Task 4- Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) — (Mark IV at Cantrell -Sansom Rd only)
The scope of this proposal includes Quality Levels (QL) "A" and "B". The scope of work involves
QL"B"designating of the utilities as follows:
Mark IV Parkway - beginning at proposed centerline station 20+50 (at the FedEx
driveway), north to proposed station 29+00 (centerline of Cantrell-Samson). The QL"B"
along Mark IV Parkway will include the area between the existing east pavement edge to
the east right-of-way.
Cantrell-Samson - will begin at proposed centerline station 7+00 (east property line of
school) and proceed east to station 15+00 (east property line of Mark IV North). This
QL"B" area will include the area from the existing south pavement edge to the south right-
of-way of Cantrell-Samson.
It is expected to designate water, waste water, storm, telephone and street lighting facilities.
Included are two test holes (4-8'depth) in the scope of work. The location of the Q L"A" will be
determined after review of the QL"B"deliverable and preliminary engineering plans.
SUE work required for this project will be performed in general accordance with the
recommended practices and procedures described in ASCE Publication Cl/ASCE 38-02
(Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data). As
described in the mentioned ASCE publication, four levels have been established to describe the
quality of utility location and attribute information used on plans. The four quality levels are as
follows:
• Quality Level D (QLP'DPP)--- Information derived from existing records;
• Quality Level C (QL99CP9) - QL"D" information supplemented with information obtained by
surveying visible above-ground utility features such as valves, hydrants, meters, manhole
covers, etc.
• Quality Level B (QLp9BPP) --- Two-dimensional (x,y) information obtained through the
application and interpretation of non-destructive surface geophysical methods. Also
known as "designating" this quality level provides the approximate horizontal position of
subsurface utilities within approximately one foot.
• Quality Level A (QLPPAPP)---Also known as "locating", this quality level provides precise three
dimensional (x,y,z) information at critical locations by exposing specific utilities. Non-
destructive vacuum excavation equipment is used to expose the utilities at specific points
which are then tied down by survey.
It is the responsibility of the SUE provider to perform due-diligence with regard to records
research (QL "D") and acquisition of available utility records. The due-diligence provided for this
project will consist of reviewing the "As-Built" documents previously compiled by others. Utilities
that are not identified through these efforts will be here forth referred to as "unknown" utilities. The
defined work area will be scanned using electronic prospecting equipment to search for
"unknown" utilities. TSC is not responsible for designating and locating these "unknown" utilities.
Task 5- Geotechnical Services (Mark IV at Cantrell -Sansom Rd only)
Subsurface Exploration
o Experienced drillers and technicians will evaluate subsurface conditions
with a borings extending to a depth of 10 feet.
Page 3of9
o The field personnel will drill the borings using truck-mounted equipment.
Cohesive and non-cohesive soil samples will be obtained using 3-inch
diameter Shelby tube samplers and 2-inch diameter standard split-spoon
samplers, respectively. In addition, rock encountered will be evaluated by
use of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) cone penetration
tests. A soils logger will extrude the samples in the field, check the
samples for consistency with a hand penetrometer, carefully wrap them to
preserve their condition, and return them to the laboratory for testing. A
log of each boring will be prepared to document field activities and
results.
o Stake the boring locations using normal taping procedures. Approximate
locations of the borings will be shown on the plan of borings. Precise
surveying of boring locations and elevations is not included in the cost
estimate. These services may be provided as Additional Services upon
request. At the completion of drilling operations, boreholes will be
backfilled with drill cuttings and plugged with bentonite chips.
Laboratory Services
o Considering the planned street improvements, anticipated soil conditions
and geology, laboratory tests will be required for classification purposes,
and to determine strength characteristics. The following types of tests are
therefore recommended:
o moisture content and soil identification
o percent passing #290 sieve
o grain size analysis
o liquid and plastic limit determinations
o unconsolidated underdrained triaxial tests on soils
o unit weight determinations
o absorption pressure and/or one-point pressure swell tests
o Eades and Grim lime series tests
o soluble sulfate tests
o The specific types and quantities of tests will be determined based on
geologic conditions encountered in the borings.
Engineering Services
o An engineering report will be prepared to present the results of the field
and laboratory data together with our analyses of the results and
recommendations. We will provide three copies of the report. The report
will address:
a. general soil and ground-water conditions
b. recommendations for foundation type, depth and allowable
loading for culverts
c. foundation construction requirements
d. an evaluation of the swell characteristics of the subgrade soils
e. pavement thickness calculations using City of Fort Worth Paving
Design Standards
f. earthwork recommendations
o Items other than those specified above, which are revealed by these
studies or are necessitated by a change in project scope, may require
revised field, laboratory, and engineering services. These services, if
required and requested, will be performed as Additional Services.

SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Services Agreement with TranSystems, Inc., in the Amount of
$243,322.00 for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Construction Estimates for Intersection
Capacity Improvements Projects at Various Locations in the Far North and Far Northwest Sectors
(COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an Engineering Services Agreement with
TranSystems Inc., d/b/a TranSystems Corporation Consultants in the amount of$243,322.00 for the
preparation of plans, specifications and construction estimates for intersection capacity improvements
projects at various locations in the far north and far northwest sectors.
DISCUSSION:
The 2004 Capital Improvement Program allocated funds for intersection improvements that would promote
efficient traffic flow, reduce traffic congestion and vehicular delays at intersections where traffic demands
exceed the present conditions. Transystems has been selected to prepare the necessary plans,
specifications and estimates at four intersections: Mark IV Parkway at Cantrell Samson Road, Alta Vista
Road at SH 170, Marine Creek Parkway at Cromwell Marine Creek Road and Bob Hanger Street at
Cromwell-Marine Creek Road.
Improvements at these intersections would allow for additional left and right turn movements increasing
capacity, reducing delays as well as decreasing air pollution.
TranSystems Corporation d/b/a TranSystems Corporation Consultants is in compliance with the City's
M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 15 percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal for this project is 15
percent.
These projects are located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 7.
