• Graphic exhibits and written summary of alternative design concepts considered,
strengths and weaknesses of each, and the rationale for selecting the
recommended design concept based upon the established design criteria.
• Documentation of key design decisions.
• Estimates of probable construction cost.
2.3 Environmental Permitting Evaluation
The ENGINEER will perForm an Environmental Permitting Evaluation for this PROJECT to
include the following tasks:
Gather and Review Existing Information — Assemble data such as aerial photos,
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) soil information, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland
Inventory (NWI) data, USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) information,
and the project area in digital format for the development of field maps and to
upload to a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit.
Site Visit — Conduct a pedestrian survey and tree survey within the proposed LOC.
Potential waters of the U.S. (WOTUS), such as relatively-permanent streams,
wetlands, or open waterbodies, will be documented and the boundaries of these
features will be mapped with a GPS capable of sub-meter accuracy. The
jurisdictional boundaries of wetlands will be delineated based on the 1987 U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual and the Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Great Plains
Region (Version 2.0). Assess the proposed LOC to determine if potential habitat
for federally listed threatened or endangered species is present, and investigate
structures within and near the project area which may qualify as historic age
structures. The tree survey will be performed in accordance with the City of Fort
Worth's tree ordinance requirements.
Permitting Memorandum — Develop a technical memorandum documenting the
result of the site visit, and if the project has been designed to meet the terms and
conditions of a Nationwide Permit (NWP) without the preparation and submittal of
a Pre-construction Notification (PCN) to the USACE. If the project is determined to
require a PCN, it can be provided as an additional service. Since the project would
be designed to affect less than five acres and disturb less than 5,000 cubic yards,
ENGINEER anticipates that coordination with the Texas Historical Commission
(THC) is not required and the technical memorandum will discuss potential impacts
to historic resources. If the project is determined to require a letter to the THC, it
can be provided as an additional service.
• Tree Survey — Prepare a tree survey data spreadsheet, including tree tag number,
species name, diameter at breast height (DBH), and tree condition data. The tree

drilling, log the borings, and handle and transport the samples. Visual
classification of the subsurface stratigraphy shall be provided per the Unified
Soil Classification System (USCS).
• Laboratory Testing
Testing shall be performed on samples obtained from the borings to determine soil
classification and pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface materials.
ENGINEER wilf select samples for laboratory testing, assign tests, and review the
test results. Testing will be perFormed by a geotechnical testing subcontractor.
a. Laboratory tests will be assigned based on the specific subsurface materials
encountered during exploration. Test type and quantity may vary, but are

SUBJECT:
(CD 7 and TARRANT COUNTY) Authorize Execution ofAmendment No. 1 in the Amount of $1,009,580.00
to an Engineering Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., for a Revised Contract Amount of
$2,152,892.00 for the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Main Project and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinance to Effect a Portion of Water's Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital
Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $1,009,580.00 to an Engineering
Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc. (City Secretary Contract No. 59868) for the Bonds Ranch
Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Main project (City Project No. 104490) for a revised contract
amount of $2,152,892.00; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds Series 2024 Fund by increasing estimated receipts
and appropriations in the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Main project (City
Project No. 104490) in the amount of $1,075,580.00 and decreasing estimated receipts
and appropriations in the Commercial Paper project (City Project No. UCMLPR) by the same
amount, to effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital
Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
On June 27, 2023, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 23-0544 authorized an engineering
agreement in the amount of $1,143,312.00 with Freese and Nichols, Inc. (City Secretary Contract No.
59868) for design of the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main. The project provided for
the design of an 11.5 Million Gallons Per Day Lift Station A("LSA") along with Force and Gravity Mains to
accommodate continued growth on the east side of Eagle Mountain Lake.
Amendment No. 1 will provide for the design for a 10.5 Million Gallons Per Day Lift Station B("LSB") that
in conjunction with LSA, will provide sanitary sewer service to the area west of Morris Dido Newark Road
and south of Peden Road.
Freese and Nichols, Inc, proposes to provide the necessary design services for the lift station and related
appurtenances for a fee of $1,009,580.00. Staff considers the proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for
the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $66,000.00 is required for project management.
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.
Funding is available in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Rev Bonds Series 2024 Fund for
purpose of funding the Bonds Ranch LS(B)/FM/GM project.
Funding for the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Main Project is depicted below:
