progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling
and observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such
recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations
have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction
contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract
Documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the
ENGINEER has made an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the construction contractor has used the moneys paid; that title to any of the

Attachment "A"
Scope of Services for
Forty Oaks (Dallas-Wilson) Detention Basin Improvements
Project No. 100117
Preface
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.
Project Area Description: —The Dallas and Wilson detention basins are located in the
upstream headwater areas of the Woodhaven Creek drainage district. The basins were
constructed in about 1991 to mitigate flooding in the Forty Oaks storm drain pipeshed
(Plan File No. S-556). A drainage study was completed on the open channel portion of
Woodhaven Creek north of Meadowbrook Road in 2012. That study included tributary
flows from this area, but did not include a detailed hydraulic evaluation of the detention
basins and the enclosed storm sewers south of Meadowbrook Road.
A map showing the project area is presented in Exhibit E. The upstream tributary areas
to the Dallas and Wilson detention basins are 269 and 132 acres, respectively. An
additional 213 acres of drainage area is located downstream of the ponds and south of
Meadowbrook Road that include enclosed storm sewers. These downstream sewers
will not be included as part of this project. Instead, a free discharge will be assumed
from the two detention basins. The upstream tributary stormwater drainage system
serves a predominantly residential area and consists of primarily a closed conduit storm
sewer system.
The Dallas and Wilson detention basins are large open grassy dry ponds with a narrow
concrete channel in the center. The ponds were built without modern features such as
sediment forebays or multi stage outlet structures. The outlets of these detention basins
are equipped with tight grates that are more prone to clogging. The detention basins are
unattractive and completely fenced providing no additional recreation or aesthetic
benefit to the local community. The current configuration of these basins and associated
outlets provide reduction of peak flow from large storm events with little peak flow
reduction for the smaller, more frequent storm events. It does not appear that the ponds
were sized to address multi-frequency storm events. Also, the current pond design
provides little water quality benefit through the removal of solids and the associated
attached nutrients. Recently the City acquired several additional vacant lots adjacent to
the Dallas basin that could be used to expand the basin to provide a forebay.

Project No. 100117
Purpose & Needs: — Fort Worth would like to improve the performance of the Dallas
and Wilson dry detention basins to meet current stormwater control standards. With this
primary goal in mind, Fort Worth has requested a conceptual design to retrofit the
existing detention basins and more effectively control runoff from small more frequent
storms as well as improve the water quality performance of these basins through
pollutant removal, and provide for enhancements to the community in the form of
improved aesthetics and recreation/open space amenities. These improvements to the
basins would include basin-wide best management practice retrofits to address multi-
frequency storms as well as to reduce the downstream impacts to the Woodhaven
Creek through a reduction in peak flow and reduction in nutrient load. The narrative that
follows is a work plan describing the approach for modeling the hydrology and
hydraulics of the system in conjunction with development and selection of a retro-fit
conceptual design for achieving the project goals as noted above.
Objectives:
• Assess existing condition of the detention basins to determine deficiencies and
identify retrofit needs.
• Provide recommendations to the City to significantly increase the level of service of
the existing Dallas and Wilson detention basins in order to improve water quality,
and attenuate peak flow rates for a larger range of storm events.
• Update the detention basins to include a water quality sediment forebay that does
not hold standing water.
• Include a larger storage compartment and outlet structure that provides attenuation
for a larger range of storms beginning with the 2-year storm.
• Address local drainage problems around the north side of both basins.
• Recommendations shall be affordable, acceptable, and constructible.
• Develop alternatives to improve the performance of Dallas and Wilson detention
basins from quantity and quality standpoints. Alternatives will also evaluate features
to improve the operation and maintenance of the facilities.
• The alternatives will take into consideration the potential for using a portion of the
basins' footprint for recreational uses by the local communities as well as
improvements to the aesthetic and ecological functions of the basins.
• Avoid increases in flood risk elsewhere, including both upstream and downstream
systems.
• Provide a preferred detention basin retrofit conceptual design that demonstrates that
the proposed plan is feasible, acceptable, and constructible.

Hydrology
The area tributary to both of the Wilson and Dallas detention basins have been
previously delineated and modeled as part of the Woodhaven Creek open channel

