ATTACHMENT "A"
Scope of Services for Miscellaneous Drainage Investigations (IDIQ-C)
SWS-065
PREFACE
Over the years, the City of Fort Worth has experienced growth and development throughout
and is expected to resume growth into the future. As a growing municipality, drainage
planning is important to insure the safety of residents and protection of property. So
professional services are required to properly assess existing infrastructure and help the
City manage and support future growth by identifying drainage deficiencies and identify
flood risks and recommending solutions to alleviate or mange flooding. The purpose of this
contract is to assess the existing conditions of select areas and to develop
recommendations for improvements as needed.
The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in
completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the
work to be performed and address the needs of the Project. Under this scope, "ENGINEER"
is expanded to include consultant and any sub-consultant, including surveyor, employed or
contracted by the ENGINEER.
OBJECTIVES
1. This contract provides for professional services through a number of Task Order
assignments so that the City can respond to any drainage deficiencies on an as-needed
basis. Some of these task orders may be urgent in nature and a rapid response
capability is required.
2. Task Orders are to generally:
• Assess existing infrastructure to determine deficiencies and identify flood risks.
• Provide Recommendations 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
minimum target.
• Special consideration should be given to nonstandard solutions and methods that
may be implemented by a City field crew or evergreen contract.
• Develop project specific alternatives appropriate for study needs. Recommendations
shall be affordable, acceptable, and constructible.
• Avoid increases in flood risk elsewhere, including both upstream and downstream
systems.
3. Task orders will be initiated by the City and may include all or a portion of the services
listed below based on the location and the needed assessments. Prior to the execution
of any task orders the specific scope of services and associated fees will be provided to
the city.

WORK TO BE PERFORMED

Deliverables, Compensation, and Schedule are to be negotiated for each individual Task
Order independently. Task Orders will be documented on a Task Order authorization form.
Authorization to proceed is given by signature of the City's Project Manager.
