Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the work to be performed and address the needs of the Project. Under this scope,"ENGINEER"is expanded to include any sub-consultant,including surveyor,employed or contracted by the ENGINEER. Given the complex nature of drainage and the variation in causes and proposed solutions for Channel Rehabilitation Projects located throughout the City of Fort Worth,both the CITY and the ENGINEER perceive the need to identify and dedicate funding to prioritization and development of mitigation projects. Therefore,to maximize the full potential of the"Project Development"phase,the CITY and the ENGINEER will conduct evaluation and vetting of those projects deemed to be highest priority,before the projects are transferred to implementation in the capital improvements program,thereby identifying potential risks and mitigation strategies,to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the final design,bid,and construction phases of a given channel rehabilitation project. This contract will remain in effect until the work is completed or the contract funds are expended. The CITY,at its sole discretion,may renew this contract under the same terms and conditions up to two times. In no event shall a term of the contract exceed 5 years from its effective date. OBJECTIVE This Primary Agreement serves to describe the general services required for the City's Channel Rehabilitation Project Development Program(CRPDP). The Work To Be Performed includes overall tasks to serve the CRPDP Program and individual Site Specific tasks for each channel rehabilitation project. The ENGINEER will develop a Risk Register to define potential considerations unique to each site. The ENGINEER will use the Risk Register as guidance in providing a concept-level design at each identified location in the program. The concept level design will include preliminary construction plans to approximately 30%level design and a sealed Conceptual Engineering Report describing the limits of proposed construction and design considerations unique to the site,including a Risk Analysis report from the Risk Register.While additional site locations may be added throughout the course of the project,Initial Site locations include the following: Because of the variety of tasks that may be performed for each identified location,the Scope of Work,Deliverables, Compensation and Schedule are to be negotiated for each individual Task Oder independently.

CFW Standard Insurance Requirements Page 3 of 3 Rev. 5.04.21 Channel Rehabilitation City Project No. 103069 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE: Tuesday, August 10, 2021 REFERENCE NO.: **M&C 21-0554 LOG NAME: 20SWM WPM DRAINAGE CHANNEL REHABILITATION SUBJECT: (ALL)Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc. in the Amount Up to $957,800.00 for Project Development Services for the Channel Restoration Programmable Project, Adopt Attached Appropriation Ordinances and Amend the Fiscal Years 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize execution of a engineering agreement with Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc. up to the Amount of$957,800.00 for Project Development Services for the Channel Rehabilitation Programmable Project (City Project Number 103069), which may be renewed up to two times; 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Stormwater Utility Fund in the amount of$700,000.00, from available funds, for the purpose of transferring to the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund and reducing net position by the same amount; 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$700,000.00, transferred from available funds in the Stormwater Utility Fund, for the purpose of funding the Channel Restoration Programmable Project(P00136); and 4. Amend the Fiscal Years 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The engineering agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)will provide for task-ordered engineering and project development services for the Drainage Channel Rehabilitation program. The agreement will develop effective, affordable and acceptable channel rehabilitation projects to be implemented as a part of the Stormwater Capital Improvement Program. The purpose of these high priority channel rehabilitation projects is to restore channels to protect adjacent private property, public infrastructure, and existing utilities from flooding and/or channel erosion. The 2020 Stormwater Revenue Bond and surplus cash above the reserve requirement in the Stormwater Utility Fund will fund this engineering agreement. In May 2018, the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), Stormwater Management Division, published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)for various engineering services. Based on the results of the RFQ, Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc. (WPM)was selected as the most qualified consultant for this project and proposes to perform design and engineering services for a fee up to the amount of $957,800.00. The services provided will include feasibility analysis, environmental permitting investigation and schematic design for critical channel infrastructure experiencing severe erosion. This project will identify risks associated with implementing channel rehabilitation projects and develop scope, schedule and budgets of individual projects to be implemented. The engineer will also prepare a unit price bid package so that an on-call contractor can be used to implement channel restoration projects on a more rapid schedule. Staff considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed. The City, at its sole option, may renew this contract under the same terms and conditions up to two times. The contract duration will not exceed five years. Stormwater revenue bond funds in the amount of$460,000.00 were originally programmed for project development. Surplus cash of$497,800.00 is needed to supplement the existing $460,000.00 http://apps.cfwnet.org/ecouncil/printmc.asp?id=29102&print=true&DocType=Print 8/27/2021 appropriated for project development to address additional high priority locations in need of channel restoration through the WMP contract. The balance of the $700,000.00 of surplus funds being allocated by this M&C is needed to begin small jump start design contracts with separate consultants that overlap with project development to ensure no gap in the delivery schedule and for project administrative services related to the jump start contracts. Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) because the prioritized locations were not finalized until after the CIP was approved so the amount needed for high priority project development and jump start efforts was unknown. This action in this M&C will amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 24446-09-2020. Business Equity: Walter P. Moore and Associates Inc. is in compliance with the City"s Business Equity Ordinance by committing to 15\% Business Equity participation on this project. The City"s Business Equity goal on this project is 15\%. This project is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Stormwater Utility Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund for the Total Channel Restoration Bond programmable project. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
