LOG NAME: 30KERMIT00484 REFERENCE NO.: *~C-22159
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with TranSystems Corporation Consultant for
Drainage Improvements to Kermit-Bonnie Channel and Culvert, 4600 Block Merida Avenue, Sarita
Channel and Waverly Park (Project No. 00484) and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $169,063.00 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 $169,063.00; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with TranSystems Corporation
Consultants, in the amount of $132,305.00 for drainage improvements to Kermit-Bonnie channel and
culvert, 4600 Block Merida Avenue, Sarita Channel and Waverly Park.
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 consists of the preparation of plans and specifications for drainage improvements
to Kermit-Bonnie channel and culvert, 4600 Block Merida Avenue, Sarita Channel and Waverly Park. At the
Kermit-Bonnie channel, an undersized culvert has caused residential and roadway flooding. Culvert
improvements are needed to convey the 100-year storm flow. At 4600 Block Merida Avenue, residential
flooding has occurred and a storm drain extension is needed. At Sarita Channel, residential flooding has
occurred and access ramps to the channel bottom and a pipe draining stilling basin is needed. Channel
capacity needs to be evaluated to convey the 100-year storm flow. At Waverly Park, the storm drain system
is undersized and culvert improvements are needed to convey the 100-year storm flow.
TranSystems Corporation Consultants, proposes to perform the necessary engineering services for a lump
sum fee of $132,305.00. City Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services
proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $36,758.00 is required for project management by the Engineering
Department for project management.
