<br />HMG_TO08-A13_Long 8 <br />a. Report should include cemetery maps which show land parcel information. This <br />would also show the parcels adjacent to the cemetery which may be needed if <br />a berm is to be constructed. <br />b. Incorporate the previously developed “Cemetery Study – June 2013” as an <br />appendix. <br />VIII. LARGE STRUCTURES DESIGN TEAM SUPPORT <br />1. Provide senior engineer to provide ongoing engineering consultation to the USACE <br />Large Structure Design Team. Participate in weekly meetings and provide status <br />reports to Owner and PMC regarding design of the following structures: Diversion <br />Inlet Structure, Red River Control Structure, and Wild Rice River Control Structure. <br />IX. HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES AESTHETICS EVALUATION <br />1. Background: The Owner desires to have a unified aesthetic identity for structural <br />elements along the Diversion Channel. Engineer completed a Bridge Aesthetics <br />Technical Memorandum in November 2012 which included a review of relevant <br />project information, including the draft recreation plan, a picture survey of regional <br />bridges, and the development of several bridge aesthetic concepts for interstate <br />and county road bridges. The Owner selected a simulated stone (Mankato Cut <br />Stone) form liner for abutment wing walls, tapered wall piers for interstate bridges <br />and hammerhead piers for county and township bridges. <br />2. Purpose: The USACE has started preliminary design work on the Diversion inlet <br />structure and requested the non-federal local sponsors provide an aesthetic plan <br />for the structure by February 1, 2015 after completion of their Preliminary <br />Engineering Report. This scope of work builds on the selected bridge aesthetic plan <br />and provides for an evaluation of several aesthetic concepts for the Project’s <br />hydraulic structures. <br />3. Scope: An aesthetics evaluation will be conducted for the Project’s hydraulic <br />structures which include three (3) control structures and two (2) aqueducts. It will <br />take into account and build upon the aesthetics developed for the Project bridges. <br />Up to three aesthetics concepts will be developed for the Projects hydraulic <br />structures and an Owner selection team will review and select an aesthetics plan <br />for the structures. <br />a. Review preliminary hydraulic structure design documents and relevant <br />available base mapping, the bridge aesthetics report and relevant <br />planning studies and agency guidelines, and the Draft Diversion <br />Recreation and Use Plan. Identify aspects of the Recreation and Use <br />Plan that could affect the design of structures. <br />b. Assess the visual character of the proposed structure sites and nearby <br />surrounding community context through select photographs and <br />sketches to serve as a basis for developing aesthetic design themes <br />appropriate to the setting. <br />c. Hydraulic Structures Aesthetics Concept Development and <br />Coordination. <br />i. Develop three (3) alternative aesthetic design themes for the <br />Project’s hydraulic structures. Prepare appropriate graphics <br />to communicate each theme for preliminary consideration by <br />project stakeholders with the goal of selecting a preferred <br />alternative(s) that can be applied to the entirety of the DRAFT
