EXHIBIT A, SCOPE OF SERVICES
NORTHWEST LOOP 289 INTERCEPTOR
ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
General:
The City of Lubbock (Owner) is experiencing a period of growth throughout the city and surrounding areas,
particularly within the Northwest Sewer Basin, which is the focus of this project. To respond to this growth,
infrastructure improvements are required to meet the increasing population, non-residential development,
and potential annexation areas, as identified in the Owner's 2020 Wastewater Master Plan (Project Nos. 4
and 5). The development of the proposed sewer interceptor (PROJECT), per the Master Plan, is to replace
the existing 15/18/21/24-inch sewer interceptor along Iola Avenue, 191h Street, and Northwest Loop 289, to
the Diversion Box located at Quaker Avenue. As an alternate design, the existing sewer interceptor, which
would remain in service, would be supplemented with a parallel sewer system, whose combined sewer
capacity is sufficient to convey the future flows. To address the projected future flows, the PROJECT's
primary objectives consist of the following:
A. The PROJECT includes the following BASIC and SPECIAL services:
1. Project management, quality assurance, and quality reviews.
2. Prepare Preliminary Design Report (PDR) - Identifying and analyzing three alternate routes, in
addition to the baseline route identified in the Owner's Wastewater Master Plan (refer to
Attachment 1), Route Options 1, 2A, 26, 3 and 4). Route Options 1, 26, 3 and 4 would replace
the existing sewer, while Route Option 2A would be sized accordingly based on the existing
sewer to remain in service. Included in the PDR will be the determination of rehabilitation
methods for portions of the existing sewer lines for Route Option 2A, if the existing sewer
main is to remain in service, or if the existing sewer main is required to continue to convey
only local flow.
3. Condition Assessment — A condition assessment of approximately fifty (50) existing manholes
and 21,360 LF of existing sewer (2,820 LF 15-inch, 7,050 LF 18-inch, 9,020 LF 21-inch, and 2,470
LF 24-inch) will be performed. The purpose of this condition assessment will be to identify if
rehabilitation is required, and if so, to select the method conducive to its condition. Per
discussions with the Owner, it has been determined that Heavy Cleaning and/or Specialty
Cleaning, as defined by NAASCO's PACP program, will not be required. These services can be
provided as an Additional Service.
4. Topographical Survey — Topographical survey will be performed for approximately 25,000 LF
along the Owner -approved route, selected from the Preliminary Design Report (PDR). The
length of the survey is based on the longest route evaluated in the PDR (Route Option 4). Survey
will also be provided for the existing sewer main including the next upstream manhole for all
1
lateral connections. There are approximately fifty (50) manholes on the existing sewer main,
34 of which have lateral connections. A total of eighty-four (84) manholes will be surveyed for
the existing sewer main.
5. Geotechnical Investigation - The proposed geotechnical scope of work for the PROJECT will
consist of field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and data reporting. Up to
11 exploratory borings will be performed with borings drilled to a minimum depth of 25 feet
below existing grade. Exploratory borings will be located generally every 2500 linear feet along
the selected alignment and on each end of any bored/tunneled crossings.
6. Environmental Evaluation — The proposed environmental evaluation consists of a pedestrian
survey, coordination with the Texas Historical Commission, and the preparation of an
environmental permitting memorandum. It is anticipated that environmental permitting will
not be required. Any permitting necessary can be provided as an Additional Service.
B. The PROJECT does not include the following services:
1. Resident Project Representation (RPR).
2. General Representation during construction.
3. Bidding or advertising the PROJECT.
4. Disposal fees for waste material collected by the Contractor during the Condition Assessment
of the existing sewer. It is understood that the Owner will provide, free of charge, a location for
the Engineer's sub -consultant to dispose of all waste material.
5. It is assumed that the geotechnical borings will not encounter a rock stratum. Therefore, the
testing for such material is not included in the scope.
6. Temporary flow monitoring will not be provided. Design flows will be based on the Owner's
current Wastewater Master Plan and updated projections, currently being evaluated by FNI
under a separate contract.
7. Land acquisition services.
8. The preparation of a Pre -Construction Notification, individual Section 404 permit application to
the USACE, performing a survey for federally listed threatened or endangered species, providing
a cultural resource survey (archaeological), preparation of a Phase 1/11 environmental site
assessment, or any other type of environmental permit, is not included in the scope.

required.
4. Contact local, state and federal agencies to determine applicable rules and regulations and
permitting requirements that apply to the PROJECT and prepare engineering data necessary and
submit applications for routine permits required by the agencies. Anticipated permits could
include:
