A. General
The ENGINEER will serve as the CITY's professional engineering representative
under this Agreement, providing professional engineering consultation and advice
and furnishing customary services incidental thereto.
B. Standard of Care
The standard of care applicable to the ENGINEER's services will be the degree of
skill and diligence normally employed in the State of Texas by professional
engineers or consultants performing the same or similar services at the time such
services are performed.
C. Subsurface Investigations
(1) The ENGINEER shall advise the CITY with regard to the necessity for
subcontract work such as special surveys, tests, test borings, or other
subsurface investigations in connection with design and engineering work to
be performed hereunder. The ENGINEER shall also advise the CITY
concerning the results of same. Such surveys, tests, and investigations
shall be furnished by the CITY, unless otherwise specified in Attachment A.
(2) In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations, the
actual characteristics may vary significantly between successive test points
and sample intervals and at locations other than where observations,
exploration, and investigations have been made. Because of the inherent
uncertainties in subsurface evaluations, changed or unanticipated
underground conditions may occur that could affect the total PROJECT cost
and/or execution. These conditions and cost/execution effects are not the
responsibility of the ENGINEER.
D. Preparation of Engineering Drawings
The ENGINEER will provide to the CITY the original drawings of all plans in ink on
reproducible plastic film sheets, or as otherwise approved by CITY, which shall
become the property of the CITY. CITY may use such drawings in any manner it
desires; provided, however, that the ENGINEER shall not be liable for the use of
such drawings for any project other than the PROJECT described herein.
E. Engineer's Personnel at Construction Site
(1) The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction
site, whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the
ENGINEER or its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that
belong to the CITY and/or the CITY's construction contractors or other
entities, and do not relieve the construction contractors or any other entity of
their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all
construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures
necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction
work in accordance with the Contract Documents and any health or safety
precautions required by such construction work. The ENGINEER and its
personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction
contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or
any health or safety precautions.
(2) Except to the extent of specific site visits expressly detailed and set forth in
Attachment A, the ENGINEER or its personnel shall have no obligation or
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.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the
services set forth in the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled
to rely upon such certification to establish materials, systems or equipment
and performance criteria to be required in the Contract Documents.
F. Opinions of Probable Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the
current available information at the time of preparation, in accordance with
Attachment A.
(2) In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility
projections, and schedules for the PROJECT, the ENGINEER has no
control over cost or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent
conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect operation or
maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market 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.
H. Record Drawings

Reference to: Scope of Services
Sanitary Sewer Main 253 from Sta. 28+62-to Sta. 328+95
Project No. P 172-070172141100D
Dear Mr. Fu,
We at TranSystems appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal for your
consideration. Based on our meetings with you and research of the project we have
prepared the below Scope of Services and fees.
A. Phase 1- Study Phase Lump Sum $159,000.00
1. Draft Study
a. Develop Base Mapping - We propose to develop an electronic file base map
which will have multiple layers of information as follows:
1) Aerial Photograph from City
2) Aerial Topography from City
3) Existing Water and Sanitary Sewer Mains
4) Subdivision/Platting (If Available From City)
5) Major Storm Drain Lines (36" and Larger)
b. Develop Route Alternatives - We propose to evaluate three alternative routes.
These routes will be developed in conceptual detail as follows:
1) Alternative Routes will be shown horizontally as additional layers to the
base mapping. These routes will be developed keeping in mind existing
development, existing rights-of-ways, existing and future roadways, etc.
Plans will be developed at a scale of 1"=400' (horizontal). These plan
C:\Documents and Settings\rpena\My Documents\My Documents\proposals\M253\Exhibit 13-2a.doc
views (no profile) will be developed using City Aerial Topography and
"as-built" /file drawings of existing sewer mains.
2) Rough "Opinions of Probable Construction Cost" will be developed on the
three alternatives.
3) A recommendation will be made on the preferred route, based on a
matrix of issues including construction costs, right-of-
way/easement requirements, and accessibility for City
maintenance.
2. Final Study Report
a. Preferred alternative will be developed in greater detail as follows:
1) Conceptual Plan/Profiles will be developed (using base map data) along
the entire proposed route at 1"=400'.
2) Additional utility research will be conducted along the preferred route.
