Preface
In an on-going effort to better serve its citizens, the City of Fort Worth (CITY) has begun
the initiative of identifying, quantifying, and mitigating local neighborhood flooding
issues. 'The City of Fort Worth Stormwater Program (PROGRAM) is implementing this
assessment through, they use of various studies, and desig n projects. Historically these,
issues have been addressed on a somewhat isolated basis by fixing individual pieces of
a system., The purpose, of these feasibility studies is to assess these issues, in a more
holistic fashion. By analyzing the system in its entirety, the City can more, efficiently
address the cause of flooding. By performing these studies in a methodical and
oirgan�ized manor the City can prioritize areas of potential flooding by severi'ty as well as
systematically assess the entire city., The result is a program that the City can rely on to
produce functional, constructible projects that provide areal and tangible benefits to the
citizens of Fort Worth,. These studies should be approached as if they were a
preliminary or "conceptual" design project. It is the intent that these studies will flesh
out potential barriers to construction such as utility conflicts, right-of-way requirements,1
excessive construction cost, and future pending development, to the extent that
recommended projects, are known to be feasible�, affoirdabl1 e, and possibile for
construction. These studies should stop short of providing the necessary design plans
for construction. The proposed solutions provided by these studies will be extracted on
a prio n s and allocated to, appropriate personnel: in the Capital Improvement
ffi I zed basis
division to become a separate design, project. To assist with this effort the City has hired
a Program Management Team (PMT)l. The PMT will act as agents for the City to
facilitate, rebate,d tasks for these studies.
Task Order Execution:
This is an IDIQ contract, for Miscellaneous Drainage Studies. This contract will be
executed by multiple individual task orders. as orders will be initiated by the City and
may iin�clude all or a portion of the items, listed below. Prior to the execution f' any task
I
orders the specific scope of services and associated fees will be provided to, the city.
Objectives.ml
• Assess existing infrastructure to determine deficiencies and identify flood risks.
• Provide Recom mend ations to the City to significantly increase the level of service of
the drainage system in order to reduce risks and *frequency of flooding in the Study
Area. Protection of all properties from flooding in the 5-year storm is the primary
minimurn target.
Recommendations shall be affordable,, acceptable, and constructible.,

• Consider ands utilize (where determined to be feasible) opplortuinities to blend
features with other initiatives and plans, such as redevelopment, schools, multiuse
facilities, etc...
• Consider possibility of integrating proposed alternatives with other City CIP or
rehabilitation projects from, other City departments.
Avoid increases in flood risk elsewhere, inc,ludi'n�g both upstream and downstream
systems.
• Estimate impacts to water quality resulting -from proposed alternatives, in
accordance with the City's Ml S4: permit.
• Provide a conceptual design that demonstrates that the proposed plan is feasible,
acceptable, and constructible.
Involve the public to ensure acceptability of proposed improvements to the
neighborhood
Planning L l Fea�sibility Study:
45 The work described in this Scope of Services is a Planning Level exercise.
"Planning, Level" refers to a level of detail and relatedi work effort specified within this
study, scope, and is defined as, the "level of detail in investigation, analyses, and
preliminary design necessary, to support the identification of plans and subsequent
decisions regarding selection of alternatives and implementation of' projects,,
including,ncluding, communication with the public." Upon implementation,, additional detail will
be developed to support engineering design and construction.

Task 5: Alternative Analysis and Miti at Strategiess
The ENGINEER wi�lli evaluate multiple alternative solutions to reduce, the risk of flooding!
and identify potential mitigation strategies within the study area to meet the objectives of
the study. Identify potential mitigation strategies in areas that have the most
straightforward implementation. The ENGINEER vial screen the evaluated alternatives
and will recommend to the City only alternatives that are feasible for construction. This
plan may involve acquisition of property options. Performance of this task shall' include:
• ENGINEER shall evaluate potential, improvements to the drainage system
sufficient to meet current City of Fort Worth design trite ria. In the event that a
complete solution is determined to be not feasible then the ENGINEER will
evaluate solutions, that provide an improved level of service/level of protection
greater than the performance of the existi gi system.
• Planning Level Layout Plans — ENGINEER will produce c,on�ceptual layouts of the
concepts proposed in Task I. Concepts will be for the mitigation strategies as
described in the objective of the study.
Planning Level Cost Estimates NGINEER will identify planning level cost
estimates based upon the conceptual layout plans. The cost estimates should
focus on the major cost items, inclulding property acquisition, utility relocation, all
associated appurtenances, etc. The cost estimates shall have appropriate
contingencies as a conceptual, planning level exercise.
Screening of Concepts GINNED will perform an initial feasibility assessment
of each concept. This assessment shall be based upon the estimated cost,
potential benefit, and constructability. The consultant w,ill, present this
assessment to City/PMTto jointly decide on the elimination of certain concepts.
The EN IN will refine,, revise, and potentially add concepts based upon the
work session with City staf.
If all concepts are eliminated, the study will be concluded at this point.

1. Written summary of alternatives and mitigation strategies evaluated I including
list of affected properties.
2, Written, summary of feasibility of alternatives and documented decisions
points leading to the elimination or recommendation of particular alternatives.
3. Rough, conceptual layout plans-.
Concept plans should include affected properties (da�t , mitigation, strategy
features, with plost, project inundation mapping or other model results
4. Planning level Opinion of Probable Costs.-
The cost estimates will be refined, to include more detail, although they should
still be considered planning level.
5. Presentation of Alternatives, - The concepts will be presented at a scale
necessary to illustrate to the City and to the public. Presentation will include
plan view and cross section, including architectural renderings that illustrate
how the features fit into the surrounding environment.
6. Power Point Presentation — The ENGINEER will develop a power point
presentation of the alternatives for presentation at a public meeting.,
Task 6: Cons tructab"llitv Revi'ew,:
The ENGINEER will perform a constructability review of each recommended mitigation,
strategies. This review shall identify and assess implementation risks associated, with
each alternative concept. The ENGINEER will, consider cost and funding, coordination
with other agencies, coordination with other City construction projects, construction
disruption, right-of-way acquilsition, community acceptancey utilities, and other items
necessary to consider implementation risk. If necessary, the consultant will identify
areas of additional study required to mitigate uncertainty. The ENGINEER shall
coordinate a construct ability review meeting with the City) PM'T,: and other affected City
departments, (I.e. Streets, Water, Parks, etc.a.). The ENGINEER will make revisions to
the selected alternatives based on C1ty/PMT input from this meeting.

Task Z. Water Qual"Ity Assessment
The ENGINEER shall perform, an initial assessment, of water quality impacts of any
proposed improvements. This must be included as it is required to comply with the
pity's MS4 and NPIDES permits. The genera] direction given by the MS4 permit is that
