responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar with the
progress or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to
determine, in general, if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a
manner indicating that the PROJECT, when completed, will be in
accordance with the Contract Documents, nor shall anything in the
Contract Documents or the agreement between CITY and ENGINEER be
construed as requiring ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-
site inspections to discover latent defects in the work or otherwise check
the quality or quantity of the work on the PROJECT. If, for any reason, the
ENGINEER should make an on-site observation(s), on the basis of such
on-site observations, if any, the ENGINEER shall endeavor to keep the
CITY informed of any deviation from the Contract Documents coming to the
actual notice of ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of

PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules will
not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses, projections, or
estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction
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 work, materials, or equipment has
passed to the CITY free and clear of liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances; or that there are not other matters at issue between the CITY and
the construction contractor that affect the amount that should be paid.

Fort Worth concerning this project, including, but not limited to, the following:
1. Sewer Maps (electronic if available)
To Be Provided by City of Fort Worth Water Department:
1. Copies of all applicable reports and historical data for the study area at no cost to
CONSULTANT
2. Map of sewer mains (electronic format if available)
Deliverables:
1. Inclusion in final report of findings from this work task
Measurement of Payment:
Payment for this work task shall be lump sum. It is anticipated that review of the above
materials will be essentially complete within 10 days of receipt of the materials by Consultant.
TASK 300 TEMPORARY FLOW METERING
A review of the City of Fort Worth Water Department study area maps will determine the
geometry for preliminary placement of flow meters. Initial review indicates that two (2)
temporary flow meters will be utilized to establish wastewater flows. Field crews will perform
initial field inspections to finalize the proposed flow meter sites. Pipe sizes will be confirmed,
debris depth measured, flow hydraulics reviewed, and accessibility evaluated prior to finalizing
the sites.
Flow metering equipment (Sigma AreaNelocity) will be capable of recording flow under
surcharged conditions and will be synchronized to the same clock used for rain gauges. Flow
metering shall be conducted simultaneously with rain monitoring for at least 30 consecutive
days during phase 1 monitoring. The following schedule for monitoring is based on local
historical rainfall:
Phase 1 — January - February 2001 30 days dry weather monitoring
Information obtained during the monitoring periods will be used to determine the following for
each site:
1. Average daily flow - dry weather
2. Peak flow - dry weather
3. Average daily flow - wet weather
4. Peak flow - wet weather
5. Peak inflow rates
6. Total 1/1 volume
7. In-situ pipe capacity (both dry and wet weather)
Final meter site selection will be accomplished after review of the collection system map. The
monitoring sites will be located in such a way that the City of River Oaks can be isolated from
the Fort Worth collection system contributions. Base dry weather flows (minimum infiltration) will
be established during Phase 1 of the project. City of Fort Worth Water Department will have
authority to extend the metering beyond the proposed days to obtain adequate flow data or
request that the flow metering be terminated at the end of the proposed days based on a review
of the data.
During data analysis, both the Manning and continuity equations will be plotted for flow.
Consultant will use sound engineering judgment in adjusting raw depth and velocity data to
-5-
account for debris, sensor drift, etc. By obtaining accurate velocity and depth data, the
engineer can further isolate hydraulic problems within the collection system. The consultant
may use other analysis techniques, such as scatter graphs, to review data integrity or further
analyze the flow data.
Each meter will be field calibrated prior to installation. Calibration of each meter will be a simple
procedure that will consist of an independent verification of the flow depth and velocity. The
flow sensors will be secured to a mounting band that fits snugly in the pipeline. The data logger
for each site will be installed and secured in the top of each manhole and the meter will be
activated at user defined sampling intervals as determined by the Consultant, however, the
maximum sampling interval will not exceed 15 minutes. Routine maintenance and service will
be undertaken weekly to confirm normal operation. Written logs of each site visit will be
maintained and will be used to record date and time of visit, meter velocity and depth reading,
corresponding independent velocity and depth reading, maintenance items such as battery
voltage, etc.
During collection, data from each unit will be uploaded in the field to a laptop computer or an
electronic collection device. Each laptop computer or data transfer unit will then be uploaded
to the central project computer in the office for analysis. A tabular and graphical presentation of
the data will be developed that provides specific information for detailed evaluation. Peak,
minimum and average flow depths and rates will be generated to assist in data analysis.
To Be Provided by City of Fort Worth Water Department:
1. Review of proposed meter site(s)
To Be Provided by Consultant:
1. Completion of meter site location forms
2. List of sites requiring cleaning to facilitate flow monitoring (if required)
3. Flow meter and rain gauge location map

5. Velocity, depth, and flow finalized meter data in tabular and electronic format
6. Maintenance Logs
Measurement of Payment:
Payment for this work task shall be a unit price for meter installation and calibration and a unit
price for each day of monitoring operation & maintenance. The basis for partial payment will
be the summary of the number of meters installed multiplied by the daily billing rate times the
number of days the meters are installed. Should monitoring be extended beyond the contract
duration, then the unit price specified for extended monitoring will be used for each meter day
during the extended monitoring period.