Project No. 100117
study completed in October 2012. The 2012 model was developed within the HEC-HMS
Model framework developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The model of this
area included 269 acres tributary to the Dallas Basin and 132 acres tributary to the
Wilson basin. The hydrology within the HEC-HMS model used the soil conservation
service (SCS) unit hydrograph method for developing flows and the Muskingum-Cunge
method for flow routing. This model was developed based on available land-use, soil
data, and digital elevation model from the Fort Worth GIS database available at that
time.
Although the analysis for the previous Woodhaven Creek study was sufficiently detailed
for use in the open channel evaluation, we recommend an updated hydrologic analysis
of the area tributary to the Dallas and Wilson detention basins based on the currently
available GIS data from the Fort Worth GIS and a finer breakdown of subareas tributary
to the detention basins. This update will ensure that the most current data is used for
the hydrology. As part of this update, the tributary area will be broken down further into
smaller subareas that can be routed with more detail through representation of the
collection system. The hydrology calculations will continue to be modeled using the
SCS unit hydrograph methodology within the HEC-HMS model framework.
The smaller subareas will be defined based on the selection of inlet locations into the
collection system. The peak runoff rates from this updated hydrology are not expected
to differ significantly from the previous Woodhaven Creek study. This updated analysis
will affect the distribution of the inflow to upstream collection system and provide more
representative attenuation of the flow before entering the detention basins. The
following subtasks will be performed to develop the hydrology models that are
representative of fully developed conditions and existing conditions:
1. Delineate Watershed - The existing subarea delineation developed as part of the
Woodhaven Creek Study will be verified based on the currently available digital
elevation model and information related to the collection system. Break points for
separate subarea boundaries will be developed at logical points such as at inflow
points to the collection system, confluence of major components of the collection
system, etc. The acreage for each subarea will be calculated at this point.
2. Develop Curve Numbers — Separate SCS curve numbers (CN) will be developed
for each subarea. These curve numbers will be based on land use
characteristics and soil type.
3. Laq Time —A separate lag time will be developed for each subarea. The lag time
is dependent on the longest travel time flow path through the subarea.

Hydraulics
The hydraulic representation of the collection system and the detention basins is
necessary to determine their impact on the runoff hydrographs generated from the
hydrologic model. Since the focus of the project is to develop conceptual design retrofits
to the existing Dallas and Wilson detention basins, no changes to the upstream existing
collection system are to be made. SWMM 5 will be used for hydraulic routing of the
collection system and detention basins. Routing of flow through the collection system
provides an opportunity to properly attenuate and reduce the peak flow. The detention
basins will reduce the peak outflow by restricting the basin outlet forcing storage of the
excess flow within the detention basin. The fully developed conditions routing will follow
the same flow path as the pipe network, but will be modeled as an open channel stream
with a generalized cross-section.
Only the main trunk storm sewers will be represented in the upstream stormwater
collection system up to the point of inflow to the detention basins. The collection system
downstream of the detention basins will not be represented as part of this project. For
the purpose of this project, a free discharge will be assumed from the outlet structure.
Detention basin hydraulic features will be based on field survey measurements. The
collection system both upstream of the detention basins will be modeled using existing
GIS and as-built sewer plans available from City records. The collection system
hydraulic model will be developed within the SWMM framework and include the
following features:
1. Inlets— Inflow to the collection system will be modeled as simple inflows to the
collection system at logical points in the system that correspond to the updated
subarea delineations.
2. Storm Sewers — Storm sewers will be modeled as a link-node system. Pipe
lengths, diameter, inverts and ground elevations will be based on GIS data when
available, or record drawings.
3. Detention Ponds —The volume of each pond will be developed based on
topographic survey data. Record drawing of the pond outlets will be used to
develop the basin outlet representation in the model. An alternative stage-
storage relationship for each basin will be developed based on the available
footprint area and the design requirements to meet current basin design
standards and to potentially provide a mixed use function. The Wilson basin has
one outlet structure and the Dallas detention basin has two separate outlets.
Each basin outlet will be included in the model.. Under alternative conditions

multi stage outlets with varying levels of flow restrictions will be evaluated to
maximize the performance of the basins
The Wilson and Dallas detention basins have three components; inflows, storage
volume, and restrictive outlets. Below is a separated discussion of each of these
components.
Inflows — The Wilson and Dallas detention basins have two separate points of inflow.
These points of inflow will be aggregated under fully developed conditions to determine
the allowable outflow rate from the detention basins.
Storage Volume —. Within the model, the storage compartments and associated outlet
components will be modeled separately. Overflow weirs will be included for each outlet
structure to allow flow to discharge from upstream compartments to downstream
compartments as they become full for successively larger design storms.
Inlet Structures — Inlet structures will be designed with sufficient energy dissipation to
prevent erosion of the sediment forebay.
Outlet Structures — Outlets structures will be designed to attenuate flow to fully
developed conditions for the entire range of design storms starting with the 2-year
storm.
Using the model developed in this task, a series of model simulations will be run for the,
2-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 100-year storms. The City of Fort Worth iSWM Criteria
Manual will be used to run the water quality analysis. The results from these simulations
will be used size the compartments of the detention basins and associated outlet
structures.

