TONY'S CREEK (STREAM MC -1) OPEN CHANNEL STUDY
STUDY NO. SWS -037
SCOPE OF WORK
Preface
The purpose of this open channel study is to assess the existing conditions to develop a
master plan of improvements as needed. The existing conditions analysis includes
detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to determine probable flooding areas during
exceedance storms and a comparison of results to existing studies. The revision or
development of a master plan of improvements for the study area will include a set of
conceptual improvement alternatives to minimize flood impacts to homes and buildings.
This study will require the submittal of a LOMR to FEMA since the new detention basin
and the resultant flood analysis will be significantly different from the current flood
insurance study delineation and base flood elevations.

TONY'S CREEK (STREAM MC -1) OPEN CHANNEL STUDY
Project Summary
a. Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study is to
1. Develop detailed hydrologic model of the entire watershed drained by Tony's
Creek (Stream MC -1) using NRCS method
a. Calculation and verification of the detention effect on existing and fully
developed flows from the existing Tony's Creek detention basin
2. Hydraulics
a. Develop detailed steady state hydraulic model of the entire reach of
Stream MC -1 from Marine Creek to 36th Street.
b. A parallel hydraulic model will be developed using two- dimensional hydro-
dynamic modeling (with Wallingford's Infoworks CS 2D Module) along the
basin overflow areas (from the detention basin) located between the
Stockyards Boulevard and the Marine Creek confluence
3. Develop a master plan for improvements necessary to protect homes and
businesses and prevent roadway flooding during the 100 -year storm.
Alternatives for channel improvements, detention, and buy -outs should be
considered as appropriate
4. Submission of a LOMR to FEMA reflecting map modifications based on the
proposed study of the existing conditions.
5. Scoping for any recommended minor projects, such as localized erosion repair
along the creek
The ENGINEER's services and products resulting from this study shall be referred to as
"Tony's Creek Open Channel Study ". The ENGINEER shall perform the project
services in accord with (1) the Federal Emergency Management Agency floodplain
modeling and mapping specifications and guidelines, (2) the City of Fort Worth Storm
Water Management Design Manual, and (3) specific requirements and technical
guidelines in this scope document. The City of Fort Worth Storm Water Management
Design Manual shall be the prevailing document.
b. Pertinent Data
The Tony's Creek (FEMA Stream MC -1) flows from 36th Street in a southerly direction
for about 1.9 miles and merges into Marine Creek (City of Fort Worth Council District 2;
Mapsco 48Y -62G). The Flood Insurance Rate Map (Map Number 48439CO290 J)
showing the special flood hazard areas, was last revised on August 23, 2000. This
FEMA effective model of Stream MC -1 does not reflect the Tony's Creek detention
basin.

water marks (if available), and zoning maps. Historical rainfall data and the as -built
drawings of the hydraulic structures may be available from the City. The ENGINEER
shall submit a written request to FEMA for all relevant available data from the effective
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) including but not limited to: LOMRs, hydrologic and
hydraulic data, reports, working maps, etc. The City shall determine the extent of the
study along the stream.
The ENGINEER shall use the City - provided watershed description, stream centerline,
and 2007 terrain surface as part of the base data for modeling and mapping. If
necessary, the ENGINEER may modify the stream centerline alignment during Tasks 3
and 4 according to topography, 2007 aerial imagery, or new survey data. Any errors
identified or revisions made to the City's stream centerline and watershed boundary
datasets shall be reported and discussed with the City's Project Manager.
The ENGINEER will review and identify known flooding and drainage issues referred to
as "hot spots" within the study area. The City will provide available drainage complaint
reports to the ENGINEER. The identified "hot spots" shall be compiled into a GIS
geodatabase.
The City of Fort Worth's Storm Water Management Division shall assist the ENGINEER
in locating required data available from the City, but the ultimate responsibility for
identifying data needs and for finding, collecting, developing, analyzing, and creating all
necessary data shall reside with the ENGINEER. If required data is unavailable, the
ENGINEER shall inform the City in writing and discuss with the City's Project Manager
for actions or determination.
b. Field Reconnaissance
The ENGINEER shall perform field reconnaissance to become familiar with the main
stem and the appropriate tributaries, the hydraulic and hydrologic structures, land use,
vegetative cover conditions of the floodplain, and special features and problems within
the watershed. The ENGINEER is aware that not all natural channels are contained
within City easements therefore property owner permission must be obtained by the
ENGINEER to access private property. The ENGINEER shall document their
reconnaissance efforts findings with labeled digital photographs. Typical channel and
over -bank types shall be photographed and labeled with location and Manning "n" value
assumptions.
The ENGINEER shall document physical characteristics of the watershed relevant to
modeling, including but not limited to: specific features of all major detention ponds and
outlet discharge structures, vegetative and built structure conditions along the

Page 4 of 19
c. Stream Condition Assessment
The ENGINEER shall perform a stream condition assessment as a result of field
reconnaissance efforts and document the locations of observed erosive conditions,
channel stability issues, channel side -slope failure, failed channel protection, sediment
transport, and /or other observed failures. The ENGINEER may assign a rating of
"Excellent ", "Good ", "Fair ", or "Poor ". The ENGINEER shall document the stream
conditions assessment efforts with labeled digital photographs. The ENGINEER shall
populate a GIS geodatabase of identified areas of concern.
d. Field Surveys
All bridges, culverts, and critical stream cross - sections (having substantial change in
channel geometry and /or bed slope in contrast to upstream or downstream cross -
sections) should be surveyed. The field surveys shall include any headwalls and
outfalls along the channel. The maximum stream length distance between any two
surveyed cross - sections shall not exceed approximately 1,500 feet. The City's Project
Manager shall review the number of open channel cross - section and hydraulic structure
surveys prior to a final scope of work. [The ENGINEER is to include the number of
open channel cross - section and hydraulic structure surveys in the final scope.] The
ENGINEER shall follow the current version of FEMA Guidelines and Specifications for
Flood Hazard Mapping Partners Appendix N: Data Capture Guidelines to collect field
survey data for open sections, bridges, culverts, and dams.
Benchmarks shall be located and recorded for survey control. Available elevation
reference marks shall be located and recorded at surveyed hydraulic structures. If
elevation reference marks can not be located, they may be set at each surveyed
hydraulic structure as a chiseled mark in a headwall, wingwall, bridge deck, etc in a
manner suitable for future reference. The ENGINEER shall establish primary and
secondary control points for survey. Primary control points are typically iron rods that
are suitable for future reference. Secondary control points are set at each surveyed
cross - section and are intended to establish the primary control data at each cross -
section. Secondary control points are typically nails and are not intended to be
permanent. The current version of FEMA Guidelines and Specifications for Flood
Hazard Mapping Partners Appendix N: Data Capture Guidelines shall be used a guide
to setting elevation reference marks.
Field surveys of stream cross - sections shall be representative of the natural ground of
the channel and overbanks. Surveys of bridges, culvert, dams or other hydraulic
structures shall be representative of the hydraulic structure's geometry. A typical
ground cross - section shall be surveyed upstream of the structure. Measurements and
survey points defining the geometry of the hydraulic structures shall all be recorded in
field notes.
ATTACHMENT "A"
Page 5 of 19
Field survey notes shall represent graphically and clearly, in plan and profile view, what
was surveyed, photographed, and recorded. All of the sketches should depict the
upstream face of the structure as well as the direction of flow.
Digital photos shall be taken at each surveyed stream cross - section looking upstream
and looking downstream at the channel. Photos of the upstream and downstream faces
of the hydraulic structures shall be taken along with the upstream and downstream
channel. Wherever possible, the pictures should contain the entire face of the structure.
The ENGINEER will use the survey codes and format outlined in the FEMA Guidelines
and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners Appendix N: Data Capture
Guidelines for survey text files. The text files shall include point number, northing,
easting, elevation, and description. The ENGINEER shall submit the survey data as
text files and in a GIS shapefile format.
It is the responsibility of the ENGINEER to obtain property owner permission to perform
surveys outside of City easements. The ENGINEER shall notify the local property
owners that surveys and field reconnaissance will be conducted for a certain period
time.
e. Finished Floor Elevations
The ENGINEER shall determine the finished floor elevations and lowest adjacent
grades of buildings and residential homes within the current effective floodplain and

