SCOPE OF SERVICES 
CITY OF ATHENS 
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 
RFQ 1716 
 
FUNDING, ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE, AND ENGINEERING SERVICES 
FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS 
 
December 23, 2021 
OVERVIEW 
Stantec (the Consultant) has been selected under RFQ 1716 to provide funding guidance, environmental compliance 
and engineering consulting services related to the implementation and construction of two projects.  The projects 
are both referred to in this proposal and the resulting scope of work as Project A (the City Park Athens City Schools 
Campus Transportation Improvements, or CTI) and Project B (the Historic Downtown Transportation Alternatives, 
or HDTA).  This proposal defines a standard scope of work for each, following TDOT’s Local Programs Guidelines and 
standard TDOT project development phases. TDOT’s project Phases are: 
• Preliminary Engineering-Environmental Only 
• Preliminary Engineering for Final Design 
• Right-of-Way (including final plans, bid documents, engineer’s estimate, etc.) 
• Construction 
Due to specific factors of each of the two projects, not all the procedures within these Phases are applicable, and this 
scope of work indicates where a task component may have no work associated with it. In each task, the Consultant 
has stated any assumptions we have used to determine this scope, recognizing that RFQ 1716 included potentially a 
wide range of projects. 
 
Even though these projects may not pursue State or Federal funding, we have structured our services in a manner 
consistent with how these would be administered with TDOT management guidance. It is Stantec’s intent that all 
design activities will be performed in accordance with the following standards and criteria (at a minimum): 
• TDOT Multi-Modal Design Guidelines 
• TDOT Roadway Design Manual 
• TDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction  
• AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 
• AASHTO Roadside Design Guide 
• Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices 
It is our understanding that for the first project (CTI), the Consultant will provide project management, concept 
scoping, preliminary design, surveying, right-of-way (if required), construction design, and the necessary permitting