3) We will develop a more detailed "Opinion of Probable Construction
Costs" for the preferred route.
b. A formal report will be issued that will include the following:
1) Exhibits on All Alternatives
2) Discussion of Each Alternative
3) Preliminary Opinions of Probable Construction Costs of alternatives
4) Recommendation and Documentation of Preferred Route will include:
a) Conceptual Plan/Profile (based on files/ "as-builts")
b) Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
c) Utility Coordination/Conflicts
d) Easement needs
e) Discussion will be developed at greater detail relating to route and
major design considerations
3. Flow Monitoring/ Hydraulic Modeling
a. Flow Monitoring-
1) Field investigations will consist of flow monitoring. Field investigations will
not begin prior to 10:00 a.m. on those days that the CITY is under Level Red
Ozone alert. All applicable regulations will be followed during the
investigations.
2) Review sanitary sewer system maps and identify flow monitoring
locations.
3) Perform field investigations to finalize location of flow meters. Cleaning
of sewers, if required, will be performed by the CITY's forces.
C:\Documents and Settings\rpena\My Documents\My Documents\proposals\M253\Exhibit B-2a.doc
4) Install, service, and calibrate flow meters at an estimated six (6) locations
in the wastewater collection system for an estimated 60 days during the
historically wet season. During the first week of operation, the flow
meters will be serviced once, thereafter flow meters will be serviced
weekly. Additional servicing of the flow meters may be performed during
periods of wet-weather at the discretion of the CITY. Servicing of flow
meters will be performed at different time of day to obtain a representative
sample of flows. A spare flow meter will be available should it be
determined during servicing that a meter requires replacement. It is
assumed that adequate dry- and wet-weather conditions will be observed
during the flow monitoring period such that a minimum of six storm
events of different rainfall intensities are monitored which do not result in
surcharge conditions. A separate dry-weather monitoring period during
the historically dry season is not included in the scope of this project. It is
anticipated that American Sigma 910 or 950 meters will be used during
the study. These meters record both depth and velocity and are capable of
recording flow under surcharged conditions. The meter has a
manufacturer's stated accuracy of f0.5% of depth measurement and a
f2% of velocity measurement.
b. Rainfall Monitoring
The CONSULTANT will install four continuous recording rain gauges to
collect rainfall data during the study period.
c. Flow Data Analysis - Flow data analysis consisted of determining:
1) The average flow under dry weather/low groundwater conditions,
2) Infiltration rates during dry weather/high groundwater conditions,
3) Rainfall dependent inflow and infiltration analysis (QvsI),
4) Peak hourly flow and peaking factor during dry weather and wet weather
d. Hydraulic Analysis
The CONSULTANT shall retain the services of Freese & Nichols, Inc. to
provide hydraulic modeling of the M-253 sewer main. Freese & Nichols
shall utilize the HydroWorks hydraulic model prepared as part of the
Master Plan update and will perform the following tasks:

companies that are affected by the project. Locate visible utilities including,
sewer manholes, water valves, power poles, storm drain structures, telephone
pedestals and pipeline markers. Coordinate with the utility companies that
may require probing or exposing the existing utility. This effort will include
meeting with the local utility companies/municipalities in the field for up to
15 de-holes to locate various utilities.
c. Design Survey—The topographic design survey consists of the route survey
being approximately 30,400 linear feet. The topographic survey shall be 100
feet in width and shall be 50 feet left and right of the proposed centerline
except in the itemized areas the topographic survey shall be as follows:
1) I-820 crossing will include supplemental surveys of the highway,
2) Additional topography in vicinity of the Riverbend Estates entrance to tie
low-lying property, finish floors and sewer flow lines, and
3) Aerial control, aerial surveys and supplemental surveys along Randol Mill
Road from IH-820 westward to M-253 station 328+18. The topographic
survey shall include locating all existing features within the topographic
limits of the survey. Topographic elevations shall be taken as needed to
generate an accurate Digital Terrain Model. Features located shall include,
but not limited to,pavements, sidewalks, buildings, fences, curb & gutter,

of M253.
d. Soil Borings—Locate approximately 30 soil bore holes along the project
route. Borings to be performed by the CITY.
e. Centerline Staking - Stake centerline of the proposed route at 500-foot
intervals and at all PI's, PC's and PT's after the design survey is complete and
the engineer has completed final design.
C:\Documents and Settings\rpena\My Documents\My Documents\proposals\M253\Exhibit B-2a.doc
f. Easement Staking—We propose to stake proposed easements (where
requested) to show property owners on the ground the limits of the easement.
The limits of the proposed easements will be staked at 200 foot intervals and
at all PC's, PT's and PI's. For this proposal it is assumed half of the project
length (15,000 linear feet)would require this service.
