additional service.
9.Submit 5 copies of the draft technical memorandum to the OWNER for review. Attend one
(1) meeting with the OWNER to review the technical memorandum and receive comments
from the OWNER.
10.Address OWNER comments, and submit 5 copies of the final technical memorandum to the

b.Perform a field survey for a single proposed route identifying the topography, visible
features and above ground improvements such as roads, buildings, fences, creeks
landscaped area, utilities, SUE markings, signs, ponds, bore locations and other
pertinent features as necessary for project design. Survey data will be captured at a
maximum of 50' intervals along the proposed route and will extend approximately
37.5' on each side of the proposed centerline. Benchmarks will be established at
strategic locations along the route for use during the design and construct ion phases
of the project. Sufficient property corners will be located and tied along and adjacent
to the proposed route for determination of right-of-way and/or property lines.
A-7
DocuSign Envelope ID: 90A7DB89-2817-4CCA-8437-28708659B3DB
4.Easement Documents
a.Prepare up to 10 temporary easements documents and 10 permanent easement
documents consisting of an Exhibit "A" (legal description) and Exhibit "B"
(easement sketch). These documents will be prepared upon receipt of the approved
final alignment for the project and will be signed and sealed by a Texas Registered
Professional Land Surveyor. Monumentation will be placed at the permanent
easement corners and angle points, where possible. Centerline of permanent
easement stakes will be provided at 200' intervals.
C.Geotechnical Engineering Services
1.Geotechnical Exploration - It is proposed to provide exploratory core borings along the
pipeline route at about every 1000 feet. Additionally, borings will be drilled at the
junction boxes and on both sides of the two proposed horizontal bore crossing as
described.
a.Select appropriate locations along the proposed pipeline alignment for exploratory
borings and notify Texas 811 and the appropriate City of Denton department of the
planned borings in order to locate existing underground utilities prior to
commencement of the field exploration activities.
b.Subcontract with a drilling contractor to drill the following proposed schedule:
Drill 2 borings each at I-35 W and KCS Railroad/Fort Worth Avenue – 4 @ 30
feet deep
Drill 1 boring each at the Junction Boxes – 2 @ 25 feet
Anticipate up to 4 creek crossings – 8 @ 30 feet
Drill 6 borings, in addition to the above, along the route – 6 @ 20 feet
In addition to the 14 borings for the structures described above, 6 additional
borings are proposed along the line, resulting in a spacing of about one boring per
1000 feet. Therefore, a total of 20 borings is planned as indicated above. We will
attempt to locate these borings along the route in locations accessible to truck-
mounted drilling rigs; no site clearing has been budgeted in this present
geotechnical scope of service.
c.Samples will be collected intermittently using continuous flight augers and either
split-spoon or tube samplers. Rock and rock-like materials may be sampled using
an NX-size core barrel, or tested in-situ using a TxDOT Cone Penetration Test, as
appropriate for the material. At completion, the boreholes will be backfilled with
auger cuttings to the ground surface.
d.Provide an Engineer or Geologist experienced in logging borings to direct the
drilling, log the borings, and handle and transport the samples. Visual classification
of the subsurface stratigraphy shall be provided according to the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS).
2.Laboratory Testing - Testing shall be performed on samples obtained from the borings to
determine soil classification and pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface
materials.
a.The Engineer will select samples for laboratory testing, assign tests, and review the
test results.
b.Laboratory tests will be appropriately assigned for the specific subsurface materials
encountered during exploration, but are expected to include:
A-8
DocuSign Envelope ID: 90A7DB89-2817-4CCA-8437-28708659B3DB
1.Classification tests (liquid and plastic limits and percent passing the no. 200
sieve or gradation)

laboratory work, and the implications for design.
c.Design lateral earth pressures and net allowable loading will be provided for the
junction boxes.
d.General discussion of expected construction related issues.
D.Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)
Teague Nall and Perkins (TNP) will provide Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) services for
the final selected route for this project.
1.These services will be conducted and provided in general compliance with CI/ASCE 38-
02. This standard establishes and defines four quality levels for data collection that are
briefly described as:
Quality Level D (QL-"D")- Generally QL-"D" indicates information collected or derived
from research of existing records and/or oral discussions .
