overhead and profit; and 3) reimbursement for direct non salary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. The Engineer shall provide a proposal that includes the
total fees for the project, which shall not be exceeded without prior City

schedule identified as an attachment to this agreement. The Project Schedule shall be
submitted in digital and paper form, in the Microsoft Project for Windows format. The
Project Schedule shall contain a complete schedule so that the Engineer's scope of
services under this contract can be accomplished within the specified time and contract
cost. The Project Schedule will provide specific work sequence and definite review
times by the City and the Engineer of the work performed. If the review time should

Re: Geotechnical Engineering Services
Widening of Old Alvin Road
From Plum Road to Knapp Road
Pearland, Texas
T erracon Document No. P92-1525G-QS
Dear Mr. Rodrigo:
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) understands we have been selected based on qualifications
to provide geotechnical engineering services for the above referenced project.. This letter outlines
our understanding of the scope of services to be perfonned by Terracon for this project and provides
an estimate of the cost of cur services.
A. PROJECT INFORMATION
Old Alvin Road between Plum Road and Knapp Road is to be improved from the ex:sting 2- fane
asphalt roadway with roadside ditches to a 4-lane concrete roadway with curb and gutter. and storm
sewers. The length of the section is apprcximately 1.6 miles. The depth of the storm sewers will be on
the order of 10 feet The infcrmation provided indicates that there will be an off-site det~ntion pond.
B. SCOPE OF SERVICES
A brief summary of the services to be provided by T erracon is provided in the following paragraphs.
Field Proqram. The field exploration is planned to include a total of21 borings. 18 borirgs to depths
of 15 feet along the roadway and 3 borings to depths of 20 feet in the proposed de:ention pone
area. The total drilling footage for this project will be 330 feet.
During drilling, test samples will be conected in general accordance with the appropriate ASTM
methods. Once the samples have been collected and classified in the field, they wHl be properly
prepared and placed in appropriate sample containers for transport to our laboratory. The borings
will be located by measuring distances and estimating angles from existing streets ant/or property
comers shown on drawings provided to us. Boring depths will be measured from existing grade.

We have not visited the site and assume that the site, including detention pond area, can be
accessed with standard truck mounted drilling equipment Also, this letter is based on the
assumption that all 21 borings are performed simultaneously. This proposal does not include
services associated with boundary and topographic survey work, site clearing or site access for
unusually soft or wet surface conditions. Terracon will notify the Texas One Call, a utility location
service, to locate the primary utilities. This utility location service will only locate utilities within
dedicated pubfic utility easements. If underground utilities are known to exist in the vicinity of the
borings, T erracon should 00 provided the opportunity to review utility pans to avoid the existing
Iines_
Laboratory Testina. The sample classifications will be reviewed by a geotechnical engineer in the
laboratory, and a laboratory-testing program will be assigned which will be specific to the project
requirements and the subsurface conditions observed. The testing program would include moisture
content, Atterberg limits, percent soil particles finer than No- 200 sieve and unconfined compression
tests, A California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is also planned to be performed in the lat:oratory. The
laboratory testing program will generally concur with the applicable ASTM standard procedures.
Enoineerino Report The results of our field and laboratory programs will be evaluated by a
registered professional geotechnicaJ engineer. Based on the results of our evaluation, an
engineering re~ort will be prepared which details the results of the testing performed and provides
Logs of Borings and a project layout. The report will also provide geotechnical engineering
recommendaticns which v.nll address concrete pavement design inclucing subgrace treatment,
lateral earth pressures, dewatering requirements, utility/detention pond excavation, bedding and
trench backfill, and uplift conditions. The existing soil wi(] also be clc.ssified for trench safety
requirements under OSHA guidelines.
Schedule. We can initiate our field operations within seven working days 'fOllOwing autiorization to
proceed, if site access and weather conditions will pennit. We anticipate completion of our services
and submittal of our final rer:ort within about three to four weeks of completion of ourfieid services.
In situations wr.ere information is needed prior to submittal of our report, we can provide verbal
information or recommendations for specific project requirements directly after we have completed
our field and laboratory progams.
c. COMPENSATION
Forthe scope ofwor\< discussed above, consisting of soil borings, laboratorjtesting, and a report as
outlined in this letter, we estimate the following total costs. Please note thaHhese cost estimates are
based on the assumption that a/l21 borings are perfonned simultaneously. The estimated costs are
presented in detail on the sc.1edule ~lowing the text and summarized below.
Field $7,697
Labcratory $3,178
Engineering $3,092
Total $13,967
The cost of our services for this effort will not exceed these figures unlESS the scope of work is
modified with the approval of the client.

2. Services and Payment.
Engineer shall perform services within the Standard of Care of the Engineering
profession as follows:
A. Engineer will furnish services to the City in accordance with the terms and
conditions specified in this Contract. Payment for the services of Engineer shall be due
and payable upon submission and approval of a statement for services to City.
Statements for services shall not be submitted more frequently than monthly.
After consultation with the City, the Engineer shall specify the basis of
compensation in the scope of work for the project. The Engineer shall provide adequate
detail of the basis of compensation so that the City can determine the reasonableness
of the fees and have the ability to make reasonable progress payments to the Engineer
based upon work completed at the payment intervals. The Engineer shall subcontract
for all subconsultants, subject to City approval, necessary to complete the scope of
work. The subconsultant's fees and administrative mark-up, if any, shall be included in
the scope of work. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the method of compensation shall
be one of the following methods:
1
1. Salary Cost Times Multiplier Plus Direct Nonsalary Expense ("Salary")
Compensation shall be based on 1) the direct salaries (including benefits)
of the Engineer's employees whose time is directly chargeable to the
project; 2) an agreed upon multiplier to compensate the Engineer for
overhead and profit; and 3) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. The Engineer shall provide a proposal that includes the
total fees for the project, which shall not be exceeded without prior City
approval.
2. Per Diem ("Per Diem")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) an agreed upon lump sum per day
for specific services; and 2) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. This method is best suited to expert witness work or other
short-term engagements involving intermittent services.
3. Cost Plus Fixed Fee ("Cost Plus")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) reimbursement of the actual costs
of all services and supplies related to the project and 2) an agreed upon
fixed fee (profit). The Engineer shall provide an estimate of the costs to
be reimbursed, but actual compensation shall be based upon invoices and
supporting documentation provided by the Engineer.
4. Lump Sum ("Lump")
Compensation shall be based upon an agreed lump sum payment for
completing the entire scope of work. This method is best suited to
investigations or studies and for basic services with limited scope and
complexity.
5. Percent of Construction ("Percent")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) the "Harris County Curve for
Engineering Compensation" for basic and construction phase services;
and 2) reimbursement for direct nonsalary expenditures and subconsultant
contracts as defined in the scope of work for the project. The Engineer
shall provide a proposal that includes the estimated construction cost of
the project and the total fees for the project. If the actual low bid for
construction is 20% above or below the estimate, the engineering fees are
subject to equitable adjustment by mutual agreement of the Engineer and
City.
2
If City fails to make any payment due Engineer for services and expenses within
thirty (30) days after receipt and approval of Engineer's statement for services therefore,
the amounts due Engineer will be increased at the rate of one half percent (1/2%) per
month from said thirtieth (30th) day, and, in addition, Engineer may, after giving seven
(7) days' written notice to City, suspend services under this Contract until Engineer has
been paid in full, all amounts due for services, expenses, and charges.
B. All the Engineer's working drawings, plans, and specifications, if required under
this Contract, shall be sufficiently accurate, detailed, and complete so that competitive
bids for the work can be obtained and the improvements constructed.
C. Approval of the Engineer's work by the City shall not release the Engineer, its
employees, agents, or consultants, from the responsibility and liability for the accuracy
and competency of their designs, working drawings, and specifications, or other
documents and services.
D. Subject to Article 8 herein or as otherwise agreed, the Engineer shall promptly
correct errors in the Engineer's work, including errors discovered after final payment,
without receiving additional compensation.
E. Prior to execution of this agreement, the Engineer shall have prepared a project
schedule identified as an attachment to this agreement. The Project Schedule shall be
submitted in digital and paper form, in the Microsoft Project for Windows format. The
Project Schedule shall contain a complete schedule so that the Engineer's scope of
services under this contract can be accomplished within the specified time and contract
cost. The Project Schedule will provide specific work sequence and definite review
times by the City and the Engineer of the work performed. If the review time should
take longer than shown on the project schedule, through no fault of the Engineer,
additional contract time may be authorized by the City through a supplemental
agreement, if requested by a timely written request from the Engineer and approved by
the City.
3. Term and Termination. This Contract term will begin upon execution and end sixty
days after issuance of the certification of completion of construction by the Engineer.
The City may terminate this Contract at any time during its term by giving written notice
to Engineer. The City shall pay the Engineer for all services rendered to the date of
termination.
4. Modifications. City without invalidating the Contract, may order changes within the
general scope of the work required by the Contract by altering, adding to and/or
deducting from the work to be performed. If any change under this clause causes an
increase or decrease in Engineer's cost of, or the time required for, the performance of
any part of the Services under the Contract, an equitable adjustment will be made by
mutual agreement and the Contract modified in writing accordingly.
3
5. Subcontracts. If, for any reason, at any time during the progress of providing
services, City determines that any subcontractor for Engineer is incompetent or
undesirable, City will notify Engineer accordingly and Engineer shall take immediate
corrective action, which may include cancellation of such subcontract. Subletting by
subcontractors shall be subject to the same regulations. Nothing contained in the
Contract shall create any contractual relation between any subcontractor and City.
6. Ownership of Documents. All drawings, report data, and other project information
developed in the execution of the services provided under this Contract shall be the
property of the City upon payment of Engineer's fees for services. Engineer may retain

