a. Provide suitable documents and field notes necessary to acquire temporary and/or permanent easements for construction, where required by Project Manager. All field surveying and field notes shall be prepared in accordance with procedures established by the City of Dallas Surveyor as shown in DWU Water and Wastewater Procedures and Design Manual Appendix D and E.
Geotechnical Report
a. Perform geotechnical investigation for proposed design in the project area. The geotechnical engineer will take reasonable precautions to avoid damage to utilities and flatwork at the sites but will only be responsible for damages at the sites caused by their negligent acts. Submit one copy of sealed geotechnical report to the OWNER with the preliminary design plans.
b. The geotechnical report shall include, but not be limited to the following:
1) A subsurface investigation consisting of boring at the erosion site to observe general site conditions, explore the subsurface materials, obtain samples for laboratory analysis and observe short-term groundwater levels as encountered during the drilling of the borings.
SCOPE OF WORK 26-241E 15 of 16 July 2026
2) Laboratory testing on selected samples to classify soil and rock types and to determine the engineering properties of the subsurface materials.
3) Soil classification based on laboratory tests, estimation of subgrade support characteristics and recommended subgrade stabilization using lime for a rigid pavement.
4) Utilize existing geotechnical data available from the City for improvements.
5) Show geotechnical boring locations on the plan view of the construction drawings and cross reference to the geotechnical report.
3. Evaluation of Green and Sustainable Stormwater Initiatives:
Consultant shall evaluate and consider the applicability and feasibility of environmentally friendly solutions to all stormwater improvement projects. Consultant shall evaluate “green” and sustainable stormwater infrastructure alternatives in design and construction for erosion control, flood mitigation and stormwater improvement projects. These may include, but are not limited to the following, as applicable:
a. Identify opportunities for high-impact, cost-effective implementation of “green” stormwater management and sustainable materials.
b. Natural erosion prevention and potential water quality benefits, e.g. vegetation and turf reinforcement; strategic placement of boulders, crushed concrete in lieu of gabions; alternative materials to traditional concrete and rock gabion baskets.
etc.
c. Mitigating storm flows by retaining, slowing, or reducing runoff of stormwater upstream.
d. Framework for designing, developing, managing, and maintaining sustainable and resilient landscapes and supporting nature-positive design.
e. Evaluation of sustainable practices and designs under the framework of Envision, with recommendation of benefit and cost of implementation and pursuit of certification.
Consultant shall provide DWU with a technical memorandum of their findings regarding any opportunities to provide “green” and sustainable design, specification, and construction alternatives for erosion control, flood mitigation, and stormwater infrastructure improvements and relate to City of Dallas CECAP goals where applicable. Consultant shall provide adequate justification if no environmentally friendly solution is deemed practical due to site impacts, structural needs, constructability, financial and/or operational issues, etc.
4. Environmental Services
Environmental due diligence for each project location should be made to develop designs and specifications for areas impacted when required.
5. Water/Wastewater Main Design Based on design and utility information determined during sections C.1 and C.2, the consulting engineer will coordinate and identify additional services to adjust or improve Water/Wastewater systems if applicable within the project areas. Additional services will be based on City direction. Design of Water/Wastewater systems are not included in this scope.
SCOPE OF WORK 26-241E 16 of 16 July 2026
E. ADDITIONAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
1. Contract Services
Provide the following contract services:
a. Prepare Special Provisions and Special Technical Specification for use in Bid Specification documents, including documents consistent with TWDB State Revolving Fund requirements. DWU will prepare general Contract Specifications.
Special Provisions are only those specifications not specifically in the DWU Standard Specifications Manual, NCTCOG Public Works Construction Standards, or the City of Dallas Addendum to the NCTCOG Public Works Construction Standard.
b. Prepare Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Costs and Bid Item tabulations consistent with the DWU Bid Item and Cost Estimating Manual, Latest Edition.
This shall be provided to the Project Manager in Excel format as shown in the Probable Cost Template at:
http://dallascityhall.com/departments/waterutilities/Pages/dwu_design_standards.

c. Provide other required construction services as requested by DWU. This shall include but not be limited to: plan revisions, submittal reviews, periodic site visits, review of proposed change orders, attend pre-bid meetings, etc.
d. After completion of the design, the Consultant will be required to attend what is referred to as a “Project Partnering Session” wherein the Consultant will be expected to provide a one to two-hour presentation of the various Project Segments – the design considerations, reasons for any unusual designs, discussions of any expected construction difficulties, etc. In attendance at this meeting will be the Selected Prime Contractor, key Sub-Contractors, DWU personnel, and other interested parties. This meeting will take place at a time and place to be determined, but will usually happen from one to two months, but as many as 12 months, after the Prime Contractor has been selected through the bid process. This meeting will generally require 3 to 4 hours of participation for two to three of the Consultant’s design personnel.
e. Provide Project Manager with final information for Database through approved combined spreadsheet. DWU Project Manager will provide this form to the Consultant.
f. Deliver one set of sealed Mylar design drawings and special specifications to Project Manager.
g. Furnish files of the scanned images of the final sealed drawings and specifications with the construction records posting on a CD to Project Manager.
F. PROJECT SCHEDULE
Phase I Preliminary Investigation and Design Report, if needed (4 months)
Phase II Final Construction Plans and Technical Specifications (8 months)
Phase III Services During Bidding, if Required (4-6 months)
Phase IV Services During Construction, if Required (18 months)