Quality Level C ( QL-"C")- Generally QL-"C" indicates information obtained by
surveying and plotting visible above-ground utility features and by using professional
judgment in correlating this information to QL-"D" information. Incorporates QL-"D"
information. (Limited in this scope, this scope is to cover underground utility crossings)
Quality Level B (QL-"B") - Generally QL-"B", also known as "designating" indicates
information obtained through the application of appropriate surface geophysical methods
to determine the existence and approximate horizontal position of subsurface utilities.
Quality level B data should be reproducible by surface geophysics at any point of their
depiction. This information is surveyed to applicable tolerances defined by the project and
reduced onto plan documents. Incorporates QL-"D"
& QL-"C" information.
Quality Level A (QL-"A ")- Generally QL-"A", also known as "locating", indicates the
precise horizontal and vertical location of utilities obtained by the actual exposure (or
verification of previously exposed and surveyed utilities) and subsequent measurement of
subsurface utilities, at a specific point. Incorporates QL-"D" QL-"C" & QL-"B"
information.
a.These services are for the purpose of aiding the design of the subject project by
providing information related to subsurface utilities in order to allow potential utility
conflicts to be minimized or eliminated.
b.The CONSULTANT will provide services that meet the standard of care for existing
subsurface utility location and mapping as established in CI/ASCE 38-02 by
exercising due diligence with regard to records research and acquisition of utility
A-9
DocuSign Envelope ID: 90A7DB89-2817-4CCA-8437-28708659B3DB
information, including visually inspecting the work area for evidence of utilities and
reviewing the available utility record information from the various utility owners .
However, the CONSULTANT makes no guarantee that all utilities can or will be
identified and shown as there still may be utilities within the project area that are
undetectable or unknown.
c.Facilities that are discovered through field investigative efforts by the
CONSULTANT, but no plan records or ownership data can be identified, will be
hereafter referred to as "unknown" utilities. As part of these services, the
CONSULTANT will provide QL-C information in the project deliverables for all
unknown utilities that may be identified in the field investigation of the project.
Designating and/or locating unknown utilities will typically not be part of the initial
scope of work but depending on the client's needs can be added as additional work
to address concerns of the project impacts of "unknown" facilities.
d.Ground penetrating radar will not be used as a part of the field investigation of the
project site unless that use has been specifically addressed with the scope of services
described herein.
e.Test holes are very limited in size or diameter (typically 12 inches by 12 inches, or
approximately 144 square inches). Given this limited size, some subsurface
conditions may prevent the completion of test holes, including rock(s), groundwater,
large roots, other utilities & structures, etc. Test Hole attempts which cannot be
completed due to site conditions will be documented and noted on the plans.
f.When test holes are used to locate utilities, the nominal pipe sizes of the targeted
utility will be documented and reported by using field measurements of the outside
diameter (OD) of the pipe (to the nearest inch). Based upon this field measured OD,
the nominal pipe size will be determined using typical pipe wall thickness data and
other available data including record information. Pipe diameters that are too large
for measurement, encased or non-encased conduit duct banks and other concrete
encased systems which cannot be adequately measured will be reported based upon
the best available information.
g.The documented results produced by these services represent a professional opinion
and interpretation based upon record information and/or field evidence. These results
may be affected by a variety of existing site conditions, including soil content, depth
of the utility, density of utility clusters, and electro- magnetic characteristics of the
targeted utilities. Also, the lack of and/or poor condition of a trace wire for non-
conductive materials such as PVC, HDPE, etc. in most cases will make the
successful detection and location of the utility unlikely.
h.The CONSULTANT will apply professional judgment to determine which utilities
require additional field effort and/or methods to properly designate and/or locate,
most commonly when record drawings are not available. In such cases, the
CONSULTANT will provide a recommendation or request for additional
services to the CLIENT. Among other methods, a detectable duct redder or other
conductor may be introduced into the line to enable the designation of the utility.
This method is dependent upon approval by the utility owner, as well as access to,
size and condition of the utility.
