services, in the amount of $456,150.00, for the Trinity River Vision -Central City Flood Control Drainage projects;

Viola project by $97,800.00 (City Project Nos. 103260, 103261, 103262, 103263, 103264) for a total increased amount of $456,150.00 and
by decreasing receipts and appropriations in the Lebow Channel Flood Mitigation project (City Project No. 103061) by the same amount;

DISCUSSION:
The professional services agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will provide for services related to the
relocation of City drainage infrastructure for the Trinity River Vision (TRV) - Central City Flood Control Drainage projects. The construction of the
north and south bypass channels by the Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the TRV Central City Flood Control projects will displace existing City
drainage infrastructure and require it to be relocated. While the Corps awaits federal funding for the project, multiple City departments are funding
critical path elements with the expectation that expenditures will be reimbursed in the future.
This professional services agreement will include capital project management services during stormwater infrastructure design and bid phases for
the following TRV Central City Flood Control Drainage projects:
• 5th Street/Greenleaf Sump (City Project No. 103260)
• Bazaar Outfall (City Project No. 103261)
• Main Street Outfall (City Project No. 103262)
• University Drive (City Project No. 103263)
• Viola (City Project No. 103264)
In May 2018, the Stormwater Management Division published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various technical services associated with
drainage engineering, including capital project management. Shield Engineering Group, PLLC was selected as the most qualified consultant for
this project management service. The above listed services are expected to take approximately 21 months to complete. Staff considers the fee to
be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
Funding will be re -appropriated on an interim basis from the Lebow Flood Mitigation project (City Project No. 103061) to the TRV Central City
Flood Control Drainage projects to ensure the work to relocate City drainage infrastructure does not delay the construction of the bypass channel.
Stormwater bond proceeds will be utilized for project management of the design of the relocated/replacement drainage infrastructure, which is
within the authorized purposes of those bonds (Ordinance 24453-09-2020). Future reimbursement received for drainage infrastructure
relocation expenditures would be returned to the Stormwater capital program.
Funding for these projects was not included in the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) because the need had not been identified at
the time the CIP was developed. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection
with Ordinance 24446-09-2020.
