SCOPE OF SERVICES & COMPENSATION
Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc.
Proposal for Professional Engineering Services for
Pine Bluff Subdivision Improvements
Project/Limits
Pine Bluff Subdivision Improvements project includes the reconstruction of streets and
storm facilities along Bay Shore Drive, Pine Bluff Street and the lettered streets (A thru
F) within the Pine Bluff Subdivision. Approximately 50% of the sanitary sewer system
within the subdivision is aged concrete pipe and will replaced as part of the project. The
remaining 50% of the sewer is believed to be new or recently rehabilitated pipe. New
water line and appurtenances will be installed.
General
Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc. (CobbFendley) will perform professional engineering
services as follows: provide topographic survey for Pine Bluff Subdivision, drainage
study and civil design drawings for construction.
Sub Consultants
CobbFendley shall subcontract the geotechnical investigation and any other services not
specifically offered by CobbFendley to perform the tasks described in this scope of
service. Below is a list of the consultants that we anticipate on using for this project:
Geotechnical Investigation – Terracon Consultants
Construction Estimate
The preliminary Opinion of Probable Construction Cost for this project are attached as
Exhibit C.
BASIC SERVICES
CobbFendley will provide the following engineering services as part of its basic service.
The specific items of service include:
Drainage Study:
1. Review drainage report findings and recommendations made in the City Wide
Drainage Report (01/09), Report #3 (10108) and Impact Analysis for Sheet Flow
Relief Structures (10/09).
2. Perform an existing condition hydrologic drainage analysis for existing roadside
ditch to determine the relevant rainfall runoff flow rates for areas contributing to
the project location. The existing condition analysis will be performed to
document drainage boundaries, flowrates, outfall locations, and overland
sheetflow patterns. A hydraulic analysis will also be performed to quantify
relevant existing condition flows and determine water surface elevations

City of La PorteJuly 6, 2016
Pine Bluff Subdivision Improvements
conveyed via the roadside ditches along Pine Bluff St and Bay Shore Dr to the
outfall(s).
3. Determine the amount of increased impervious cover associated with the
reconstruction of the streets and additional sidewalks to determine the increase
in runoff conveyance resulting from the proposed improvements. Alternatives will
be investigated to determine the most efficient drainage system(s) for conveying
proposed condition flows to the outfall locations. This study will identify required
drainage facility types, ditch sizes and slopes, driveway culvert sizes and slopes,
or storm sewer sizes and slopes, to document the improvements that are
required and where.
4. Increases in flow to outfall locations will be mitigated by modifying the
contributing existing condition drainage boundaries. Allowing for increased
conveyance directly to the bay yet no increase in flow to the SH146 drainage
system.
5. A report will be created to document the recommended alternative of this
analysis with maps, exhibits and supporting calculations.
Design Phase Services:
1. Perform utility records research on existing underground utilities, overhead
utilities, and any pipeline crossings within the project limits.
2. Review existing water and sewer services to the project area and provide
necessary improvements like fire hydrants, valves, manholes, services leads and
line accessibility for maintenance.
3. Investigate the roadway alignment at Pine Bluff Drive/Pine Bluff Street and
Bayshore Drive in order to straighten out the entrance as much as possible within
the existing right-of-way provided.
4. Investigate and provide a recommendation on removing the section of pavement
between Pine Bluff Drive and Bayshore Drive.
5. Consider the following roadway cross section options, materials and cost
estimates:
Concrete or Asphalt Pavement with Storm Sewer
Concrete or Asphalt Pavement with Roadside Ditch
Combination of Storm Sewer and Roadside Ditch
6. Investigate and determine optimal pavement width options in order to fit the
roadway and utilities within the existing right-of-way while providing access to
utilities for maintenance and service.
7. Prepare a presentation and attend City Council meeting to present findings and
make recommendations.
8. Design the roadway vertical alignment to achieve the necessary cover for the
new storm sewer system. Determine roadway grades and cross slopes to
Page 2 of 5
20
City of La PorteJuly 6, 2016
Pine Bluff Subdivision Improvements
ensure proper drainage. Determine ditch grades and/or storm sewer grades and
inlet locations and ensure positive drainage of the existing project area.
9. Provide construction plan drawings. The plans will include, at a minimum, the
following.
Cover Sheet Water and Sewer Layout
Overall Project Layout Storm Sewer Layout
Typical Cross Sections Survey Control Map
SWPP Plan Plan and Profiles Sheets
Demolition Plan Traffic Control Plan
General Notes and Details
10. Prepare contract bidding documents consisting of technical specifications and
contract documents outlining the construction contract requirements.
11. Prepare a 60% submittal and a 90% submittal of the construction documents for
review and comment. Once all comments are received by all entities involved,
CobbFendley will finalize the construction documents for bidding.
12. Provide preliminary and final construction cost estimates.
Bid Phase Services:
1. Distribute digital plans and specifications to City for placement in
PublicPurchase.com. Address questions form potential bidders concerning the
Project’s construction documents and prepare addendums as necessary.
2. Attend Pre-Bid and Bid Opening.
3. Evaluate bids and qualifications of the apparent low bidder and provide a
recommendation of award letter.
4. Prepare and provide the City with three (3) sets of hard copy award documents
and plans.
Construction Administration:
1. Attend and conduct preconstruction conference
2. Review and respond to all submittals and request for information (RFI’s)
regarding the project improvements. Prepare change orders as necessary.
3. Attend and conduct final acceptance inspection of the project and prepare punch
list as necessary.
4. Provide City with necessary close out documents, including as-builts of the
project.

ADDITONAL SERVICES
Surveying
CobbFendley, as the project surveyor shall:
1. Establish horizontal and vertical project control throughout the site. Vertical
control will be tied to current TSARP datum.
2. Perform a Category 6, Condition II topographical survey of the project area in
accordance with the requirements of the Texas Society of Professional
Surveyors to locate existing utilities, appurtenances and pavement providing
cross sections of the following existing features: natural ground, concrete curbs
and pavement. Elevations will be obtained at a maximum of 50-ft intervals, right-
of-way to right-of-way, plus 10 feet on each side.