2.Quality Level A through D Utility Information & Designation. This work includes:
a.Requesting utility records on all crossing utilities from the CLIENT, public utilities
and private utility companies known to provide service within the project area, as
well as other sources, in an effort to develop a comprehensive inventory of utility
A-10
DocuSign Envelope ID: 90A7DB89-2817-4CCA-8437-28708659B3DB
systems likely to be encountered. Record documents may include construction plans,
system diagrams, distribution maps, transmission maps, geographic information
system data, as well as oral descriptions of the existing systems. Record information
will not be used as a substitute for field location methods unless it is determined to
be the most appropriate method for depicting the utilities at the site. The depiction
of utilities from records (QL-"C" or "D") will be based on thorough field and office
activities and shall be based on the most reliable indication of position available.
b.Investigating all utility systems shown on the record drawings that are included
within the project site. Visible surface features and appurtenances of subsurface
utilities found within the project site will also be evaluated. Using appropriate
surface geophysical methods, CONSULTANT will search for detectible indications
of the location of anticipated subsurface utilities.
c.Marking all locations that can be validated, using paint, flags or other devices.
d.Preparing documentation of the utilities encountered and marked, including their
general location, orientation, type & size, if known.
3.Quality Level A Utility Test Holes. CONSULTANT will excavate by air-vacuum or other
minimally invasive methods up to 6 Test Holes, at locations yet to be determined within
the project limits in order to identify the exact horizontal & vertical locations of crucial
utilities . Unless specified otherwise in this scope, the location of the tests holes will be
outside of any paved area. Also, if locating the end of casing is requested the cost will be
based on an hourly charge based on the fee schedule below. This work includes:
a.Providing all necessary personnel, equipment, supplies, management and
supervision needed for the test hole excavation, backfill and restoration.
b.Coordinating with OWNER, property owner, and/or permitting authorities, as
needed and obtaining any required permits, permission or rights-of-entry with help
from the OWNER.
c.Contacting the appropriate one-call system to request utilities to be marked on-the-
ground prior to beginning excavation of test holes.
d.Providing and utilizing appropriate traffic control devices, as necessary, in
conformance with the MUTCD, including any state or locally adopted supplements.
(if closures or additional traffic control equipment is needed other than signs and
cones additional direct expenses will be charged).
e.Preparing documentation for each test hole attempted. This documentation will
include the horizontal and vertical position of the targeted utility or structure, a
general description of the target utility, with condition, material and general
orientation noted, a generalized description of the material encountered in the test
hole, and any other field observations noted during the excavation.
E.Design Phase Environmental Review Services
1.Conduct Site Visit along the Selected Alignment: Once the OWNER has selected the
alignment, FNI environmental scientists will conduct one site visit along the selected
alternative to observe and document existing conditions. FNI’s understanding is that the
OWNER will conduct their own environmental review for the areas located outside of
the Route Study Limits and any permitting required by the project in its entirety. This
site visit will only cover the Route Study Limits shown in the Route Exhibit. The
presence and general locations of waters of the U.S., including wetlands; and potential
A-11
DocuSign Envelope ID: 90A7DB89-2817-4CCA-8437-28708659B3DB
threatened or endangered species habitat will be identified for the area shown in the
Route Exhibit within the proposed permanent and temporary easements.
2.Prepare Technical Memorandum: FNI will prepare a technical memorandum
documenting the results of the site visit including water crossing data forms, photos,
GPS information, and our opinion as to whether or not the project meets the terms and
conditions of NWP 12 without requiring a PCN. The tech memo will only cover the
Route Study Limits shown in the Route Exhibit.
3.Consult with Texas Historical Commission (THC): Projects sponsored by public entities
that affect a cumulative area greater than five acres or that disturb more than 5,000 cubic
yards require advance consultation with the THC according to Section 191.0525 (d) of
the Antiquities Code of Texas. Because the proposed project is expected to exceed these
thresholds, coordination with THC will be required. Once the alignment within the
Route Study Limits has been selected, FNI will prepare maps and photos for that area for
inclusion in the Owner’s letter to the THC describing the project and requesting their
review. Any follow up studies required by the THC are not included in this scope of
services. An archeological survey is not included in this scope of services.
4.Project Team Coordination: FNI environmental scientists will coordinate with the FNI
project team on the findings of the site visit, review the Route Study Limits of design
submittals, and provide input during the design process to assist, if practicable, in the
development of a project that can be authorized under NWP 12 without PCN. It is FNI’s
understanding that all known environmental issues such as the known archeological site
located within the Route Study Limits will be avoided.

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.