constructed regional ponds and other large residential and commercial ponds to be
modeled. The stage- storage- discharge (SSD) rating curve for these ponds used in the
model shall be verified as being accurate. If necessary, the SSD curves may be re-
developed. In all cases, the SSD rating curve shall be the same for both the hydrologic
and hydraulic models.
The existing land -use conditions data, the 2009 projected future (ultimate) development
land -use conditions data, topographic data (2007 ACS surface data), and the latest
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO)
database shall be used in the hydrologic model development.
c. Model Development
The ENGINEER shall coordinate watershed boundaries with other concurrent studies.
The subbasin size shall not exceed one -third of a square mile. Use of larger subbasins
shall be discussed with the City's Project Manager. Break points (junctions) may be set
ATTACHMENT "A"
Page 8 of 19
at certain locations if requested by City's Project Manager. The ENGINEER shall
conduct a "working session" with City staff to finalize watershed basin boundaries and
junctions.
If a conflict exists on a watershed boundary determination, it is usually the topographic
data, not the storm drain system, that determines the watershed boundaries. However,
if storm drain trunk lines or any other diversion /by -pass hydraulic structures exist in the
watershed and divert a significant amount of flow from one basin to another, those
hydraulic structures shall be modeled in the study.
The SCS unit hydrograph shall be utilized for developing the HMS model.
The TR -55 equations and curves for estimating the time of concentration for overland
(sheet) flow, shallow concentrated flow, and channel flow shall be used. Overland
(sheet) flow length shall be no more than 50 — 100 feet for urban land -use conditions.
The ENGINEER shall delineate and depict the longest flow path per subbasin and
include the length and time of concentration per segment.
The SCS curve number method shall be used for loss rate estimation. The ENGINEER
shall prepare a table of impervious cover percentages and curve numbers for various
land uses and soil conditions based on the City of Fort Worth Storm Water Management
Design Manual. The runoff curve numbers for open space and undeveloped areas shall
be based on the cover type and hydrologic condition of "Open Space, Good Condition."
The composite curve number for each subbasin shall be computed based on a
composite percentage of soil types.
For modeling the existing land -use conditions of a suburban watershed, the impervious
cover percentage shall be determined based on zoning districts. Impervious cover
percentages per zoning district are listed in Table 1.
The ENGINEER shall use the NCTCOG existing land -use spatial data and City 2007
aerial imagery to confirm that the current zoning districts have an accurate land use
assignment. It is the ENGINEER's responsibility to properly determine the impervious
cover percentage for sparsely located farmland houses which may or may not be
directly connected to a surface drainage system. The ENGINEER shall use the City
2009 comprehensive plan to determine the impervious cover percentage for ultimate
conditions for future growth and development. The composite impervious cover
percentage and soil -based composite runoff curve numbers for each subbasin shall be
summarized in a table of subbasin parameters.

d. Routing
The ENGINEER shall use the Modified Puls or the Muskingham -Cunge routing methods
to attenuate the runoff hydrograph. Other routing methods shall require the approval of
the City.
e. Depth -Area Analysis
Depth -Area Analysis (areal reduction) shall be used for watersheds with a drainage
area of 9.6 square miles or greater. If necessary, peak flow tables for each return
period and for both existing and future land -use conditions will be provided with peak
flows computed at all subbasin outlets and hydrologic junction points with areal
reduction for drainage areas (in square miles) of 0.0, 10, 20, 30, etc. up to the total

To estimate the 100 -year peak flow at the junction J130W, one may code a linear
interpolation formula in an Excel Spreadsheet to linearly interpolate the 100 -yr peak flow
at this junction location, e.g., Q(Jl30W)= 21350 +(15.767- 10)/(20- 10) *(20660-
21350) =20952 cfs.
f. Results
The model results shall be compared to available reliable recorded /historical rainfall -
runoff data, including historic storm events. If no reliable recorded /historical rainfall -
runoff data is available, the ENGINEER may run checks with other sources of data such
as the local /regional regression equations, Current Flood Insurance Study, or the
USGS's frequency -based 100 -year peak flow versus watershed drainage area curve for
similar watersheds. If significant differences are found, adjustments to the hydrologic
model may be required.
The ENGINEER shall prepare a table of peak flow rates for each of the return events
analyzed. The ENGINEER shall compare the peak flows from the new study to those of
the current effective (if available). The comparisons shall be summarized in the report.
The ENGINEER shall document the methodologies and assumptions for each subbasin,
details of calculating the time of concentration, subbasin and longest flow path
delineations, creek centerline, software, and data sources used, any significant changes
in flows between the old and new hydrologic models with an explanation of differences,
and a table containing peak flows at each subbasin, junction, and pond location with
areal reduction (if applicable), and any special technical issues and resolutions.

