STUDY AREA The study area is limited to the storm drain trunk lines and channels as delineated on the Location Maps in Attachment E. Any inlets and laterals adjacent to these trunk lines will be mapped and studied only as necessary to aide in trunk line mapping and to determine flow routing in a surcharged system. II. STUDY PURPOSE Recent and historical data indicates that numerous older storm drain systems in Fort Worth are significantly undersized, causing widespread flooding in many neighborhoods. Furthermore, the storm drain systems have not been systematically inspected in over twenty years, if ever. The primary purposes of this study are to: A. Develop a consensus methodology for all individual tasks to guide these studies and lay a framework for future additional studies citywide. B. Conduct a physical inventory of the storm drain trunk lines and related appurtenances in the study area. C. Assess the physical condition of the storm drain trunk lines in the study area and to identify areas of structural deficiency. D. Perform hydrologic modeling of the watershed to determine runoff generated at key design points during the design storms (minimum one-percent and twenty- percent events). E. Perform hydraulic modeling of the storm drain trunk lines in the study area using SWMM 5 to document system capacity, amount of surcharge, and (to the extent practical) overland flow of runoff during design storms. Calibrate models with available historic flooding information obtained in Phase 1. F. Evaluate alternatives for improvements, including phasing, levels of protection provided, detention, flood-prone property acquisition, conceptual alignments for relief storm drains, and estimated project costs. Develop a recommended improvement plan for watershed improvements. III. INVENTORY L �` 1 � � � A. Surveys and Mapping r u FL i U, '� I. Conduct field surveys and review of available construction plans as required to map all existing pipes and structures in the study area in accordance with the criteria identified in Exhibit "A-1 A." GIS mapping shall be provided for the major trunk lines and adjacent appurtenances for those attributes which are readily collectible, essential for the hydraulic model, and/or reflective of the condition assessment. Generally, all pipe, manhole, outfall, and feature data will be collected along the trunks, but inlet data will only be collected where deemed by each consultant essential to development of the models. 2. Obtain topographic survey as required, when combined with available LIDAR topography, digital aerial photography, and other available resources, to determine depths of ponding and routing of overland flows. 3. Conduct field surveys for outfall channels as required to determine down- stream tailwater effects on the storm drain system. [If applicable] Conduct field surveys on any open channel reaches within the study area to obtain channel cross sections, structural configurations, and to perform hydraulic routing of design runoff. B. Physical Assessment Conduct a visual walk-through and/or internal television inspection of the trunk storm drains in the study area. Map all encountered features as described in Exhibit "A-1 A." Document all unusual conditions found, including structural problems, permanent or temporary obstructions, protrusions, holes, and other notable conditions. Assess the severity of each defect, approximate stationing, estimated blockage area, potential for void outside of pipe, and related hazardous conditions. If a defect is found with imminent threat of collapse, City staff shall be notified immediately. If serious conditions or maintenance needs (e.g., lodged tree limbs, holes with minor voids, etc.) are found, City staff shall be notified in a brief status report within a week. For any scheduled walk-through inspections, consultant shall provide personal protective equipment to allow for up to two City staff members to accompany the inspection. C. Deliverables 1. Incorporate the findings above into a basin-wide ArcGIS Version 8 GIS database geo-referenced to the NAD 1983 State Plane Texas North Central Coordinate System and North American Vertical Datum of 1988, using standard GIS database tables provided by City and other information described in Exhibit "1-A1." Deliverables shall include electronic and printed copies of the GIS maps and database of storm drain system. 2 .. L% y 2. Prepare a report (electronic and printed) summarizing study methodology and findings. Also, identify any structural deficiencies or related problems found, with assessment of severity and priority for rehabilitation. Provide copies of tapes and logs for television inspection, and copies of logs and photographs of walk-through inspections. IV. MODELING A. Prepare an existing conditions model of the existing storm drain system using SWMM 5 with an acceptable methodology. Open channel reaches shall be modeled using SWMM 5 or HEC-RAS as appropriate. Model ponding depths and overland flow quantities and routes using data obtained in §III.A.2 above. B. Perform a historical high water mark simulation/validation with the hydraulic models using available historical rainfall and flood observation data. C. Execute the calibrated model to develop flood flows, storm drain capacities, ponding depths, and overland flow elevations for the 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 25- year, 50-year and 100-year events. [City may consider 5-year and 100-year only if it makes a significant difference in level-of-effort involved.] D. Map all identified flood-prone areas and, to the extent practical, identify which or how many structures may be subject to inundation. E. Deliverables shall include electronic versions of the models, as well as summary presentation exhibits to be determined based on the modeling results. Also included will be a report summarizing study methodology and results. V. IMPROVEMENT PLAN A. Following completion of existing conditions analysis, coordinate with City staff to assist in the development of potential alternative solutions. Formulate a series of conceptual alternative solutions to address structural and/or flooding problems, including storm drain improvements, channel improvements, detention, etc. Alternative flooding solutions shall be designed for a 100-year level of protection, as well as for lower levels of protection as may be appropriate based on modeled conditions. Alternative solutions shall also consider interim or phased implementation and the viability of improving upstream deficiencies prior to downstream deficiencies as conditions warrant. B. Prepare proposed conditions computer models for each alternative solution, including any interim and/or multi-phased solutions. C. Develop a cost-effective analysis for each alternative based on estimates of approximate flood damage benefits and probable project (design and 3 A �' 4� construction) costs, with consideration given to easement and right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation requirements.

DISCUSSION: The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $1,300,000.00 for Watershed Planning Studies. These studies are designed to provide a detailed assessment of the condition and capacity of several older storm drain systems and to develop an improvement plan for each. Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., recently completed Phase 1 of this study, which consisted of background work for a grant application and development of a detailed scope for the Phase 2 study. This phase includes detailed mapping and inspection of the major trunk lines within this storm drain system, hydraulic modeling, and development of a detailed improvement plan to be implemented as funding becomes available. Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., proposes to perform the study for a lump sum fee of $231,800.00. City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed. Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 35% M/WBE participation. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 8 and 9. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Street Improvements Fund.
