Re: Proposal for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
,~ for Andrew Brown Jr. Park (East) in the City of Coppell, Texas, on behalf of the City of Coppell.
Dear Mr. Griffin:
HalffAssociates, Inc. is pleased to present this fee proposal for FEMA map revisions for Andrew Brown Jr. Park
(East), in the City of Coppell, Texas. Generally, the services will consist of site surveying, revisions to a
previously approved hydraulic study of the site (a 1992 Conditional Letter of Map Revision) to reflect as-built
conditions, and the preparation of an application for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
The entire hydraulic engineering, permitting and surveying effort can be completed for a lump sum fee of
$18,100. A detailed work plan is attached as Exhibit A and an engineering fee estimate is included as Exhibit B.
A suggested schedule is shown on exhibit C.
Please call our offices at 214-739-0094, extension 220, if I can be of further help or if I can answer any questions
regarding this proposal. We look forward to assisting you in the development of this important project. Please
authorize by signing below and return one copy for our files.
Sincerely,
HALFF ASSOCIATES, INC.

1.
As-built Hydraulics, Fully Developed (Ultimate) Landuse Conditions.
Locate Proposed Fully Developed (Ultimate) Landuse Conditions model per the previously
submitted Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) for Andrew Brown Jr. Park East,
Denton Creek only.
2. This proposal does not include any hydraulic modeling, fully developed (ultimate) landuse
conditions, of Cottonwood Creek.
3. Run model to confirm pre-project flood levels per CLOMR request report.
4. Compare surveyed spot elevations with grading plan and proposed condition model per
CLOMR application.
5. Modify the CLOMR proposed hydraulic model to reflect as-built conditions as needed, such as
Possibly a pedestrian bridge near the Cottonwood Creek and Denton Creek confluence.
6. No additional hydraulic study work is included in this proposal to cover the possible extensive
mitigation necessary to result in a no-rise condition. Should extensive mitigation be required,
a special services task may need to be added to this proposal.
7. Execute, debug and plot the as-built hydraulic model. Check Manning's n-values used in
CLOMR and all hydraulic coefficients that may apply.
8. Create water surface elevation and flow velocity comparison tables.
9. Create hard copy and digital copy of all hydraulic models.
10. Plot cross-sections and profile.
11. Write report section that pertains to fully developed (ultimate) landuse conditions.
12. Communication with City of Coppell should discrepancies between as-built conditions and
CLOMR proposed conditions arise. Total number of meetings with the City of Coppell at all
stages of the project not to exceed one (1) coordination meeting and one (1) final signatures
meeting.
IV. As-built Hydraulics, Existing Landuse Conditions for FEMA Submittal.
1. Retrieve CLOMR digital design files, flood plain delineations.
2. Retrieve digital hydraulic models from CLOMR project ^vo 11239, Denton Creek only. This
proposal does not include any hydraulic modeling based on a different effective model than
the one used in the previously approved CLOMR.
3. This proposal does not include any hydraulic modeling, existing landuse, of Cottonwood
Creek.
4. Execute, debug and plot CLOMR models and compare to CLOMR results.
5. Create an as-built conditions existing landuse hydraulic model per the fully developed landuse
model.
6. Execute, debug and plot the as-built conditions hydraulic model.
7. Create water surface elevation and flow velocity comparison tables.

8. Modify slightly both existing landuse model and fully developed landuse model to result in a
no-rise condition in both models if necessary. Modifications do not include extensive re-
design to compensate for adverse as-built conditions that may arise.
9. Locate, execute and debug the floodway model from the previously approved CLOMR
application.
10. Modify floodway model to reflect the as-built existing landuse model above.
11. Create hard copy and digital copy of all as-built conditions hydraulic models.
12. This scope of work does not include any revisions to the Denton Creek or Cottonwood Creek
hydraulic models for the purpose of improving the confluence of the 2 creeks in the FEMA
models or for the purpose of correcting existing errors in the FEMA models. Those errors
exist but are relevant only to areas upstream of Denton Tap Road.
13. This scope of work does not include any revisions to the Denton Creek or Cottonwood Creek
hydrology for any reason, such as but not limited to improving the confluence of the 2 creeks
