or for what purpose the construction contractor has used the moneys paid;

Additional services/ Exclusions:
If you would like us to perform any additional work, please contact us and we will issue a
short Supplement to Agreement form, or Supplement Proposal, that outlines the additional
work to be performed and associated fees.
C. COMPENSATION
Observation and material testing services provided will be billed at the rates shown on the
attached 2014 Unit Fee Schedule. Based on the scope of services, we estimate a not-to-
exceed budget of approximately $75,000.00 for the quantity of proposed services in the
attached 2014 Unit Fee Schedule. All services will be billed at the time-and-materials rates
shown on the 2014 Unit Fee Schedule. Many factors beyond our control, such as weather and
the contractor's schedule, will dictate the final fee for our services.
An overtime premium of 1.5 times the hourly rate will apply for services provided Monday
through Friday that are in excess of 8 hours per day and for services provided before 7:00 AM
and after 7:00 PM, as well as for services provided on Saturday, Sunday and Terracon
recognized Holidays. Technician and consulting services will be billed at a four hour minimum.
The quantity of the work performed and factors beyond our control, such as weather and the
contractor's schedule/efficiency, will affect the actual cost for our services. You will be invoiced
at regular intervals but not less than monthly for services performed. Invoices for our services
will be directed to the addressee of this letter unless we are directed otherwise. Payment is due
within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice.
All services must be scheduled through our dispatch office (817-268-8600) at least 24 hours in
advance. Cancellations shall also be through our dispatcher prior to 4:30 pm the day prior. Our
dispatch office is available between the hours of 7:30 am - 4:30 pm, M-F. After hours calls are
handled by our voice mail system. It is recommended that you schedule services through our
dispatch office during our regular working hours noted above. Voice mail is checked the
following morning. Same day call-ins or after hour voice mail call-ins for work the following day
are subject to the availability of personnel. We cannot guarantee service for same day call-ins.

D. SITE ACCESS AND SAFETY
Client shall secure all necessary site related approvals, permits, licenses, and consents
necessary to commence and complete the services and will execute any necessary site access
agreement. Terracon will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures for its own
employees, but shall not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for
any third parties, including Client's contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the
site.
E. TESTING AND OBSERVATION
Client understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such
procedures indicate conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were
performed. Terracon will provide test results and opinions based on tests and field observation
only for the work tested. Client understands that testing and observation are not continuous or
exhaustive, and are conducted to reduce — not eliminate—project risk. Client agrees to the level
or amount of testing performed and the associated risk. Client is responsible (even if delegated
to contractor) for notifying and scheduling Terracon so Terracon can perform these services.
Terracon shall not be responsible for the quality and completeness of Client's contractor's work
or their adherence to the project documents, and Terracon's performance of testing and
observation services shall not relieve contractor in any way from its responsibility for defects
discovered in its work, or create a warranty or guarantee. Terracon will not supervise or direct
the work performed by contractor or its subcontractors and is not responsible for their means
and methods.
F. AUTHORIZATION
We understand that this proposal will be accepted by furnishing an e-mailed authorization. This
proposal is valid only if authorized within sixty days from the listed proposal date.
We appreciate the opportunity to be part of your team on this project. Please contact us if you

COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/9/2014
DATE: Tuesday, December 09, 2014 REFERENCE NO.: C-27131
LOG NAME: 55FTW ADMIN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION (01527)
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Construction Contract with Imperial Construction, Inc., in an Amount Not to
Exceed $15,872,750.00, Authorize Execution of a Materials Testing Agreement with Terracon Consultants,
Inc., in an Amount Not to Exceed $75,000.00, Rescind M&C C-27061 for Site Work Related to Temporary
Modular Buildings for the Expansion and Renovation of the Meacham Administration Building at Fort Worth
Meacham International Airport (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of a construction contract with Imperial Construction, Inc., in an amount not to
exceed $15,872,750.00 for the expansion and renovation of the Meacham Administration Building at Fort
Worth Meacham International Airport;
2. Authorize the execution of a Materials Testing Agreement with Terracon Consultants, Inc., in an
amount not to exceed $75,000.00 for the expansion and renovation of the Meacham Administration
Building at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport; and
3. Rescind M&C C-27061, approved on October 28, 2014, to perform site work related to temporary
modular buildings.
DISCUSSION:
On May 11, 2010, (M&C C-24215) the City Council authorized an Architectural Services Agreement(City
Secretary Contract No. 40243) with Hahnfeld, Hoffer and Stanford for programming and schematic design
to renovate and expand the Meacham Administration Building at Fort Worth Meacham International
Airport. This contract and its amendments bring the current design costs to $1,861,197.50.
On March 18, 2014, (M&C G-18161) the City Council authorized the use of revenue derived from mineral
leases on City-owned airports for the construction of the Meacham Administration Building (Administration
Building) renovation at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham Airport), the leasing of
temporary modular buildings for occupancy by all current tenants and Aviation Administration Offices
located in the building to relocate utilities and provide temporary infrastructure for the modular buildings,
as well as to fund moving and storage costs to both relocate tenants to the modular buildings and back
into the renovated Administration Building.
The Administration Building at Meacham Airport was built in 1968 and has not been updated except for
small alterations to portions of the facility, including a 1982 first floor addition. The renovation will remove
the 1982 addition which will increase the size of the apron adjacent to the facility. This renovation project
will also address many deficiencies including, but not limited to, an outdated heating ventilation and air
conditioning system, cooling towers that are under constant repair, lack of fire protection systems on the
ground level and second floor and Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility concerns.
The construction portion of the project was advertised for construction in the Fort Worth.-Star-Telegram on

August 28, 2014 and September 4, 2014. On September 25, 2014, seven Offerors submitted proposals,
and on October 2, 2014, four of the seven Offerors submitted the required Post Proposal PreAward
documents. The following seven proposals were received (Base Proposal):
Thos S. Byrne, Ltd. dba Byrne Construction Services $14,125,000.00

On October 17, 2014, the Best Value Selection Committee met and addressed the four proposals. The
committee members included representatives from the Aviation Department, M/WBE Office, project's

Owner's Contingency is being increased from 5 percent to 9 percent to perform the trailer site preparation
work that was previously authorized to be performed by Williams Scotsman Inc., in M&C C-27061.
Williams Scotsman Inc., withdrew itself from consideration for the site preparation. Any remaining
allowance at the end of construction will be retained by the City.
