THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance accepts an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and
Caldwell, Inc. for consulting engineering services relating to the design for three arroyo
crossings on the Wildhorse Creek for the Southern Colorado Clinic Extension of the
sanitary main.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On November 12, 2018 the City Council Approved Resolution No. 14081, selecting Brown
and Caldwell, Inc as the Engineer of Record for the Wastewater Treatment Department.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department is requesting design services to armor the crossings on the
Wildhorse Creek to minimize the depth of the sanitary sewer main as well as the
construction cost for the Southern Colorado Clinic Extension sanitary sewer which
crosses the Wildhorse Creek at three different locations. Geotechnical reports indicate
that both groundwater and bedrock are present at deeper elevations. Armored pipeline
crossings are required to cross the Wildhorse Creek with minimum cover while protecting
the main and avoid installing the sanitary sewer main deep into bedrock and groundwater.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the agreement with Brown and Caldwell to provide design services for the
arroyo crossings will not exceed $258,217. Funds are available from the Sewer User
Fund and have been appropriated to Project No. WW1402.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
The no-action alternative increases the construction costs significantly and creates
maintenance challenges for the Wastewater collection crew.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
Attachments:
Professional Services Agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell,
Inc.

Appendix A – Detailed Scope of Services
Project Overview
rd
The City of Pueblo (COP) is currently working with a 3 party consultant, NorthStar Engineering
(NorthStar), to design the Southern Colorado Clinic Sanitary Sewer Outfall. The COP is concerned about
the currently designed depth of sewer which will increase construction costs due to its depth in bedrock
and result in challenging operation and maintenance. The COP has asked Brown and Caldwell (BC) to
provide data collection and design services related to an alternative design for four (4) arroyo crossings.
This effort is independent of NorthStar’s project work and is anticipated to require NorthStar to adjust
their design, plans and specifications as necessary to accommodate the Brown and Caldwell arroyo
crossings design which will each terminate at the adjacent manholes each side of the arroyo where
NorthStar’s project will continue.
This document describes BC’s scope of engineering and design services for this work.
The work will be divided into two parts, preliminary and final design. Preliminary design will include the
following:
Review Geotechnical Engineering Report, currently ongoing by Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon)
(provided under separate contract). Provide additional geotechnical services in the form of
laboratory test of rock samples and permitting of monitoring holes to monitoring wells.
Perform scour analysis and provide a Preliminary Design Letter Report outlining results and design
recommendations for minimum depth of sewer bury (bottom of arroyo to top of pipe).
Recommendations to include protection measures for sewer pipe below the channel bottom along
with backfill and associated armoring requirements.
Identify necessary permits for the BC responsible sewer design segments of the project and develop
a permitting matrix to include a list of agencies/stakeholders, approach and constraints to obtaining
permits, and an implementation schedule related to those sewer segments. BC will include
applicable permit requirements into the construction contract documents. With assistance of the
COP, BC will review requirements with the permitting agencies and draft related permit forms. When
required, BC will provide permit forms to COP for execution. Anticipated permits include:
o Pueblo County Floodplain Development Permit
o Pueblo County Special Use Permit
o City of Pueblo P&Z Special Use Permit
o US Army Corps of Engineering Section 404 – Nationwide Permit 58 and Preconstruction
Notification
Determine suitability of existing mapping/surveying to allow final design to proceed. If this survey is
not suitable, BC can, as an option, perform topographical surveying (via a subconsultant) at
additional cost unless the COP would prefer to handle the survey separately.
Coordination with NorthStar to share locations and elevations of sewers at ends of crossing designs
to allow NorthStar to update their design to align with the BC designed sewer depths and pipe end
points

