COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/6/2007 -Ordinance No. 17425-03-2007
DATE: Tuesday, March 06, 2007
LOG NAME: 30CITYWIDE00489 REFERENCE NO.: **C-21991
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Dunaway Associates, L.P., for Citywide
Groundwater Seepage Study and Improvements (Project No. 00489) and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $67,863.00 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 $6.7,863.00; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with Dunaway Associates, L.P., the
amount of $38,405.00 for Citywide Seepage Study & Improvements.
DISCUSSION:
Groundwater seepage represents a nuisance on public roadways, at times contributing to pavement failure
or public safety hazards. Subdrain systems to collect seepage have been funded in the past by both the
Street Maintenance Program and by the Capital Improvement Program.
City staff has identified approximately 30 locations in the City with reported seepage problems. The scope
of this study includes investigation of the severity of the seepage at each location, developing planning
costs, and recommending prioritization for implementing subdrain improvements. Based on the findings,
construction for these projects will be funded from the Street Maintenance Program or Storm Water
Management Program.
The Storm Water Management Program was established to reduce flooding in Fort Worth, preserve
streams, to minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water system in a more effective manner to
fully comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. These goals will be accomplished by
constructing infrastructure improvements, system maintenance, master planning, enhanced development
review, and increased public education and outreach.
Dunaway Associates, L.P., proposes to perform the necessary work for a lump sum fee of $38,405.00. City
Staff considers this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $29,458.00 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.

This project is located CITYWIDE.
