investigations or any special surveys or special testing which, in the opinion
of the Engineer, may be required for the proper execution of the Project;
and arrange with the Owner for the conduct of such investigations and
tests. (The performance of these investigations and tests is not a part of
the Engineer's basic services, and compensation therefore is not included
in the Basic Charge; it may be performed by the Engineer, by agreement
with the Owner, in which case compensation shall be determined by the
applicable portions of Section VI A).
2. Furnish to the Owner, where required by the circumstances of the
assignment, the engineering data necessary for applications for routine
permits by local, state, and federal authorities (as distinguished from
detailed applications and supporting documents for govemment grants -in-
aid, state loan programs, planning advances or to meet the requirements
of the special programs of the federal government).
3. Perform field surveys to collect information which in the opinion of the
Engineer, is required in the design of the Project. Construction staking for
the Construction Improvement is not included in the Basic Charge.
4. Prepare detailed specifications and contract drawings, in pencil on paper,
for construction authorized by the Owner. These designs shall in all
respects combine the application of sound engineering principles with a
high degree of economy, and shall be submitted to the applicable state and
federal agencies for approval.
5. Prepare detailed cost estimates and proposals of authorized construction,
which shall include summaries of bid items and quantities which will be
based, wherever practical, on the unit price system of bidding. The
2
Engineer shall not be required to guarantee the accuracy of these
estimates.
6. Furnish the Owner all necessary copies of approved plans, specifications,
notices to bidders, and proposals. All sets of plans and specifications in
excess of twenty -five (25) are to be paid for separately. Additional sets will
be paid for in accordance with Attachment No. 3 - Hourly Rate Schedule.
7. Provide information on utilities to be relocated in connection with the
project. The Owner will provide excavation to determine location and depth
of underground water and sewer lines. Utilities to be relocated by others

shall be included in the construction contract.
8. Provide a letter for the Owner's signature to each utility operating within the
City of Round Rock advising them of the project and describing any known
relocations to be performed by that utility and setting forth a proposed
construction schedule. This letter and a complete set of plans shall be
delivered to each utility by the Engineer. The Engineer shall provide timely
assistance and location stakes as necessary for utility relocations to assure
that utility relocations do not delay the project.
9. Provide easement and right -of -way descriptions to the Owner in conjunction
with submission of final plans. These will be provided in the form of field
notes and drawing of the affected properties. These services will be paid
for in accordance with Attachment No.3 - Hourly Rate Schedule.

Schedule.
C. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
1. Assist the Owner in the advertisement of the Project for bids.
2. Assist the Owner in the opening and tabulating of bids for construction of
the Project, and recommend to the Owner as to the proper action on all
proposals received.
3
3. Assist in the preparation of formal Contract Documents for the contracts.
4. Make periodic visits to the site (as distinguished from the continuous
services of a resident Project Representative described in Subparagraph 6
below) to observe the progress and quality of the executed work and to
determine in general if the work is proceeding in accordance with the
Contract Documents. In performing this service, the Engineer will not be
required to make exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections to check the
quality or quantity of the work or material; he will not be responsible for the
techniques and sequences of construction or the safety precautions
incident thereto, and he will not be responsible or liable in any degree for
the contractors' failure to perform the construction work in accordance with
the Contract Documents. During visits to the construction site, and on the
basis of the Engineer's on -site observations as an experienced and
qualified design professional, he will keep the Owner informed of the extent
of the progress of the work, and advise the Owner of material and
substantial defects and deficiencies in the work of contractors which are
discovered by the Engineer or otherwise brought to the Engineer's attention
in the course of construction, and may, on behalf of the Owner, exercise
whatever rights the Owner may have to disapprove work and materials as
failing to conform to the Contract Documents.
5. Consult and advise with the Owner; issue all instructions to the contractor
requested by the Owner; and prepare routine change orders as required.
6. If specifically authorized by the Owner in writing, furnish the services of
resident Project Representatives, and other field personnel for continuous
on- the -site observation of construction and for the performance of required
construction layout surveys. (This service is not a part of the Engineer's
basic services, and compensation therefore is not included in the Basic
Charge; if provided, compensation shall be determined under Section VI A.)
The authority and duties of such Resident Project Representatives are
limited to examining the material fumished and observing the work done,
and to reporting their findings to the Engineer. The Engineer will use the
usual degree of care and prudent judgment in the selection of competent
Project Representatives, and the Engineer will use diligence to see that the
Project Representatives are on the job to perform their required duties. It
is agreed, however, that the Engineer does not underwrite, guarantee, or
insure the work done by the contractors, and since it is the contractors'
responsibility to perform the work in accordance with the Contract
Documents, the Engineer is not responsible or liable for the contractors'
failure to do so, and, so long as Engineer has exercised the usual degree
of care and prudent judgment in selecting Project Representatives and has
used diligence to see that they are on the job to perform the work, failure
4
by any Project Representatives or other personnel engaged in on- the -site
observation to discover defects or deficiencies in the work of the
contractors shall never relieve the contractors of liability therefore or subject
the Engineer to any liability for any such defect or deficiencies.
7. Review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop drawings, laboratory, shop
and mill tests of materials and equipment and other data which the
contractor is required to submit, only for conformance with the design
concept of the Project and compliance with the information given by the
Contract Documents; and assemble written guarantees which are required
by the Contract Documents.
8. Review monthly and final estimates for payments to contractors, and furnish
to the Owner any necessary certifications as to payments to contractors
and suppliers in a form acceptable to the City.
9. Conduct, in company with the Owner, a final inspection of the Project for
conformance with the design concept of the Project and compliance with
the Contract Documents, and approve in writing final payment to the
contractors.
10. Revise contract drawings, with the assistance of the resident Project
Representatives, or the Owners representative, to provide record drawings
of the completed Project. Furnish one set of reproducible drawings and
one set of prints of there revised drawings to the Owner.
SECTION 1I1
AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICES
No professional services of any nature shall be undertaken by the Engineer under
this Agreement until he has received written authorization from the Owner.
SECTION IV
PERIOD OF SERVICE
This Agreement shall be effective upon execution by the Owner and the Engineer,
and shall remain in force until terminated under the provisions hereinafter provided in
Section X.
5
SECTION V
COORDINATION WITH THE OWNER
The Engineer shall hold periodic conferences with the Owner, or its
representatives, to the end that the Project, as perfected, shall have full benefit of the
Owner's experience and knowledge of existing needs and facilities, and be consistent
with its current policies and construction standards. To implement this coordination, the
Owner shall make available to the Engineer, for use in planning the Project, all existing
plans, maps, field notes, statistics, computations, and other data in his possession relative
to existing facilities and to the Project.
SECTION VI
THE ENGINEER'S COMPENSATION
For and in consideration of the services to be rendered by the Engineer, the
Owner shall pay, and the Engineer shall receive the compensation hereinafter set forth,
for the Preliminary, Design, and Construction Phases of the work and for Special
Assignments and Services not included in these phases. All remittances by Owner of
such compensation shall either be mailed or delivered to the Engineer's office at 301
Nesters Crossing, Suite 100, Round Rock, Texas 78681. Where the compensation is
based on a percentage of construction cost, the charge for each separate phase shall
be based on the "Construction Cost" of all work authorized by the Owner at one time, and
handled by the Engineer in accordance with this Agreement. Curve "A" as shown on
Attachment No. 1 shall be applicable for this project.
"Construction Cost" is defined as the total cost to the Owner for the execution of
the work authorized at one time and handled in each separate phase of engineering
services, excluding fees or other cost for engineering and legal services, the cost of land,
rights -of -way, legal and administrative expenses; but including the direct cost to the
Owner of all construction contracts, items of construction, including labor, materials and
equipment required for the completed work (including extras) and the total value at site
of project of all labor, materials, and equipment purchased or furnished directly by the
Owner for the Project.
The aggregate of all sums paid to the Engineer for each Phase of Construction will
equal one hundred percent (100 %) of the basic compensation determined from the actual
total construction costs. If the designed facilities exceed the available funding after
receiving bids or negotiating a contract price, then the facilities which are deleted will be
paid for at a later date when they are awarded for construction. these facilities will be
considered an individual period of construction and payment will be in an amount equal
to a percentage of the "construction cost" of this separate Project. For example: If the
6
available funds will only build 90% of the designed facilities, the fee for the awarded
construction will be paid as described herein. When the remaining 10% of the work is
awarded, it will be considered a separate Project and a percentage form the curve based
on the 10% Project amount will be used to pay the basic compensation. Considering this
as an individual Project, it will be necessary to compensate the Engineer in this manner
because of the extra work involved in the preparation of separate contract documents,
organization of plans, construction administration on the delayed Project, and the delay
in payment for the Engineering Services rendered.
In the event that proposals for construction of any of the work authorized in the
Design Phase are received within 90 days after submission of completed contract
drawings and specifications to the Owner by the Engineer, the charge for the
corresponding services in the Preliminary Phase shall be adjusted to the "construction
cost" as reflected by the lowest acceptable proposal, or lowest bona fide bid, if no
contract is awarded. Where no proposal or bona fide bids are received, the Engineer's
estimates shall be the basis for final payment for these two phases. No reduction shall
be made from the Basic Charge on account of penalties or liquidated damages or other
sums withheld from contractor's payments.
A. PRELIMINARY PHASE:
Payment for services in the Preliminary Phase shall be made to the Engineer in a
sum equal to a percentage of the "construction cost" of the work authorized by the Owner
in this Phase of the Project. This percentage for the Preliminary Phase shall be computed
as ten percent (10 %) of the Basic Charge, which Basic Charge is defined by Attachment
No.1.
The classification of the construction work (Classification "A" or "B') for the purpose
of applying the alternate Basic Charge is that given in Attachment No.2 - classification of
Construction Work.
Final Payment for services in the Preliminary Phase shall be payable upon
submission to the Owner of the required report, sketches, and estimates, and upon his
acceptance, which shall be within thirty (30) days after submission.
If a written report is not required, this payment will be due with and in addition to
payment stated in the Design Phase.
B: DESIGN PHASE
Payment for services in the Design Phase shall be made to the Engineer in a sum
equal to a percentage of the "construction cost" of the work authorized by the Owner in
this phase of the Project. This percentage for the Design Phase shall be computed as
seventy -five percent (75 %) of the Basic Charge, which Basic charge is defined by
Attachment No.1.
7
The classification of the construction work (Classification "A" or "B ") for the purpose
of applying the alternate Basic Charge is that given in Attachment No.2 - Classification
of Construction Work.
Final payment for services authorized in the Design Phase shall be due upon the
completion of these services and upon the Owners acceptance, which shall be within
thirty (30) days after submission. When the Project is funded through the sale of
municipal bonds or through grant funds, payments shall not be due until the funds are
in the Owner's possession.
C. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Payment for services in the Construction Phase shall be made to the Engineer in
a sum equal to a percentage of "construction cost' of the work authorized by the Owner
in this Phase of the Project. This percentage for the Construction Phase shall be
computed as fifteen percent (15°%) of the Basic Charge, which Basic Charge is defined
in Attachment No.1.
The classification of the construction work (Classification "A" or "B ") is that given
in Attachment No.2 - Classification of Construction Work.
This sum will be paid in monthly installments in proportion to the construction work
completed, on the basis of the Engineer's estimated prepared for monthly payments to
contractors, plus the actual value of all materials and equipment purchased or furnished
directly by the Owner for the Project. Upon completion of all work authorized in the
Construction Phase the Engineer will be paid the remainder of the charge for this Phase.
D. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS AND SERVICES NOT INCLUDED IN ABOVE
PERCENTAGE CHARGES
The charges above described in the Preliminary, Design and Construction Phases
shall provide compensation to the Engineer for all services called for under this
Agreement to be performed by him, or under his direction, except the services set forth
below. These excluded services and Special Assignments, and the compensation to be

RE: Proposed Lake Creek Drive Easement Storm Sewer
This memorandum is written as narrative for the attached proposal and cost estimate for
a drainage improvement project titled Lake Creek Drive Easement Storm Sewer.
The proposed project consists of the construction of a 42" inch storm sewer from Lake
Creek through Lake Creek West Subdivision crossing Bonwood Drive, across Lake
Creek Drive to the Round Rock High School Tract. This enclosed storm sewer system
will replace the existing open drainage system which accepts storm water from the
southeast corner of the Round Rock High School Tract with a concrete valley gutter
crossing Lake Creek Drive and then the storm flows are conveyed in a concrete flume
to Bonwood Drive, crossing Bonwood Drive in the street and then on to Lake Creek in
another concrete flume. This existing open system creates a hazardous traffic situation
because the storm drainage from approximately 40 acres of the High School Tract
concentrates and surface flows across Lake Creek Drive which is the primary collector
street serving the High School.
M:1'„ "P I • 1,1 This project would collect this surface flow at the southeast corner of the school property
r hrrr,' s , ',+,,,,,• and convey this flow as well as storm water from Lake Creek Drive and Bonwood Drive
crr,r,• r.' rra,.•r 4 to Lake Creek. This project Independent r . at project would be of mutual benefit to the Round Rock Inde endent
1+ >>+ ' + ++ + + +� ' ++ School District and the City of Round Rock by eliminating the hazardous situation caused
'' by the surface flow of this storm water across Lake Creek Drive and Bonwood drive as
1r• Ph well as eliminating a drainage nuisance to the school and adjoining property owners. This

project is located in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone and the Edwards Aquifer rules
are applicable. I recommend a request for exemption be made contending this is not a
regulated development because there is no change in any land use associated with this
project. It consists of a maintenance upgrade of an existing surface drainage system to
an enclosed system.
The cost estimate for these proposed improvements is $66,500. Because of the mutual
benefits derived by this project for the Round Rock Independent School District and the
City of Round Rock a cost sharing project would seem appropriate.

SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, February 27, 1992
ITEM: 9D. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a
Engineering Contract for Lake Creek Drive Drainage
Improvements.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
A drainage problem has existed for many years between Round Rock High School and
Lake Creek. Water crosses Lake Creek Drive at a valley gutter, proceeds down a concrete
channel, across Bonwood Cove, into another concrete channel, then discharges in Lake Creek.
The channels are too small and the Lake Creek Dr. valley gutter causes traffic problems. Three
engineering firms submitted RFP's on the project. All three were qualified to do the work.
Fisher, Hagood and Hejl, a Round Rock firm, is recommended for the project. The cost
estimate is $60,000, therefore, the engineering portion will be near $7,200 plus about $1,200
in surveying. RRISD is paying up to $30,000 for this project.
