Study Area and Background
The Forest Park-Berry watershed refers to a large storm drain watershed in the vicinity of the
intersection of Forest Park Boulevard and West Berry Street. The storm sewer system, with a
drainage area of 1.27 square miles, outfalls at McPherson Avenue, eventually drains to the
Clear Fork Trinity River via Zoo Creek. This watershed includes several residential
neighborhoods, a business district along West Berry Street, Paschal High School, and the
eastern portion of Texas Christian University. The area is fully developed, although some
vacant or underutilized parcels exist within the study area. There is a proposed transit facility
and future TEXRail passenger rail station near the intersection of West Berry Street and
Cleburne Road. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and the City are
currently developing a Transit Oriented Development plan (TOD) for the areas surrounding this
future station.
Purpose and Need
The purpose of this study is to further investigate the feasibility of alternative measures and
evaluate methods to reduce the frequency and magnitude of flooding in the Forest Park-Berry
watershed, in particular along the West Berry Street business corridor; and to ensure that
appropriate provisions are made for future drainage infrastructure needs as the area re-
develops. This is necessary to prevent the continued damages from flooding and to increase
the public safety and welfare in the area.
Study Obiectives
• Identify an affordable and acceptable plan to reduce flood risk (or significantly increase level
of flood protection) and frequent flooding in the Study Area. Protection of all properties from
flooding in the 5-year storm is the primary minimum target.
Page 9
MCCART-BERRY DETENTION FEASIBILITY STUDY WR � '
CITY OF FORT WORTH STUDY SWS-054 omo
SCOPE OF SERVICES
• Develop alternatives that utilize storage-based and non-traditional methods to reduce flood
risk. These include linear features along natural overland drainage patterns that provide a
hybrid function of secondary conveyance and storage and that can be enhanced with urban
design, landscape architecture, green-space, and recreational features; storage in the
Paschal High School campus and other areas; and low-impact features.
• Consider and utilize (where feasible) opportunities to blend features with other initiatives and
plans, and consider implementation opportunities in conjunction with the TCU/Berry TOD
Plan and Form Based Code.
• Avoid unacceptable increases in flood risk elsewhere, including downstream in Zoo Creek.
• Provide a conceptual plan that demonstrates the proposed solution is feasible, acceptable,
and constructible.
Definition of"Planning Level"
The work described in this Scope of Services is a Planning Level exercise. "Planning Level'
refers to a level of detail and related work effort specified within this study scope, and is defined
as the "level of detail in investigation, analyses, and conceptual layout necessary to support the
identification of plans and subsequent decisions regarding selection of alternatives and
implementation of future projects, including communication with the public." After completion of
the study, additional detail outside of the scope of this study will be developed to support
preliminary and final engineering design and construction.
Stakeholders
Previous studies have identified and engaged key external and internal stakeholders in the
community. They include the affected residents, neighborhood associations, the Berry Street
Initiative (a coalition of business owners along the Berry Street corridor), Texas Christian
University, Fort Worth Independent School District, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The
"T), and the City of Fort Worth Planning and Development Department. This study will include
limited engagement with stakeholders unless the City deems it prudent once a preferred
concept is identified and developed. As part of this study, a plan for public outreach and
involvement will be developed for use in future phases as the City moves toward design of a
mitigation solution.
Compliance Statement
The work in this Scope of Services will be in accordance with the August 2012 City of Fort
iSWM Criteria Manual for Site Development and Construction, with the following exceptions:
• The resultant 100-year flood may not be contained within the public right-of-way, as
required by criteria. In lieu thereof, any concept plan proposed will strive to reduce the
100-year flood, and will not increase 100-year flood risk at any location.
• The geometry of any proposed detention basins may not be in accordance with the
specifications in the manual. In such cases, designs will be coordinated with the City to
ensure they are sustainable and maintainable.
• The 2012 COFW iSWM Manual uses three storms, 1-, 10- and 100-year. Exception
would be to use storms other than the three prescribed in the manual.