ATTACHMENT A
PHASE 1 SCOPE OF SERVICES- FEASIBILITY DRAINAGE STUDY
SH 35 CROSSING WITH MARY'S CREEK
Purpose
To deternline if the current multiple culvert crossing at Mary's Creek and SH 35 can be
modified and functional for ultimate conditions or if a new bridge is needed.
Task 1 - Data Collection
This task includes preparation of a survey request to obtain all the pertinent data about
the bridge, as well as upstream and downstream channel reaches. Data collection will
involve coordination with Chuck Davis (Surveyor) as well as loading the field data into
DEC system will be handled in the data collection. A field reconnaissance trip is also
included in this task. Finally, existing computer models will be collected for use in this
project.
Task 2 - Hydraulic Analysis / Flow Impacts
A. Calibrated Existing Conditions
An existing unsteady HEC-RAS model will be used for this analysis. Based on detailed
survey, a calibrated existing conditions HEC-RAS model will be created to establish true
field conditions. Cross sections, transitions, and culvert data in the model will be updated
as appropriate.
B. Proposed Culvert Modifications
To minimize head losses and eliminate a drop in channel flow line, a circular culvert will
be proposed adjacent to the existing boxes. Transitions from the modified culvert
crossing to Mary's Creek channel upstream and downstream will be required. Channel
improvements will be proposed between the railroad and SH-35. Due to the channel
improvements and the additional culvert, flow impacts are expected.
C. Proposed New Bridge (If Required)
A new bridge is an alternative to the culvert modifications. To minimize head losses and
eliminate a drop in channel flow line, a new bridge will be proposed. Channel widening
from the bridge crossing to Mary's Creek channel, both upstream and downstream, will
be required. Channel improvements will be proposed between the railroad and SH-35.
Due to the channel improvements and the additional culvert, flow impacts are expected.
G:11150IProposalsl_ CitylCOPISH35IAttachmcnt A-phaselscopc.doc
Task 3 - Mitigation Analysis
A. Culvert Modifications
Two scenarios will be modeled for mitigation. The first scenario consists of adding the
SH 35 crossing modifications to the recently completed plan for Mary's Creek channel
improvements and regional detention upstream of SH 35. The added improvements
around SH-35 will be incorporated into this plan and mitigated accordingly.
The second scenario is a stand alone scenario. The proposed improvements and the
associated impacts will be isolated and mitigated independently of the proposed Mary's
Creek channel improvements and regional detention. Sources of mitigation could be the -
West Mary's Creek regional detention under construction. Also, the 8 acres purchased by
BDD#4 in the southwest corner of Mary's Creek and SH35 could be used for mitigation.
The cost effective plan will be selected.
B. New Bridge
This task is similar to the task above (Task 3A) except bridge impacts are mitigated. The
proposed bridge could require different mitigation volumes.
Task 4 - Cost Comparison/Selection
A comparison between saving the existing culvert crossings and placing a new bridge
will be made for various considerations: a) difficulty of implementation, b) amount of
mitigation needed and, c) construction cost.
Task 5 - Report
A brief report with all the findings and back-up information will be prepared.
Methodology, assumptions, and factors affecting the alternative selection will be
documented.
Task 6 - Project Management
Effort will be required to attend meetings, to perform internal coordination, and to
prepare progress reports.

Attachments: Scope of Services & Cost Summary - Exhibit A
2. Services and Payment.
Engineer shall perform services within the Standard of Care of the Engineering
profession as follows:
A. Engineer will furnish services to the City in accordance with the terms and
conditions specified in this Contract. Payment for the services of Engineer shall be due
and payable upon submission and approval of a statement for services to City.
Statements for services shall not be submitted more frequently than monthly.
After consultation with the City, the Engineer shall specify the basis of
compensation in the scope of work for the project. The Engineer shall provide adequate
detail of the basis of compensation so that the City can determine the reasonableness
of the fees and have the ability to make reasonable progress payments to the Engineer
based upon work completed at the payment intervals. The Engineer shall subcontract
for all subconsultants, subject to City approval, necessary to complete the scope of
work. The subconsultant's fees and administrative mark-up, if any, shall be included in
the scope of work. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the method of compensation shall
be one of the following methods:
1
1. Salary Cost Times Multiplier Plus Direct Nonsalary Expense ("Salary")
Compensation shall be based on 1) the direct salaries (including benefits)
of the Engineer's employees whose time is directly chargeable to the
project; 2) an agreed upon multiplier to compensate the Engineer for
overhead and profit; and 3) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. The Engineer shall provide a proposal that includes the
total fees for the project, which shall not be exceeded without prior City
approval.
2. Per Diem ("Per Diem")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) an agreed upon lump sum per day
for specific services; and 2) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. This method is best suited to expert witness work or other
short-term engagements involving intermittent services.
3. Cost Plus Fixed Fee ("Cost Plus")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) reimbursement of the actual costs
of all services and supplies related to the project and 2) an agreed upon
fixed fee (profit). The Engineer shall provide an estimate of the costs to
be reimbursed, but actual compensation shall be based upon invoices and
supporting documentation provided by the Engineer.
4. Lump Sum ("Lump")
Compensation shall be based upon an agreed lump sum payment for

