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 scope of this project includes the preparation of a drainage study that will provide recommendations for
the necessary improvements to the Academy Boulevard Culvert and Grassland Court drainage system to
allow for 100-year storm flow coverage.
Neel Schaffer, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary study work for a lump sum fee of $62,790.00. City
Staff considers this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $9,419.00 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.
Neel Schaffer, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 21 percent MNVBE
participation. The City's goal on this project is 20 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
