Resolution No. 2003—R0313
ATTACHMENT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Fugro South, Inc. will work closely with the Lubbock City Engineer to address the issues identified
in the city's RFQ, namely;
a. Evaluation of typical, native soil conditions in the City of Lubbock as they relate to
excavations and backfill operations.
b. Investigation and evaluation of current practices and procedures related to backfill of utility
ditches in the City of Lubbock. This investigation will include current practices by city
owned utilities, public utility companies, their contractors, and subcontractors.
C. Participation in meetings with city staff, representatives of city -owned utilities and public
utility companies. A presentation to the City Council of the findings of the evaluation may
also be included.
d. Investigation of methods and practices of backfill of excavations in public right-of-way in
other Texas cities.
e. Preparation of a report related to the adequacy of current methods and practices of
excavation backfills within the City of Lubbock right-of-way and a recommendation of
appropriate revisions to these methods and practices.
f. Evaluation of methods and practices, and recommendations of possible changes in these
methods, of utility trenches in public alleys, with special emphasis on alley utility backfill
practices in new subdivision developments.
g. Preparation of a policy manual on standardized methods, practices, and specifications for
backfill operations of excavations within the public right-of-way. These standards will
also include possible differing methodology for unpaved street, paved minor street, or
paved major street backfills. The standards may also address differing requirements for
narrow, wide, shallow, and deep excavations.
h. Assist in the preparation of a "draft" policy defining requirements for backfill of
excavations in the public right-of-way of the City of Lubbock, based on the conclusions of
the investigations and evaluations of the tasks detailed in the contract Scope of Work.
i. Review the City of Lubbock's current paving cut repair details and specifications for
adequacy of design, and prepare an updated paving cut repair manual.
To order this scope we have identified the following tasks which will be described herein and which will be
cost -estimated in a section to follow.
Task 1: Initial Kickoff Conference. Fugro staff will travel to Lubbock and spend one
full day meeting with the City Engineer and his staff to: be provided testimonial from staff as to the
nature of problems; visit several problem job sites; receive a directory of city staff, consultants,
contractors, and utilities who are stakeholders and who should be interviewed by Fugro at a later
1
date; and receive applicable city standards, specifications, geotechnical reports, typical utility
details and any other supporting information that the City Engineer would desire Fugro to review
and provide comment thereto.
Task 2: Review of Pertinent Lubbock Documents. This task is basically a detailed
review of documents assembled in Task 1. This will help us address Items B and I in the original
RFQ.
Task 3: Research Procedures used in other Texas Cities. Fugro staff will coordinate
with other Fugro Texas -based offices to document utility backfill practices used in excavation in
public ROW in at least ten other cities with populations in excess of 100,000. These findings will
be assembled in the form of a questionnaire, the content of which will be developed in conjunction
with the Lubbock City Engineer. Research findings will be presented in a report to be discussed in
separate Task (Task 6). (This corresponds to Item E in the RFQ.)
Task 4: Comprehensive Interviews with Stakeholders. Fugro proposes to dedicate a
full week to conducting detailed interviews with stakeholders identified through Task 1 above.
These interviews will be conducted by one of our senior staff (Assistant Project Manager) and will
occur in a City -provided office or conference room. We expect that we could conduct as many as
20-25 interviews with selected individuals during this week. We assume City of Lubbock staff will
assist our staff by contacting the interviewees and scheduling the interviews during the pre-
assigned week. The interviews will be undertaken to develop an understanding of the nature of
problems, how they have occurred, and how they have been remedied.
Task 5: Site Visits to Ongoing Proiects. In conjunction with Task 4, Fugro staff will
visit a few projects that are then currently under construction to review construction practices,
evaluate backfill procedures, witness density testing, and witness inspection and oversight process
by City Staff. In short, we will review the entire process. During this evaluation we are particularly
interested in evaluating testing procedures and would like to review inspection and test reports as
well as determine how testing laboratories interact with contractor and City inspector. These site
visits should be performed on a range of utilities such as a water and wastewater, storm sewer,
electric, gas, etc.
Task 6: Soil Sampling and Laboratory Testing. To assist in the evaluation of typical,
native soil conditions Fugro will work with city staff and collect enough representative soil samples
to perform index testing and compaction testing. Tests will include — No. 200 sieve grain size
analysis, compaction tests and moisture contents. Exact test methods and frequency to be
determined after Tasks 1-4 are completed.
Task 7: Compilation of Summary Report. The results of Tasks 1 through 5 will be
evaluated thoroughly, and then compiled into a final report. Before release of the report, it will be
presented to the City Engineer in "draft" format for review and comments prior to finalizing. The
G
report will address Items E, F, G, and H presented in the original RFQ. Specifically; the report will
address the adequacy of current methods for utility backfill within City of Lubbock ROW;. will
make recommendations for possible changes to these methods in city streets, public alleys,
subdivision alleys, etc; will present a "draft" policy defining backfill requirements in public ROW;
will present a "draft" policy manual for standardizing methods, practices, and specifications for
backfill of public ROW utilities with possible differentiations between unpaved streets, paved
minor and major streets, and trenches having a variety of widths and depths. In addition, the report
will include possible new details and specifications for pavement cut repairs. After review and
comments by the City Engineer, our report will be finalized and ten (10) copies will be provided to
the City, with one "original' for future publication by the City.
Task 8: Presentation of Findings and Report to City. Following presentation of our
final report, Fugro staff will make a one day trip to Lubbock to present our findings to City staff
which could include the City Engineer, Director of Public Works, City Council, and Utility
Directors. The presentation would essentially consist of presenting findings of the report in
overhead or ViewGraph format.