A. Engineer will furnish services to the City in accordance with the terms and
conditions specified in this Contract. Payment for the services of Engineer shall be due
and payable upon submission and approval of a statement for services to City.
Statements for services shall not be submitted more frequently than monthly.
After consultation with the City, the Engineer shall specify the basis of
compensation in the scope of work for the project. The Engineer shall provide adequate
detail of the basis of compensation so that the City can determine the reasonableness
of the fees and have the ability to make reasonable progress payments to the Engineer
based upon work completed at the payment intervals. The Engineer shall subcontract
for all subconsultants, subject to City approval, necessary to complete the scope of
work. The subconsultant's fees and administrative mark-up, if any, shall be included in
the scope of work. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the method of compensation shall
be one of the following methods:
1. Salary Cost Times Multiplier Plus Direct Nonsalary Expense ("Salary")
Compensation shall be based on 1) the direct salaries (including benefits)
of the Engineer's employees whose time is directly chargeable to the
project; 2) an agreed upon multiplier to compensate the Engineer for
overhead and profit; and 3) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. The Engineer shall provide a proposal that includes the
total fees for the project, which shall not be exceeded without prior City
approval.
2. Per Diem ("Per Diem")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) an agreed upon lump sum per day
for specific services; and 2) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. This method is best suited to expert witness work or other
short-term engagements involving intermittent services.
3. Cost Plus Fixed Fee ("Cost Plus")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) reimbursement of the actual costs
of all services and supplies related to the project and 2) an agreed upon
fixed fee (profit). The Engineer shall provide an estimate of the costs to
be reimbursed, but actual compensation shall be based upon invoices and
supporting documentation provided by the Engineer.
4. Lump Sum ("Lump")
Compensation shall be based upon an agreed lump sum payment for
completing the entire scope of work. This method is best suited to
investigations or studies and for basic services with limited scope and
complexity.
5. Percent of Construction ("Percent")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) the "Harris County Curve for
Engineering Compensation" for basic and construction phase services;
and 2) reimbursement for direct nonsalary expenditures and subconsultant
contracts as defined in the scope of work for the project. The Engineer
shall provide a proposal that includes the estimated construction cost of
the project and the total fees for the project. If the actual low bid for
construction is 20% above or below the estimate, the engineering fees are
subject to equitable adjustment by mutual agreement of the Engineer and
City.
2
If City fails to make any payment due Engineer for services and expenses within
thirty (30) days after receipt and approval of Engineer's statement for services therefore,
the amounts due Engineer will be increased at the rate of one half percent (1/2%) per
month from said thirtieth (30th) day, and, in addition, Engineer may, after giving seven
(7) days' written notice to City, suspend services under this Contract until Engineer has
been paid in full, all amounts due for services, expenses, and charges.
B. All the Engineer's working drawings, plans, and specifications, if required under
this Contract, shall be sufficiently accurate, detailed, and complete so that competitive
bids for the work can be obtained and the improvements constructed.
C. Approval of the Engineer's work by the City shall not release the Engineer, its
employees, agents, or consultants, from the responsibility and liability for the accuracy
and competency of their designs, working drawings, and specifications, or other
documents and services.
D. Subject to Article 8 herein or as otherwise agreed, the Engineer shall promptly
correct errors in the Engineer's work, including errors discovered after final payment,
without receiving additional compensation.
E. Prior to execution of this agreement, the Engineer shall have prepared a project
schedule identified as an attachment to this agreement. The Project Schedule shall be
submitted in digital and paper form, in the Microsoft Project for Windows format. The
Project Schedule shall contain a complete schedule so that the Engineer's scope of
services under this contract can be accomplished within the specified time and contract
cost. The Project Schedule will provide specific work sequence and definite review
times by the City and the Engineer of the work performed. If the review time should
take longer than shown on the project schedule, through no fault of the Engineer,
additional contract time may be authorized by the City through a supplemental
agreement, if requested by a timely written request from the Engineer and approved by
the City.
3. Term and Termination. This Contract term will begin upon execution and end sixty
days after issuance of the certification of completion of construction by the Engineer.
The City may terminate this Contract at any time during its term by giving written notice
to Engineer. The City shall pay the Engineer for all services rendered to the date of
termination.
4. Modifications. City without invalidating the Contract, may order changes within the
general scope of the work required by the Contract by altering, adding to and/or
deducting from the work to be performed. If any change under this clause causes an
increase or decrease in Engineer's cost of, or the time required for, the performance of
any part of the Services under the Contract, an equitable adjustment will be made by
mutual agreement and the Contract modified in writing accordingly.
3
5. Subcontracts. If, for any reason, at any time during the progress of providing
services, City determines that any subcontractor for Engineer is incompetent or
undesirable, City will notify Engineer accordingly and Engineer shall take immediate
corrective action, which may include cancellation of such subcontract. Subletting by
subcontractors shall be subject to the same regulations. Nothing contained in the
Contract shall create any contractual relation between any subcontractor and City.

Klotz Associates, Inc.
Drainaee Report
Klotz Associates (The ENGINEER) will prepare a preliminary drainage
report to define the drainage infrastructure required for Cullen Parkway.
This analysis will include the preliminary analysis for cross drainage
structures, preliminary requirements for storm sewers, an impact analysis,
a mitigation analysis, recommended compensatory storage for floodplain
fill, recommended minimum pavement elevations based on cross drainage
flood elevations, and any additional right-of-way requirements for
drainage elements.
The analysis will be in accordance with the TxDOT Hydraulic Design
Manual. The City of Pearland, Drainage District # 4 (DD4) and Harris
County Flood District (HFCD) criteria will be used where it provides
detailed local criteria and specifies the required analysis methodology,
unless the CITY directs that only TxDOT and/or DD4 and/or HFCD
criteria be used. If City criteria are in conflict with TxDOT criteria and/or
DD4 criteria and/or HFCD criteria, City criteria will be used, unless the
CITY specifies that TxDOT and/or DD4 and/or HFCD criteria are to be
used. If TxDOT and/or DD4 and/or HFCD criteria requires analysis
beyond that required by City criteria for the same design purpose, only the
City criteria shall be followed, unless the CITY specifies that TxDOT
and/or DD4 and/or HFCD criteria is also to be used. Exhibits and analysis
will be prepared in the GIS environment to the extent practical.
a.
Management, Meetings and Coordination
Activities include general project management for drainage design,
coordination with City, coordination with roadway design
activities, and status review and reporting. The ENGINEER will
attend up to three meetings with the client to discuss the drainage
analysis and recommendations. These meetings will also be used
to define which agency's drainage criteria shall govern drainage
design, and to identify mitigation requirements. The ENGINEER
will also attend one coordination meetings with DD4 and one
coordination meetings with HCFCD if the City desires such
attendance or the ENGINEER deems them important to successful
project execution.

The ENGINEER shall inspect the site and develop site-based
information pertinent to drainage design for the project, including:
. Conduct a site inspection of the project and nearby adjacent
areas and identify unusual drainage conditions.
. Provide a photographic documentation of drainage
conditions as part of the site inspection.
. Provide specifications to the surveyor for collection of
appropriate information for use in the drainage analysis.
. Receive and review data from the surveyor as it relates to
drainage design
c. Data Collection
The ENGINEER will be responsible for performing record
research and obtaining existing information, including construction
plans.
.
Collect data on drainage facilities and issues which may
impact drainage design.
Obtain construction plans within the project limits for
abutting TxDOT, county, and City Roads. Obtain drainage
studies, reports and mapping for the project area, including
reports for developments affecting the drainage area.
Obtain recent and reasonably available floodplain data,
models, and analyses pertinent to current floodplain
conditions. We plan to use the available TSARP data and
associated draft flood plain maps for Clear Creek and the
results of the 2004 preliminary flood study for Pearland
Hickory Slough. The ENGINEER will confer with the City
as to the most appropriate way for incorporate such
updating into the drainage evaluation for this project.
Conduct additional surveys as is deemed necessary for the
successful completion of this task. This will be deemed
additional services and will be performed after agreement
and a mutually agreed-upon fee. It will also be vital to
adequately tie the surveying to the TxDOT, TSARP,
Pearland and other datums to adequately make any needed
datum adjustments. The ENGINEER will closely
coordinate with the surveyor to pick up and tie down as
many bench marks and TBM's and associated datums as
possible within the general area of the project.

