Associates dated 1/12/82 that were provided to us by the City of Fort Worth. This task includes
verification of plan dimensions, layout, and existing electrical routing Verification will be of a non-
destructive method and be possible for readily visible areas. Construction that is located with in the
concrete structure or underground, such as electrical routing, will be determined via engineering
judgment. Verification will only occur for areas where construction work will be performed and is
limited to curb cuts and other critical ground floor dimensions.
TASK 2 - Professional Engineering Design Services
Professional architectural and engineering design services will be provided to execute the civil,
architectural, and electrical proposed changes.
Civil — Civil modifications are to include the following:
