cost estimate for the project. The Concept Design should represent
roughly 20 to 30 percent construction documents.
The submittal will include preliminary typical sections, plan and profile sheets showing horizontal
and vertical geometry of the roadway, major drainage structures, cross sections, right-of-way
requirements, and an opinion of probable construction cost.

APPENDIX A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
2.1 General
Generally, the scope of services includes traffic studies, partial schematic study, and conceptual design
services for improvements to Mount Comfort Road from I-540 to Rupple Road in Fayetteville,
Arkansas. Improvements will consist primarily of street reconstruction and widening, including curb
and gutter and drainage improvements, with alignment improvements at intersections of Mount Comfort
Road, Porter Road, Shiloh Drive (frontage road), Deane Solomon, and the west I-540 ramps. The
typical section will be 4 lanes (with 5 lanes at intersections) with curb and gutter, no landscaped
medians, and sidewalks on both sides. Garver will provide traffic studies at Mount Comfort's
intersection with I-540 (including Porter Road, Shiloh Drive (frontage road), Deane Solomon, and the
west I-540 ramps), Salem Road, and Rupple Road.
2.2 Design Surveys, Property Surveys, and Property Acquisition Documents
2.2.1 Design Surveys
Garver's fee for Design Surveys is based on field surveys along the Mount Comfort corridor from
approximately 500 feet west of the north segment of Rupple Road to approximately 400 feet south of
the east I-540 ramps on Porter Road, including the intersection area of the west I-540 ramps, Shiloh
Drive (frontage road), Mount Comfort Road, Deane Solomon, and Porter Road as shown on an exhibit
provided by the City. Surveys are also planned to extend 200 feet along intersecting residential streets
and 500 feet along Salem Road.
Field surveys will include cross sections, utilizing radial topography methods, at intervals and for
distances on each side of the streets as appropriate for modeling the existing ground, including locations
of any pertinent features or improvements between sections along the designated limits of the project.
Buildings and other structures, streets, drainage features, trees over eight inches in diameter, general
boundaries of tree lines, visible utilities, underground utilities marked by their owners and/or
representatives, and any other pertinent topographic features that may be encountered on the project site,
will be located.
Permanent control points will be established along the alignment utilizing GPS methods in combination
with electronic total stations and data collectors noting the coordinates and elevations to the nearest 0.01
foot. All survey data will be tied to the City of Fayetteville's plane coordinate system and all elevations
will be tied to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 1929.
Garver will postpone survey work on the study portions of the project until the City of Fayetteville
defines the improvements to be designed and authorizes Garver to proceed.
2.2.2 Property Surveys
The scope of Property Surveys will be added with a future amendment to this agreement. The City of
Fayetteville will provide property ownership information for Garver to use on the Concept Plans and
public meeting exhibits.

2.3 Schematic Study
The Schematic Study Phase is limited to:
• Intersection area of the west I-540 ramps, Shiloh Drive (frontage road), Mount Comfort
Road, Deane Solomon, and Porter Road. The schematic drawings will utilize the existing
City -furnished mapping for preparing a base map. No vertical information will be provided
in the Schematic Phase for this area.
• Mount Comfort Road from north segment of Rupple Road to Hidden Creek Road and
realignment of south segment of Rupple Road. The schematic drawings will utilize the
existing City -furnished mapping for preparing a base map and DTM.
The purposes of this schematic study phase will include defining the extent, type, and alignment for
the improvements to be designed; coordinating the proposed improvements with the City, AHTD,
adjacent property owners, and utility companies; determining project limits; and developing an order
of magnitude cost estimate for these portions of the overall project.
Specific details to be addressed during the Schematic Study Phase include:
1. Project limits on west end of Mount Comfort Road. Garver will evaluate improvements on
Mount Comfort Road from the north segment of Rupple Road to Hidden Creek Road. Garver