criteria as defined in the latest TxDOT Hydraulic Design
Manual shall be used to determine the method to use for
peak flow rate computation, unless the City specifies other
methods (such as use of the Brazoria County Master
Drainage Plan hydrologic model)..
Where sufficient topographic data are in the judgment of
the ENGINEER, available, create limited or use previously
developed HEC-RAS or HEC-2 hydraulic models, at the
discretion of the ENGINEER, to evaluate the two major
cross-drainage structures. The same storm frequencies
will be used with these models that are described above to
develop peak flow rates for cross drainage structures.
Estimate the size of any cross drainage structures. HEC-
RAS will be used to size cross drainage structures where
such models are available. No detailed calculations will be
made for the cross drainage. Actual sizing and details of
cross drainage will be done in final design.
Creek Clear cross drainage shall be via bridge flow and is
considered a special situation. The ENGINEER shall
provide cross drainage design for Clear Creek, with
necessary evaluation being made to determine and achieve
necessary low chord bridge clearance. The selected HEC-
RAS model (Task c above) will be used to define water
level conditions. Floodway determination and SOO-year
floodplain, if done, would be at the request of the City and
be done as an Additional Service. Bridge design impacts
for the lOa-year flood will be determined. Mitigation of
impact will be designed, based upon criteria identified in

consultation with the City and other parties (i.e., DD4 and
HCFCD). A demonstration of impact mitigation will be
provided. Tile impacfevaluation and mitigation process for
the Clear Creek crossing will conform to standard FEMA
evaluation processes, assuming the selected hydraulic
model (Task c) is considered to be the "revised base"
model as defined by FEMA procedures
. In case of Hickory Bayou, the ENGINEER is aware that
drainage conditions may require the use of HEC-RAS for
drainage evaluation. The 2004 preliminary flood study for
Pearland Hickory Slough will be used to the fullest extent
possible. If in the judgment of the ENGINEER, a different
HEC-RAS model is critical to effective cross drainage
design at Hickory Slough, a local HEC-RAS model will be
developed using available field data based upon ROW
survey and closely adjacent topography. .
. Based on the cross drainage systems water surface
elevations, recommend minimum pavement elevations.
. Identify potential needs for requests for a LOMR or a
CLOMR. The preparation of LOMR or a CLOMR is NOT
part of basic services. If CLOMR or LOMR application
preparation were requested by the City, such preparation
would be undertaken as an additional service.
e. Right-of-Way Drainage (Storm Sewer System)
Prepare a preliminary sizing of the right-of-way drainage system
for the right-of-way and development strip. Work will consist of
the following:
.
Prepare a conceptual trunk storm sewer layout
The trunk storm sewers will be sized in accordance with
TxDOT and City of Pearland criteria The design frequency
shall be either a 2, 5 or 10 year frequency (one only being
selected, in accord with the controlling criteria), with a
check on the 100-year flow condition. Details, connections,
special details and calculations will be done in the final
design and are not part of this scope.
Any special sizing such as large diameter plastic pipe and
other material is NOT currently included in the Fee
Schedule. This fee can be taken from the contingency feenas necessary.

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING SCOPE OF SERVICES
Cullen Road from BW 8 to FM 518
Brazoria County, Texas
The scope of services presented herein by GC Engineering, Inc. (GCE) is comprised of traffic engineering
services for the proposed reconstruction of Fann to Market Road 865 (Cullen Road) from Beltway 8
(BW 8) to FM 518 in Brazoria County, Texas. Proposed reconstruction activities include the widening of
the existing roadway within the existing right-of-way (ROW), from two to four lanes with exclusive turn
lanes at key intersections. Existing traffic signals will likely require modifications with ROW acquisition
needed for corner-clips at the intersection of Cullen Road at CR 106 and Cullen Road at Hughes Ranch
Road. The proposed project also includes two potential stonn water detention pond sites: an approximate
5-acre site located to the east of Cullen Road near Hickory Slough, and an approximate IO-acre site
located adjacent to Clear Creek to the west of Cullen Road. It is our understanding that the reasonable
alternatives may potentially include alternative configurations of 4 lane divided roadway. The tasks
included in this Scope of Work include:
. Development of Traffic Volume Forecast
· Development of Existing Traffic Analysis
· Traffic Signal PER (Preliminary Design)
· Development of Preliminary Signal Construction Cost Estimate.
TASK 1.
TRANSPORT A TIONfTRAFFIC ANALYSIS
1. Traffic Forecasts
Under this task, TransCAD scenarios will be run using the City of Pearland Traffic
Model to develop traffic forecasts for FM 865. Various changes in the corridor will be
included in the forecast scenarios including, but not limited to completion of McHard
Road between FM 865 and SH 288, completion of a proposed new high school at FM865
and CR403, and widening ofCR403 between FM865 and CR94.
The traffic forecasts will be used as an input to the shadow toll analysis, and will fonn the
basis for detennination of number of lanes required along FM 865.
2. Traffic Analysis
The traffic forecasts will be used in developing lane requirements for Cullen Parkway,
and will also be used as a starting point in detennining the need for exclusive turning
lanes at key locations, and as an input to the signal design process.
The results of the traffic analysis will be used to support the purpose and need statement
of the Environmental Assessment. The analysis will utilize existing and future traffic
volumes for the detennination of the required number of lanes and will include a one to
two page summary of why the project is needed.

TASK 2.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN
1. Preliminary Design
The preliminary design task will consist of a review of existing signals and development
of a conceptual plan for improvements, and preliminary construction cost estimate.
There are five existing traffic signals within the limits of work, as follows:
. FM 51 8, at the southerly limit of work, is a recently re-configured signal system that
operates as a split-phase operation for north and southbound approaches along Cullen
Parkway. With an additional lane in each direction along Cullen, the opportunity
exists to examine timing and phasing options to provide less time for through traffic,
and, thus additional time for FM518 and for high volume turning phases. At a
minimum, there will be a need for modification of signal head locations and lane
configurations at this location.
. CR 403 is a recently installed signal. With widening, there will be a need to relocate
signal hardware. With potential widening of CR403, there will be a need to
coordinate with that design effort, and with a potential new high school to be located
at the northwest comer of the intersection, there will be a need to confirm that signal
timing and turning lanes are appropriately designed to accommodate a major traffic
generator.
. Brookside Road is currently a flashing yellow warning signal. With potential
completion of McHard from SH 288 to Cullen Parkway, this could become a major
intersection since this would be the location of the future McHardlCuIlen
intersection. The traffic forecasts will be used to determine whether or not a full
signal operation is warranted, however, given the preliminary indications of future
traffic on McHard, it is likely that a signal will be warranted. At a minimum, this
location will require relocation of signal hardware due to the widening of Cullen, and
future consideration of a major signalized intersection. Likely, the timing of
completion of McHard will require a new signal design at this location.
. The current signal at the entrances to Tom Bass Park and Adair Park likely require
relocation of signal hardware and redesign to accommodate the widening of Cullen.
. The current signal at the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) frontage roads may
require modifications to accommodate the high volume left turn from Cullen to the
westbound frontage road.
For each of these there will be an effort during the preliminary design effort which will
include a discussion of alternatives and conceptual recommendations which will be
described as part of the PER. This effort will include a preliminary construction cost
estimate for traffic signal improvements.