• Written summary of existing drainage system analysis, including methods,
parameter selections, analysis tools used, other associated calculations, analysis
results and conclusions.

personal interviews, visual inspections, etc.), to help identify utility owners that may
have facilities within the project limits or that may be affected by the project.
• Collect applicable records (e.g., utility owner base maps, "as built" or record
drawings, permit records, field notes, geographic information system data, oral
histories, etc.) on the existence and approximate location of existing involved
utilities.
• Review records for: evidence or indication of additional available records; duplicate
or conflicting information; need for clarification.
• Develop SUE plan sheets and transfer information on all involved utilities to
appropriate design plan sheets, electronic files, and/or other documents as
required. Exercise professional judgment to resolve conflicting information. For
information depicted, indicate: utility type and ownership; date of depiction; quality
level(s); end points of any utility data; line status (e.g., active, abandoned, out of
service); line size and condition; number of jointly buried cables, and encasement.

• Identify surface features, from project topographic data and from field
observations that are surface appurtenances of subsurface utilities.
• Include survey and correlation of aerial or ground-mounted utility facilities in
Quality Level C tasks.
• Survey surface features of subsurface utility facilities or systems.
• The survey shall also include (in addition to subsurface utility features visible at
the ground surface): determination of invert elevations of any manholes and
vaults; sketches showing interior dimensions and line connections of such
manholes and vaults; any surface markings denoting subsurface utilities,
furnished by utility owners for design purposes.
• Exercise professional judgment to correlate data from different sources, and to
resolve conflicting information.

• Recommend follow-up investigations (e.g., additional surveys, consultation with
utility owners, etc.) as may be needed to further resolve discrepancies.
• Provide Quality Level C to identify overhead utilities on the project and provide
the overhead utility information on the SUE plan sheets.
Level B (includes tasks as described for Quality Level C)
• Select and apply appropriate surface geophysical method(s) to search for and
detect subsurface utilities within the project limits, and/or to trace a particular
utility line or system.
• Based on an interpretation of data, mark the indications of utilities on the ground
surface for subsequent survey. Utilize paint or other method acceptable for
marking of lines.
• Unless otherwise directed, mark centerline of single-conduit lines, and outside
edges of multi-conduit systems.
• Resolve differences between designated utilities and utility records and surveyed
appurtenances.
• Recommend additional measures to resolve differences if they still exist.
• Recommendations may include additional or different surface geophysical
methods, exploratory excavation, or upgrade to Quality Level A data.
• As an alternative to the physical marking of lines, the ENGINEER may, with
CITY's approval, utilize other means of data collection, storage, retrieval, and
reduction that enables the correlation of surface geophysical data to the project's
survey control.
The purpose of this analysis is identify potential utility conflicts so that proposed
alternatives will either avoid them completely or adequately account for them in the
construction cost estimate. If sufficient detail is not available from the Level B analysis
for this determination, additional SUE analysis will be recommended which may be
added as a contract amendment if needed, or conducted in later design phases as
necessary.

Task 2.4 Conceptual Design Package
The ENGINEER will evaluate conceptual design alternative solutions for retrofit
improvements to the Dallas and Wilson detention basins. While widespread storm drain
improvements and/or additional detention volume might be needed to provide 100-year
flood protection for this pipeshed, these improvements are considered infeasible and
unaffordable. Any retrofit improvements should consider that the existing pipe system
will remain with its current capacity.
Design concepts will be developed to improve the performance, effectiveness, function
and aesthetic quality of the existing detention basins. Basin footprints should remain
unchanged with two exceptions. The first is for expansion in the area of the existing city-
owned property on the southwest side of the Dallas basin. The second is to evaluate
the cost and feasibility of acquiring the two residential lots on Wilson Road that would
allow for the expansion of the Wilson basin eastward to Wilson Road.
The ENGINEER will perform an initial feasibility assessment and develop alternative
design concepts for each basin. This assessment shall be based upon the estimated
cost, potential benefit, acceptability, and constructability. The ENGINEER will present
these design concepts to the City to jointly decide on the inclusion or elimination of
certain features. The ENGINEER will refine, revise, and potentially add features based
upon the work session with City staff.
The following specific items are to be addressed with the conceptual design:
1. Enemy dissbation. The remains of the rock rip-rap fans should be removed and
alternate energy dissipation structures should be installed such that discharges
into the basin do not cause erosion and scour but that appropriate vegetated
area can be mechanically mowed.
2. Sediment forebays. Removal of excessive sediment distributed throughout these
basins is a recurring maintenance item. The lots at the southwest corner of the
Dallas basin were acquired specifically for installation of a sediment forebay and
reconfiguring the main infall into the Dallas basin. A secondary infall into the

iSWM Criteria Manual is achieved by maximizing the flow path through the basin. This
is to slow the flow of storm water through the basin, improve how plants use storm
water to increase absorption and evapotranspiration, filter and trap common runoff
pollutants, increase soil saturation/groundwater recharge and increase evaporation of
storm water. The detention basin retrofits will generally involve relocating concrete low-
flow channels, modifying outlet structures so basins detain water in small storms, re-
grading to modify flow path, and re-vegetating with native plant species.