BASIC SERVICES
The following Basic Services are to be provided by the Halff Team.

Task 3: Existing Conditions Hydrology and Hydraulics
The Halff Team will be provided the InfoWorks ICM model to be used for planning level
hydrologic and hydraulic calculations and modeling to determine and demonstrate the
performance of the system and to assist in sizing features. The model will be updated with the
most current elevation data and Zoo Creek will be added to form a comprehensive `Base
InfoWorks ICM Model', which all proposed conditions modeling will use as a starting condition.
A. Existing InfoWorks ICM Model: The Halff Team will simulate the Forest Park System
using the existing conditions InfoWorks ICM model provided by the Project Management
Team for the Forest Park-Berry watershed.
1. Obtain and Review Existing ICM Model — Halff Team will evaluate the model and
prepare a document summarizing any recommended model adjustments in
coordination with the model improvement efforts conducted by the Program
Management Team. Model adjustments will be addressed by Halff during this task.
Any major deficiencies will be discussed with the City and PMT to determine the
appropriate action.
2. Update DTM and ICM Ground Model — Halff will update the Digital Terrain Model
(DTM) based on any additional LiDAR or field survey information such that the
terrain is as accurate as possible. The updated DTM will be imported into ICM to
generate a Ground Model, from which the 2D mesh will be developed. Detail will be
added to the mesh as needed.
3. Update ICM Nodes and Links — The storm sewer infrastructure within the Forest
Park/Berry watershed has been identified and mapped in detail since the original
InfoWorks SD model was built and subsequently converted to ICM. Halff will update
the node and link elevations in the ICM model based on the latest City of Fort Worth
GIS information as well as any survey data gathered from the Zoo Creek Tunneling
Feasibility Study (SWS-052).
4. Zoo Creek Modeling — Halff will add the open channel river reach for Zoo Creek from
the McPherson outfall to the West Fork Trinity River Oxbow. The HEC- RAS models
Page 6

SCOPE OF SERVICES
from the Zoo Creek Hydraulic Study (City Proj. 00079) will be utilized as much as
possible to avoid duplication of effort; however, revised geometry will be taken from
the most current terrain dataset.
B. Hydrology: The Halff Team will develop rainfall hyetographs for a range of events and
durations, including the 3-hour, 6-hour, and 24-hour rainfall for the 1-year, 2-year, 5-
year, 10-year, and 100-year events using depth-duration information for Tarrant County.
Additional 24-hour hyetographs will be prepared for the 25- and 50-year events. In order
to account for the flows from the Warner Creek subbasin, hydrographs from the HEC-
HMS model developed as part of the Warner Creek Open Channel Study (SWS-011) will
be added into the ICM model as an internal boundary condition.
C. Existing Conditions InfoWorks ICM Simulations: The Halff Team will develop
simulations of the Forest Park-Berry system using the 3-hour, 6-hour, and 24-hour
duration hydrographs for the 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 100-year events.
Critical storm duration that will be considered for this study will be determined by the
Halff Team with input from the City and PMT. Additional simulations will be run for the
24-hour, 25- and 50-year events.
D. Existing Conditions Inundation Maps: The Halff Team will prepare 2D depth files in a
Geodatabase format showing the inundation for each storm event for the selected critical
storm durations. Refined inundation maps will be prepared as part of the final report.
E. Existing Conditions Assessment: The Halff Team will evaluate the drainage patterns
in the Forest Park/Berry watershed and determine the approximate runoff volume and
inundation elevation along each of the major trunk line systems for the selected critical
storm durations.
1. Update Flood Depth Data — Halff will generate flood depth grids based on the
InfoWorks ICM modeling for the critical storms.

Task 4: Opportunities and Challenges Assessment
The Halff Team will assess watershed wide opportunities and challenges to reduce flood risk
while implementing quality of life features/amenities such as pocket parks with rain gardens,
greenways with trails, traffic calming green streets, etc.
A. Internal Brainstorming Session: The Halff Team will meet to discuss and brainstorm
the integration of watershed wide opportunities and challenges with regards to quality of
life planning and flood protection.