the 2 -, 5 -, 10 -, 25 -, 50 -, 100 -, and 500 -year floods together with all
supportive GIS and modeling data (including DSS files) for the HEC -HMS
models (current non -beta HEC -HMS version at time of delivery).

floodplains. The ENGINEER shall fully annotate the HEC -RAS model, including
descriptive comments in all relevant fields, and clearly label the flow data profiles with
respect to return period. Cross - sections or bridge /culvert structures that incorporate
survey data shall include the survey data source, date and hydraulic structure name in

ATTACHMENT "A"
Page 12 of 19
a. Model Development
The ENGINEER shall prepare the models to run under steady state conditions. The
ENGINEER will meet with the City's Project Manager to determine whether an unsteady
state model is warranted.
Surveyed bridges, culverts, and critical stream cross - sections (having substantial
change in channel geometry or slope) shall be incorporated into the HEC -RAS model.
Other non - critical stream cross - sections shall be cut from the City's topographic data (if
available) or the most accurate topographic data available. The cross - section layout
shall be set in a reasonable manner consistent with the respective DFIRM (if available)
taking into consideration hydraulics and floodplain mapping. As a general guideline,
spacing between any two cross - sections shall not exceed approximately 200 ft unless
directed by the City's Project Manager. The ENGINEER will conduct a "working
session" with the City staff to review cross - sectional cut -line locations and layout. The
ENGINEER will proceed with detailed hydraulics following City's review of the cross -
section cut -line layout or as directed by the City's Project Manager. The ENGINEER
shall discuss with the City's Project Manager whether channel invert interpolation
between surveyed cross - sections is required. Interpolated cross - sections shall be kept
to a minimum. If interpolated cross - sections are used in the development of the
models, each section shall be labeled and described in the model and identified on a
work map of the cross - section layout. The ENGINEER shall describe in the written the
report the purpose of the interpolated cross - sections. All cross - section stations and
reach lengths shall be rounded to the nearest foot.
The ENGINEER shall assign Manning's n- values to a specific channel or over -bank
area based on actual physical conditions using information from field reconnaissance,
aerial photos, and the City of Fort Worth Storm Water Management Design Manual n-
value reference tables. Composite n- values are recommended for the left overbank,
channel, and right overbank. Caution will be exercised not to over- or under - estimate
the "n" values. The composite "n" value in over bank flow areas shall be limited to 0.15.
For any "n" value exceeding 0.15, the ENGINEER shall inform and discuss with the
City's Project Manager for a final decision. It is recommended that the ENGINEER use
the HEC -RAS functions of "blocked obstruction" and "ineffective flow area" whenever to
enhance the model.
The ENGINEER shall recreate or confirm the limits of the floodway. A floodway will not
be evaluated or created for study areas that do not have an existing floodway.
b. Flow Data
Peak flows computed from a hydrologic model with proper areal reduction (if applicable)
shall be put into the hydraulic model as close as possible in terms of location, e.g.,
subbasin junction location in HEC -HMS versus cross - section location in HEC -RAS. A
table showing the HEC -RAS cross - section flow change locations and the corresponding
ATTACHMENT "A"
Page 13 of 19
HEC -HMS junction name shall be provided. The peak flow shall be the same in both
models. In the case that a creek or channel runs through a subbasin in a hydrologic
model (see an example attached below), the additional outflow from the subbasin shall
be proportionally inserted in one of the following two methods: (Method 1) at 1/3 or at
2/3 of the channel segment within the subbasin, or (Method 2) approximately at middle
of the channel segment (Figure 1).
Ngure 1. HOW Uhange Locations

additional flow between hydrologic analysis points, the ENGINEER shall inform and
discuss with the City's Project Manager flow change locations.
c. Results

checked against known high water marks. The model results shall also be compared to
known flooding events. If significant differences are found, adjustments to the hydraulic
model may be required.

