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.

We anticipate pulverizing the existing asphaltic pavement, mixing it with the underlying materials, stabilizing it with cement, shaping and compacting it as a subgrade, and then placing a single lift of hot mix asphaltic concrete surface course. This approach to pavement rehabilitation is consistent with previous successful maintenance projects completed by the City of Fort Worth. However, this resulting pavement section does not conform to the City's recently adopted Pavement Design Manual. To proceed with this less expensive pavement rehabilitation approach, we request confirmation that this is acceptable. The existing parking lots, identified within PACSD Request For Proposal, exhibit distressed pavements, grading, drainage, erosion, and accessibility issues. To address these numerous concerns, we anticipate a more wholesale reconstruction of the parking areas. We propose to provide the required professional engineering and surveying services to design and assist with contractor solicitation, as described in Exhibits A-1 Consultant Agreement and A-2 Supplemental Scope of Services, to rehabilitate the existing asphaltic roadways and parking lots pavements and address erosion problems, as identified in Exhibit A-3 Project Location and Limit of Paving and Erosion Improvements. 6300 Ridglea Place, Ste 700 Fort Worth, Texas 76116 Tel: 817-338-1277 Fax: 817-338-9245 E-Mail: mail@bhbinc.com ATTACKMENT A SUPPLEMENTAL SCOPE OF SERVICES DESIGN SERViCES: PAViNG ANDIOR DRAIN�►GE IMPROVEMENTS The following is a clarification of the tasks that the ENGINEER will perform under ATTACHMENT "A".

Proposed fees are based upon Curve "A", which has been established for water distribution lines under 16"- diameter and sanitary sewer collection lines under 24"-diameter. Curve "A" has also been determined appropriate for roadway reconstruction projects; whereas Curve "B" is appropriate for new roadway construction. The significant constraints (existing driveways, parkway enhancements, intersecting streets, etc.) associated with a reconstruction projectjustify the use of Curve "A" over Curve "B".

DISCUSSION: The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Proposition One: Street and Storm Sewer Improvement Projects allocated $5,050,000.00 for funding at 23 parking lot and road replacement projects in community parks sites with $583,000.00 allocated for Trinity Park. In addition, $1,000,000.00 was allocated for funding at six drainage and erosion control projects in community parks with $100,000.00 allocated for Trinity Park. The scope of services include an assessment of Trinity Park roadway conditions and identification of priority rehabilitation areas within available budget. Baird, Hampton & Brown, Inc., has proposed to perform the design work and subsequent construction observation services for a lump sum of $80,864.00. Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed. Final construction documents for parking lot and erosion control development shall be completed and submitted for City staff review no later than late June 2007. Construction is anticipated to begin in January 2008 with completion by May 2008. M/WBE - Baird, Hampton & Brown, Inc., is in compliance with the City M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 10 percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 8 percent. Trinity Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9 and serves all citizens, therefore is listed as a CITY WIDE project. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Street Improvements Fund.