B. Planning Assessment: Based on data assemblage and field work completed in
previous tasks, the Halff Team will identify the general location, scale, and nature of
planning-level opportunities and challenges within the study area. Planning
opportunities will be considered in light of other initiatives and plans including the
TCU/Berry TOD and Form-Based Code study. Opportunities and challenges will be
evaluated in terms of impact to neighborhood integrity and quality of life, and flood
protection capacity.
C. Drainage Feature Assessment: Based on general assumptions and the runoff volumes
estimated in Task 3, the Halff Team will analyze the incremental effects of various
generic LID and conventional/traditional strategies applied across the study area. This
will be a general analysis to eliminate any non-practical alternatives and decide upon
feasible LID features and conventional/traditional strategies. Selected features and
strategies will be generally evaluated to estimate unit storage volumes, construction
costs and maintenance cost per surface area. This data will be used to compare
strategies, estimate effectiveness, and utilization for the assessment of potential features
as described in Task 5.
D. O&M Recommendations: O&M for LID features may require a shift from the traditional
approach and execution of O&M. The Halff Team will provide a summary of general
O&M recommendations for the recommended LID features.

• One (1) Work Session with the City and PMT
Task 5: Identification and Assessment of Potential Features
The Halff Team will identify and size potential stormwater conveyance and storage features
using the InfoWorks ICM model and update as needed. These potential stormwater features
will result from a collaborative effort of the planners and engineers to identify locations with
opportunities for flood risk reduction and potential projects related to TOD and other
developments. In addition, specific stormwater features, such as underground detention, that
may not relate to planned development or LID-related attributes will also be examined.
A. Storage Volume Evaluation: The Halff Team will review the results of the InfoWorks
ICM simulations, and determine the approximate storage volumes required to improve
the performance of the watershed wide system. Storage volumes may be spatially
derived based on subareas to offset hydrograph peaks if feasible. This assessment will
consider the range of rainfall events and durations. The estimated storage volume
required to mitigate each of the modeled rainfall events will be identified and serve as
the target value for determining detention options. A working meeting with the City and
PMT will be held to evaluate the storage volume and discuss recommendations from the
Halff Team. The City, PMT and Halff Team will agree upon a range of storage volume
targets under three conveyance and detention scenarios: Least Aggressive, Moderately
Aggressive, and Most Aggressive as described below in Subsection B.
B. Proposed Scenario Development: The Halff Team will identify potential detention
areas within the study area, with a focus on the areas near the Berry Street corridor,
between Berry Street and Cleburne, and residential areas upstream of Cleburne Road.
The Halff Team will focus on linear corridors that can act as combinations of conveyance
and detention, using a series of control structures. The Halff Team will develop three
conveyance and detention scenarios, as described below. For each scenario, the Halff
Team will identify, at a planning level, the potential storage volume that may be
acquired, potential control structure locations, and necessary modifications to the
drainage network. Detention scenarios will be applied to both private and publicly
owned properties. However with the uncertainty of private entities' commitment to
implementation and maintenance, the focus will be on publicly owned properties
1. Least Aqqressive Scenario —The Halff Team will identify potential detention in areas
that have the most straightforward implementation. The goal of this is, if possible, to
identify the volume necessary to meet the target storage from Subsection A. This
scenario may involve acquisition of property, but will focus on property that is likely
part of redevelopment and revitalization plans. This scenario may include areas
subject to the TOD plan, but will recognize that reservation of this land will be limited.
This scenario will involve minimal disruption to the existing drainage network.
2. Moderately Aggressive Scenario —The Halff Team will identify potential detention
sites and features that provide the storage necessary to meet the target volume from
Subsection A. This scenario will consider the effect of property acquisition and
relocation of drainage infrastructure. The Halff Team will identify the most
reasonable and cost effective means of obtaining the desired volume. If clear
Page 9
MCCART-BERRY DETENTION FEASIBILITY STUDY '
CITY OF FORT WORTH STUDY SWS-054 M®o G
SCOPE OF SERVICES
constraints exist that prevent the reasonable identification of features, a reduced
volume will be identified.
