The purpose of this survey is to collect bathymetric data to develop an updated elevation-area-capacity table. All maps generated from this survey are related to this purpose,and the TWDB makes no representation or assumes any liability if this information is used for any other purposes, such as boating maps. • City of Corpus Christi (CITY) is the ultimate beneficiary of the data to be collected under this study.The Hydrographic Survey Program is a non-profit, user-funded program within the TWDB. It was established to provide essential information at an affordable rate. In an effort to keep costs to a minimum,basic needs were identified and are presented in the Specifications section below. Should the CITY require analysis beyond that identified in the basic contract, information can be provided at an additional cost as identified in the Budget section. LOCATION OF STUDY The LAKE is located in San Patricio,Jim Wells,and Live Oak Counties on the Nueces River (Nueces River Basin), four miles southwest of Mathis,Texas. The CITY owns the water rights. The LAKE is owned and operated by the City. The LAKE has a surface area of 18,700 acres at the current water surface elevation of 94.0 feet(NGVD'29)according to the 2013 TWDB survey. SURVEY PLAN,SPECIFICATIONS,AND ANALYSES Surface acreages will be based on Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles, if available. Positioning on the lake surface will be established utilizing Differential Global Positioning System(DGPS)with an estimated resolution of one meter or better. Survey data will be collected from survey lines designed at no more than 500 feet spacing.These lines will be followed to the.extent possible as permitted by obstructions. Positioning and sounding data will be collected and stored electronically at the rate of one measurement every second. TWDB represents the accuracy of the area where data was collected. The model of the lake bottom is mathematically interpolated between collected points by accepted engineering practices,and is a mathematical estimate of the actual bottom. Analyses of the survey data will include: (1)an elevation-area-capacity table of the lake, acceptable to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, with definition of 0.1 feet; (2)a bottom contour map with definition of 5 feet, depending on legibility; and(3)a shaded relief plot of the lake bottom. The TWDB will provide a copy of the report text and elevation-area-capacity table to the CITY for review and comment prior to preparation of the final report.The CITY must submit written comments on the draft report text and elevation-area-capacity table within 60 days of receipt. If no comments are received by the TWDB within sixty days from receipt the TWDB may finalize the report.The TWDB will address any legitimate questions regarding accuracy in writing within thirty days of receipt,and the TWDB will address the comments in the final report. Three hard copies and one(1)electronic copy of the final report will be provided to the CITY along with the digital data. Additional copies of the reports will be provided at the TWDB Contract No. 1548011865 Attachment A.Page 1 of 3 • • cost of$50.00 per copy. All data from the survey will be stored for future reference on TWDB computers and backup up on tape, CD or DVD. The elevation-area-capacity table will be delivered as a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet. A Triangulated Irregular Network(TIN)Model will be created using a mass points file, from bathymetric data collected during the survey. All vertical data will be adjusted and referenced to lake gage datum(USGS 08210500 Lk Corpus Christi nr Mathis, TX). The horizontal datum will be referenced to NAD83 State Plane,Texas North Central Zone. These procedures will be described in the final report. SURVEY SCHEDULE The TWDB will schedule the field survey to begin on an agreed date after the contract has been signed and to be completed in 30—45 days after commencement. The first day will be spent meeting the CITY representative,visually surveying the lake conditions,and finding and checking the condition of boat ramps. The survey will begin after the completion of these activities. Pool elevation,weather, and condition of equipment are some of the possible factors that could affect the actual time of performing the survey on the scheduled date. The TWDB will contact the CITY, the week prior to the survey to confirm the proposed dates. • Confirmation by the CITY's representative will signify the CITY's approval that the survey be conducted at the current lake elevation. If any delays are anticipated, the TWDB will reschedule the survey as soon as possible. The new dates will be determined with the approval of the CITY. ON-SITE STORAGE The CITY shall provide a secure locked enclosure for storage of the survey vessel(s) if the TWDB deems necessary. The secured area may be a fenced enclosure. The enclosed, secured structure will need a vertical clearance of sufficient height to allow storage of the survey vessel(s)on its trailer, or approximately 12 feet. TWDB personnel traveling in marked State vehicles should have unlimited access to the area during the performance of the field survey. COST ESTIMATE a. Survey Cost. Standard charges for the cost of the survey and report are proposed as lump sum fees in accordance with the recorded surface areas and the computed cost shown in paragraph b. below. A contingency fee may be charged for navigational hazards. The total survey cost shall not exceed $43,518.00 b. Hydrographic Survey Program Cost Computation. The Texas Water Development Board computes Standard Charges for Volumetric Surveys utilizing the following formula: Base Rate=-0.0000016 x (Area)2+ 1.15 x(Area) + $20,500.00 (Area is the surface area of the lake at the time of the survey, in acres and Rate is the proposed cost of the survey). The LAKE has a surface area of 18,700 acres at elevation 94.0 feet above msl. The estimated base rate is therefore$41,446.00 The cost of the TWDB Contract No. 1548011865 Attachment A.Page 2 of 3 survey and report are proposed as lump sum fees in accordance with the recorded surface areas and the standard rate schedule and represents the typical charges for a "standardized" underwater bathymetric survey for a given size lake and associated reporting of the findings. This standard charge schedule assumes: a surface acreage of the lake at normal pool elevation; an underwater bathymetric (volumetric)survey only; a 500-foot maximum width between the surveying transects;acceptable weather conditions;no significant surface or sub-surface obstructions to navigation; no unusual • owner-induced delays once the field mobilization and survey effort has been initiated;a coordination meeting with the CITY's Representative;and a standard survey report consisting of a description of the lake and previously-known physical and storage conditions, description of the hydrographic survey methodology,narrative and tabular descriptions of the newly surveyed physical parameters of the lake bathymetry and storage capacity,representative cross-sections of the lake survey,a two-dimensional contour map and shaded relief plot of the lake bathymetry,and associated digital files of the survey results. A contingency fee not to exceed 5%of the base rate,$2,072.00,may be charged for navigational obstructions encountered during the field survey. These obstructions such as submerged trees and vegetation, sand bars,marinas, boat docks and piers delay the data collection process. c. Cost Summary Base rate(18,700 surface-acres) $41,446 Contingency: Navigational obstructions not to exceed $2,072 Total $43,518 SUMMARY Based on the above rate schedule, and assuming the lake's surface area at the time of the survey is 18,700 surface acres,the maximum total cost of this survey will be$43,518.00(including $2,072.00 contingency for navigational obstructions). The final cost analysis will be conducted at the conclusion of the survey. The TWDB shall furnish invoices to the CITY as follows: (1)An invoice for 75%of the cost of the survey upon completion of the data collection and(2)An invoice for the remaining 25%of the cost of the survey upon completion of each lake survey report.
