SCOPE OF SERVICES SAN GABRIEL ELEVATED STORAGE TANK & 24-INCH PIPELINE

7/27/2020 of 8

The San Gabriel Elevated Storage Tank (EST) & 24-inch Pipeline projects will include the design and construction of a new 1.25 MG (estimated capacity) EST to be located on the same property as the recently constructed San Gabriel East Pump Station, and the ~6,500 linear foot extension of a 24-inch diameter water transmission main. The tank will serve both as elevated storage for the 1127 pressure plane, and as a suction tank for the pump station. The pipeline will allow for the east-west movement of water on the northern portion of the City. These projects are key in further developing the City’s water system, and will assist in providing redundant water supply to portions of the City. As the elevated tank project is specialty work provided by only a handful of Contractors, the tank project and the pipeline projects will be built and constructed under separate construction contracts. Therefore, this Scope and Fee includes separate bid and construction phase services for each. Based on the hydraulics of the distribution system, and per an agreement with the TCEQ related to the San Gabriel East Pump Station, this tank is needed to be in operation no later than the end of 2023. This will allow the system to maintain appropriate pressures in the 1127 pressure plane as demands increase in the northwestern area of the City. Additionally, this tank is required to add overall and elevated storage to the City per TCEQ storage requirements. This tank is identified in the Leander Water Master Plan. The tank will be approximately 135 feet tall, and of “composite” construction (concrete pedestal and elevated steel tank), which will match the 3 existing elevated tanks in Leander. In addition to the tank, the project includes piping, site improvements, retaining walls, drainage improvements, paving, fencing, electrical and controls, and other site improvements. In addition, as the City does not have inspection expertise for this type of specialized construction, this Scope includes the use of a specialty tank inspection company (Boswell & Reyes International) to provide inspection and materials testing for the concrete, steel, and paint of the new tank. The limits of the 24-inch pipeline project will be along the existing and future alignment of San Gabriel Boulevard from Pleasant Hill Road to approximately 500 feet west of Logan Del Way. Certain design tasks have been included under the “not-to-exceed” portion of this task order as detailed in the Scope. These tasks are for design phase items where the final scope is unknown at this time, and therefore the City will be billed against these budgets for actual effort rather than a “lump sum” cost. Design tasks to be handled as “not-to-exceed” include:

• Surveying – it is anticipated that surveying of a construction access route for the project that greatly reduces construction traffic in the Palmera neighborhood will be needed. The exact route and easement requirements will be determined during the design phase. Additionally, portions of the survey performed for future extension of San Gabriel Parkway will be utilized


7/27/2020 of 8

for the pipeline design if they are found to be current and cover the full area needed for pipeline construction. Therefore, the full surveying scope will be determined during the preliminary engineering and research phase of the project.

• Geotechnical Investigation – geotechnical field work and bores will be performed for design of the tank foundation. This foundation is currently assumed to be a concrete ring foundation, but will be further evaluated during design.

• Electrical Design & Construction Administration – work related to electrical design and construction administration will be billed under the not-to-exceed task.

• Structural Engineering – structural engineering related to the design and construction of retaining walls needed around the new tank will be billed under the not-to-exceed task as this scope is currently unknown. The budget is currently a not-to-exceed without prior approval place holder. As the scope becomes clearer during the design phase, the structural engineering task will be finalized and approved by City Staff.

• Bid & Construction Phase Services – bid and construction phase services will be billed based on actual effort, on a not-to-exceed basis.

The following Scope details the items that are included in the design, bid, and construction phases of this project. Note that environmental investigation services have not been included as that task was performed during the San Gabriel East Pump Station project. PHASE I – DESIGN PHASE (LUMP SUM TASKS) 1.

understand the proposed tank will be approximately 135 feet in height with a pedestal diameter of about

40 feet.

The geotechnical investigation and report for the project will include field, laboratory and engineering

phases. The following sections of this proposal include the scope of our services in three study phases, a

cost estimate, an estimated schedule, and proposed terms and conditions.

Field Investigation

Previous borings performed on-site of the San Gabriel Pump Station (Fugro Report No. 04.30171012, dated

November 14, 2017) encountered the Comanche Peak Member of Fredericksburg Group of Limestones.

Fugro will drill four 45-ft deep borings within the proposed tank pedestal footprint. For a composite

1.25 MG capacity tank, 3 borings will be drilled equally spaced at the support wall in addition to a single

boring drilled at the tank center in accordance with industry guidelines. Total drilling footage will be

180 feet.

Laboratory Testing

Laboratory tests (natural water contents, Atterberg limits, and partial gradation analyses) will be performed

to classify soil strata and evaluate plasticity. Unconfined compression tests will be conducted on selected

intact soil sand/or rock specimens to evaluate the compressive strength of the subsurface strata. Swell

tests will be performed if deemed necessary.

Borings will be staked and utilities located prior to drill rig mobilization. Cohesive soil will be sampled using

seamless push tube samplers, while granular or near rock-like materials will be sampled with a split barrel

sampler with a Standard Penetrations Test (SPT). Intact limestone which is encountered will be cored

continuously to allow for limestone characterization and laboratory testing. Completed open boreholes

will be backfilled with a cuttings-bentonite mixture. Groundwater measurements will be made at the time

of boring.

Engineering Report

Engineering analyses of the results of the field and laboratory data will be made to develop geotechnical

design and construction recommendations for the proposed elevated tank foundation. Specifically,

the report will include the following:

1. General subsurface conditions, including boring logs with descriptions of strata, summaries of

laboratory test results, and water levels obtained at the time of drilling;

2. Boring location plan;

3. Recommended foundation type and geotechnical foundation design parameters for the proposed

elevated tank;

4. Discussion of excavation potential;

5. General discussion of OSHA trench safety for preliminary cost estimation purposes (actual design,

installation and performance of trench excavation safety systems are the responsibility of the

contractor);

6. Discussion of groundwater conditions at the time of drilling and its potential effect on construction;

7. Seismic Site Class; and

8. Recommendations for earthwork.

One electronic (PDF) copy of the report will be submitted.

The estimated fee is based on the following:

1. Boring locations will be easily and readily accessible with truck-mounted drilling equipment without

the need for clearing, earthwork or grading. Right of entry will be secured by others.

2. The presence of any on-site utilities will be made known to us. We will notify the Utility Protection

Center (Texas One-Call) at least 72 hours prior to mobilization to the site.

3. On-site maintenance personnel will clear boring locations of site-specific underground utilities;

4. The center of the tank will be surveyed by others prior to staking and utility clearance;

5. Scaled site plans indicating structure footprint and topographic information will be provided to

Fugro in CAD file format to facilitate analysis and reporting;

6. Right of entry will be provided by others; and

7. Borings will be drilled during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.

The fee may be exceeded if site conditions are significantly different than anticipated or changes in work

are required or requested. However, the estimated maximum fee will not be exceeded without the client’s

prior authorization. Required and approved additions to the above scope of services would be invoiced in

accordance with the attached fee schedule.

Schedule

Weather and site conditions permitting, field operations can start within two weeks after formal

authorization to proceed. Borings will take approximately 2 to 3 days to complete. Under normal

circumstances, laboratory testing and report preparation will take an additional 3 to 4 weeks to complete.

We will keep you verbally informed of our findings as they become available.

Terms and Conditions

Fees for field work, laboratory testing and report preparation is outlined in Schedule G-2020. Schedule

40.01 describes general contractual conditions including identification of client, on-site responsibilities and

risks, warranty, invoicing procedures, and record and sample maintenance. Schedule 40.01 is attached to

this proposal.
