LOG NAME: 60FREESE AND NICHOLS LAKE WORTH DREDGING DESIGN PH 1 AMEND1

Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 1 with Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the Amount of $878,058.00 for a
Total Contract Amount of $2,397,337.00 for Engineering and Design Services for the Lake Worth Dredging
Project Phase 1, and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Lake Worth Gas Lease Capital Improvement Fund by $878,058.00 from Gas Well Revenues;
2. Authorize the transfer of $878,058.00 from the Lake Worth Gas Lease Capital Improvement Fund to

construction services associated with the Lake Worth Dredging Project Phase 1 in an amount not to

DISCUSSION:
On January 8, 2008, the City Council amended the Gas Well Revenue Distribution Policy to allow for
revenues derived from lease bonuses and royalties from properties in and around Lake Worth to be used
for the execution of the 2007 Lake Worth Capital Improvements Implementation Plan. One of the major
projects of this plan is the Lake Worth Dredging Project. In March 2008 Freese and Nichols, Inc., (Freese
and Nichols) was selected for the Phase 1 services. During contract negotiations the decision was made
to execute the design of the Lake Worth Dredging Project Phase 1 in two parts as a cost saving strategy
due to the complexities of acquiring a permit through the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE).
On December 16, 2008, (M &C C- 23262) the City Council authorized an Engineering Agreement with
Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the amount of $1,519,279.00 for the initial design of the Lake Worth Dredging
Project Phase 1 . Under this contract Freese and Nichols, Inc., has conducted field investigations and
surveys, performed disposal site analysis, developed preliminary plans and specifications for dredging,
coordinated with the ACOE and other agencies on permitting and performed project management. Under
the proposed Amendment No. 1, Freese and Nichols, Inc., will finalize permitting with the ACOE for both
Phase 1 and Phase 2, complete design for the dredging project based on ACOE comments and provide
bidding assistance for Phase 1. They will also perform general and special construction services to
monitor dredging operations and the calculation of dredge material quantities for the Lake Worth Dredging

Project Phase 1. In addition they will perform a preliminary Trail Route Study for the hike and bike trail
around Lake Worth and develop an emergency action plan for the Lake Worth Dam as required by the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The fee for services for Amendment No.1 are as
follows:

contract for the Phase 2 plans, specifications and construction management services. This will complete
the remaining design and construction management services required for the Lake Worth Dredging
Project. This contract will be brought to the Council for approval in the near future.
The proposed Amendment No.1 with Freese and Nichols, Inc., for the Lake Worth Dredging Project Phase
1 will be for an amount not to exceed $878,058.00 with a revised maximum fee of $2,397,337.00 for this
