WORTH, TX ATTACHMENT "A" Scope for Engineering Design Related Services for Storm Water Improvements Projects MOSSBROOK DRIVE DRAINAGE CITY PROJECT NO.: 103092 The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the work to be performed and address the needs of the Project. Under this scope, "ENGINEER" is expanded to include any sub-consultant, including surveyor, employed or contracted by the ENGINEER. OBJECTIVE The objective of the project is to lower the outfall of the Mossbrook Drive storm drain into the unnamed tributary of Henrietta Creek just north of Keller Haslet Road(east of Alta Vista Road).This will include Preparation of plan view, profile view and/or details for the work. Some erosion protection will be necessary, though the existing stream will be preserved outside of the apron and adjacent rock riprap. The existing stream has been head cutting(eroding). This has resulted in a lowered stream flowline at the storm drain outfall. The existing headwall and storm drain are at risk of collapsing. A detailed topographic survey from the inlet to the headwall and up the opposite side of the stream will be provided(approximately 25'either side of the storm drain). A brief review of the Section 404 will be reviewed for use of a Nationwide Permit for the work. Notification to the Corps should not be needed. A letter expressing the Engineer's opinion of the applicability of the permit will be provided. No drainage easements should be required as this is maintenance work on existing infrastructure. Since this is a maintenance project, there will be no iSWM, Grading, Tree Removal or Floodplain Permits. Also since the project only includes adjusting the storm drain flowline, no hydrologic or hydraulic calculations are needed. WORK TO BE PERFORMED Task 1. Design Management Task 2. DELETED Task 3.
