CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
The City of Corpus Christi, a Texas home rule municipal corporation, P.O. Box 9277,
Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas 78469-9277 (City) acting through its duly authorized
City Manager or Designee (Director of Engineering Services) and URBAN ENGINEERING,
a Texas partnership, (Architect/Engineer - A/E), hereby agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF PROJECT: Salt Flats Levee System (Project No. 3428)
The current Salt Flats Levee System has maintenance issues that include tree removal and
side slope restoration, flap gate replacement and security at gate structures. The
improvements are necessary to ensure that the system will function as originally designed.
Design, construction plans and bid documents will be prepared to construct as quickly as
practical the necessary repairs to afford the level of protection provided in the original levee
design.
The second part of this project is the preparation of a comprehensive guidance document
for the re-certification of the Salt Flats Levee System. The re-certification is necessary if
these structures are to be considered when FEMA produces the updates to the area's base
flood maps. Failure to certify these levees would result in increased flood insurance for
existing structures within the Salt Flats and downtown area, as well as an increase in the
required minimum floor elevations for new structures.
The guidance document will include detailed surveys, geotechnical investigations,
preliminary designs for structure repairs and cost estimates for required improvements.
Additionally, the document will provide suggestions for potential grants for necessary
improvements as well as an action plan which will assist the City in scheduling capital
expenditures on the system.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The A/E hereby agrees, at its own expense, to perform professional services necessary to
review and prepare plans, specifications, and bid and contract documents. In addition, A/E
will provide monthly status updates (project progress or delays, gantt charts presented with
monthly invoices) and provide contract administration services, as described in Exhibit "A"
and "A-1 ", to complete the Project. Exhibit "A-1" provides supplemental description
of services to Exhibit "A" and is not intended to supersede services described in
Exhibit "A". Work will not begin on Additional Services until requested by the A/E (provide
breakdown of costs, schedules), and written authorization is provided by the Director of
Engineering Services.
A/E services will be "Services for Construction Projects"- (Basic Services for Construction
Projects")which are shown and are in accordance with "Professional Engineering Services-
A Guide to the Selection and Negotiation Process, 1993" a joint publication of the
Consulting Engineer's Council of Texas and Texas Society of Professional Engineers. For
purposes of this contract, certain services listed in this publication as Additional Services

SALT FLATS LEVEE SYSTEM
(PROJECT NO. 3428)
TASK LIST
Task 1 -Short Term Improvements:
The current levee system has maintenance issues to include tree removal and side slope
restoration, flap gate replacement and security at gate structures. The improvements are
necessary to insure that the system will function as originally designed. Design,
construction plans and bid documents would be prepared to put in place, as quickly as
practical, those repairs necessary to afford the level of protection as provided in the original
levee design.
A. Meet with Staff to identify project goals, timetables, and review existing drainage
issues for project implementation.
B. Request and coordinate line locates of existing utilities in and around area of
proposed improvements. Develop an inventory of existing conditions and perform
the required field investigations to define specific areas to be maintained.
C. Meet with Storm Water Staff to discuss known maintenance issues.
D. Develop design plans and specifications to the City's format.
E. Develop a traffic control plan to be incorporated in the final construction drawings to
the City's format.
F. Provide project control and quality review of senior staff to insure project quality and
completeness.
G. Develop project cost estimate, provide all submittals to the City and meet with staff
to review draft submittals and final plans and make City requested amendments.
H. Prepare addenda, attend bid opening, review bids and provide recommendation to
City.
Attend pre-construction meeting, review Contract Documents and respond to
Contractor's questions.
J. Provide monthly status reports to the City.
K. Field Investigation (Additional Service). Explore and inspect-the storm waterflood .
gates and flap gates. Collect data necessary for design of replacement or retrofits.
L. Survey work (Additional Service). Provide necessary survey work to prepare
construction plans for proposed work

H:\HOME\Rachelle\GEN\Drainage\3428-Salt Flats Levee System\Exhibit A-1.doc
M. Construction observation (Additional Service). Provide project administration
services during construction (periodic visits to the project site) to insure compliance
of Contractor with plans and specifications and, upon completion, make final
inspections as well as an inspection after one year of completion for project
warranty requirement.
Task 2 -Salt Flats Levee System FEMA Certification Guidance Document:
A. Meet with the City Staff to discuss the strategies that the City is willing to consider to
address FEMA's requirements for inclusion of the Salt Flats levee system in the
proposed updates to the FEMA base flood maps.
B. Conduct field and laboratory investigations to obtain the data necessary to evaluate the
condition of the levee system consisting of test borings and piezometer installations.
Soil samples from the test boring will be tested in the laboratory to determine their index
and engineering properties. The stratigraphy, engineering properties and piezometer
data will be analyzed in Task D to evaluate stability, settlement and seepage conditions
along the levee system.
C. Evaluation of the likely impact to the base flood elevation and insurance rates to
structures within protected area if the levee system is not certified.
D. Evaluate and make recommendations on the existing levee system's deficiencies
pursuant to CFR65.10, and USACE PL 84-99 with respect to freeboard, closure,
embankment protection, embankment and foundation stability, settlement and interior
drainage, as well as identify additional deficiencies for certification if the FEMA base
flood elevations remain the same or are raised 1, 2 or 3 feet above current.
E. Provide map of the flood prevention structures affecting the basin. Provide conceptual
designs for 2-3 alternatives with cost estimates for scenarios discussed in Task D.
Also, evaluate the merits of improving the levee system to protect against the current
500-year flood event. The seawall will be generally discussed here as a factor
contributing to the effectiveness of any proposed improvements to the Salt Flats levee
system.
F. Explore and provide information to the City on what State and Federal grant funds may
be available for design construction and/or certification of the proposed modifications.
G. Develop an action plan that would include a schedule for design, construction and
certification.
H. Provide public presentations to the Council and affected property owners to assist the
City staff in conveying the importance and cost of the above certification.