2. Easement Surveys
a. Deed Research- TranSystems will visit the Tarrant Appraisal District to
determine current ownership of each parcel of land affected by the route
determination for this project. After completing this task TranSystems will
visit the Deed Records of Tarrant County and acquire all subject deeds
affected by the approved alignment of the sanitary sewer. These deeds will be
compiled in individual folders for each affected tract.
b. Working Sketch- A working sketch will be prepared by TranSystems for use
of office technicians and field crews for performing the following necessary
tasks for the development of this project. The working sketch will help the
field crews know dimensions of subject parcels as well as identification of
deed monuments in place at the time of that particular conveyance. The
working sketch will also help office technicians and RPLS staff recognize any
potential boundary conflicts before going to the field.
c. Field Reconnaissance- Field reconnaissance will then be performed by field
crews locating rear property corners or other available property corners
needed to determine the boundaries of the affected subject tracts for field
location of these tracts. If there is inadequate boundary information found on
the ground, TranSystems will use information found in the subject deed to
reconstruct the subject property for easement preparation.
d. Boundary Ties- The boundary field work will be performed to locate the
previously found property corners of affected parcels and tie them to the
subject coordinate system being used for the project.
e. Boundary Analysis- Survey technicians and RPLS personnel will analyze
boundary data collected in the field and determine subject boundaries and any
boundary conflicts before the preparation of Field Note Descriptions and
Exhibits.
f. Easement and Exhibit Preparation- TranSystems will prepare field note
descriptions and exhibits for the affected tracts of this project. One corner of
the easement will be referenced to Texas North Central Zone (State Plane
Coordinates) in the field note description and the complimenting exhibit of
each parcel affected. Error of closure sheets will be prepared and turned in
with the field notes and exhibits of each individual parcel. Although a route
has not been determined TranSystems has estimated there will be
C:\Documents and Settings\rpena\My Documents\My Documents\proposals\M253\Exhibit B-2a.doc
approximately forty (40) tracts of land, east of IH 820, affected by the
Sanitary Sewer route. This proposal does not include easements west of IH
820. It is anticipated that existing easements or median and/or ROW of
Randol Mill road will be utilized.
g. Submittal- TranSystems will submit the Field Note Descriptions, Exhibits and
error of closure sheets to the City of Fort Worth for review and comments.
C. Phase III- Engineering Plans Lump Sum $ 469,000.00
1. Preliminary Engineering Plans
a. Plans- Preparation of Preliminary Plan and Profile sheets at 1"-40' for
approximately 30,000 if of M-253 sanitary sewer and approx. 10,000 LF of
relocated laterals. This proposal does not include rerouting any public and/or
private sewer lines constructed after the date of this 03/24/03.
b. Cost Estimates- Preparation of a "Preliminary Opinion of Probable Cost"
c. Utility Coordination- Identification of utilities along the proposed route as
well as field location of utilities that may be in conflict. It is assumed that
these utilities will be uncovered by either the City of Fort Worth or the Utility
Company involved. TranSystems will coordinate with the City or Utility
Company and send survey crews to tie the lines uncovered by others.
d. Easements — TranSystems will prepare separate easement exhibits and legal
descriptions for all parcels along the route. TranSystems will provide Real
property with easement documents for purposes of acquisition.

SUBJECT ENGINEERING AGREEMENT WITH TRANSYSTEMS CORPORATION FOR
SANITARY SEWER MAIN 253 REPLACEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with
TranSystems Corporation in the amount of$890,335 for Sanitary Sewer Main 253 replacement.
DISCUSSION:
Sanitary Sewer Main 253 was installed on the south shore of the west fork of the Trinity River in 1958. This
main transports wastewater from a large section of east Fort Worth to the Village Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant. In 1997 and 1998, two emergency repairs were carried out on collapsed sections. Field
investigation and core samples revealed that the collapses were due to serious pipe corrosion. The current
Fort Worth Wastewater Master Plan recommends that Main 253 be upsized to provide additional capacity to
meet current flow and future growth during the years 2002-2007 planning period.
As part of this agreement, the engineer will conduct flow monitoring, recommend pipe capacity to meet
year 2020 flow projections, perform an alignment study, and design approximately 40,000 linear feet of
Main 253 replacement.
This project is an integral part of the Fort Worth wastewater program to comply with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's proposed regulations known as capacity, management, operations
and maintenance.
In addition to the contract amount, $14,000 is required for project management by the Engineering
Department.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 5.
TranSystems Corporation is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 28%
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 28%.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of
the Sewer Capital Project Fund.
