EXHIBIT A- SCOPE OF SERVICES
MACKENZIE PARK DAM — EVALUATION AND REHABILITATION — PHASE I
Proiect Understandin�:
MacKenzie Park Dam impounds water on the North Fork Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River in
Lubbock, Texas. The dam is presently not listed in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEq)
Dam Safety database. Details regarding the hydraulic design, embankment zonation, foundation conditions,
and structural design are unknown. The dam is assumed to be an earthen structure that is approximately 6
feet tall and approximately 250 feet long. The dam effectively serves as a low water crossing as the roadway
(Cesar Chavez Drive) located on the crest is consistently overtopped. The dam is an integral structure in flood
mitigation and connecting communities with MacKenzie Park. As the City of Lubbock (CITY) continues to
expand they understand the need to examine and analyze older infrastructure to ensure they are meeting
the requirements and needs of the city.
A. The PROIECT includes the following BASIC services:
1. Project management.
2. Topographic survey.
3. Geotechnical and geophysical investigation.
4. Preliminary assessment.
B. The PROJECT does not include the following services:
1. Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis.
2. Computational fluid dynamic modeling.
3. Preliminary design (60%).
4. Final design (90% and 100%).
5. Bid phase services.
6. Construction phase services.
7. Environmental evaluation or permitting services.

surrounding topography. The general area of interest includes the embankment, left and right
abutments, and approximately 200-feet of the downstream channel.
2. Set at least three (3) temporary benchmarks at the dam site. The temporary benchmarks will be
referenced to NAD83 for horizontal control and the NAVD88 vertical datum.
3. Provide a topographic survey within an approximate 2.5 acre area of interest along the
embankment and immediate vicinity of the downstream channel. The survey shall include all
existing features such as utilities, valves, asphalt, tops and toes of slope, power poles, and other
visible features.
4. Deliverable shall include an AutoCAD file showing all of the features located, ground elevations,
including one-foot contours.
5. Provide northing, easting, and elevation of up to four (4) geotechnical borings performed by FNI
as part of the geotechnical field exploration.
�a
Assumptions:
1. Survey up to 4 geotechnical boring locations, which may require a separate site visit.
Deliverables:
1. Electronic base file in AutoCAD.
TASK III — GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATION
1. Geotechnical Field Exploration:
a. ENGINEER shall select and mark up to four (4) boring locations at the project site. Notify
Texas 811 and appropriate City department(s) to request location and marking of existing
underground utilities prior to the field exploration.
b. ENGINEER shall subcontract with a geotechnical drilling contractor to drill up to four (4)
borings along the embankment crest and downstream toe of slope (total drilled length
approximately 100 vertical feet). Subsurface samples will be collected intermittently using
3-inch diameter tubes for cohesive soils and a 2-inch diameter split-spoon sample in
conjunction with the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) for intermediate and non-cohesive
soils. Rock and rock-like materials will be sampled using an NX core barrel and/or tested in-
situ using a TxDOT Cone Penetration Test, as appropriate for the material.
c. Groundwater observations within the borings will be recorded at the time of drilling and
completion of drilling and sampling.
d. At the completion of drilling and sampling, the borings will be backfilled with cement-
bentonite grout to the ground surface at the completion of field activities. The borings
drilled through the pavement (embankment crest) will be patched at the surface with similar
material.
e. Traffic control will be provided by the CITY and may require temporarily closing one or two
lanes of traffic on Cesar Chavez Drive. Traffic control needs will be sent to the CITY for
approval prior to the field work.
f. Provide an Engineer or Geologist experienced in logging borings to direct the drilling and
logging of the borings. Visual classification of the subsurface stratigraphy shall be provided
per the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
2. Laboratory Testing:
a. Testing shall be performed on samples obtained from the borings to determine soil
classification and pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface materials. FNI will
select samples for laboratory testing, assign tests, and review the test results. Testing will
be performed by a geotechnical testing sub-contractor.
b. Laboratory tests will be assigned based on the specific subsurface materials encountered
during exploration. Test type and quantity may vary, but are expected to include:
i. Classification tests (liquid and plastic limits and percent passing the No. 200 sieve).
ii. Moisture content.
iii. Grain Size Analysis.

i. Electrical resistivity (ERT) measurement along a line running downstream of the
embankment to provide a general stratigraphic profile of the foundation material.
ii. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) of the embankment and downstream slope paving
to identify and spatially map voids or other anomalies withing the structure.
iii. Bathymetric survey of the impounded lake from the MacKenzie Park Dam upstream
to the crossing of MacKenzie Park Road. This information will be utilized to
determine maximum storage of the embankment with respect to TCEQ
jurisdictional determination.

e. Upstream concrete face
f. Pavement
g. Downstream concrete face
h. Downstream valve control
i. Downstream slope paving
3. Determine if the MacKenzie Park Dam is jurisdictional under the authority of the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) based on the approximate measurements from
the field and topographic data (see Task II). MacKenzie Park Dam is assumed to be a low hazard
structure. No breach analysis will be performed.
4. Perform a geotechnical engineering analysis, which will include the following.
a. Discussion of subsurface conditions and soil properties indicated by the field and laboratory
work, and the implications for design.
b. Seepage and slope stability analysis for different loading conditions (end of construction,
steady-state seepage, and rapid drawdown) for existing and up to two (2) conceptual
alternatives. One maximum section through the dam embankment will be analyzed. Shear
strength parameters for the materials encountered will be determined based on shear
strength testing, soil classification testing, published correlations, and engineering
judgment.
c. Results of the geotechnical analysis will be documented in the PAR.
5. Develop up to two (2) conceptual alternatives to repair or modify the existing embankment.
Develop plan and profile views for the two (2) conceptual alternatives, as appropriate. Develop
opinions of probable construction costs (OPCC) for the two (2) conceptual alternatives. The
OPCC will be developed in general accordance with the Association for Advancement of Cost
Estimating (AACE) guidelines for a Class 4/5 estimate appropriate for feasibility assessment and
�
planning purposes. The conceptual alternatives will be summarized in the PAR.
6. Prepare a PAR to document the TCEQ jurisdictional determination, field investigation and
preliminary assessment of MacKenzie Park Dam. The report will document the conditions of all
visible structures and outline recommendations for any needed maintenance and repair items.
The PAR will also summarize findings from the geotechnical and conceptual alternatives
analysis. Any additional investigation or testing needed to further refine the conceptual
alternatives will be addressed in the PAR. An electronic version (PDF) of the draft PAR will be
submitted to the CITY for review. A final electronic copy (PDF) will be submitted after addressing
CITY comments.
Assumptions:
2. Participate in one (1) review meeting (virtual) with the CITY to go over the Draft PAR.
Deliverables:
3. Draft PAR (PDF format).
4. Final PAR (PDF format).
