F. Subsurface Utility Engineering (Goirondona and Associates)
1. SUE work required for this project will be conducted in general accordance with the
recommended practices and procedures described in ASCE Publication CI/ASCE 38-
02 (Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface
Utility Data). The quality levels used on this project are as follows:
a. Quality Level B - Two-dimensional (x,y) information obtained through the
application and interpretation of non-destructive surface geophysical methods.
Also known as "designating" this quality level provides the approximate
horizontal position of subsurface utilities within approximately one foot,
b. Quality Level A - Also known as "locating", this quality level provides
precise three dimensional (x,y,z) information at critical locations by exposing
specific utilities. Non-destructive vacuum excavation equipment is used to
expose the utilities at specific points which are then tied down by survey.
2. The work areas include the intersection with US Hwy 377 (including the UPRR
crossing), the intersection with FM 2449, the section of FM 1515 to III 35E, and the
KCS Railroad overpass area. SUE drawings signed and sealed by a Texas
Professional Engineer will be provided to be included in the Graham Associates plans
for TxDOT and railroad submittals in these four (4) areas.
The four specific work areas for QL "B" SUE are described as follows:
a) Intersection of US 3771 UP RR:
■ along proposed Bonnie Brae St from 200' west of US 377 to 200' east of UP RR,
■ within the US 377 right of way 800' in each direction from propose Bonnie Brae
centerline and
■ within the UPRR right of way a distance of 150' in each direction.
b) Intersection of KCS RR:
■ along KCS right of way a distance of 500' in each direction from Bonnie Brae
CL.
c) Intersection of FM 1515 (Airport Rd) IN 35 E:
■ along proposed Bonnie Brae right of way from station 207+00 to 215+00 (south
bound 111 -13 5 fi•ontage road),
■ Crossing IH 35 E along existing bridge, and
■ along the parkway along the north bound frontage from Bonnie Brae to the south
500'.
G. Environmental Services (Blanton & Associates & GAI)
The following environmental services shall be performed in support of the Bonnie Brae
Street Improvements Project:
1. Compile existing data and perform an initial desktop analysis of environmental
conditions of the project area. Prepare maps and other data necessary for site visit.
2. Conduct site visit. Verify and characterize the City's mapped Environmentally
Sensitive Areas (ESAs) in the area affected by the proposed project. Perform a
preliminary jurisdictional determination to identify and delineate boundaries of
waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Make note of areas of potential
environmental contamination within the project area that may warrant further
investigation. Evaluate the project area for federally listed threatened or endangered
species habitat.
3. Prepare a draft of the North Central Texas Council of Government's (NCTCOG)
Environmental Review Checklist for the Owner's review and comment. Incorporate
comments and submit the revised checklist to the NCTCOG through the Owner for
review and comment.
4. Coordinate with cultural resources sub-consultant. Review and provide comments on
draft cultural resources report.
5. Coordination with NCTCOG. This task would include answering questions and
providing additional information through the Owner if requested by the reviewing
agencies. This task assumes a maximum of three requests for clarification and
information. Contested application proceedings and requests for multiple site visits
are not included in this task.
6. If the preliminary jurisdictional determination results indicate that the impact to the
waters of the U.S. exceeds 0.1 acre but is less than 0.5 acre, or if a jurisdictional
wetland is identified within the affected area, then GAI will prepare a draft
preconstruction notification (PCN) for coverage of road crossings. Submit the draft
PCN to the Owner for review and comment. Incorporate comments and submit the
revised PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for verification. This
task assumes that any required compensatory mitigation for impacts to waters of the
U.S. would be satisfied by the Owner's purchase of mitigation bank credits.
Preparation of a detailed mitigation plan is not included in this task.
7. Historical Land Use Review - Perform an investigation into prior ownership and past
land uses on the subject property. GAI will attempt to identify obvious uses of the
subject property from the present back to the property's first developed use, or back
to 1940, whichever is earlier. To accomplish this task, GAI will review the following
records (if available):
(i) Interviews with City representatives and property owners/tenants.
