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 agreement consists of the preparation of a drainage study for culvert and, channel
improvements for both Walker Branch and Lorean Branch in order to convey the 100 year storm
underneath the roadway at 9100 Trinity Boulevard.
Stream Water Group, Inc., proposes to conduct the necessary study for a lump sum fee of $92,135.00. City
Staff considers this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $13,822.00 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.
Stream Water Group, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 12 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 10 percent.
