3. Wetlands delineations and Section 404 permitting through the US Army Corps of Engineers.
4. Structural design of retaining walls.
5. Design of franchise utilities (gas, electric, telephone and cable TV) will be conducted by the
franchise utility companies. Usually, each franchise utility company will provide its own design If
desired, Dunaway will show the conduit for each of these on our drawings provided that the size
number and material for each conduit is provided to Dunaway by the utility company.
6. Redesign efforts related to site plan or building footprint changes after significant design efforts
have begun are not included.
7. Boundary surveys and as -built surveys and/or easements by separate instrument.
8. Soil Investigation/Laboratory Testing: Dunaway recommends that City of Fort Worth retain an
independent laboratory for use in any testing required during the design phase, i.e for density
approval in the street rights -of -way, and for any site excavation and embankment that might be
required for this project.
9. Construction inspection services are not included Dunaway does not provide construction
inspection services. Normally, we recommend that City of Fort Worth retain a geotechnical
engineering consultant to provide construction inspection services for private improvements.
If this proposal meets with your approval, please sign below and return one copy to our office as our
notice to proceed. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this project and look forward to its
success.