area and identifY significant features of the community. This task includes obtaining
various maps and other supporting data, as needed, which is not identified in other tasks
within this Scope of Services.
Review of Aerial Photographs: This task includes a review of historical aerial color and
black/white photographic enlargements for selected years. Infrared color photographs
will be analyzed for the presence of wetland signature color distortions. Information for
all photographic interpretation will be compared to locate recurring sites where wetland
signatures are present.
Review of Biolog:ical Elements: The Threatened and Endangered Species listings
currently maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department will be evaluated to determine if any of the listed species may be shown to
potentially inhabit the area and will be indicated by map. The presence of state or
national parks, forest, wildlife refuges, wild or scenic rivers, natural areas, or similar
preserves in the planning area will be identified by map.
Review of Hydrolo!1:ical Elements: This task includes research and review of all
hydrological elements within the project area. This task is intended to identifY receiving
streams and regulatory coordination necessary under the proposed action.
Review of Socioeconomic Elements: This task includes research and review of available
income information for the community, such as median annual income. This task also
includes research to obtain land use information for the project area and surrounding
community, which will be included in the EA.
Preparation of a Map Representing Potential Wetland Areas: This task includes the
preparation of a scaled map to show potential wetland areas and the limits of
Jurisdictional Waters. Upon completion of the site reconnaissance and in-office analysis
of the study data, the boundaries of the area determined to be Jurisdictional Waters ofthe
United States will be flagged for survey by the project surveyor.
Preparation of Constraints Map for the study area: After gathering the various inputs
identified in other tasks under this phase, the findings will be presented on a map
overlaying the results on a recent aerial photograph of the study area. This preliminary
information will assist in providing a means for analysis of the alternatives. The
constraints map will be used as one of the graphics during the public involvement
activities detailed in Task 2.
b. Analysis and Evaluation of Proposed Project
Once the baseline data is compiled, the potential environmental effects that potentially
would occur as a result of the project will be evaluated to develop the framework that will
guide the environmental analysis, evaluation, and documentation. Activities to be
performed as part of the evaluation of the environmental setting, includes the following
activities:
Biological and Natural Resource Impact Assessment: The biological and natural
Resource aspects of the proposed project will be reviewed and analyzed for potential
impacts to those resources. The site will be reviewed for biological indicators of
presence. If marginal or suspicious habitats are encountered, a specialist on the specific
study species will be consulted and their findings included in the site impact assessment.
081/8106-GCE SOW - Environmental Services, Cullen Parkway, Brazoria County, TX
Page 2 of 10
Wetland Impact Assessment: The proposed project will be evaluated to identify methods
to minimize wetland impacts, if any. If wetlands will be impacted by the project, an
explanation of cost and technical factors, as applicable, such as discussion if there is no
practicable alternative to the construction will be included in the environmental
document. Additionally, if required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, appropriate
wetland permitting and mitigation will be proposed for wetland impacts. This task
includes inspecting the property under the field procedures outlined in the 1987 Manual
for Wetland Determination by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The proposed project
will be reviewed for any wetland impacts. Transects will be performed across the
property, perpendicular to the nearest watercourse. Samples of vegetation, soils, and
hydrology indicators will be taken at each change in topography or vegetation.
Vegetation samples will be evaluated and recorded at each sample area. Upland
vegetation will be verified, for it is as significant as wetland vegetation in the
determination process. This task includes delineation of the ordinary high water mark at
proposed crossings of the jurisdictional waters of the United States. Inspection of the
property for evidence or lack of wetland hydrology will be performed at each sample
area. Soil samples will be evaluated at each test site for their hydric and non-hydric
characteristics. Non-hydric soils verify upland status and are as significant as hydric soils
in the determination process. As many as 50+ sample sites, evaluating vegetation, soil,
and hydrology criteria, may be necessary.
Hazardous Waste Impacts Assessment: The hazardous wastes impacts will be identified,
to the extent feasible in accordance with TxDOT guidelines. The purpose of this
assessment will be to be identify the potential for recognized environmental conditions;
that is, the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products
on the property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a
material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into the
ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. This subtask will have four
components, as follows:
(1) Obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions
in connection with the property. Some records will pertain to properties within an
additional approximate search distance in order to help assess the likelihood of potential
problems from migrating substances.
(2) Site Reconnaissance: Visually and physically inspect the property and adjoining
properties, to the extent not obstructed by bodies of water, adjacent buildings, or other
obstacles, for evidence of hazardous substances or petroleum products.
(3) Interviews may be conducted to obtain information regarding current and historical
uses of the property that may be related to environmental conditions.
(4) Evaluation and Report Preparation: The information gathered from the previous tasks
will be evaluated, and the findings will be presented in a report that describes, at
minimum, site and vicinity descriptions, current and past uses of the property and
adjoining properties, information from records reviews, information from site
reconnaissance and interviews, conclusions and opinions of impacts, if any, of recognized
environmental conditions. Should additional testing be required, this can be performed as
an additional service.
Historical, Cultural and Archeological Survey: This subtask includes survey/analysis in
three areas, which may result in the generation of a separate technical report on the issue.
The report(s) produced under this task will be included as an appendix to the
08/l8/06-GCE SOW - Environmental Services, Cullen Parkway, Brazoria County, TX
Page 3 of 10
environmental document, as applicable. The following items are included as part of this
task:
(1) TxDOT precertified person(s), will perform a reconnaissance survey of the project
area in order to identifY areas within the corridor where archeological sites may be
encountered, or where there is preservation potential. It is assumed that all lands
associated with the proposed project will be publicly-owned, and that the issuance of a
Texas Antiquities permit will be required prior to fieldwork mobilization. It is also
assumed that the 10 acre detention basin is located in PALM Unit 2 area, and that the 5
acre DB is in a PALM Unit 2a area. Additionally this scope of work includes the critical
assumption that no archeological resources will be found during the excavation and that
shovel testing a limited backhoe trenching will be sufficient to complete the investigation
to the requirements of TxDOT and the THC. Upon approval by TxDOT/THC, twenty
(30) copies of the final report will be provided to the TxDOT/THC.
(2) Qualified cultural resource personnel will perform a windshield survey of the project
area, and will review National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the list of Recorded
Texas Historical Landmarks (RTHL), and Texas Historic Sites Inventory to identifY
previously designated historic resources. The project's area of potential effects (APE) is
estimated to extend 150 feet beyond the existing ROW boundaries. The purpose of this
survey is to identifY and evaluate all buildings, structures, objects, and potential districts
constructed in 1956 or earlier that are located within the APE. This scope of services
assumes up to 10 pre-1956 structures may be located within the survey area, based on a
cursory examination of the USGS 7.5' quadrangle topographic and historic Texas
Highway Department county highway maps.
(3) This task also includes review to identifY whether sufficient information is available
to determine 4(f) status. Should sufficient information be available, then the NRHP
criteria will be used to evaluate significance and for integrity to evaluate the 4(f)
properties, as applicable, and will provide a report of the data in conformance with
FHW A 4(f) policies. Should the 4(f) issue be eliminated from further consideration,
detailed information explaining the issue will be provided as a section in the
environmental document.
Traffic Noise and Air Ouality Analysis: Traffic noise analysis will be conducted using
FHW A Traffic Noise Model (TNM) using existing (2006) and design year (2026) traffic
volumes in the model. Noise wall analysis, if applicable, will be performed. Air quality
analysis will be performed in accordance with TxDOT guidelines, if required, using
Caline31M0bile 6A.
c. Environmental Document Preparation and Circulation
GCE will prepare and submit copies of the environmental document as indicated and
respond to comments on the environmental document. All copies of the environmental

The soil samples will be sampled continuously to the boring completion depths. All
drilling will be performed in accordance with TxDOT criteria. TxDOT cone penetrometer tests
(THD Cone) will be performed at 5-ft intervals. We will transport representative portions of the
recovered samples to our soil mechanics laboratory for testing. We will backfill the project
borings upon completion of24-hour water level measurements. The qoring locations will then be
staked for surveying.
Laboratorv Testiu2:. We will perform soil mechanics laboratory tests to measure
physical and engineering properties of selected representative soil samples. The testing will
generally include unconfmed compression test (ASTM D 2166), unconsolidated -undrained
triaxial test (ASTM D 2850), moisture content (Tex-103-E), liquid limit (Tex-104-E), plastic
limit (Tex-105-E), specific gravity of soils (Tex-I08-E), particle size analysis to obtain D50 (Tex-
1IO-E), and one-dimensional consolidation test (ASTM D 2435).
Efilzineeriug Report. We will prepare an engineering report that will present out
findings and provide you with geotechnical design and construction recommendations for the
proposed bridge, paving, stonn sewer, and detention ponds construction, including:
. Soil stratigraphy
. Groundwater conditions
. Sub grade Preparation and stabilization requirements
. Fill requirements
~ Paving design in accordance with AASlITO and TXDOT specifications
. Storm sewer bedding and backfill requirements
. Retention criteria and groundwater control
. Bridge foundation design using TxDOT design criteria
. Foundation settlement estimates and construction criteria
. Slope stability analyses of embanlonents at channel crossings
. Detention ponds excavations
. Erosion control for detention pond sideslopes
Budget
Our lump sum cost for the above-described services is $31,650.00 and will not be
exceeded without your prior written authorization. The cost for. the geotechnical study assumes
that ingress and egress to the site are provided by others. Our budget to perform the above listed
services is included in the table included below:

