subsurface investigations in connection with design and engineering
work to be performed hereunder. The ENGINEER shall also advise
the CITY concerning the results of same. Such surveys, tests, and
investigations shall be furnished by the CITY, unless otherwise
specified in Attachment A.
(2) In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations,

observations, exploration, and investigations have been made.
Because of the inherent uncertainties in subsurface evaluations,
changed or unanticipated underground conditions may occur that
could affect the total PROJECT cost and/or execution. These
conditions and cost/execution effects are not the responsibility of the
ENGINEER.

belong to the CITY and/or the CITY's construction contractors or other
entities, and do not relieve the construction contractors or any other entity of
their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all
construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures
necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction
work in accordance with the Contract Documents and any health or safety

progress or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine,
in general, if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner
indicating that the PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with
the Contract Documents, nor shall anything in the Contract Documents or
this AGREEMENT between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring
ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to

observation(s) of a deviation from the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER
shall inform the CITY.

economic feasibility, or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's
opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments

City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 03/02/21 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 21-0150
LOG NAME: 20SWM WESTCREEK CHANNELREHAB DESIGN
SUBJECT
(CD 6) Authorize Execution of a Contract with Alan Plummer and Associates, Inc. d/b/a Plummer
Associates, Inc. in the Amount of$375,470.00 for the Design of the Westcreek Channel
Rehabilitation Project
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of a contract with Alan Plummer and
Associates, Inc. d/b/a Plummer Associates, Inc. in the amount of$375,470.00 for the design of the
Westcreek Channel Rehabilitation project (City Project No. 103060).
DISCUSSION:
The engineering agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will
provide for engineering services related to the Westcreek Channel Rehabilitation project. This
project will restore the damaged concrete channel and the streambed.
In May 2018, the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), Stormwater Management
Division, published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various technical services associated
with drainage engineering. Based on the results of the RFQ, Plummer Associates, Inc. (Plummer)
was selected as the most qualified consultant to provide engineering services for the Westcreek
Channel Rehabilitation project. Plummer will analyze and evaluate the failure of Westcreek Channel
between Westcreek Drive and the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe Railroad, and design
channel improvements to mitigate the failure of the concrete-lined channel slopes and stabilize the
streambed scour. The channel improvements will restore the structural integrity of the channel
slopes and prevent further deterioration/movement to protect adjacent properties and ensure the
channel continues to effectively convey stormwater away from area homes and businesses.
Plummer will evaluate environmental and floodplain requirements and assist staff in obtaining any
required permits. Additionally, Plummer will prepare plans and specifications for construction and
provide services during bidding and construction. Plummer proposes to perform engineering
services for a fee not to exceed $375,470.00. Staff considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for
the scope of services proposed.
M/WBE Office — Plummer Associates, Inc. is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by
committing to 15% SBE participation on this project. The City's SBE goal on this project is 10%.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously
appropriated, in the Storm Water Rev Ref Bonds 2020 Fund for the Westcreek Channel Rehab
project to support the approval of the above recommendation and award of the contract. Prior to
any expenditure being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works Department has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
