performing the Work.
J. (Modified). ENGINEER neither guarantees the
performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for
any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform the Work in

exercise of ENGINEER's services under this Agreement.
K. (Modified). ENGINEER shall not be responsible for
the acts or omissions of any Contractor(s), subcontractor or

deteriorate or be modified inadvertently or otherwise without
authorization of the data's creator, the party receiving
electronic files agrees that it will perform acceptance tests or
procedures within 60 calendar days, after which the receiving
party shall be deemed to have accepted the data thus
transferred. The party delivering the electronic files will
correct any errors detected within the 60 -day acceptance
period. ENGINEER shall not be responsible to maintain
documents stored in electronic media format after acceptance
by OWNER-

extension of the Project or on any other project shall be at
OWNER's sole risk and OWNER hereby releases
ENGINEER from any liability associated solely with the reuse
of the Documents.
G. If there is a discrepancy between the electronic files
and the hard copies, the hard copies govern.
H. Any verification or adaptation of the Documents for

any surety for or employee of any of them.
2. All duties and responsibilities undertaken
pursuant to this Agreement will be for the sole and

the Site in connection with ENGINEER's activities under this
Agreement.
F. If ENGINEER's services under this Agreement

Page 1 of 15 Pages
(EXHIBIT A - Scope of Work)
Control District (HCFCD), and Hams County. Once the design criteria are selected, the
Engineer will execute the remainder of this contract to the selected criteria. If any
design criteria change after being agreed upon by the Engineer, OWNER, and TxDOT,
any additional design effort toward the corresponding design criteria change will be
considered an Additional Service.
3. Traffic Analysis
Existing traffic volume data, including Turning Movement Counts during a typical
weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday), for each signalized intersection along
Garth Road will be provided by OWNER. Using the existing traffic volumes, the
ENGINEER will work with OWNER /TxDOT to determine certain percent growth
factors or a future design year to determine ultimate traffic design volumes along Garth
Road. These volumes will be used in the traffic analysis.
The ENGINEER will develop a Synchro traffic model for Garth Road existing
conditions. The analysis will be done for the critical AM and PM peak periods only.
The ENGINEER will perform intersection capacity analyses to determine the saturation
flow rates, delay, volume -to -capacity (v/c) ratios, and Level of Service (LOS) for each
intersection along Garth Road. A systems analysis of the traffic model for each of the
peak periods will be performed using the Synchro signal timing optimization tool to
evaluate and compare various measures of effectiveness (MOEs) such as total delay,
stops, and total travel time for various cycle lengths.
Using Synchro's MOEs results, existing field conditions, and traffic engineering
judgment, the proposed number of through and left/right turn lanes at each intersection
along Garth Road will be determined. The proposed lane configurations for each
approach will also be determined as part of the analysis.
4. Conceptual Drainage Analysis
A. Phase 1 Drainage Study
The ENGINEER shall prepare a Phase 1 Drainage Study for the corridor to
establish the existing condition peak flow and water surface elevation in the outfall
channels. The results of this task will be used to evaluate the proposed roadway
profile. The ENGINEER anticipates the following HCFCD outfall channels will
be studied as part of this phase.
➢ 0105-00-00
➢ 0105-10-00
➢ 0105-11-00
➢ 0113-00-00
0128-00-00
The ENGINEER will calculate peak flows at Garth Road. Effective hydrologic
modeling available from HCFCD for 0105-00-00 will be used as the basis for
peak flows for that watershed. The ENGINEER will calculate peak flows for the
following watersheds where effective hydrologic modeling is not available:
➢ 0105-10-00
➢ 0105-11-00
➢ 0113-00-00
0128-00-00
The ENGINEER will determine the watershed contributing to each outfall. The
watershed delineation will be based on record drawings provided by the
OWNER, publicly available aerial topographic information, on -ground survey
obtained in Task 11, and field observations.
Page 2 of 15 Pages
(EXHIBIT A - Scope of Work)
Peak flow will be calculated using Green & Ampt and Clark Unit Hydrograph
Method in general accordance with currently published Harris County Flood
Control District (HCFCD) criteria. Existing condition land uses and impervious
percentage will be based on aerial photography obtained from Google Earth and
field observations.
Peak flows will be calculated for the 10- and 100 -year events.
The ENGINEER will determine the water surface elevation at Garth Road.
Effective hydraulic modeling available from HCFCD for 0105-00-00 will be
used as the basis for water surface elevation for that channel. The ENGINEER
will prepare hydraulic models of the channels below using the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers HEC -RAS hydraulic modeling program.
➢ 0105-10-00 —New hydraulic model
➢ 0105-11-00 —New hydraulic model
➢ 0113-00-00 —Extend hydraulic model from San Jacinto Boulevard Phase 1
➢ 0128-00-00 —Extend hydraulic model from San Jacinto Boulevard Phase 2
Ground geometry for the hydraulic models will be based on publicly available aerial
topographic information and on -ground survey information obtained in Task 11.
Peak flows in the hydraulic models will be based on the hydrologic modeling
performed in this task.

delineation will be based on the watershed mapping performed in Task 1A.A.
The watershed will be subdivided based on the location of roadway drainage
infrastructure such as inlets, ditches, and driveway culverts. Hydrologic and
hydraulic calculations will be in general accordance with OWNER and TxDOT
criteria and will be performed for the 10- and 100 -year storm events.
The ENGINEER will modify the existing condition XPSWMM model based on
the proposed roadway improvements. The ENGINEER will size trunk lines to
convey the peak discharge in general accordance with OWNER and TxDOT
criteria. The ENGINEER will conceptually locate and size up to six detention
basins to reduce the proposed condition peak discharge to less than or equal to
existing condition peak discharge at each outfall in the 10- and 100 -year events.
Detention basin sizing will be performed using the Small Watershed Hydrograph
Method. The ENGINEER assumes the existing infrastructure will remain in place