(ii) Historical aerial photography.
(iii) City directory abstracts.
(iv) Sanborn fire insurance maps.
(v) Recorded environmental easements or liens on the subject property.
8. Regulatory Agency Records Review GAI will review information found in federal
and state regulatory records for the subject property, including records related to
environmental-related permits, notices-of-violation, and incidents involving use,
disposal, or accidental release of hazardous substances, petroleum products, or other
waste materials. Local records, if available, related to the subject property will also
be reviewed for indications of environmental concern.
9. Site Reconnaissance Visit - GAI will perform a site reconnaissance visit to the
subject property. Existing environmental conditions will be documented on the site.
GAI will look for potential indicators of environmental concerns such as stained soils
or other surfaces, stressed vegetation, exposed piping, and evidence of improper use
or disposal of regulated substances. GAI will document the condition of each
property using photographs. Copies of photographs will be included in the report.
10. Report Preparation - Following the completion of Tasks a) through b), a report will
be prepared for the subject property documenting our findings. The report will
contain a narrative of our findings, recommendations for additional environmental
investigations, as needed, and copies of all data obtained relevant to each subject
property. The report will contain appropriate maps, figures, and photographs.
11. Conduct an archaeological evaluation and submit a Request for State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO) Consultation Form to the Texas Historical Commission
(THC). In addition to the information available through online databases, a review of
projects conducted by AR Consultants (ARC) and other contract archaeological firms
in or near the project area as well as information that may not be available from Texas
Archeological Studies Association (TASA) but will be available from the University
of North Texas will be synthesized in the evaluation. Additionally, an employee of
ARC will visit the project area to take photographs and conduct a windshield survey
of the study area. A letter report is to be provided to the Owner that presents the
findings of the research and recommendations regarding the archaeological potential
for the project and how to proceed. Once the Owner comments on the letter report,
ARC will submit a letter report to the THC for their 30-day review period. The
evaluation will include a database search of the following resources: Texas
Archaeological Site Atlas, historic maps, USGS maps, aerial photographs, geological
maps, county soil surveys, Denton County Appraisal District.
12. If a survey is required, secure an archaeological survey permit from the Texas
Historical Commission (THC). This will require obtaining the signature of an official
with the City of Denton.
13. Conduct a comprehensive cultural resources pedestrian survey of the proposed
roadway. Besides the systematic survey of the proposed route, it is assumed that 75 or
more shovel tests will be excavated in order to meet the guidelines for pedestrian
surveys published by the Texas Historical Commission. Each shovel test will be 30
cm in diameter and will be excavated in 10 cm levels. Soil from the shovel tests will
be passed through '/a" mesh shaker screens. If the clay content of the sample is too
high, the soils will be manually broken and inspected.
Due to the depth that the roadway will be excavated and the shallow depth of the A-
horizon above the pre-Holocene sediments that are described by the Soil
Conseivation Service, it is not expected that mechanical trenching will be necessary.
14. Site boundaries, i.e. the limits of any archaeological sites or structures that are
recognized during survey and testing will be defined on the horizontal plane and
deposit depth will also be defined as necessary,
15. Perform detailed artifact analysis if artifacts are recovered and then prepare a draft
technical report.
16. Records and artifacts will be prepared for curation at the Texas Archeological
Research Laboratory (TARL) at The University of Texas. The cost of records
curation is included in the proposed cost, but if artifacts are recovered, their
preparation for curation and the cost of perpetual curation will be negotiated with
TARL and will be an additional services item.
17. The draft written report will be submitted to the Owner. After comments have been
addressed, it will be submitted to the THC and Corps of Engineers (COE) for review
and comment. The report will meet the standards for cultural resource reports
prepared by the Council of Texas Archeologists (n.d.) and adopted by the THC. The
THC will serve at the official reviewer for the COE, but a copy of the draft report and
cover letter will be submitted to the COE for their review.
