Amendments to Article IV, if any, are included in Attachment C.
A. General
The ENGINEER will serve as the CITY's professional engineering
representative under this Agreement, providing professional engineering
consultation and advice and furnishing customary services incidental thereto.
B. Standard of Care
The standard of care applicable to the ENGINEER's services will be the
degree of skill and diligence normally employed in the State of Texas by
professional engineers or consultants performing the same or similar services
at the time such services are performed.
C. Subsurface Investigations
(1) The ENGINEER shall advise the CITY with regard to the necessity for
subcontract work such as special surveys, tests, test borings, or other
subsurface investigations in connection with design and engineering

whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the ENGINEER
or its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that belong to the
CITY and/or the CITY's construction contractors or other 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
Attachment A, the ENGINEER or its personnel shall have no obligation or
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
in the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled to rely upon such
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.
(2) In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility
projections, and schedules for the PROJECT, the ENGINEER has no
control over cost or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent

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 the construction contractor that affect the
amount that should be paid.
H. Record Drawings
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of
information compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent
the exact location, type of various components, or exact manner in which the
PROJECT was finally constructed. The ENGINEER is not responsible for any
errors or omissions in the information from others that is incorporated into the
record drawings.

LOG NAME: 30TONYSCREEK486 REFERENCE NO.: **C-22162
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Engineering Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., for the Tony's Creek
Detention Rehabilitation Study (Project No. 00486) and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $37,157.00 from the Storm Water Utility 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$37,157.00; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., in the
amount of$32,310.00 for the Tony's Creek Detention Rehabilitation Study.
DISCUSSION:
The Storm Water Management Program was established to reduce flooding in Fort Worth, preserve
streams, minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water system in a more effective manner to fully
comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. This will be accomplished by infrastructure
reconstruction and system maintenance, master planning, enhanced development review, and increased
public education and outreach.
Tony's Creek Detention Pond is a City-owned facility which has deteriorated due to erosion and parking lot
runoff.
The scope of the project includes the preparation of a drainage study that will provide recommendations for
the necessary improvements to Tony's Creek Detention Pond which has deteriorated due to erosion and
surface runoff.
HDR Engineering, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary study work for a lump sum fee of
$32,310.00. City Staff considers this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $4,847.00 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.
HDR, Engineering, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 26 percent
M/ BE participation. The City's goal on this project is 15 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
