Re: Dirks Road —Bryant Irvin Road to Granbury Road
City Project No. 00768, City Secretary Contract No. 38775
Proposal to provide:
1) PS&E plans conforming to TxDOT procedures, practices, policies, standard
specifications, and any special provisions or special specifications necessary
for the project.
2) Additional retaining walls and geotechnical investigations necessary to
minimize ROW impacts adjacent to the railroad.
3) Construction Inspection services for FWWR railroad track works.
4) Additional modifications to the Section 404 Permit documentation due to
extended project limits (channel modifications).
Dear Mr. Wilson:
This letter is written in response to your request for Kennedy Consulting, Ltd. to prepare
a contract amendment for additional engineering services to amend and/or develop
additional construction documents for Dirks Road (East) due to TxDOT oversight and
additional retaining wall needs. This contract amendment shall also include construction
inspection services for the FWWR railroad track works and additional modifications to
the previously submitted Section 404 Permit (PCN) due to additional outfall channel
improvements necessary to accommodate adequate hydraulic capacity.
Kennedy Consulting, Ltd. will complete the following additional scope:
Additional Project Scope —Convert lans to follow TxDOT S ecifications
The original scope was to produce the PS&E in accordance to City design criteria but due
to federal funding and TxDOT's oversight responsibilities, plans will now have to be
converted to TxDOT specifications and submitted to TxDOT's Fort Worth District and
Design Division offices for review and approval. Kennedy Consulting, Ltd, will convert
the construction documents to follow the latest TxDOT specifications for the Dirks Road
East improvements. Below are some of the additional tasks that are required.

Due to TXDOT's involvement, we are required to develop the plan set in accordance with
the checklists set forth by TxDOT-Fort Worth and submit the plans for review and
approval:
■ Schematic coordination and design waiver request submittal.
■ Reformatting the title sheet, general notes, bid items, specifications, typical
section sheets, consolidated summaries, and miscellaneous details to follow
TxDOT specifications and PS&E Preparation Manual.
■ Preparing preliminary retaining wall and bridge layouts for submission to TxDOT
for review and approval before final structural details may be developed.
■ A detailed geotechnical engineering study and pavement design following
TxDOT pavement design criteria will be prepared and submitted to TxDOT for
review and approval.
■ Additional coordination meetings are expected with the City and TxDOT to
discuss review comments and resolutions.
Additional Proiect Scope —Additional Retaining Walls
The contract amendment shall also include additional retaining wall design and
geotechnical investigations (following TxDOT criteria) necessary to minimize ROW
impacts near commercially developed parcels adjacent to the FWWR railroad. This
includes an additional �1,900 LF of retaining wall (T-Wall) and associated geotechnical
investigations adjacent to the railroad that previously was not anticipated as part of this
project.
Additional Proiect Scope —Railroad Construction Inspection Services
The contact amendment shall also include construction management/inspection services
for the construction for the required track infrastructure improvements associated with
the construction of the new RR grade separation at Dirks Road. Duties may include
attending preparatory and preconstruction meetings as needed, providing periodic site
visits to perform track quality assurance observations from top of subballast to top of rail,
preparing daily reports of on -site observations, quality issues, and progress, and
developing punch lists of non -conforming work in accordance with the plans and
specifications provided to the contractor by the City.
Additional Proiect Scope —Section 404 Permit (PCN) Modifications
The contract amendment shall also include Section 404 Permit (PCN) modifications to
reflect additional outfall channel modifications and grading necessary to provide
adequate hydraulic capacity at the proposed culvert outfall / channel location. As such,
the area of environmental impact associated with this project will increase (but remain
under 0.5 acres therefore not requiring an individual Section 404 Permit) and will require
a re -submittal of the PCN for further review and approval from the USACE.

LOG NAME: 20DIRKS ROAD AMEND 2
SUB.TECT:
Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 2 in the Amount of $121,950.80 to City Secretary Contract No.
38775, an Engineering Agreement with Kennedy Consulting, Ltd., for the Design of Dirks Road from Bryant
Irvin Road to Granbury Road for a Total Contract Amount of $1,608,483.85 (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 3 and
6)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of Amendment No. 2 in the amount of
$121,950.80 to City Secretary Contract No. 38775 with Kennedy Consulting, Ltd., for design of Dirks Road
from Bryant Irvin Road to Granbury Road, thereby revising the total contract cost to $1,608,483.85.
DISCUSSION:
This Project is for the construction of Dirks Road as a six lane divided principal arterial from Bryant Irvin
Road to Granbury Road. Phase I of the Project is already under construction. This Amendment applies to the
design for Phase II as well as services needed during its construction.
The proposed Amendment is for the professional services necessary to change the construction plans to the
format required by the Texas Department of Transportation, provide design and construction services for
changes to the associated railroad bridge and affected track sections to provide proper underpass clearance
and to modify environmental documents based upon comments received from the United States Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) including changes to the drainage outfall channel design. These changes will increase
the land area subject to environmental impact review resulting in the need for further study and a
re —submittal to the USACE.
