responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar with the 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 the agreement
between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring ENGINEER to make
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to discover latent defects in the
work or otherwise check the quality or quantity of the work on the PROJECT.
If, for any reason, the ENGINEER should make an on-site observation(s), on
the basis of such on-site observations, if any, the ENGINEER shall endeavor
to keep the CITY informed of any deviation from the Contract Documents
coming to the actual notice of ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT.

conditions; time or quality of performance by third parties; quality, type,
management, or direction of operating personnel; and other economic
and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate PROJECT
cost or schedule. Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty that the
CITY's actual PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or
schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses,
projections, or estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction
progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling and
observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such
recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations
have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction
contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract
Documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the
ENGINEER has made an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the construction contractor has used the moneys paid; that title to any of the
work, materials, or equipment has passed to the CITY free and clear of liens,
claims, security interests, or encumbrances; or that there are not other matters
at issue between the CITY and the construction contractor that affect the
amount that should be paid.

City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/12/2007 - Ordinance No. 17603-06-2007
DATE: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 REFERENCE NO.: **C-22178
LOG NAME: 30LINDALANE474
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Dannenbaum Engineering Corporation, for
Linda Lane Drainage Improvements, Dottie Lynn Parkway Culvert Improvements and Oakridge
Terrace Drainage Improvements (Project No. 00474) and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of$136,171 from the Storm Water Utility Fund to the Storm Water Capital Projects
Fund;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Storm Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$136,171; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with Dannenbaum Engineering
Corporation the amount of $97,138 for Linda Lane Drainage Improvements, Dottie Lynn Parkway Culvert
Improvements and Oakridge Terrace Drainage Improvements.
DISCUSSION:
The Storm Water Management Program was established to reduce flooding in Fort Worth, preserve
streams, minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water system in a more effective manner to fully
comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. This will be accomplished by infrastructure
reconstruction and system maintenance, master planning, enhanced development review, and increased
public education and outreach.
This project addresses drainage improvements in three locations: Linda Lane, Dottie Lynn Parkway and
Oakridge Terrace. At Linda Lane, an unmapped and undersized mid-block storm drain creates
residential flooding. At Oakridge Terrace, residential flooding has been documented along Sahara and
Rickee.
Dannenbaum Engineering Corporation, proposes to prepare plans and specifications for the necessary
drainage improvements at the locations identified above for a lump sum fee of $97,138. City staff considers
this to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $39,033 is required by the Engineering Department for project
management.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8, Mapsco, 92/A/E.
M/WBE - Dannenbaum Engineering Corporation is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by
committing to 19 percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 19 percent.

FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of
the Storm Water Capital Projects Fund.
