Obligations of the Engineer
Amendments to Article IV, if any, are included in Attachment C.
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 execaition. These conditions and cost/execution effects are not the
responsibility of the ENGINEER.

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

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.

costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions; time or quality
ENGINEERING CONTRACT
Page 3 of 14
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
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of information

information from others that is incorporated into the record drawings.

City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/2/2004
DATE: Tuesday, November 02, 2004
LOG NAME: 30CIPARROWOOD REFERENCE NO.: **C-20373
SUBJECT:
Engineering Agreement with DeOtte, Inc., Civil Engineering, for Miscellaneous Drainage
Improvements to Arrowood Channel, Mercado Channel, Cottonwood Creek and Fosdic Lake
Spillway - Contract D (City Project 00096)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement
with DeOtte, Inc., Civil Engineering, in the amount of $95,590 for miscellaneous drainage improvements to
Arrowood Channel, Mercado Channel, Cottonwood Creek and Fosdic Lake Spillway.
DISCUSSION:
The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes funds for miscellaneous drainage improvements to
be made to Arrowood Channel, Mercado Channel, Cottonwood Creek and Fosdic Lake Spillway.
The scope of the project includes the design of channel improvements to Arrowood Channel from Debbie
Street northeasterly by 200 feet, Mercado Channel from N.E. 20th Street northeasterly by 250 feet,
Cottonwood Creek from Morrison Drive to Cooks Lane and the design of an overflow spillway at Fosdic
Lake Dam.
DeOtte, Inc., Civil Engineering, proposes to perform the necessary design work for a lump sum fee of
$95,590. City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
DeOtte, Inc., Civil Engineering, is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 24%
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on the project is 15%.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 4, 8 and 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the
Street Improvements Fund.
