ATTACHMENT "A"
Scope of Services for
Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge (FWNC&R) Levee Improvements
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
Within the FWNC&R property, there is an earthen embankment that is referred to as the
levee. ENGINEER has conducted an alternatives analysis to evaluate potential
improvements to the levee. Upon review of the identified alternatives, the CITY and
ENGINEER agreed that geotechnical investigations are warranted before proceeding with
final design activities. This scope of work includes geotechnical investigations and one
meeting with the client to review the results of the work.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION.
• Travel to the site to select locations for exploratory borings. Engineer will stake
the specific locations after checking underground utilities, other existing
construction, and accessibility. Accessibility along the embankment will be
obtained from the Nature Center road on the southern end of the embankment.
• Subcontract with a drilling contractor to drill one (1) boring to a depth of 25 feet at
the preferred location of the pedestrian bridge structure. Three (3) additional
exploratory borings to a depth of 20 feet will be drilled to help evaluate the
condition of the earthen embankment. Soil samples will be collected
intermittently using continuous flight augers and either split-spoon or tube
samplers. Rock and rock-like materials will be tested in situ using a TxDOT
Cone Penetration Test, as appropriate for the material. At completion, the
boreholes will be grouted with bentonite slurry to the ground surface to prevent
erosion and deterioration of the embankment.
• Provide an engineer or geologist to direct the drilling, log the borings, record field
test data, and handle and transport the samples.
• Select samples for laboratory testing, assign tests, deliver samples to a
subcontractor laboratory selected by FNI, and review test results. Testing is
expected to include classification tests (liquid and plastic limits and percent
passing a #200 sieve or gradation), moisture content, and unconfined
compression strength tests.
• Prepare a technical memorandum summary report of the geotechnical
investigation to include:

• Appendix with the boring locations, boring logs, laboratory test results, and a
key to the symbols used.
• Discussion of subsurface conditions and soil properties indicated by the field
and laboratory work, and the implications for design and construction.
• Foundation and site preparation recommendations for the proposed weir
structure.
• Provide general comments, based upon the soil types and condition of the
materials encountered by the borings, on the condition of the embankment as
it relates to resiliency during flood or overflow events.
• Earthwork related recommendations for use during development of the plans
and specifications.
• Meet with CITY to review results of geotechnical investigation and update
estimated cost for proposed alternatives.
ASSUMPTIONS
• A total of four(4)soil borings are proposed.