TONY'S CREEK (STREAM MC -1) OPEN CHANNEL STUDY
STUDY NO. SWS -037
AMENDMENTS TO THE STANDARD SCOPE OF SERVICES, ATTACHMENT "A"
a. Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study is to
2. Hydraulics
a. Incorporate field surveyed cross sections to develop a detailed steady
state hydraulic HEC -RAS model of the entire reach of Stream MC -1 from
Marine Creek up to 36th Street.
b. Import the HEC -RAS model to develop an integrated two - dimensional
hydro- dynamic model (with Innovyze's Infoworks ICM 2D Module),
incorporating the City's Infoworks SD model of the Long Avenue culvert
and the latest Washington Heights Infoworks SD model, along with the
basin overflow areas (from the detention basin) located between the
Stockyards Boulevard and the Marine Creek confluence.
c. Based on the results of the Infoworks ICM 2D model, lay out cross
sections along the basin overland flow areas in the HEC -RAS model.
b. Pertinent Data
The Flood Insurance Rate Map (Map Number 48439C0190K) showing the special flood
hazard areas, was last revised on September 25, 2009.
Task 1: Project Management
The ENGINEER shall attend one public meeting to present what possible mitigation
alternatives are being explored.
Task 2: Data Search, Collection, Field Reconnaissance, Stream Condition
Assessment, and Surveys
2.a. Dataset Search and Collection
The ENGINEER shall use the 2009 aerial imagery and 2009 terrain surface in LAS
format, rather than the 2007 data.
2.d. Field Survey
The ENGINEER will survey 7 open channel cross - sections and 12 hydraulic structure
surveys, as shown in Attachment E of the final scope. The surveyor will use the survey
codes and format outlined in the FEMA Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard
Mapping Partners, Appendix N: Data Capture Guidelines for survey text files. It is the
ATTACHMENT "A -3"
Page 1 of 5
responsibility of the ENGINEER to obtain property owner permission to perform surveys
outside of City easements. The ENGINEER will prepare 34 Right -of -Entry letters
following City of Fort Worth standards.
Subtask 1. Survey of Channel Cross - Sections
Approximately seven (7) stream cross - sections will be obtained over the 2.17 -mile study
area. The maximum total length of each section is 250 feet or to the nearest property
fence line. All sections are shown in the attached Exhibit MC -1. This Exhibit provides
the surveyor with a sketch for details of the cross sections including common
nomenclature and locations of measurements.
The limits of ground -based survey for sub -task 1 extend from 36th Street at the
upstream end to the downstream end at the confluence with Marine Creek.
Subtask 2: Survey of Culverts, Bridges, Dams and Other Structures
Approximately twelve (12) culverts, bridges and other structures such as headwalls and
outfalls (as shown in Attachment E) will be surveyed. Detailed hand drawn sketches of
each culvert face will also be created for HDR. All structures surveyed will include
dimensions and location, flowline elevations (both ends), top of structure elevation (one
shot at the upstream end), photographs and hand drawn sketches. The following is the
list of hydraulic structures to be surveyed:
Subtask 3: Detailed Ground Based Survey for 2- Dimensional Modeling
For the two overflow areas indicated by the orange hatch areas in Attachment E,
ENGINEER will perform field surveys to collect horizontal and vertical elevations and
other information needed by ENGINEER sufficient to design and prepare plans and
specifications. Information gathered during the survey shall include detailed topographic
data, observable grade breaks, concrete curbs, perimeters of any residential or
commercial buildings, utilities as required by the SUE, structures, retaining walls, trees,

