The Storm Water Management Program was established to reduce flooding in Fort Worth, preserve
streams, minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water system in a more effective manner to fully
comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. This will be accomplished by infrastructure
reconstruction and system maintenance, master planning, enhanced development review, and increased
public education and outreach.
The scope of work for this project includes a drainage study for future improvements and erosion protection
of Carten Street Outfall Channel. The study will also include recommendation for location of the
maintenance access ramps for the improved Carten Street Outfall Channel.
LopezGarcia Group, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary work for a lump sum fee of $63,908. City Staff
considers this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $9,587 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.
M/WBE -LopezGarcia Group, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/1IVBE Ordinance by committing to 26
percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 18 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4, Mapsco 80C.
