ATTACHMENT "A"
Scope for Engineering Design Related Services for Erosion Mapping and Miscellaneous
Geo-morphological Services
The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in
completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the
work to be performed and address the needs of the Project. Under this scope, "ENGINEER"
is expanded to include any sub-consultant, including surveyor, employed or contracted by
the ENGINEER.
PREFACE
The City of Fort Worth experiences several erosion and sedimentation issues that are
common occurrences in urbanized and developing watersheds. As progress occurs, the
landscape is transformed from one landuse to another, which sometimes triggers overland
and creeks process to respond by eroding in some locations and causing excess sediment
in others. These erosion and sedimentation issues can threaten infrastructure (building,
pipelines, roadways, park land, etc.), increase flood risk due to reduced conveyance
capacity in channels and reduced storage capacity in detention areas, expend field
operation crew time in removing and disposing of excess sediment, and creating potentially
unsafe areas for nearby residents.
In order to identify overland and creek landscape areas of the City that are experiencing or
vulnerable to future erosion, the City developed an early version of an Erosion Potential Map
at 100-ft resolution. The map serves to educate the public, help anticipate and schedule
restoration activities and maintenance projects, and assist avoiding erosion prone areas.
Areas were classified into seven categories ranging from low-no erosion to high-extreme
erosion. The CITY has requested the ENGINEER to provide an expansion of the early
methodology development to create a very high confidence, and more precise and accurate
product as well as be available for on-call consultation for any erosion and/or sedimentation
concerns that may come up over the duration of the contract.
OBJECTIVE
This contract provides professional services through an ID/IQ, so that highly qualified and
recognized specialists who have laboratory, training, and extensive field experience with
capacity to help develop a methodology for mapping erosive areas over the City limits, ETJ,
and contributing watershed drainage areas outside the City and ETJ limits. It is anticipated
that an Erosion Potential Mapping methodology will be developed during this ID/IQ and will
be validated over a limited spatial domain (i.e, Marys Creek Watershed, Sycamore Creek
Watershed, etc.)for landscape areas experiencing instability as well as areas in generally
stable conditions. It is anticipated that specific tasks associated with enhancing and
redeveloping an improved Erosion Potential Methodology may include:
• Data collection of available data relevant to erosion to be complied and organized.
• Scientific literature review of erosion concerns related to urban settings would be
collected and reviewed. Selected literature would focus on causes, drives, and
processes of erosion in urban environments.
• Data preparation and documentation to develop a memo that presents the collected
data, formats, and potential concerns (data gaps) with the data sources.
City of Fort Worth,Texas
Attachment A
PMO Release Date:07/23/2012
Page 1 of 22
• Parameter identification would be developed based on the data collection, literature
review, peer review to characterize potential drivers of erosion within the City and
ETJ.
• Parameter evaluation will focus on parameters chosen based on the outcome of the
data collection, scientific literature, and peer review and approved by the City. For
example, these may focus on land use, geology and soils, hydraulics, channel
morphology, riparian vegetation, and proximity to infrastructure.
• Data processing by the use of GIS technology to analyze data, generate scripts,
develop automated iterations to calculate and evaluate selected parameters. For
example, LiDAR data may be used to evaluate channel geometry (W/D), channel
bed slope, side slopes, etc.) and processed to analyze multiple data sets for the
same locations, different year to assess channel change over time.
• Statistical analysis, calibration, and adjustment will compare each parameter to
existing conditions documented in previous studies and conduct a correlation
analysis to see which parameters coincide with the conditions. Adjusted parameters
would be based on statistical analysis and calibration, field verification and past
scientific evidence.
• Field Validation would visit a specific number of locations distributed geographically
and physiographically across the City and ETJ to validate the methodology. This
information would be use to assess in the input parameters are reliable and
accurate.
This contract is also anticipating the need for on-call geomorphological services. The
ENGINEER will provide as needed on-call geomorphological services for the CITY. The
ENGINEER will provide boots on the ground quickly to respond to the requests of the CITY.
Each problem will likely have a unique set of challenges specific to the conditions. The
ENGINEER will respond to requests through a combination of desktop analysis and site
visits. The ENGINEER will document the results of each task in a memo to file, describing
observations and recommendations for next steps. Work will be conducted on an as-
needed basis and the ENGINEER will respond to requests from the CITY promptly and
efficiently.
WORK TO BE PERFORMED
Because of great variability in the amount of parameters potentially being evaluated for the
Erosion Mapping Methodology and the variation in the assessment needs at each location,
the Scope of Work, Deliverables, Compensation, and Schedule will be negotiated for each
individual Task Order. Task Orders will be documented on a on a Task Order authorization
form, and a blank sample is provided in Attachment "B" to this contract. Authorization to
proceed is given by signature of the CITYs Project Manager. No work will be conducted
under this ID/IQ without first receiving prior authorization from the CITY.
Compensation is based in time and materials use the rate sheet provided as Attachment"B"
to this contract.
Project schedules will be developed for each individual Task Order. The total duration of the
project will not exceed 2 years. The ENGINEER understands that this contract is renewal
one time at the CITY's discretion

Amount of$200,000.00 for Erosion Mapping and Miscellaneous Geomorphological

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an Agreement with Stantec Consulting
Services Inc., in the amount of$200,000.00 for Erosion Mapping and Miscellaneous
Geomorphological Services with an option to renew for an additional year.
DISCUSSION:
The contract recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication will be used to develop a
methodology to identify areas of the City that are experiencing or are likely to experience severe
erosion due to rainfall and stream flow. The contract also has a provision for the Consultant to
provide technical services toward the development of mitigation plans for erosion problems that are
identified. The effort will assist with City infrastructure projects located in erosion prone areas, the
prioritization of erosion control projects, and serve as a communications tool to help inform the
planning and decision making of current and prospective property owners/residents. Application of
the methodology to map the City in a Geographic Information System (GIS)will be authorized
through a subsequent Mayor& Council communication. This work will also provide key information
for the development of a City policy setting guidelines for the City's engagement with severe erosion
in private creeks and channels.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ)for a variety of drainage engineering services was published in
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in May and June of 2018. Eighteen firms responded to the Erosion and
Geomorphology aspect of the RFQ. Stantec Consulting Services Inc., was selected as the most
qualified firm based on the selection critera. This not-to-exceed contract for $200,000.00 will have an
initial term of one (1) year, with an option to renew for an additional year. Staff considers this fee to
be fair and reasonable for the contemplated scope of services. Funding will be from the Stormwater