Re: Revised Proposal for Professional Services
Cullen Parkway Improvements and Widening Project- F.M. 518 to Beltway 8
City of Pearland, Brazoria and Harris Counties, Texas
Dear Mr. Hodge:
Bury+Partners-Houston, Inc. (BPI) is pleased to present this revised proposal for professional
engineering, environmental, and surveying services in connection with the preparation of a
Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for improvements to approximately 2.8 miles of Cullen
Parkway from F.M. 518 in Pearland north to Beltway 8 in Harris County. The PER will include
schematic layout, drainage analysis, environmental assessment, traffic study, geotechnical
investigation, and bridge layouts. Also included in the project scope is the preparation of the Pass-
Through Toll Application package and TxDOT negotiations regarding project funding. Cullen
Parkway is a major north-south roadway that is currently experiencing severe congestion during
peak hours each day. The recent realignment of Old Chocolate Bayou Road south of F.M. 518 has
caused an increase in traffic from the Silverlake complex along the project limits to Beltway 8.
Additionally, the proposed 3000+ student high school on Cullen Parkway along with known and
anticipated land use changes will further stress congestion on the roadway. As a result, Cullen
Parkway is in need of upgrading and expanding to accommodate these and future demands so it
may provide a higher level of service.
The need has been identified and expansion of the roadway from two lane asphalt with open ditch
drainage to four lanes divided with underground storm sewer appears to be feasible within the
existing right-of-way along the entire length of the project. The estimated construction cost for the
improvements is $26,230,000 based on a four lane typical section with 12-foot lane widths and 6-
foot sidewalks, but does not include 8-foot shoulders on each side of the roadway as initially
thought to be required by TxDOT. The estimate also includes new signals and/or modifications at

major intersections and two new replacement bridges. This estimate is predicated on constructing
the proposed improvements within the current 100-foot right-of-way (ROW) without taking any
additional ROW.

Drainage Report
• Klotz Associates (The ENGINEER) will prepare a preliminary drainage
report to define the drainage infrastructure required for Cullen Parkway.
This analysis will include the preliminary analysis for cross drainage
structures, preliminary requirements for storm sewers, an impact analysis,
a mitigation analysis, recommended compensatory storage for floodplain
fill, recommended minimum pavement elevations based on cross drainage
flood elevations, and any additional right-of-way requirements for
drainage elements.
The analysis will be in accordance with the TxDOT Hydraulic Design
Manual. The City of Pearland, Drainage District # 4 (DD4) and Harris
County Flood District (HFCD) criteria will be used where it provides
detailed local criteria and specifies the required analysis methodology,
unless the CITY directs that only TxDOT and/or DD4 and/or HFCD
criteria be used. If City criteria are in conflict with TxDOT criteria and/or
DD4 criteria and/or HFCD criteria, City criteria will be used, unless the
CITY specifies that TxDOT and/or DD4 and/or HFCD criteria are to be
used. If TxDOT and/or DD4 and/or HFCD criteria requires analysis
beyond that required by City criteria for the same design purpose, only the
City criteria shall be followed, unless the CITY specifies that TxDOT
and/or DD4 and/or HFCD criteria is also to be used. Exhibits and analysis
will be prepared in the GIS environment to the extent practical.
a. Management, Meetings and Coordination
Activities include general project management for drainage design,
coordination with City, coordination with roadway design
activities, and status review and reporting. The ENGINEER will
attend up to three meetings with the client to discuss the drainage
analysis and recommendations. These meetings will also be used
to define which agency's drainage criteria shall govern drainage
design, and to identify mitigation requirements. The ENGINEER
will also attend one coordination meetings with DD4 and one
coordination meetings with HCFCD if the City desires such
attendance or the ENGINEER deems them important to successful
project execution.

The ENGINEER shall inspect the site and develop site-based
information pertinent to drainage design for the project, including:
• Conduct a site inspection of the project and nearby adjacent
areas and identify unusual drainage conditions.
• Provide a photographic documentation of drainage
conditions as part of the site inspection.
• Provide specifications to the surveyor for collection of
appropriate information for use in the drainage analysis.
• Receive and review data from the surveyor as it relates to
drainage design
c. Data Collection
The ENGINEER will be responsible for performing record
research and obtaining existing information, including construction
plans.
• Collect data on drainage facilities and issues which may
impact drainage design.
• Obtain construction plans within the project limits for
abutting TxDOT, county, and City Roads. Obtain drainage
studies, reports and mapping for the project area, including
reports for developments affecting the drainage area.
• Obtain recent and reasonably available floodplain data,
models, and analyses pertinent to current floodplain
conditions. We plan to use the available TSARP data and
associated draft flood plain maps for Clear Creek and the
results of the 2004 preliminary flood study for Pearland
Hickory Slough. The ENGINEER will confer with the City
as to the most appropriate way for incorporate such
updating into the drainage evaluation for this project.
• Conduct additional surveys as is deemed necessary for the
successful completion of this task. This will be deemed
additional services and will be performed after agreement
and a mutually agreed-upon fee. It will also be vital to
adequately tie the surveying to the TxDOT, TSARP,
Pearland and other datums to adequately make any needed
datum adjustments. The ENGINEER will closely
coordinate with the surveyor to pick up and tie down as
many bench marks and TBM's and associated datums as
possible within the general area of the project.

d. Cross Drainage Analysis
Analyze drainage courses crossing the proposed roadway to
establish water surface elevations and to size the proposed bridges
and cross drainage structures. Work will include:
• Identify cross drainage systems. Determine if drainage is
via a defined water course or by sheet flow.
• Prepare a sheet flow evaluation suitable for sizing cross
drainage facilities.
• Establish drainage areas for each cross drainage system.
• Develop peak flow rates for the 2 or 5 (depending upon
City criteria), 10, 25, and 100-year storm events. TxDOT
criteria as defined in the latest TxDOT Hydraulic Design
Manual shall be used to determine the method to use for
peak flow rate computation, unless the City specifies other
methods (such as use of the Brazoria County Master
Drainage Plan hydrologic model)..
• Where sufficient topographic data are in the judgment of
the ENGINEER, available, create limited or use previously
developed HEC-RAS or HEC-2 hydraulic models, at the
discretion of the ENGINEER, to evaluate the two major
cross-drainage structures. The same storm frequencies
will be used with these models that are described above to
develop peak flow rates for cross drainage structures.
• Estimate the size of any cross drainage structures. HEC-
RAS will be used to size cross drainage structures where
such models are available. No detailed calculations will be
made for the cross drainage. Actual sizing and details of
cross drainage will be done in final design.
• Creek Clear cross drainage shall be via bridge flow and is
considered a special situation. The ENGINEER shall
provide cross drainage design for Clear Creek, with
necessary evaluation being made to determine and achieve
necessary low chord bridge clearance. The selected HEC-
RAS model (Task c above) will be used to define water
level conditions. Floodway determination and 500-year
floodplain, if done, would be at the request of the City and
be done as an Additional Service. Bridge design impacts
for the 100-year flood will be determined. Mitigation of
impact will be designed, based upon criteria identified in

consultation with the City and other parties (i.e., DD4 and
HCFCD). A demonstration of impact mitigation will be
provided. The impact evaluation and mitigation process for.
the Clear Creek crossing will conform to standard FEMA
evaluation processes, assuming the selected hydraulic
model (Task c) is considered to be the "revised base"
model as defined by FEMA procedures
• In case of Hickory Bayou, the ENGINEER is aware that
drainage conditions may require the use of HEC-RAS for
drainage evaluation. The 2004 preliminary flood study for
Pearland Hickory Slough will be used to the fullest extent
possible. If in the judgment of the ENGINEER, a different
HEC-RAS model is critical to effective cross drainage
design at Hickory Slough, a local HEC-RAS model will be
developed using available field data based upon ROW
survey and closely adjacent topography. .
• Based on the cross drainage systems water surface
elevations,recommend minimum pavement elevations.
• Identify potential needs for requests for a LOMR or a
CLOMR. The preparation of LOMR or a CLOMR is NOT
part of basic services. If CLOMR or LOMR application
preparation were requested by the City, such preparation
would be undertaken as an additional service.
e. Right-of-Way Drainage (Storm Sewer System)
Prepare a preliminary sizing of the right-of-way drainage system
for the right-of-way and development strip. Work will consist of
the following:
• Prepare a conceptual trunk storm sewer layout
• The trunk storm sewers will be sized in accordance with
TxDOT and City of Pearland criteria. The design frequency
shall be either a 2, 5 or 10 year frequency (one only being
selected, in accord with the controlling criteria), with a
check on the 100-year flow condition. Details, connections,
special details and calculations will be done in the final
design and are not part of this scope.
• Any special sizing such as large diameter plastic pipe and
other material is NOT currently included in the Fee
Schedule. This fee can be taken from the contingency fee
as necessary.

