Article IV
Obligations of the Engineer
Amendments to Article IV, if any, are included in Attachment C.
A. General
The ENGINEER will serve as the CITY's professional engineering representative
under this Agreement, providing professional engineering consultation and advice
and furnishing customary services incidental thereto.
B. Standard of Care

any health or safety precautions.
(2) Except to the extent of specific site visits expressly detailed and set forth in
Attachment A, the ENGINEER or its personnel shall have no obligation or
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
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the
services set forth in the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled
to rely upon such certification to establish materials, systems or equipment
and performance criteria to be required in the Contract Documents.
F. Opinions of Probable Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the
current available information at the time of preparation, in accordance with
Attachment A.
(2) In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility

conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect operation or
maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions;
time or quality of performance by third parties; quality, type, management,
or direction of operating personnel; and other economic and operational
factors that may materially affect the ultimate PROJECT cost or schedule.
Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty that the CITY's actual
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.
H. Record Drawings
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of information
compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent the exact
location, type of various components, or exact manner in which the PROJECT was
finally constructed. The ENGINEER is not responsible for any errors or omissions
in the information from others that is incorporated into the record drawings.
I. Minority and Woman Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Participation
In accord with City of Fort Worth Ordinance No. 15530, the City has goals for the
participation of minority business enterprises and woman business enterprises in
City contracts. Engineer acknowledges the M/WBE goal established for this

ATTACHMENT "A"
FOREST PARK— BERRY STORM DRAIN WATERSHED PLANNING STUDY (PHASE 2)
CITY PROJECT NO. 00079
SCOPE OF SERVICES
I. 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.
AA - 1
III. INVENTORY
A. Surveys and Mapping
1. 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." 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."
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 . , ; ';l a v' .'.
AA - 2
described in Exhibit "A-1." Deliverables shall include electronic and printed
copies of the GIS maps and database of storm drain system.
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.
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. 1
v1'' �,r
'vlily
AA - 3 °,f`^
C. Develop a cost-effective analysis for each alternative based on estimates of
approximate flood damage benefits and probable project (design and
construction) costs, with consideration given to easement and right-of-way
acquisition and utility relocation requirements.
D. Deliverables shall include a report summarizing methodology for developing of
the improvement plan, together with a summary of alternatives investigated and
recommended improvement plan. Improvement plan shall include proposed
prioritization, phasing and a summary of project costs. Electronic deliverables
shall include final report, alternatives models, and GIS mapping of recommended

methodology, to discuss and coordinate field issues, modeling issues or other
issues affecting multiple studies which may arise.
2. Individual meetings with City staff: six meetings over course of project,
including kickoff meeting, one meeting each to discuss findings after
mapping, inspection, and modeling phases, and two meetings during
development of improvement plan.
3. Stakeholder meetings: four meetings over course of project with City staff to
present and discuss goals and findings with City Council and/or public
stakeholders.
B. Presentation Materials

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/10/2006
DATE: Tuesday, January 10, 2006
LOG NAME: 20FOREST PK-BER REFERENCE NO.: **C-21238
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Engineering Agreement with Turner, Collie & Braden, Inc., for the Forest
Park-Berry Storm Drain Watershed Planning Study, Phase 2 (City Project No. 00079)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement
with Turner, Collie & Braden, Inc., in the amount of $215,500.00 for the Forest Park-Berry Storm Drain
Watershed Planning Study, Phase 2.
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.
Turner, Collie & Braden, 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. Turner, Collie & Braden, Inc., proposes to perform the study for a lump sum fee of
$215,500.00. City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
Turner, Collie & Braden, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 23%
M/WBE participation.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the
Street Improvements Fund.
