SEJBJECT:
Authorize Execution Amendment No. 1 to Engineering Agreement with DeOtte, Inc., for Citywide
Roadway Flooding Hazard Assessment and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance r
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $149,500.00 from the Storm Water Operating Fund to the Storm Water
Capital Projects Fund,
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Storm Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $149,500; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute amendment No. 1 to Engineering Agreement with DeOtte, Ina.,
to provide engineering services for the Citywide Roadway Flooding Hazard Assessment in the amount of
$149,500 far a total contract cost of $312,500.00.
DISCUSSION:
In 2004, the Citywide Roadway Flooding Hazard Assessment was initiated to evaluate and prioritize
roadway flooding hazards within the City and to prioritize them for removal, improvement, or installation of
warning systems. On July 27, 2004, Council approved M&C C-20164 authorizing the City Manager to
execute a contract with costs not to exceed $163,000 with DeOtte, Ina., far a Citywide Roadway Flooding
Hazard Assessment. Of the 38 known hazardous lacations included in the original study, 14 lacatians have
since had high water warning systems installed. Eight of the 38 locations are currently under design far
roadway improvements to eliminate or significantly reduce roadway overtopping.
Subsequent investigations have identified about 700 additional roadway locatoons which could be subject to
flooding within the City. The flooding is known ar suspected to be hazardous at approximately 250 of these
locations. DeOtte, Inc., submitted a contract amendment for $149,500, to evaluate and prioritize these 250
lacatians and to recommend warning systems or other treatments as appropriate at approximately 25
specific lacations. Staff considers this amount to be fair and reasonable for the proposed scope of work.
This amendment No. 1 will be funded by the Storm Water Management Program, which was established to
prevent flooding in Fort Worth, preserve streams, minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water
system in a mare effective manner to fully comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. This will
be accomplished by improving infrastructure reconstruction and system maintenance, master planning,
enhanced development review, and increased public education and outreach.
DeOtte, Inc., is in compliance with the City's MWBE Ordinance by committing to 15 percent MNVBE
participation an this study.
