the construction contractors or any other entity of their obligations, duties, and
responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all construction methods, means,
techniques, sequences, and procedures necessary for coordinating and
completing all portions of the construction work in accordance with the
AGREEMENT Documents and any health or safety precautions required by

or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine, in general, if
the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner indicating that the
PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with the AGREEMENT
Documents, nor shall anything in the AGREEMENT Documents or this
AGREEMENT between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring
ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to discover
latent defects in the work or otherwise check the quality or quantity of the work
on the PROJECT. If the ENGINEER makes on-site observation(s) of a
deviation from the AGREEMENT Documents, the ENGINEER shall inform the
CITY.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of materials,
systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the services set forth in

or structures that may affect operation or maintenance costs; competitive
bidding procedures and market conditions; time or quality of performance by
third parties; quality, type, management, or direction of operating personnel; and
other economic and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate
PROJECT cost or schedule. Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty
that the CITY's actual PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility,
or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses, projections,
or estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction progress
payments to the construction contractor will be based on the ENGINEER's knowledge,
information, and belief from selective sampling and observation that the work has
progressed to the point indicated. Such recommendations do not represent that
continuous or detailed examinations have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that
the construction contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the
AGREEMENT Documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the

Task 320 – Pecan Creek Water Quality Modeling
TCEQ uses a water quality model to simulate the impacts of a wastewater discharge on the receiving
water body. The model is used to identify permit limits for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total
suspended solids (TSS), and ammonia protective of the receiving water quality standard for dissolved
oxygen.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 124F6134-73BC-4C9F-9631-225367AA0B04
Revised February 8, 2021 Page 15 of 17
Around the year 2000, TCEQ updated the modeling protocol and applied it during the City’s permit
renewal. Using the updated modeling approach, TCEQ could not identify practical permit limits. In
response, the City, in cooperation with TCEQ, developed a site-specific model to identify practical permit
limits. TCEQ accepted the modeling approach and the limits developed in the early 2000s are still in
effect in the current permit.
A permit amendment will require updating the model, especially with regard to the increased permit
flow. Updating this model is not straightforward since this model was calibrated based on field data and
the increases considered during the model development did not predict results that adhered to TCEQ’s
effluent set guidelines. In addition, the modeling platform used for the previous assessment is only used
for renewals, and amendment applications require using a current model version. Importing or
converting the old model files to the new format is not possible, a new model using the new platform
will be required.
TCEQ provided the ENGINEER with the existing model, associated files, and memos. The review of the
old water quality model indicates that the receiving water may have assimilative capacity beyond 21
MGD, however, new data and the new modeling software may lead to a different conclusion.
ENGINEER will perform the following tasks:
· ENGINEER will use available data, including water quality data in the receiving water, and
TCEQ accepted protocol, to develop a new water quality model to identify BOD, TSS, and
ammonia permit limits needed to protect the water quality standard.
· ENGINEER will adhere to TCEQ guidance, model calibration will be necessary, significant
effort may be required for model calibration because of the complex dynamics in lake
backwater conditions.
· ENGINEER will notify the City if additional site-specific data collection is necessary, such
as to update the bathymetry data in the model. ENGINEER will work with TCEQ water
quality modeling staff during the modeling approach to ensure that the approach will be
acceptable to the TCEQ.
· The ENGINEER will develop a re-rate plan for the City including compiling necessary permit
application documents for a new Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES)
permit with TCEQ.
Scope Item Assumptions:
· This task does not include development of the model in a different platform. Task 340
Additional Water Quality Modeling may be used by the City, if switching to a different
modeling platform is required by TCEQ.

· The fee for Water Quality Modeling is to be billed on a time and materials, not to exceed
basis.
Meetings:
· Meetings for this task are covered in Task 310.
Deliverables:
· Water Quality Modeling files approved by TCEQ for the City’s records
· Relevant correspondence with TCEQ for the City’s records
Task 330 – Permit Application Submission and Approval Support
ENGINEER will provide services related to technical and regulatory review of the draft TPDES permit
prepared by the TCEQ, which includes the following:
· ENGINEER will assist the City in response to TCEQ requests for additional information
during the technical review of the permit application. ENGINEER also will assist the City in
tracking the application through the permitting process. TCEQ may request minor
changes to the application during the technical review process. ENGINEER will provide
the City with necessary changes to ensure the public viewing copy is up to date.
· ENGINEER will review the initial draft permit and assist the City with a written response,
including requests for changes to the permit. ENGINEER will review TCEQ’s revised draft
permit for consistency with any requested changes. ENGINEER may also communicate via
telephone with TCEQ permitting staff during this process. For purposes of this scope, it is
assumed that the revised draft of the permit will be acceptable to the City and further
rounds of draft permit review will not be necessary.
· A public notice of the TCEQ’s decision to amend the permit will be required by the TCEQ.
Bilingual notification requirements may require additional publication in Spanish.
ENGINEER will assist the City with publication of notices, including working with the
appropriate newspapers to ensure notices are correct and published as required.
ENGINEER will also obtain the required proof of publication and will submit necessary
documentation to the TCEQ. The cost of publication, payable to the newspapers, will be
the responsibility of the City.
· ENGINEER will review the final issued permit to verify that the permit reflects the
conditions that the City accepted during the draft permit process. ENGINEER will contact
TCEQ to make necessary corrections, if necessary.
Meetings:
· No additional meetings are included in this task
Deliverables:
· Copies of permits as outlined above
Task 340 – Additional Water Quality Modeling Allowance

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
