ATTACHMENT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Update Stormwater Management Program Master Plan
City Project No. SWS-080
PREFACE
Purpose and Need
The City of Fort Worth implemented a Stormwater Utility in 2006 to address a backlog of data
and technology needs, maintenance obligations, and capital projects for the purpose of
dramatically upgrading its capacity to protect people and property in the City from harmful
stormwater runoff. The City has made significant strides to address each major need over the
last ten years and, in so doing, developed a basic strategic framework to guide the overall
Stormwater Management Program. The current initiative is needed to take the progress made,
lessons learned, and information gathered since 2006 and update the Stormwater Management
Program Master Plan (SMPMP) to optimize program effectiveness over the next ten years.
Objectives
This update to the SMPMP will be a comprehensive document that helps ensure alignment of
the policies and strategies of the SMPMP with the current City of Fort Worth directives
established by City management and documented in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Opportunities for efficiencies and improvements will be objectively evaluated during a
benchmarking and best practices data gathering task to ensure the City of Fort Worth is in line
with representative communities. Staff brainstorming sessions will be facilitated to establish
broad program strategies and integration of discrete program elements. Program initiatives will
be vetted through engagement of key entities, officials, and stakeholders who will be asked to
provide feedback on the stormwater program. This feedback will be used to help refine the
distribution of future funding and efforts to ensure the Stormwater program is organized and
proportioned to best meet the needs and priorities of the community.
A significant element of this update to the SMPMP will be refinement of policies and strategies
regarding flood mitigation in the City of Fort Worth to support the refined distribution of
Stormwater resources. This refinement includes a deliberate pivot from the initial data gathering
efforts of the program towards solution determination, design, and construction. The process
to update the SMPMP will include a significant public input component to ensure that flood
mitigation policies and strategies reflect the input of the community. The updated SMPMP will
refine the options for mitigating flooding in Fort Worth, seeking to optimize program
effectiveness by: ensuring that flood protection level-of-service goals are realistic and consistent
with community desires; considering the appropriate use of property buy-outs and flood warning
in-lieu-of capital improvements; becoming increasingly opportunistic about public-public and
public-private partnerships; and ensuring that the method for prioritizing needs is reflective of
the community.
The updated SMPMP will document priorities, policies, and strategies that will direct the use of
Stormwater program resources to best meet the stormwater related needs of the City of Fort
Worth over the next ten years. An implementation plan will be developed to summarize how
and when the City should go about implementing the policies and strategies. The plan will also
establish timelines and budget estimates to inform the future direction of the stormwater
program. The finalized plan will be presented to City Council for adoption.

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 812/2016
DATE: Tuesday, August 2, 2016 REFERENCE NO.: **C-27832
LOG NAME: 20SWMMASTERPLANUPDATE
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Professional Services Agreement with Halff Associates, Inc., in the Amount of
$350,000.00 to Update Stormwater Management Program Master Plan (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Professional Services Agreement
with Halff Associates, Inc., in the amount of$350,000.00 to Update Stormwater Management Program
Master Plan (SWS-080).
DISCUSSION:
The Professional Services Agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication is to
update the Strategic Master Plan of the Stormwater Management Program. This update is needed to
assess the progress and lessons learned from the first 10 years of the program and refine strategies,
priorities, and policies to optimize the use of resources to best meet the flood mitigation needs of the
community for the next 10 years. This initiative will include significant public outreach and input with the
updated Master Plan ultimately being submitted for adoption by City Council.
The Stormwater Utility was created in 2006 to protect people and property from harmful stormwater
runoff. The first 10 years of the Stormwater Management Program have focused on assessing Citywide
flood risk and drainage system capacity, addressing many of the most hazardous flooding problems in the
City, implementing a high water warning system, developing a work order system and maintenance
program, and developing a basic inventory of the major components of the drainage system.
Halff Associates, Inc., will assist Staff in assimilating existing information, benchmarking against other
communities, recommending future policies and strategies, gathering public feedback, optimizing resource
distribution, and documenting the findings in an implementation strategy of initiatives, which will include
schedule and cost estimates for the highest priority program initiatives.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a variety of stormwater professional services was published in the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram on May 21, 2015 and May 28, 2015. Fifty five consultants responded to the
RFQ, from which Halff Associates, Inc., was selected as the most qualified consultant for this work based
on published selection criteria. The consultant, Halff Associates, Inc., proposes to perform the scope of
work for this contract on a time and materials basis for a not-to-exceed fee of$350,000.00. Staff
considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the anticipated services to be performed.
Upon completion of this contract, there is no anticipated annual operating cost to the Transportation and
Public Works (TPW) Stormwater Management Division.
MMIBE Office- Halff Associates, Inc., is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to 10

This stormwater contract area is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
