2.3. Map Book
• The ENGINEER will prepare a map book as part of the force main and gravity main
alignment study.
2.4. Strip Map
• After the route is selected and the survey is complete, the ENGINEER will prepare
a strip map of the force main and gravity main alignment. The strip map will show
proposed easements needed for the pipelines. The ENGINEER will meet with the
CITY to review the strip map before proceeding with the Preliminary Design.
2.5 Environmental Permitting Evaluation
The ENGINEER will perform an Environmental Permitting Evaluation for this PROJECT to
include the following tasks:
Gather and Review Existing Information — compile readily available existing
information and prepare maps of the proposed project area in preparation for a
pedestrian survey. The types of information that will be gathered will include, but
is not limited to, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic maps,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps,
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soils maps, as well as recent
and historical aerial photographs of the proposed project area.
• Pedestrian Survey — conduct a site visit of the proposed lift station site and a
pedestrian survey along the proposed force main and gravity main alignments and
alternate alignments to make observations of existing environmental conditions,
identify types and locations of potential waters of the U.S., and assess the site for
potential habitat for federally listed threatened and endangered species.
Coordinate with the Texas Historical Commission — Projects sponsored by public
entities that affect a cumulative area greater than five acres or that disturb more
than 5,000 cubic yards require advance consultation with the Texas Historical
Commission (THC) according to Section 191.0525 (d) of the Antiquities Code of
Texas. Because the proposed project is expected to exceed one, or both, of these
thresholds, coordination with THC is expected to be required. Potential impacts to
waters of the U.S. would also trigger National Historic Preservation Act Section
106 consultation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) via Nationwide
Permit (NWP) General Condition 20 (Historic Properties). FNI will draft a
consultation letter to the THC for the City's review and comment. FNI will
incorporate the City's comments and submit the consultation letter to the THC for
their review.
Prepare Nationwide Permit 58 Preconstruction Notification — Due to the potential
presence of waters of the U.S. and potential habitat for a species proposed for
listing as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, FNI assumes that
Preconstruction Notification (PCN) will be required for Clean Water Act Section
404 project authorization under NWP 58 (Utility Line Activities for Water and Other
Substances). FNI will draft an NWP 58 PCN and submit the document to the City
for review. Comments from the City will be incorporated into the document and FNI
will submit the final PCN to the USACE for their review.

• Coordination with Design Team — FNI scientists will coordinate with and advise the
design team to ensure the project design meets the terms and conditions of NWP
58 and make recommendations to limit exceptions and notifications that may
adversely affect the design and construction timeline.
Conduct Cultural Resources Survey — FNI will acquire the services of a
professional archeological firm to conduct a Phase I cultural resources survey of
the proposed project area, if required by the THC. Certain areas of the proposed
force main and gravity main alignments will potentially be excluded from the survey
due to previous disturbances along the proposed alignments, such as underground
utility construction.
Conduct Tree Survey — FNI will conduct a tree survey within the proposed lift
station site and along the proposed alignment. The tree survey will be done in
accordance with the City of Fort Worth's tree ordinance requirements.
Prepare Urban Forestry Permit Application — FNI will work with the design team to
overlay the tree survey data on the design plans and develop a spreadsheet of the
tree data collected. FNI will prepare the urban forestry permit application for
submittal to the City's arborist and address one round of comments from the City's
arborist. This scope also includes a site visit with the City's arborist to discuss the
findings of the tree survey.
2.6 Geotechnical Investigation
This geotechnical scope of work for the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity
Main consists of the following:
Lift Station, Ground Storaae Tank and Junction Box:

DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the preparation of plans and specifications
for the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Main project.
Due to continued growth on the east side of Eagle Mountain Lake, it is necessary to prepare plans and
specifications for the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main
The proposed scope of work consists of an 11.5 million gallon lift station along with a force main along
Morris Dido Newark Road (FM 1220) to a sewer gravity main. Two existing force mains, one serving the
Eagle Mountain Elementary School and the other serving Live Oak Road will be connected to the
proposed gravity sewer main.
Freese and Nichols, Inc. proposes to provide the necessary design services for the lift station, force main,
and gravity main for a fee of $1,143,312.00. Staff considers the proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for
the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $930,763.00 is required for project management, utility coordination,
real property acquisition and material testing.
In April 2022, the Water Department, Capital Delivery Division, requested qualifications "RFQ" from
interested and qualified engineering consulting firms (or other qualified firms) to perform engineering,
design, permitting and professional services necessary for the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main and
Gravity Main Project. Six consulting firms submitted Statements of Qualifications ("SOQ") in response to
the City's RFQ. An evaluation team consisting of Water Department staff reviewed and scored the SOQ's
based on specific qualifications of key personnel to be assigned to the project, specific technical
capabilities of the firm related to the project, firm's prior experience on similar projects, identification and
qualifications of sub -contractors to be utilized on the project and ability to fulfill the City's Business Equity
goal on the project. After evaluating all the submitted SOQ's, Freese and Nichols, Inc. was selected as the
most qualified consultant to provide design services for this project.
This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water & Sewer Fund.
Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation
authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used to provide interim
financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated with this project is sold, bond proceeds
will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the
attached reimbursement resolution. Under federal law, debt must be issued within approximately three
years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not
obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt
bond proceeds.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its CIP plan throughout the fiscal year, instead of
within the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and
to comply with bond covenants. The actions in the M&C will appropriate funds in support of the Water's
portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program, as follows:
Funding will be available after the sale of Water and Sewer bonds is completed in the UCMLPR project
within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the Bonds Ranch LS(A)/FM/GM project.