3. Most Aggressive Scenario —The Halff Team will identify detention features that
provide the volume storage required to meet the target volume from Subsection A.
This will involve property acquisition, the relocation of drainage infrastructure, and
LID features, with no constraints imposed on the formulation of this detention
scenario.
C. Proposed Scenario Modeling: The Halff Team will develop proposed conditions IW
ICM models, including large-scale detention and/or conveyance facilities for the three
scenarios discussed above. The Halff team will incorporate changes to hydrologic data
and parameters from existing conditions, including LID surface storage, media, storage
layer, and underdrains. The Halff Team will reflect generic LID impacts through
adjustment of relevant hydrologic and hydraulic parameters for the various LID facilities.
Analysis will be performed using the same critical duration storms as the existing
conditions modeling.
D. Preliminary LID Modeling: The Halff Team will develop preliminary modeling of
proposed LID features using InfoWorks ICM, guided by EPA-SWMM. The general
effectiveness of proposed LID elements will be evaluated using detailed EPA-SWMM
modeling for five (5) selected sub-basins. Based on the results of the detailed EPA-
SWMM modeling, Halff will develop a procedure to incorporate LID impacts into the IW
ICM. This procedure is intended to account for the impacts of LID through normal
hydrologic and hydraulic parameters, such that the process may be utilized for other
studies, regardless of the modeling software. It is the intent of the Halff Team to include
the proposed improvements, both LID impacts and larger structural measures, in a
single model platform.
E. Revision of Storage Targets and Detention Feature Locations: The Halff Team may
recommend to the City and PMT the revision of storage volume targets and proposed
detention feature locations. The City and PMT, Halff Team will jointly consider these
recommendations and revise proposed scenarios as needed.
F. Schematic Concept Plan Development
1. Concept Layout Plans — The Halff Team will prepare a total of three (3) schematic
concepts (one per detention scenario) in the form of rough layout plans of the
detention scenarios discussed above. Some initial urban design and landscape
architectural features may be identified at this point (particularly potential sections,
side slopes, retaining walls, etc. that impact volume computations), but the focus is
on the provision of volume and flood damage reduction. The Halff Team will
consider and utilize (where feasible) opportunities to blend features with other
initiatives and plans, and consider implementation opportunities in conjunction with
the TOD study.
2. Planning Level Cost Estimates — The Halff Team will prepare planning level cost
estimates based upon the rough layouts. The cost estimates will focus on the major
cost items and property acquisition, and will include a placeholder for urban design
and landscape architectural enhancement. The cost estimates shall also include
appropriate contingencies for a planning level estimate.

constructability. The concepts will be presented in the form of rough sketch overlays on
GIS-based maps, and will be presented to the City and PMT in a work session. The City
and PMT will comment on the concepts and plans and will provide direction to the Halff
Team in the finalization of one (1) urban design and landscape architectural concept.
B. Refine Urban Design and Landscape Architectural Concept: The Halff Team will
refine the one (1) preferred landscape architectural concept based upon the work
session with the City and PMT.
1. Considerations —The preferred alternative should further consider connectivity to the
community, walkability, public features, and compatibility with other plans, cost, and
provision of the desired storage volume.
2. Coordination — The Halff Team will support City staff in meeting with other entities
(up to one (1) meeting facilitated by City staff) with plans that may be impacted by
the study, or that may have the opportunity for joint-use or plan enhancement.
3. Affected Properties —The Halff Team will develop a listing of affected properties.
4. Conceptual Opinions of Probable Costs — Previously developed cost estimates from
Subsection 4.0 will be refined to include more detail, although they should still be
considered planning level.
5. Presentation of Refined Landscape Architectural Concept - The refined concept will
be presented to the City and PMT at a scale necessary to properly illustrate the
concept. Presentation will include plan view and cross sections, including urban
design and landscape architectural renderings that illustrate how the features fit into
the surrounding environment.
