SUBJECT:
Authorize an Engineering Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., for Mercado Channel
Improvements Study (Project No. 00779) and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
--
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $63,090 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 $63,090; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., in the
amount of $54,860 for Mercado Channel Improvements 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.
The Mercado Channel storm drainage system has been determined to be inadequate. The scope of work
for this project includes a hydraulic study and recommendations for design improvements to convey the
100-year storm in accordance with City guidelines and to provide erosion protection.
HDR Engineering, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary study work for a lump sum fee of $54,860. City
Staff considers this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $8,230 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.
HDR, Engineering, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/UVBE Ordinance by committing to 27 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 16 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, and adoption of the
