SWS-050
Preface
In an on -going effort to better serve its citizens, the City of Fort Worth (CITY) has begun
the initiative of identifying, quantifying, and mitigating local neighborhood flooding
issues. The City of Fort Worth Stormwater Program (PROGRAM) is implementing this
assessment through the use of various studies and design projects Historically these
issues have been addressed on a somewhat isolated basis by fixing individual pieces of
a system The purpose of these feasibility studies is to assess these issues in a more
holistic fashion. By analyzing the system in its entirety, the City can more efficiently
address the cause of flooding By performing these studies in a methodical and
organized manor the City can prioritize areas of potential flooding by severity as well as
systematically assess the entire city. The result is a program that the City can rely on to
produce functional, constructible projects that provide real and tangible benefits to the
citizens of Fort Worth. These studies should be approached as if they were a
"preliminary' or "conceptual' design project. It is the intent that these studies will flesh
out potential barriers to construction such as utility conflicts, right-of-way requirements,
excessive construction cost, and future pending development, to the extent that
recommended projects are known to be feasible, affordable, and possible for
construction. These studies should stop short of providing the necessary design plans
for construction. The proposed solutions provided by these studies will be extracted on
a prioritized basis and allocated to appropriate personnel in the Capital Improvement
division to become a separate design project. To assist with this effort the City has hired
a Program Management Team (PMT). The PMT will act as agents for the City to
facilitate related tasks for these studies.
Task Order Execution:
This is an IDIQ contract for Miscellaneous Drainage Studies. This contract will be
executed by multiple individual task orders. Task orders will be initiated by the City and
may include all or a portion of the items listed below. Prior to the execution of any task
orders the specific scope of services and associated fees will be provided to the city.
Objectives:
• Assess existing infrastructure to determine deficiencies and identify flood asks.
• Provide Recommendations to the City to significantly increase the level of service of
the drainage system in order to reduce risks and frequency of flooding in the Study
Area. Protection of all properties from flooding in the 5-year storm is the primary
minimum target.
• Recommendations shall be affordable, acceptable, and constructible.

and will recommend to the City only alternatives that are feasible for construction. This
plan may involve acquisition of property options. Performance of this task shall include:
• ENGINEER shall evaluate potential improvements to the drainage system
sufficient to meet current City of Fort Worth design criteria. In the event that a
complete solution is determined to be not feasible then the ENGINEER will
evaluate solutions that provide an improved level of service/level of protection
greater than the performance of the existing system.
• Planning Level Layout Plans — ENGINEER will produce conceptual layouts of the
concepts proposed in Task 5. Concepts will be for the mitigation strategies as
described in the objective of the study.
• Planning Level Cost Estimates — ENGINEER will identify planning level cost
estimates based upon the conceptual layout plans. The cost estimates should
focus on the major cost items, including property acquisition, utility relocation all
associated appurtenances, etc. The cost estimates shall have appropriate
contingencies as a conceptual, planning level exercise.
• Screening of Concepts — ENGINEER will perform an initial feasibility assessment
of each concept. This assessment shall be based upon the estimated cost,
potential benefit, and constructability. The consultant will present this
assessment to City/PMT to jointly decide on the elimination of certain concepts.
The ENGINEER will refine, revise, and potentially add concepts based upon the
work session with City staff.
• If all concepts are eliminated, the study will be concluded at this point.

1. Written summary of alternatives and mitigation strategies evaluated, including
list of affected properties.
2 Written summary of feasibility of alternatives and documented decisions
points leading to the elimination or recommendation of particular alternatives.
3. Rough conceptual layout plans:
Concept plans should include affected properties (data), mitigation strategy
features with post project inundation mapping or other model results
4. Planning level Opinion of Probable Costs:
The cost estimates will be refined to include more detail, although they should
still be considered planning level
5. Presentation of Alternatives - The concepts will be presented at a scale
necessary to illustrate to the City and to the public. Presentation will include
plan view and cross section, including architectural renderings that illustrate
how the features fit into the surrounding environment.
6. Power Point Presentation — The ENGINEER will develop a power point
presentation of the alternatives for presentation at a public meeting.
Task 6 Constructabilitv Reviews
The ENGINEER will perform a constructability review of each recommended mitigation
strategies. This review shall identify and assess implementation risks associated with
each alternative concept. The ENGINEER will consider cost and funding, coordination
with other agencies, coordination with other City construction projects, construction
disruption, right-of-way acquisition, community acceptance, utilities, and other items
necessary to consider implementation risk. If necessary the consultant will identify
areas of additional study required to mitigate uncertainty. The ENGINEER shall
coordinate a constructability review meeting with the City, PMT, and other affected City
departments (i.e. Streets, Water, Parks, etc.. ). The ENGINEER will make revisions to
the selected alternatives based on City/PMT input from this meeting.
Task 6 Deliverables:
• Written summary of items discussed and decisions made in this review meeting.
• Planning level estimate of construction schedule
Task 7: Water Quality Assessment
The ENGINEER shall perform an initial assessment of water quality impacts of any
