SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with James DeOtte Engineering, Inc., for the
Rolling Hills Addition Drainage Improvements Project (No. 00704) and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:

in the amount of $41,840.00 for the Rolling-Hills Addition Drainage Improvements Project;
2. Authorize the transfer of $48,116.00 from the Storm Water Utility Fund to the Storm Water Capital
Projects Fund; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the

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.
The Rolling Hills Addition has experienced several drainage problems causing home flooding due to
undersized storm drainage system and to the layout of the sheets parallel to the hillside contour.
The scope of work for this project includes a drainage study that will provide recommendation for the
necessary drainage improvements in this area.
James DeOtte Engineering, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary work for a lump sum fee of
$41,840.00. City Staff considers this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $6,276.00 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.
M/WBE -James DeOtte Engineering, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by
committing to 16 percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 15 percent.