Pueblo Sewer Crossing Design Scope of Services - Rev4.docx
Appendix A – Detailed Scope of Services
Final design will include the development of two (2) standalone final design packages as follows:
Final Design Package 1 – Southern Colorado Clinic - Sanitary Sewer Outfall - Arroyo Crossing Project:
City is responsible for this project and is hiring BC for design, bid and construction for a segment
of sanitary sewer that includes these arroyo crossings.
Design of three (3) arroyo crossings. This includes the following two (2) pipe segments:
o Crossing 2: Approximate Sta. 30+92.54 to Sta. 34+88.15 (As shown in NorthStar Sewer
Outfall drawing set)
Southern crossing of Wildhorse Creek (just north of junkyard)
o Crossings 3 & 4: Approximate Sta. 4+60.00 to Sta. 8+80.00 (As shown in NorthStar
Sewer Outfall drawing set)
Two-pronged tributary of Wildhorse Creek (aka Wildhorse Creek Tributary 2)
Final Design Package 2 – Southern Colorado Clinic - Filing No.1 – Wildhorse Creek Crossing Project:
A third-party developer is responsible for design, bid and construction of the proposed sanitary
sewer that includes this crossing of Wildhorse Creek. For this project, the City is hiring BC to
solely perform geotechnical services, preliminary and final designs for a standalone bid package
for a single arroyo crossing. The primary intent of this package is to confirm a reasonable depth
for this single arroyo crossing as it may affect down steam system elevations. We understand
that the City does not plan to bid this work and therefore does not intend to hire BC for bid or
construction related services. We understand this final design package may be shared by the
City with an unrelated third-party developer as a reference for potential coordination or
modifications to the developer’s own separate system extension design.
Design of one (1) pipe arroyo crossing.
o Crossing 1: Approximate Sta. 42+00.00 to Sta. 46+00.00 (As shown in NorthStar Filing
No. 1 drawing set)
Northern crossing of Wildhorse Creek (at future Parker Boulevard extension)
Bid and construction phase services for Final Design Package 1. No bid or construction phase
services provided for Final Design Package 2.
This work includes the following phases:
Phase 100 – Project Management and Administration

Appendix A – Detailed Scope of Services
with the permitting planning and design-phase coordination of permits and evaluations only for the
design location associated with the services provided herein. Activity under this task will be initiated in
preliminary design and continue through final design.
This task includes the following activities:
Conduct regulatory analysis and prepare a Permitting Matrix that identifies permits, licenses,
agreements, and similar approvals required for design and construction of the Project.
BC will provide services to assist COP with necessary permitting as required by the pipeline work
associated with this scope of services only. Such permitting may consist of working with local,
state, and federal agencies. Necessary permits for this work may include permits through the
United States Corps of Engineers (USACE), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
Colorado Department of Health and Environment, Pueblo County, and City of Pueblo.
BC will coordinate the design documents to include permit requirements and a list of permits
required to be obtained by the Contractor will be referenced in the specifications.
To comply with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, BC will conduct a stream and wetland
delineation for waters of the United States (WOUTS) based on the likelihood of open cut
construction through Wildhorse Creek and associated tributary(ies). Based on the project scope
being related to water-related linear infrastructure, a Nationwide Permit 58 (NWP 58) will likely
be suitable, and each stream crossing can be considered a single project and permitted under a
NWP 58. The threshold is ½ acre of jurisdictional waters, and each crossing will need to meet
that threshold individually. Per the Colorado Regional Conditions for the Nationwide Permits, a
pre-construction notification (PCN) will be submitted to the USACE for authorization of WOTUS
impacts. Required components of the PCN include project/applicant details, WOTUS delineation,
impacts analysis, avoidance, and minimization discussion, preliminary threatened and
endangered (T&E) species analysis and cultural review. (Please note: If additional T&E or cultural
information, surveys, reporting, or coordination is required by the USACE, additional scope and
fees will be required.)
As part of the Section 404 permitting due diligence, BC has completed a species review using
the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) desktop review for potential
Endangered Species Act protected species. Based on this review, the following species were
listed as potential for occurrent in the project vicinity – Canada lynx, gray wolf, eastern black rail,
green back cutthroat trout, and monarch butterfly. Based on preferred habitat and
understanding of where currently, the black rail could have habitat in the project area (but
unlikely) and the monarch butterfly habitat (milkweed species) should be assessed during the
wetland stream delineation. It is not anticipated that habitat or species are present in the
project area, but a field review and concurrence letter to the USFWS should be prepared. This
includes the desktop review of habitat preference, field review during wetlands and streams
delineation, and preparation of a letter of concurrence to the USFWS of our finding and request
they agree not present in the project area. This letter will be included in the PCN for the USACE
permit process.
o (Please note that our proposal does not include any field surveys for ESA-listed species.
These services can be added through amendment as required.) BC will make
recommendations with regards to future permitting based on the required construction
and discovery of protected species habitats. If this work triggers a consultation with the
USFWS under ESA, this will be specifically communicated to the City.

Appendix A – Detailed Scope of Services
Also, as part of the Section 404 permitting due diligence, BC will conduct a desktop evaluation of
the Project Area for cultural and historic resources using records and database review from
common sources. It is anticipated no resources will be impacted based on this assessment. A
concurrence letter will also be sent to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) that will be
included in the PCN for the Section 404 permit. Please note that our proposal does not include
any field surveys for cultural or historic resources. These services could be added through
amendment as required).
Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald Eagles Act, a review of migratory birds
associated with the project footprint will be assessed and the observation of active or potentially
active raptor nesting sites will be documented during the stream and wetlands delineation.
Based on what is noted, the technical specifications for the construction bid documents will be
updated to reflect areas to be avoided during specific seasonal windows and activities that shall
be implemented to comply with these statues.
Finally, during the field surveys, active or previously active prairie dog burrows will be
documented. If observed, a western burrowing owl survey will need to be conducted (Separate
scope and fee provided if necessary). There are regulations requiring buffering the distance of
land disturbance during key seasonal windows and/or sequencing construction activities to
avoid burrowing owl nesting activities.
Task Assumptions
If additional T&E or cultural information, surveys, reporting, or coordination is required by the
USACE, additional scope and fees will be required
Proposal does not include any field surveys for ESA-listed species. These services could be
added through amendment as required
Proposal does not include any field surveys for cultural or historic resources. These services
could be added through amendment as required.
CDPHE stormwater and dewatering permits shall be the responsibility of the selected contractor.
BC is not providing permit support for these State permits.
Permitting shall only pertain to the portion of sewer pipeline associated with this scope of
services. Permits required beyond these limits shall be the responsibility of others.
2.3Preliminary Design - Letter Report
The Preliminary Design Letter Report is a narrative description of the design criteria and installation
solutions along with final recommendations used in the subsequent design document development,
within following phases, to meet the COP’s project requirements and objectives. The Letter Report will
include the following:
Identification of technical assumptions made, site requirements, and technical design criteria for
use in Final Design.

2.4Topographic Survey Evaluation
The COP has existing survey data that is expected to be used and relied upon for the preliminary and
final design work. BC will evaluate this information including control points, coordinate system (Colorado
State Plane South Zone, NAD 1983 and USGS NVD 1929, feet), utility locations (ASCE 38-02 and SB 18-
167; SUE level B), accuracy of data, mapping standards, and other information. Survey must be stamped
by a professional surveyor in the state of Colorado.
If this topographic survey is not suitable for the final design, COP, at its option may request that the work
be conducted by BC and their subconsultant, Manhard Consulting. Additional fee has been provided for
these services. Topographic survey work assumes the City will provide an existing control network and
monumentation. Survey will be confined to the existing easement width (assumed at 100 feet) as
shown on NorthStar’s drawings and extend to proposed manholes adjacent to the arroyo crossing
locations (assumed at 500 feet per design location).
Site Visits
One (1) site visit is included during this phase to visually observe the “arroyo” crossing locations and to
coordinate with surveyor.
Workshop
The Engineer will organize and attend one (1) Workshop Review Meeting with COP personnel as part of
the Preliminary Letter Report draft deliverable. The workshop is for the following:

Project Assumptions and Limitations
The following assumptions were made in the development of this Scope of Services:
Geotechnical data and recommendations are provided for informational use of BC. Should data
and reports be used by others, it must be verified (Colorado PE stamped) by the responsible party.
BC will be allowed to rely upon this data during the design.
The design of sewers at the arroyo crossings can be accomplished without the use of deep
foundation systems or structural support systems (such as an aerial crossing). These can be
added with additional fee, if necessary.
Topographical Survey: Survey data has been obtained by others for the project areas. However,
age and completeness of this data is unknown. Existing survey data will be evaluated by BC for
use in development of the final design documents. It is assumed that the existing topographical
data is accurate and will not be independently verified if deemed to be complete, reliable and
usable for BC final design. However, if this data is determined not to be suitable, additional scope
and fee has been included on this scope of services to accomplish this task.
We are not aware of existing utilities being located in the areas of the arroyo crossings and
therefor, no utility test holes (potholes) or SUE level A data is anticipated to be needed for the
design. This work is not included and has not been provided for in this scope of services. Should
this work be required, BC can provide a scope and fee for these services.
BC’s sewer design alignment (location of the arroyo crossings) will rely on the NorthStar existing
design of the Southern Colorado Clinic Sanitary Sewer Outfall for location of the arroyo crossings.
Northstar remains the sole engineer in responsible charge for the overall system and layout of the
Southern Colorado Clinic Sanitary Sewer Outfall and is solely responsible to meet any and all
appropriate Local, State, and Federal codes, standards and regulatory requirements.
A third-party developer and their engineer of record is responsible for design, bid and construction
of the proposed sanitary sewer that includes the Wildhorse Creek crossing (referred to as Final
Design Package 2 in the scope of services). For this project, the City is independently hiring BC to
solely perform geotechnical services, preliminary and final design for a standalone bid package for
a single arroyo crossing. The primary intent of this package is to confirm a reasonable depth for
this single arroyo crossing as it may affect downstream system elevations for the Wildhorse Creek
Crossing extension section. We understand that the City does not plan to bid BC’s design
package, therefore does not intend to hire BC for bid or construction related services. We
understand this final design package may be shared by the City with an unrelated third-party
developer as a reference for potential coordination or modifications to the developer’s own
separate system extension design. If the City provides BC’s design of this single arroyo crossing to
the Developer, any use and interpretation of requirements will be at the Developer and their
Professional Engineer’s own risk. BC will not be contracting separately with the third-party
developer or their engineer.
BC assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or quality of design work by others to
verify connectivity is acceptable. BC assumes no responsibility for delays to BC schedule because
of delays by others in making such verifications.
BC assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or quality of design work by third
parties. Review and/or recommendations of design work by third parties is not provided for in this
scope of services.

Pueblo Sewer Crossing Design Scope of Services - Rev4.docx
Appendix A – Detailed Scope of Services
BC assumes project is to be designed and constructed via the open-cut method. Scope excludes
tunneling design and associated efforts. Should the project require a trenchless installation, a
scope and fee can be developed to provide a tunnel design for the sewer.
The Preliminary Design Letter Report and other deliverables will be revised once each, pursuant to
the COP’s comments and suggestions.
BC assumes sizing of the sewer has been completed and will be provided by the City. BC assumes
no hydraulic analysis or sewer modeling, or other means of hydraulic capacity verification is
required as part of this project.
BC assumes the City has obtained adequate permanent and temporary access/construction
easements to construct the sewer and complete necessary restoration of arroyos. If additional
easement (temporary or permanent) to construct the sewer or perform restoration work, it shall be
the responsibility of the City to obtain.
A design review comment/resolution log will be maintained to capture formally submitted or
documented COP comments. Changes resulting from comments will be incorporated to the design
documents; however, design will proceed without resubmittal of each design milestone
deliverable. The comment log will capture the resolution to each comment and BC will document
acceptance from the COP to each item logged and resolved.
Design drawing format will be 2D in AutoCAD, based upon COP drawing standards, supplemented
by BC standards, as required.
Deliverables will be submitted in electronic PDF format for COP use. No hard copy deliverables are
provided. Electronic deliverable formats will be limited to PDF, AutoCAD, MS Word and MS Excel.
BC will not provide other electronic formats or any other proprietary or licensed software for use by
the COP. No software will be specifically written for this project. Final design phase will not
commence until all decisions are final and COP approves the Preliminary Design Letter Report.
The anticipated project construction mechanism is a conventional design-bid-build. It is assumed
that COP will lead the bid phase. Bid phases support services shall be provided for in this scope of
work for the three arroyo crossing design package (referred to a Final Design Package 1 in this
scope of services).
This work includes providing design specifications and drawings for two construction contracts.
Construction to include only a single contract advertisement. No additive or deductive alternates
will be included on the bid form or contract documents.
No prepurchase of materials or equipment is expected.
Restoration of site to include seeding and grading. Landscaping or irrigation system is not
included.
Design will be based on federal, state and local codes and standards in effect on the date of the
notice to proceed. Any changes to these codes may necessitate a change in scope.
Investigation and remediation of possible hazardous waste, asbestos, lead paint or other types of
contamination is not anticipated to be required. If evidence is observed in the field or other
information becomes available to warrant investigations, these can be added as additional
services.