f. Impact and Mitigation Analysis
Prepare an impact analysis to determine the increase in peak flow
rates for the 100-year storm. No other frequencies will be
analyzed. Only the proposed road right-of-way will be used for the
analysis. Whether or not a development strip will be included in
the impact analysis will be specified in initial discussions with the
City of Pearland in view of the fact that private development will
have to mitigate their impact(possibly with on-site detention).
• Determine existing conditions-100-year peak flow rates.
• Determine proposed conditions 100-year peak flow rates.
• Prepare a mitigation analysis using the Small Watershed
Method or other appropriate method consistent with City
drainage criteria to develop detention volumes.
• The detention analysis does not include the following
items, which are to be provided in the fmal design after the
site is selected:
Routing of the storm hydrographs through the
detention basins to verify volume requirements and
attenuation of peak flow rate.
Design of control structures.
g. Right-of-Way
It is assumed that the City has two sites available for detention
basins for mitigation volumes. The adequacy of these sites will be
judged by the Engineer. However, actual calculations for pond
volumes, access, and details will be done during the final design
phase.
h. Floodplain Mitigation
Using GeoPak or similar computation tools, calculate the volume
of fill to be placed in the 100-year floodplain assuming the
floodplain is not altered from its current condition and location as
defined by latest available TSARP flood plain maps for Clear
Creek and preliminary flood plain maps for Hickory Slough as
shown in the 2004 City of Pearland floodplain study for Hickory
Slough. We anticipate the compensatory storage will be included
within the planned two detention facilities. The evaluation of

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING SCOPE OF SERVICES
Cullen Road from BW 8 to FM 518
Brazoria County, Texas
The scope of services presented herein by GC Engineering,Inc. (GCE) is comprised of traffic engineering
services for the proposed reconstruction of Farm to Market Road 865 (Cullen Road) from Beltway 8
(BW 8)to FM 518 in Brazoria County, Texas. Proposed reconstruction activities include the widening of
the existing roadway within the existing right-of-way (ROW), from two to four lanes with exclusive turn
lanes at key intersections. Existing traffic signals will likely require modifications with ROW acquisition
needed for corner-clips at the intersection of Cullen Road at CR 106 and Cullen Road at Hughes Ranch
Road. The proposed project also includes two potential storm water detention pond sites: an approximate
5-acre site located to the east of Cullen Road near Hickory Slough, and an approximate 10-acre site
located adjacent to Clear Creek to the west of Cullen Road. It is our understanding that the reasonable
alternatives may potentially include alternative configurations of 4 lane divided roadway. The tasks
included in this Scope of Work include:
• Development of Traffic Volume Forecast
• Development of Existing Traffic Analysis
• Traffic Signal PER(Preliminary Design)
• Development of Preliminary Signal Construction Cost Estimate.
TASK 1. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
1. Traffic Forecasts
Under this task, TransCAD scenarios will be run using the City of Pearland Traffic
Model to develop traffic forecasts for FM 865. Various changes in the corridor will be
included in the forecast scenarios including, but not limited to completion of McHard
Road between FM 865 and SH 288, completion of a proposed new high school at FM865
and CR403, and widening of CR403 between FM865 and CR94.
The traffic forecasts will be used as an input to the shadow toll analysis, and will form the
basis for determination of number of lanes required along FM 865.
2. Traffic Analysis
The traffic forecasts will be used in developing lane requirements for Cullen Parkway,
and will also be used as a starting point in determining the need for exclusive turning
lanes at key locations,and as an input to the signal design process.
The results of the traffic analysis will be used to support the purpose and need statement
of the Environmental Assessment. The analysis will utilize existing and future traffic
volumes for the determination of the required number of lanes and will include a one to
two page summary of why the project is needed.
08/22/06-GCE SOW—Transportation Engineering Services, Cullen Road, Brazoria County, TX Page 1 of 3
TASK 2. TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN
1. Preliminary Design
The preliminary design task will consist of a review of existing signals and development
of a conceptual plan for improvements, and preliminary construction cost estimate.
There are five existing traffic signals within the limits of work, as follows:
• FM 518, at the southerly limit of work, is a recently re-configured signal system that
operates as a split-phase operation for north and southbound approaches along Cullen
Parkway. With an additional lane in each direction along Cullen,the opportunity
exists to examine timing and phasing options to provide less time for through traffic,
and, thus additional time for FM518.and for high volume turning phases. At a
minimum, there will be a need for modification of signal head locations and lane
configurations at this location.
• CR 403 is a recently installed signal. With widening, there will be a need to relocate
signal hardware. With potential widening of CR403, there will be a need to
coordinate with that design effort, and with a potential new high school to be located
at the northwest corner of the intersection,there will be a need to confirm that signal
timing and turning lanes are appropriately designed to accommodate a major traffic
generator.
• Brookside Road is currently a flashing yellow warning signal. With potential
completion of McHard from SH 288 to Cullen Parkway, this could become a major
intersection since this would be the location of the future McHard/Cullen
intersection. The traffic forecasts will be used to determine whether or not a full
signal operation is warranted, however, given the preliminary indications of future
traffic on McHard, it is likely that a signal will be warranted. At a minimum, this
location will require relocation of signal hardware due to the widening of Cullen,and
future consideration of a major signalized intersection. Likely, the timing of
completion of McHard will require a new signal design at this location.
• The current signal at the entrances to Tom Bass Park and Adair Park likely require
relocation of signal hardware and redesign to accommodate the widening of Cullen.
• The current signal at the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) frontage roads may
require modifications to accommodate the high volume left turn from Cullen to the
westbound frontage road.
For each of these there will be an effort during the preliminary design effort which will
include a discussion of alternatives and conceptual recommendations which will be
described as part of the PER. This effort will include a preliminary construction cost
estimate for traffic signal improvements.

TASK 1. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
1. Environmental Documentation
This subtask includes obtaining and documenting baseline environmental setting
information and performing - analyses to evaluate the potential environmental
consequences for implementing the proposed project. This includes documenting the
environmental constraints and potential impacts of the alternatives, including the No
Build alternative. Impacts to be addressed will be in accordance with applicable State

