shall not be liable for the use of such drawings for any project other than the
PROJECT described herein.
E. Engineer's Personnel at Construction Site
(1) The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction site,
whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the

entities, and do not relieve the construction contractors or any other entity of
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

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 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
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the

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

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Background
In August 2017 a Park& Recreation Department study was begun to evaluate gaps in the CITY'S existing
recreation trail system. The study identified fourteen gaps of various lengths and ranked their impact on
the trail system based upon scoring across ten impact categories. The six highest-ranked gaps were
studied at a schematic design level (approximately 30% construction document level) to identify trail
development opportunities and constraints and to determine best likely trail connection design
configuration. This analysis was conducted separately from but in coordination with other concurrent
trail analysis and planning projects by the CITY'S Planning and Development Department, North Central
Texas Council of Governments, and Streams & Valleys, Inc. in order to avoid planning conflicts and task
overlaps, to share information, and to advance progress in development of the metropolitan area
recreational trail system.
In May 2018,voters approved the City of Fort Worth 2018 Bond Program which included'Walks and Trails
-Trail Gap Connections' described in more detail as 'design and construction of trails citywide to address
gaps between trail sections within the trail system, including locations where city funds can be leveraged
through grants and partnerships with other organizations and agencies to address gaps between sections
within the trail system and create expanded recreational and accessible trail opportunities.'
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to prepare preliminary design documents for the following trail gap
connections which were highly ranked in the CITY'S trail gap study:
■ Buck Sansom Park to Marine Creek Lake Trail —segment from the existing trail located in the
northeast corner of Buck Sansom Park to the existing trail located between the trailhead parking
area and the boat ramp parking area at the southeast corner of Marine Creek Lake, measuring
approximately 1.4 miles in length
■ Arcadia Trail Park South to Arcadia Trail Park North — segment from the existing trail just
northeast of the intersection of Seneca Drive and Truxton Court to the northeast corner of the
intersection of N. Beach Street and Thompson Road, measuring approximately 0.5 miles in length
■ Marine Creek Lake Trail to Marine Creek Ranch Park—segment from the existing lake loop trail
around the northeast corner of Marine Creek Lake just north of Chisholm Trail High School to
Cromwell-Marine Creek Road at the northeast corner of Marine Creek Ranch Park, measuring
approximately 0.9 miles in length
■ Marine Creek Ranch Park to Anderson Park—segment from Cromwell-Marine Creek Road at the
northeast corner of Marine Creek Ranch Park to the existing trail along the south side of
Brookstone Lane, measuring approximately 0.5 miles in length

Anticipated Trail Elements
The new trail segments are anticipated to be concrete paved, ADA accessible, and 10 feet in width.
Pedestrian bridges with finish surface elevation exceeding 29 inches above adjacent existing/proposed
finish grade elevation (requiring guardrails) are not anticipated to be required in these trail segments.
In cross-slope or up-slope/down-slope conditions, use of turned-up-edge/turned-down-edge trail paving
or low height retaining walls may be required. In wet conditions, low-water bridges or prefabricated low-
level concrete boardwalks or other system recommended by ENGINEER and approved by CITY may be
utilized (with finish surface elevation not exceeding 29 inches above adjacent existing/proposed finish
grade elevation). However,trail design which would result in required use of handrails and/or guardrails
should be minimized unless directed otherwise by CITY.
Required trail accessible ramps, pavement striping, pavement surface articulation,signage, handrails,and
guardrails shall be included in the preliminary design.
Services Overview
Basic Services provided by the ENGINEER include review of the CITY's schematic design for each trail
segment (plans and cost opinion at approximately 30%construction document level), preparation of any
recommendations by ENGINEER for changes to the CITY's schematic design, and preparation of
preliminary design documents (plans,specifications, and cost opinion at approximately 60%construction
document level) based on the CITY's schematic design and CITY-approved changes.
Special Services provided by the ENGINEER include topographic survey and, as requested by the CITY,
contingency services including but not limited to participation in additional meetings or coordination,
additional topographic survey, easement descriptions, geotechnical investigation, subsurface utilities
investigation, and/or additional design assistance.
