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
The standard of care applicable to the ENGINEER's services will be the degree of
skill and diligence normally employed in the State of Texas by professional
engineers or consultants performing the same or similar services at the time such
services are performed.
C. Subsurface Investigations
(1) The ENGINEER shall advise the CITY with regard to the necessity for
subcontract work such as special surveys, tests, test borings, or other

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.

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

plans for the area within the Lebow Channel Watershed from OWNER. This
Scope assumes existing and future landuse and/or zoning maps are available from
the OWNER. These maps will be used as a basis for preparing the hydrologic
landuse maps. If this information is not available, then the OWNER will need to
authorize Additional Services for development of this base information.
2. Obtain "As-Built" plans for channel improvements and grading and drainage
construction within the Lebow watershed from OWNER.
3. Obtain digital copies of latest versions of aerial topographic and photographic
data from OWNER, including NCTCOG LIDAR data.
B. Field Work
1. Perform site visits to verify the watershed study limits and channel study-limits,
and to identify hydraulic parameters, existing erosion problems, condition of pipe
outfalls, and potential detention facility sites.

2. Field Surveys will be taken to obtain existing information to facilitate the hydraulic
study. All roadway crossings will be detailed and channel cross-sections will be
taken at regular intervals (200-500 foot spacing) to build hydraulic models of the
channel.
Task 2— Hydrologic Analysis
This scope includes the tasks necessary to develop new hydrologic models of the Lebow
Channel Watershed. Values obtained will be compared with FEMA FIS effective hydrology and
a written analysis of discrepancies will be presented.
A. Existing Conditions Analysis
1. Obtain current effective models from FEMA for comparison of input parameters.
2. Use NCTCOG 2001 (or latest version) LIDAR topographic maps to delineate
sub-watersheds.
3. Compare delineated sub-watersheds with drainage boundaries in existing storm
sewer construction plans to verify sub-watershed alignments.
4. Develop an existing condition hydrologic landuse map based on aerial
photography and the City's landuse/zoning maps.
5. Using data obtained from Items A2. through A4. above, develop hydrologic
models in HEC-HMS format to calculate discharges for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100
and 500-year storm events. Compare these values with FEMA current effective
discharges.
B. Fully Developed Conditions Analysis
1. Using OWNER supplied build-out zoning and land use-data, calculate fully
developed hydrologic land use values.
2. Calculate discharges for fully developed watershed conditions for the 2, 5, 10,
25,50, and 100, and 500-year storm events as described in Task 2A above.
Compare with existing conditions discharges.
Task 3—Hydraulic Analysis
This scope includes the tasks necessary to determine water surface elevations and limits of
flooding for the return events specified in Task 2 - Hydrologic analysis.
A. Existing Conditions Analysis
1. Develop a hydraulic model of the channel in HEC-RAS format using the cross-
section data obtained from the field surveys described in Task 1. The City's
latest LIDAR topographic data will be used to supplement the surveyed cross-
sections. The hydraulic model will extend from the channel confluence with the
Clear Fork of the Trinity River up to the existing detention pond just west of Blue
Mound Road and will include peak discharges for existing development in the
watershed as calculated in Task 2A. The limits of the existing conditions 100-
year flood plain will be provided to the OWNER in digital format and mapped on
a series of panels for a graphical representation of flooding adjacent to the
channel.
2. Compare existing conditions water surface elevations and floodplain limits with
FEMA current effective values. A written description and explanation of
discrepancies will be prepared.
B. Fully Developed Conditions Analysis
1. Using the peak discharges calculated in Task 2B, and the hydraulic model
EA1-2
Rev 5/13/05
generated in Task 3A, determine the limits of the 100-year floodplain for fully
developed watershed conditions. Compare water surface elevations from the
existing conditions base model with developed conditions water surface
elevations.
2. Identify areas where construction improvements are needed to minimize flooding
from fully developed watershed conditions.
3. Coordinate with OWNER to identify proposed locations for detention basins.
4. Perform detention analysis at a maximum of four (4) locations to determine the
effect of detention on downstream peak discharges.
5. Evaluate structural and non-structural improvement alternatives such as
watershed management strategies, regional detention, buy-outs, increased
capacity, diversion of flow, bridge/culvert replacement, channel armoring, or
levees to alleviate existing or potential flooding and/or erosion problems
identified. ENGINEER will conduct two (2) meetings with OWNER during
evaluation of alternatives to select final improvement scenario. One
recommended improvement scenario, comprising a combination of improvement
measures at identified sites, will be selected for hydraulic modeling and 100-year
fully developed floodplain delineation.
6. Provide OWNER with a written report of analysis results in both digital and hard
copy format. A graphical representation of the recommended improvements
scenario and the revised limits of the 100-year flood plain will be provided to the
OWNER in digital format and mapped on a series of panels to denote a
reduction in flood limits. Opinions of Probable Construction Cost will be provided
for the recommended measures. A summary of properties to be removed from
the floodplain along with those remaining within the floodplain will be provided.
Task 4— Project Development
This Scope includes the coordination and communication procedures to be implemented
between OWNER and ENGINEER in completion of this project.
A. Project Coordination
1. Conduct up to six (6) project status meetings with OWNER. Meetings shall be
held at least every other month to update OWNER as to status of project and to
determine hierarchy of OWNER preferences in improvement measures.
2. In coordination with OWNER, conduct two (2) public involvement meetings to
supply project information, goals, and schedule to the surrounding residential
community.
3. Prepare monthly updates for OWNER identifying what work was accomplished,
what items are pending, and what outstanding issues need immediate attention.
B. Special Services
Attend planning meetings as requested by City to assist with property acquisition
and other miscellaneous service related to the Lebow Channel Concept Study.
Efforts under this task shall be performed at the specific request of the City and
shall be reimbursed on an hourly basis.

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 8/30/2005
DATE: Tuesday, August 30, 2005
LOG NAME: 20LEBOW/CH/HYDR REFERENCE NO.: **C-20925
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Engineering Agreement with Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., for Lebow
Channel Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis (City Project No. 00084)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement
with Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., in the amount of $243,900.00 for the Lebow Channel Hydrologic and
Hydraulic Analysis.
DISCUSSION:
The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $2,500,000.00 for Lebow Channel Watershed
Improvements. These funds will provide for the first phase of a long-term improvement program to address
public safety and flooding issues in this watershed.
A conceptual study of the watershed completed earlier this year identified proposed improvements. Such
improvements include storm water detention facilities in the upper watershed, elimination of hydraulic
bottlenecks, acquisition of flood prone property and development of linear natural corridors along the
channel in the lower watershed.
The project will analyze existing flooding conditions in the watershed, evaluate specific alternatives to
relieve flooding and develop preliminary engineering designs with cost estimates for recommended
alternatives.
Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary assessments and analyses for a lump
sum fee of $243,900.00. City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services
proposed.
Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 25%
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on the project is 25%.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon the approval of the above recommendation, funds will be available
in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Street Improvements Fund.
