Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., for a Drainage
Study for the Meacham Boulevard/Mark IV Parkway Drainage Improvements (Project No. 00666);
Transfer of Funds and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $80,541.00 from the Storm Water Utility Fund to the Storm Water Capital
Projects Fund;

Storm Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $80,541.00; and

amount of $68,855.00 for a drainage study for the Meacham Boulevard Mark IV Parkway Drainage
Improvements.
DISCUSSION:
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.
This agreement provides for the preparation of an hydrologic and hydraulic study to determine the
necessary drainage improvements to convey the 100-year storm event beyond a sump location on
Meacham Boulevard, thereby eliminating flooding on the roadway.
Freese and Nichols, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary engineering services for a lump sum fee of
$68,855.00. City Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $11,686.00 is required for project management by the Engineering
Department.
M/WBE -Freese and Nichols, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 22
percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 15 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 49P.
