TASK 2. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN (30 PERCENT).
The Conceptual Design shall be submitted to CITY per the approved Project Schedule.
The purpose of the conceptual design is for the ENGINEER to identify, develop,
communicate through the defined deliverables, and recommend the design concept that
successfully addresses the design problem, and to obtain the CITY's endorsement of this
concept ENGINEER will utilize concepts and criteria contained in the current CITY — iSWM
Criteria Manual for Site Development and Construction for conceptual planning and design.
ENGINEER will develop the conceptual design of the infrastructure as follows.
2.1. Data Collection
• In addition to data obtained from the CITY, ENGINEER will research and make
efforts to obtain pertinent information to aid in coordination of the proposed
improvements with any planned future improvements that may influence the
project ENGINEER will also identify and seek to obtain data for existing
conditions that may impact the project including; utilities, agencies (such as
TxDOT and railroads), CITY Master Plans, CITY drainage complaint files,
existing applicable drainage studies, FEMA floodplain and floodway maps,
existing models of project area (if any) and property ownership as available from
the Tax Assessor s office.
2.2. Drainage Computations
• ENGINEER will delineate the watershed based on contour data and field
verification and document existing street, right-of-way and storm drain capacities
for the subject site. A drainage area map will be drawn at maximum 1" = 200'
scale from available 2-foot contour data with the contours labeled. Data source
and year will be provided by the CITY Calculations regarding street and right-of-
way capacities and design discharges (5-year and 100-year frequencies) at
selected critical locations will be provided. Other frequencies as required by
iSWM criteria may be appropriate for outfalls and sensitive locations. Capacities
of existing storm drain will be calculated and shown. All calculations shall
conform to CITY criteria delineated in the current CITY iSWM Criteria Manual for
Site Development and Construction. All locations in the project area where 100-
year runoff exceeds available storm drain and right-of-way capacities shall be
clearly identified. The ENGINEER's responsibility includes recommendations for
improvements of the existing system as deemed reasonable and consistent with
CITY standards.
