REFERENCE NO..

DISCUSSION: This contract will assist with the development of a City-wide Stormwater Master Plan that will provide strategic guidance in the prioritization of future drainage studies and capital improvement projects to maximize effectiveness in reducing flood conditions and maintaining public safety. It is expected that the ultimate Stormwater Master Plan will be developed in phases utilizing various consulting entities over a 10-20 year time-frame yielding an overall strategic review and implementation of projects to alleviate flooding throughout the City. Since the inception of the Stormwater Utility in 2006, the most immediate drainage problems in the City have been addressed individually based on more visible and historic flooding events. After six years of program deployment in this manner, a more comprehensive and strategic assessment of all drainage basins in the City is needed to ensure the optimal use of Stormwater Utility operating and capital funding going forward. The Stormwater Master Plan is designed to systematically identify drainage deficiencies throughout the City, evaluate strategies for flood mitigation, develop specific feasible and cost-effective solutions, and provide prioritized projects for construction under the Stormwater Capital Improvement Project program. Work accomplished under this contract will include a City-wide assessment of storm drain capacities and the development of standards, parameters and criteria for individual detailed studies to more effectively prioritize future stormwater projects, as well as greater guidance in evaluating feasible solutions and balancing project costs and functional effectiveness. Resultant projects will be designed and constructed through separate contracts. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for this contract was published in the Fort Worth Star-Tele�ram in November, 2011. Eight consultants responded, Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc., was selected as the most qualified consultant. Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc., proposes to perForm the scope of work for this contract on a time and materials basis for a not-to-exceed fee of $650,000.00. The contract also includes a provision for the City to exercise an option for three additional renewals to manage the implementation of the individual studies which will comprise the Stormwater Master Plan. Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services provided. Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 16 percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal for this project is 16 percent. This master planning work is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. http://apps.cfwnet. org/council�acicet/mc_review.asp?ID=17197&councildate=9/18/2012 9/4/2013 M&C Review FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: Page 2 of 2 The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Stormwater Utility Fund.