Subtask 3: Detailed Ground Based Survey for 2- Dimensional Modeling
For the two overflow areas indicated by the orange hatch areas in Attachment E,
ENGINEER will perform field surveys to collect horizontal and vertical elevations and
other information needed by ENGINEER sufficient to design and prepare plans and
specifications. Information gathered during the survey shall include detailed topographic
data, observable grade breaks, concrete curbs, perimeters of any residential or
commercial buildings, utilities as required by the SUE, structures, retaining walls, trees,
ATTACHMENT "A -Y
Page 2 of 5
and other features typically shown on the final plan sheets. Particular attention will be
paid to existing drainage patterns at intersections, including curb locations and heights.
Spot elevations will be shown on intersection layouts with cross slope to fit intersecting
grade lines.
2.e. Finished Floor Elevations
The ENGINEER shall determine perform a field survey to obtain the finished floor
elevations and lowest adjacent grades of buildings and residential homes at 28 selected
locations within the current effective floodplain and anticipated revised areas, as shown
in Attachment E. These are commercial and residential buildings that will need right -of-
entry permits. Finished floor elevations shall be a separate budget item from the field
surveys.
Task 3: Development of Detailed Hydrologic Models
Detention calculations
The hydrology tasks will also include detention routing modeling using conventional
methods within the HEC -HMS model for the regional detention basin downstream of
28th Street and the on- channel pond upstream of Terminal Road. The latest available
topography along with the ground based survey will be used to develop a current stage -
discharge relationship curve. These tasks will reflect the detention effects of the
existing basin configurations and the resulting flows will be applied to the hydraulic
modeling in HEC -RAS and Infoworks ICM 2D Model per Task 4 below.
Task 4: Development of Hydraulic Models and Floodplain Maps
The ENGINEER will use the latest HEC -RAS model and InfoWorks ICM software to
develop hydraulic models for the study.
4.a: Model Development
The ENGINEER shall prepare an initial HEC - GeoRAS model of the open channel
portions of Tony's Creek to run under steady state conditions. Surveyed bridges,
culverts, and critical stream cross - sections (having substantial change in channel
geometry or slope) shall be incorporated into the HEC - GeoRAS model.
Once the initial HEC -RAS model is complete, the ENGINEER shall import the HEC -
RAS model into InfoWorks ICM to start the development of the Tony's Creek ICM
model. The Engineer shall incorporate the City's existing InfoWorks SD model of the
double Tx4' box culvert from 34th Street to 32nd Street, as well as the latest available
InfoWorks SD model of the Washington Heights storm drain system. ENGINEER shall
utilize the 2D module for the two overflow areas, based on the detailed survey
information obtained in Task 2.d above.
Based on the results on the InfoWorks ICM 2D model, the ENGINEER shall lay out the
appropriate cross sections to model the two overflow areas in HEC -RAS, resulting in a
single HEC -RAS model from Marine Creek up to 36th Street.
ATTACHMENT "A -3"
Page 3 of 5
In addition to the standard deliverables, also include one digital copy of the final
InfoWorks ICM model of existing conditions.
Task 5: Proposed Flood Mitigation Alternative Analysis
The ENGINEER shall assess the conditions of the study area and revise or develop a
master plan of proposed improvements and flood hazard mitigation. HDR will
recommend a maximum of 2 alternatives once Task 5 is complete. Example
alternatives could be acquisition of houses within the flood plain or widening of the
channel area.
In addition to the standard deliverables, also include one digital copy of the final
InfoWorks ICM model of proposed conditions.
Task 7: Letter of Map Revision Application and Support
The ENGINEER shall prepare a LOMR application package with complete supporting
documentation. Following the City's review and approval, the ENGINEER shall
represent the City to submit the LOMR application to FEMA. The ENGINEER will
provide the City two copies of the final LOMR application package. The City will be
responsible for the payment of FEMA's LOMR review and processing fees. The LOMR
application typically includes the following forms although others may be required for the
floodplain restudy:

HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of an Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., in the Amount of
$320,556.00 for the Tony's Creek Open Channel Study (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an Agreement with HDR Engineering,
Inc., in the amount of $320,556.00 for the Tony's Creek Open Channel Study.
DISCUSSION:
The study recommended by this M &C will evaluate flood mitigation alternatives for the purpose of
removing buildings from the floodplain of Tony's Creek in the Stockyards area of Fort Worth. There
are 28 structures in the Tony's Creek floodplain. This study will also include the development of a
comprehensive model and map of the floodplain. This data has not been updated since the last
Flood Insurance Study in 1986.
HDR Engineering, Inc., was one of 23 firms determined to be qualified for this project through a
general Request for Qualifications (RFQ) selection process. HDR Engineering, Inc., proposes to
perform this study for a lump -sum fee of $320,556.00. City Staff considers this fee to be fair and
reasonable for the scope of services proposed, based on the size of the watershed and length of the
stream. The Stormwater Utility Fund will be used to fund this study.
HDR Engineering, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 20
percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal for this project is 20 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATIONICERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the Stormwater Utility Fund.