18. Revisions of the draft report will be prepared after it has been reviewed and review
comments have been addressed. Once a final draft has been prepared, it will be
resubmitted to the Owner for review and then again to the THC and COE.
19. Curation of records and artifacts will be completed in order to satisfy the permit
requirements.
20. The final technical report will be printed and the necessary copies submitted to the
Owner, the COE, and the THC. One copy of the final report and an archival quality
CD will be submitted to the THC as required by the permit and five copies of the
final technical report and an archival quality CD with the report will delivered to the
Owner.

K. Traffic Engineering (Freese and Nichols)
Part 1. Preliminary Schematic Layouts for alternative to a T-intersection at the
intersection of Airport Road (F.M.1515) at Bonnie Brae.
Geometric layout of the alternative is necessary to confirm that the proposed loop ramp
and directional roadways can be realistically configured, horizontally and vertically,
within the current TxDOT design for the IH 35E/111 35W interchange. The alternative
design concept will need to be promoted to TxDOT as a viable and desirable alterative.
Task 1.1. Provide sketch diagrams of the proposed layout of a "Directional Roadway"
Alternative, indicating approximate dimensions for turn bays and any loop ramps or
weaving sections.
Task 1.2. Meet up to 5 times and review provided materials as needed to develop and
refine the preliminary design of the Bonnie Brae Street/Ahport Road Interchange.
Task 1.3. Meet up to two (2) times with the Design Team and TxDOT to try to get
TxDOT's concurrence with the preliminary interchange as part of future I-35W
improvements and to fund its design and construction.
Part 2. Alternatives Analysis.
Traffic operational analysis will need to be conducted on the proposed alternative
intersection and the current proposed TxDOT design to show the deficient traffic
operations during peak hours and during special events at the new stadium for the current
TxDOT design configuration. The analysis will need to use complex traffic models that
can simulate the complex arrangement of connecting traffic movements at sufficient
detail to assess the delays to each major movement of the proposed alternative.
Upon approval of Part 1 by the City of Denton, analyze the following two alternative
configurations for the intersecting roadways of Bonnie Brae and Airport Road (F.M.
1515) considering options for:
• T-intersection of Airport at Bonnie Brae, and
• "directional roadway" interchange providing a directional ramp from NB IH35W
sei vice road to WB Airport Road and continuous flow-type intersection of Airport
Road with Bonnie Brae Street.
Consideration must be given in both alternatives to the potential need for "changeable
flow" lanes on Bonnie Brae Street to accommodate event traffic.
Task 2.1. Develop design traffic volumes for analysis. Using TxDOT-developed ADT
volumes, information from the Traffic Impact Assessment for the UNT new stadium, and
current traffic data generate peak hour volumes for use in the operational analysis of
typical weekday operations and a special event on a Saturday at the new stadium. Prepare
one-line diagrams of directional design volumes and submit to City of Denton and
TxDOT for review and approval.
Task 2.2. Request review comments on the sketch diagrams of the alternatives and obtain
concurrence on up to four operational configurations for analysis and on the proposed
evaluation methodology and criteria. Develop operational analysis of each alternative
using computerized traffic modeling. Develop models for the AM Peak Hour, PM Peak
Hour and for one hour of an event. Provide avi files of the animation of traffic simulation
of the alternatives. Summarize the operational characteristics of the alternatives.
Task 2.3. Prepare a draft report of findings and submit one copy each City of Denton and
TxDOT, including a DVD with avi files of the simulation of the alternatives.
Task 2.4. Meet with City of Denton and TxDOT to review the findings of the analysis.
Task 2.5. Modify analyses, evaluations and summary of findings based upon review
comments fiom City of Denton and TxDOT. Document the comments and the response
to the comments.
Task 2.6. Prepare a final report of findings and submit one copy each to City of Denton
and TxDOT, including a DVD with avi files of the alternatives.
