their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all
construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures
necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction
work in accordance with the Contract Documents and any health or safety
precautions required by such construction work. The ENGINEER and its
personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction
contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or
any health or safety precautions.
(2) Except to the extent of specific site visits expressly detailed and set forth in

North Park Improvements
Page 3 of 17
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 the ENGINEER makes on-site
observation(s) of a deviation from the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER
shall inform the CITY.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of

projections, and schedules for the PROJECT, the ENGINEER has no
control over cost or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent
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

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Background
North Park is a 50-acre community park located in far north Fort Worth, approximately 1% miles
east of 1-35W and approximately 3 Y2 miles north of 1-820, at the northeast corner of the
intersection of Beach Street and Shiver Road. North Park is owned and maintained by the CITY.
The primary uses of the park are currently competitive youth soccer, baseball/softball practice,
outdoor basketball/inline hockey, neighborhood trail access, and land lease for the Northpark
YMCA physical fitness center/community room.
An initial master plan for development of the park was prepared by Carter Burgess in 1999 and
endorsed by the CITY's Park&Recreation Advisory Board on January 18, 2000.
The initial master plan included the following improvements:
■ 4 adult soccer fields (lighted)
• 3 to 4 youth soccer fields (lighted)
■ 2 to 3 little league baseball fields (lighted)
■ 1 lighted pony league baseball field
■ 2 playgrounds
■ 1 skate park
■ 1 combination play court(2 basketball/1 in-line hockey)
■ 2 restroom/concession buildings
■ 1 large group pavilion
■ 1 recreational trail (%mile length) along east-side drainage channel
■ 1 parking area (656-spaces)
■ 1 on-channel retention pond (3-acres)
Following preparation and endorsement of the initial master plan, the CITY implemented design
and construction of a portion of the initial master plan improvements:
■ 4 adult soccer fields (unlighted)
■ 1 youth soccer field (unlighted)
■ 1 little league baseball field (unlighted)
■ 1 combination play court (2 basketball/1 in-line hockey)
■ 1 recreational trail (%mile length)along east-side drainage channel
■ 1 parking area (157 spaces)

Park described as'master plan update and implementation of the park master plan, including,but
not limited to, the renovation of existing soccer fields, provision of additional athletic facilities,
restrooms,additional parking,security lighting,and supporting infrastructure and equipment'and
'design and construction of new athletic field lighting with supporting infrastructure'.
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to prepare an updated master plan and order-of-magnitude opinion
of probable construction cost for all recommended park improvements. The updated master plan
shall incorporate CITY bond program planned improvements, YMCA current and planned future
facilities, and other anticipated future park facilities identified through community input and
discussion with CITY staff.
Anticipated Additional Park Elements
At this time, the following improvements are anticipated to be considered for inclusion in the
updated master plan:
