responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar with the progress
or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine, in general,
if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner 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, for any reason, the ENGINEER should make an on-site observation(s), on
the basis of such on-site observations, if any, the ENGINEER shall endeavor
to keep the CITY informed of any deviation from the Contract Documents
coming to the actual notice of ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of materials,
systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the services set forth

certification to establish materials, systems or equipment and performance
criteria to be required in the Contract Documents.
F. Opinions of Probable Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the
current available information at the time of preparation, in accordance
with Attachment A.

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 the construction contractor that affect the
amount that should be paid.

DISCUSSION:
On March 13, 2002, (M&C C-19013) the City Council authorized the execution of an engineering agreement
for the update to the Water System Master Plan. This study provided schedules for major water capital
improvement projects through the year 2025. The update to the water master plan contains projections for
both population growth and corresponding potable water demands of each pressure zone within the Water
Department's service area, including the rapidly growing Northside service area.
The Water Master Plan recommended that a 1.0 Million Gallon Elevated Storage Tank be constructed to
provide service to the Northside IV pressure plane along with the installation of approximately 14,000 linear
feet of 24/30" water main, connecting the proposed elevated storage tank with a proposed developer
installed 24" line, located at the intersection of Avondale Haslet Road and US 287. The proposed elevated
storage tank will be located approximately one mile west of the intersection of Tinsley and Business 287.
This proposed elevated storage tank, along with the city and developer installed Northside IV transmission
pipelines and proposed Sendera Ranch pump station will provide potable water service to the higher
elevations within far north Fort Worth.
As part of the scope of work within this agreement, the engineer will assist in acquisition and platting of the
elevated storage tank property, perform all engineering and design functions necessary for the preparation
of plans and specifications for the elevated storage tank project and the pipeline project, provide
construction estimates, provide bidding services and shop drawing review, and perform the construction
management for the construction of the elevated storage tank.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7 and Northwest Tarrant County.
Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc., is in compliance with the City's MWWBE policy by committing to 31 percent
MWBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 19 percent.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval and completion of the above recommendations, and the
adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as
appropriated, of the Water Capital Projects Fund.
