SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR:
DESIGN OF VINTAGE TOWNSHIP DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
GENERAL:
Engineer Services for Design of Vintage Township Drainage Improvements (the "Project")
The SWMP team completed a preliminary concept design for drainage improvements near the intersection
of 1171h Street and Trafalgar Avenue. The purpose of the proposed drainage improvements was to provide
inlet and pipe capacity to improve local flooding conditions in smaller, frequent storm events. The SWMP
team created an ICPR model, concept level (30%) design, and preliminary cost estimate and summarized the
recommended design in a memo. The memo has been included as Figure 1. The purpose of this project is to
prepare final engineering design documents, survey, SUE and geotechnical investigation to support the
design and bid phase services. Construction phase services including engineer of record, resident project
representative and onsite inspection may be added by amendment in the future.

Page 3 of 8
1) Survey
Establish horizontal and vertical survey control and perform topographic survey to establish base
maps depicting existing topographic features, right-of-way limits, drainage/hydrologic features
within the existing 117t" Street ROW for the limits of the described project
2) Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)
a. SUE work required for this project will be performed in general accordance with the
recommended practices and procedures described in ASCE Publication Cl/ASCE 38-02 (Standard
Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data). As described in the
mentioned ASCE publication, four levels have been established to describe the quality of utility
location and attribute information used on plans. The four quality levels are as follows:
b. Quality Level D (QL"D") — Information derived from existing records.
c. Quality Level C (QL"C") - QL"D" information supplemented with information obtained by
surveying visible above -ground utility features (i.e. valves, hydrants, meters, manhole covers,
etc.).
d. Quality Level B (QL"B") — Two-dimensional (x, y) information obtained through the application
and interpretation of non-destructive surface geophysical methods. Also known as "designating"
this quality level provides the horizontal position of subsurface utilities within approximately one
foot.
e. Quality Level A (QL"A") — Also known as "locating", this quality level provides precise three
dimensional (x, y, z) information at critical locations by exposing specific utilities. Non-destructive
vacuum excavation equipment is used to expose the utilities at specific points which are then
tied down by survey.
f. For this project, QL"B" SUE services as defined above will be provided. There will be five (5) QL
"A" test holes on utility lines as needed or requested by CITY.
3) Geotechnical Exploration
a. Subsurface Exploration
i. Select and mark 3 boring locations along 117th Street and notify Texas 811 and
appropriate City department(s) to request location and marking of existing
underground utilities prior to the field exploration.
ii. Exploratory core borings will be drilled within the roadway, which will require closing
one traffic lane during drilling. Traffic control including flagmen will be utilized to
route vehicles around the lane closure. Obtain ROW permit for drilling in roadway.
iii. Subcontract with a geotechnical drilling contractor to drill a total of 3 borings to a
depth of about 20 feet each. Samples will be collected using continuous flight augers
and either split -spoon or tube samplers. Rock, if encountered, will be tested insitu
using a TxDOT Cone Penetration Test, as appropriate for the material. At completion,
the boreholes will be backfilled with auger cuttings and the road surface patched.
iv. Provide an Engineer or Geologist experienced in logging borings to direct the drilling,
log the borings, and handle and transport the samples. Visual classification of the
subsurface stratigraphy shall be provided per the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS).
b. Laboratory Testing
L Testing will 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 subcontractor.
Page 4 of 8
ii. Laboratory tests will be assigned based on the specific subsurface materials
encountered during exploration. Test types and quantity may vary, but are expected
to include:
1. Classification tests (liquid and plastic limits and percent passing the no. 200
sieve or gradation)
2. Moisture content
3. Dry unit weight
4. Unconfined compressive strength
5. Soluble sulfate content and Lime Series pH
c. Engineering Analysis — Prepare a technical memorandum summary of the geotechnical
investigation to include:
L Appendix with the boring locations, boring logs, laboratory test results, and a key to
the symbols used.
ii. Discussion of subsurface conditions and soil properties indicated by the field and
laboratory data.
iii. General discussion of expected construction related issues.
iv. Earthwork related recommendations for use during development of plans and
specifications.
d. Design Support -The geotechnical group is available to provide support during design, on an
as -needed basis. The fee includes 8 hours of consulting time for these services. If included
in the fee, we recommend that these hours be included in the design portion of the fee and
not listed with the geotechnical services fee.
TIME OF COMPLETION: FNI is authorized to commence work on the Project upon execution of this
AGREEMENT and agrees to complete the services within eighteen (18) months.
If FNI's services are delayed through no fault of FNI, FNI shall be entitled to adjust contract schedule
consistent with the number of days of delay. In the event FNI asserts that it is entitled to additional time, it
shall provide notice to the OWNER as soon as reasonably practicable after the event allegedly causing such
delay shall occur ("Delay Event"), but in no event to exceed five (5) business days after the occurrence of the
Delay Event. FNI shall use and exercise all diligence to promptly remove or remediate such Delay Event. In
the event notice of the Delay Event shall not be provided as prescribed herein, FNI shall not be entitled to
relief from schedule as provided in this AGREEMENT. These delays may include but are not limited to delays
in OWNER or regulatory reviews, delays on the flow of information to be provided to FNI, except any delays
occasioned by subcontracts or sub consultants of FNI, and governmental approvals. These delays may result
in an adjustment to compensation.