organized according to TxDOT and FHWA format.
a. Environmental Setting
A detailed evaluation of the environmental effects that would occur as a result of the
project will be performed to develop the framework that will guide the environmental
analysis, evaluation, and documentation. Activities to be performed as part of the
evaluation of the environmental setting, includes the following activities:
Preliminary Site Reconnaissance of Project Area: This task includes a preliminary site
reconnaissance of the project to become familiar with existing conditions of the project
08/18/06-GCE SOW—Environmental Services, Cullen Parkway, Brazoria County,-TX Page 1 of 10
area and identify significant features of the community. This task includes obtaining
various maps and other supporting data, as needed, which is not identified in other tasks
within this Scope of Services.
Review of Aerial Photographs: This task includes a review of historical aerial color and
black/white photographic enlargements for selected years. Infrared color photographs
will be analyzed for the presence of wetland signature color distortions. Information for
all photographic interpretation will be compared to locate recurring sites where wetland
signatures are present.
Review of Biological Elements: The Threatened and Endangered Species listings
currently maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department will be evaluated to determine if any of the listed species may be shown to
potentially inhabit the area and will be indicated by map. The presence of state or
national parks, forest, wildlife refuges, wild or scenic rivers, natural areas, or similar
preserves in the planning area will be identified by map.
Review of Hydrological Elements: This task includes research and review of all
hydrological elements within the project area. This task is intended to identify receiving
streams and regulatory coordination necessary under the proposed action.
Review of Socioeconomic Elements: This task includes research and review of available
income information for the community, such as median annual income. This task also
includes research to obtain land use information for the project area and surrounding
community,which will be included in the EA.
Preparation of a Map Representing Potential Wetland Areas: This task includes the
preparation of a scaled map to show potential wetland areas and the limits of
Jurisdictional Waters. Upon completion of the site reconnaissance and in-office analysis
of the study data,the boundaries of the area determined to be Jurisdictional Waters of the
United States will be flagged for survey by the project surveyor.
Preparation of Constraints Map for the study area: After gathering the various inputs
identified in other tasks under this phase, the findings will be presented on a map
overlaying the results on a recent aerial photograph of the study area. This preliminary
information will assist in providing a means for analysis of the alternatives. The
constraints map will be used as one of the graphics during the public involvement
activities detailed in Task 2.
b. Analysis and Evaluation of Proposed Project
Once the baseline data is compiled, the potential environmental effects that potentially
would occur as a result of the project will be evaluated to develop the framework that will
guide the environmental analysis, evaluation, and documentation. Activities to be
performed as part of the evaluation of the environmental setting, includes the following
activities:
Biological and Natural Resource Impact Assessment: The biological and natural
Resource aspects of the proposed project will be reviewed and analyzed for potential
impacts to those resources. The site will be reviewed for biological indicators of
presence. If marginal or suspicious habitats are encountered, a specialist on the specific
study species will be consulted and their findings included in the site impact assessment.
08/18/06-GCE SOW—Environmental Services, Cullen Parkway, Brazoria County,-TX Page 2 of 10
Wetland Impact Assessment: The proposed project will be evaluated to identify methods
to minimize wetland impacts, if any. If wetlands will be impacted by the project, an
explanation of cost and technical factors, as applicable, such as discussion if there is no
practicable alternative to the construction will be included in the environmental
document. Additionally, if required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, appropriate
wetland permitting and mitigation will be proposed for wetland impacts. This task
includes inspecting the property under the field procedures outlined in the 1987 Manual
for Wetland Determination by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The proposed project
will be reviewed for any wetland impacts. Transects will be performed across the
property, perpendicular to the nearest watercourse. Samples of vegetation, soils, and
hydrology indicators will be taken at each change in topography or vegetation.
Vegetation samples will be evaluated and recorded at each sample area. Upland
vegetation will be verified, for it is as significant as wetland vegetation in the
determination process. This task includes delineation of the ordinary high water mark at
proposed crossings of the jurisdictional waters of the United States. Inspection of the
property for evidence or lack of wetland hydrology will be performed at each sample
area. Soil samples will be evaluated at each test site for their hydric and non-hydric
characteristics. Non-hydric soils verify upland status and are as significant as hydric soils
in the determination process. As many as 50+ sample sites, evaluating vegetation, soil,
and hydrology criteria,may be necessary.
Hazardous Waste Impacts Assessment: The hazardous wastes impacts will be identified,
to the extent feasible in accordance with TxDOT guidelines. The purpose of this
assessment will be to be identify the potential for recognized environmental conditions;
that is,the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products
on the property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a
material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into the
ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. This subtask will have four
components, as follows:
(1)Obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions
in connection with the property. Some records will pertain to properties within an
additional approximate search distance in order to help assess the likelihood of potential
problems from migrating substances.
(2) Site Reconnaissance: Visually and physically inspect the property and adjoining
properties, to the extent not obstructed by bodies of water, adjacent buildings, or other
obstacles,for evidence of hazardous substances or petroleum products.
(3)Interviews may be conducted to obtain information regarding current and historical
uses of the property that may be related to environmental conditions.
(4)Evaluation and Report Preparation: The information gathered from the previous tasks
will be evaluated, and the findings will be presented in a report that describes, at
minimum, site and vicinity descriptions, current and past uses of the property and
adjoining properties, information from records reviews, information from site
reconnaissance and interviews,conclusions and opinions of impacts, if any,of recognized
environmental conditions. Should additional testing be required,this can be performed as
an additional service.
Historical, Cultural and Archeological Survey: This subtask includes survey/analysis in
three areas,which may result in the generation of a separate technical report on the issue.
The report(s) produced under this task will be included as an appendix to the
08/18/06-GCE SOW—Environmental Services, Cullen Parkway, Brazoria County, TX Page 3 of 10
environmental document, as applicable. The following items are included as part of this
task:
(1) TxDOT precertified person(s), will perform a reconnaissance survey of the project
area in order to identify areas within the corridor where archeological sites may be
encountered, or where there is preservation potential. It is assumed that all lands
associated with the proposed project will be publicly-owned;and that the issuance of a
Texas Antiquities permit will be required prior to fieldwork mobilization. It is also
assumed that the 10 acre detention basin is located in PALM Unit 2 area, and that the 5
acre DB is in a PALM Unit 2a area. Additionally this scope of work includes the critical
assumption that no archeological resources will be found during the excavation and that
shovel testing a limited backhoe trenching will be sufficient to complete the investigation
to the requirements of TxDOT and the THC. Upon approval by TxDOT/THC, twenty
(30)copies of the final report will be provided to the TxDOT/THC.
(2) Qualified cultural resource personnel will perform a windshield survey of the project area, and will review National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the list of Recorded
Texas Historical Landmarks (RTHL), and Texas Historic Sites Inventory to identify
previously designated historic resources. The project's area of potential effects (APE) is
estimated to extend 150 feet beyond the existing ROW boundaries. The purpose of this
survey is to identify and evaluate all buildings, structures, objects, and potential districts
constructed in 1956 or earlier that are located within the APE. This scope of services
assumes up to 10 pre-1956 structures may be located within the survey area, based on a
cursory examination of the USGS 7.5' quadrangle topographic and historic Texas
Highway Department county highway maps.
(3) This task also includes review to identify whether sufficient information is available
to determine 4(f) status. Should sufficient information be available, then the NRHP
criteria will be used to evaluate significance and for integrity to evaluate the 4(f)
properties, as applicable, and will provide a report of the data in conformance with
FHWA 4(f) policies. Should the 4(f) issue be eliminated from further consideration,
detailed information explaining the issue will be provided as a section in the
environmental document.
Traffic Noise and Air Quality Analysis: Traffic noise analysis will be conducted using
FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) using existing (2006) and design year(2026)traffic
volumes in the model. Noise wall analysis, if applicable, will be performed. Air quality
analysis will be performed in accordance with TxDOT guidelines, if required, using
Caline3/Mobile 6A.

City of Pearland
Pearland, Texas
From: Tom Parker AIA
Ref: Enclosed Pool projected cost
As per our conversation I have attached the probable Construction Cost for the following:
8 Lane 50 Meter pool
3 Lane 75 feet warm-up pool
Locker facilities, Storage, Mechanical, and Concession
Pool Deck
Two types of covers
One soft roof(bubble)with supporting walls
Two rigid frames with glass enclosure
Both of the buildings include space for a 5 tier bleacher on one side of the pool.The cost
for the mechanical, plumbing,an d electrical is indicated on the attaché.
We have used current prices at today's market. If the project is constructed in the future
you will need to increase the cost approximately 20% per year. This is compounded per
year not a one time increase.
The product provided to the City-schematic design is as follows:
Schematic design including site plan,floor plan, elevations, and computer model (non
walk through), and adjusted probable construction cost.The overall size of the enclosure is
based upon a foot print of 140 feet wide by 290 feet long. The overall geometry may
change once the design is started and the actual site is established.
It is our understanding that the results will be used as a bond package. There will be
several meetings during the design phase that will be scheduled once the work begins.
The fee to provide the above services is$97,300.00.For those who calculate the fee as a
%of construction cost the fee is 1.3% of the projected construction cost to provide the
bond package.The fee includes geotechnical reports to determine if the site selected is
appropriate for the project.
