Halff Associates, Inc. has offices in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, San Antonio, and Chicago consisting of approximately 200 employees, including 105 planners, engineers and scientists. Our technical teammembers hold over 131 degrees from 50 universities, and offer over 1000 years of cumulative engineering and planning experience. Our personnel strive to maintain our position in the forefront of engineering and planning, through advanced education, participation in professional societies, technical instruction, and the authorship of research articles and presentations. A. Size, History and Overall Experience of the Firm Albert H. Halff Associates, Inc. is a minority-owned consulting engineering firm with thirty-nine years of experience. The firm is currently ranked 365th in ENR's list of the top 500 design firms in the United States, and is headquartered in Dallas, with branch offices in Fort Worth, Arlington, San Antonio, and Chicago. Since its beginning in 1950 with two employees, the firm has grown to approximately 200 employees, including: 41 Civil Engineers* 10 Transportation Engineers 21 Hydrologic & Hydraulic Engineers** Inspectors 2 Chemical Engineers 3 Mechanical Engineers 3 Electrical Engineers 6 Structural Engineers 6 Environmental Engineers 5 Environmental Scientists 5 Landscape Architects 1 Geologist 2 Planners 1 Specification Writer 3 Construction 32 Surveyors 2 Computer System Analysts 6 Computer-Aided-Design/ Drafting (CADD) Operators 28 Administrative and Clerical Staff 24 Draftsmen/Technicians TOTAL 201 Ten civil engineers and two survey coordinators are Registered Public Surveyors. Three hydraulic engineers are Registered Irrigators. Members of the staff have published 150 technical papers, hold 88 licenses of engineering registration and 14 patents, and include officers in several state and national professional societies. A key to Halff Associates' growth has been our commitment to evaluate and adopt new technologies early in their development rather than taking a wait-and-see approach. This progressive philosophy is evidenced by our purchase of an IBM 1130 computer in 1969, a time when mechanical calculators were used in most design offices. Our computer facilities are continuously evolving to provide our engineers and environmental staff the latest technology to extend their productivity and improve their accuracy. Halff Associates was the first civil engineering firm in Dallas to equip every staff engineer with an interactive computer terminal, thereby fully integrating the use of computers in day-to-day design. Six of the firm's twelve Intergraph CADD stations have also been assigned to engineers for direct use in the design process. Our recently acquired ERDAS satellite image scanner is currently being used to evaluate environmental impacts for major construction projects. A significant factor in the success of Halff Associates has been our constant philosophy of staff development through continuing education. Our staff members are our greatest resource, and we protect that resource in a rapidly-changing industry through continued training. An example of this training is our in-house TAGER studio. This facility allows our engineers to participate in graduate levl course-work from Dallas area universities over live television broadcast. Additionally, a series of weekly in-house seminars update and train our personnel in the latest engineering design, surveying, and construction techniques, computer use, hydraulics, and other technical subjects. Our seminars are videotaped for later use by new staff members and for future reference by engineers. HalffAssociates has been a leader in flood plain management, watershed planning, hydraulics, hydrology, and drainage design in Texas. Our method of comparison of alternatives in our Peaks Branch flood control report served as the state-of-the-art model for the text, Multiobjective Decision Analysis with Enqineering and Business Applications (1982). The firm uses a wide variety o~ hydrologic and hydraulic techniques and programs to determine design flood discharges and elevations. Design storm and flood elevation discharges have been established in studies of fourteen major watersheds in Dallas County. Techniques that were applied and refined in these studies resulted in a publication entitled "The Hydrology and Hydraulics of Flood Plain Studies." The firm has also determined flood discharges and elevations for Federal flood insurance studies in 15 Texas cities, on watersheds with areas ranging from one square mile to several thousand square miles. Our personnel have developed wide range expertise in the use of flood frequency techniques for both urban and rural watersheds. The firm stresses: (1) familiarity with municipal, Corps of Engineers, Hydrologic Engineering Center, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U. S. Weather Bureau, U. S. Geological Survey, and other authority's technical procedures; (2) thorough inspection and mapping of watersheds; (3) accurate and efficient flood plain delineation procedures, using HEC-1, HEC-2, and other programs; (4) formulation of innovative and practical flood protection plans; (5) client input and consultation in the study process; (6) clear graphics and use of laymen's language in reports; and (7) application and refinement of state-of-the-art advances. Halff Associates has facilities which make the firm highly-qualified to develop watershed management plans. We have one of the largest computer facilities of any A/E within the metroplex. Additionally, we have two Computer-Aided- Drafting/Design systems, consisting of twelve work stations. The CADD system permits rapid revisions to drawings, provides outstanding quality drafting, accepts digitized topographic data, and provides flexibility not possible with manual drafting.

Bo Examples of Watershed Manag~ment, Flood Plain or Storm Water Management Plans: Following is a partial list of projects performed by Halff Associates. CITY OF ALLEN GREENBELT/LINEAR PARK STUDY Study Cost: $110,000 Client: City of Allen, Texas Reference: Mr. Mark Thornton (214) 727-9171 Status: Study completed in October, 1986. The City Council approved the study and has incorporated the document as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Master Plan. The plan is being implemented and is prompting revision of several ordinances and criteria governing the planning and use of the City's flood plains. Project Description~ Halff Associates prepared an environmental inventory, flood plain management plan and recreation plan for the major tributaries in Allen, Texas. The upper Rowlett Creek watershed was studied to determine the future fully developed land use. A flood plain model was developed to correspond to the runoff generated from a 100 year flood event occurring on the fully developed watershed. The new flood plain was delineated on the city's topographic maps to evaluate flooding locations and plans were developed to eliminate the flooding sites. A recreation plan was developed for the 1300 acre flood plain, containing a continuous hike and bike trail, an equestrian trail, nature preserves, and active and passive recreation facilities. An implementation plan was developed which modified the development process and recommended the re-writing of ordinances relevant to flood plain development. FIVEMILE CREEK FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT STUDY Study Cost: $349,000 Client: City of Dallas Reference: Mrs. Tommie McPherson (214) 948-4440 Status: Study completed in December 1976 The Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (signed November 17, 1986) authorizes Federal funds for construction. Project Description: The Fivemile Creek Flood Plain Management Study, prepared for the City of Dallas' Public Works Department, involved 49 square miles of flood plain along Fivemile Creek and its tributaries in southern central Dallas County. After detailed study of the hydrologic and environmental characteristics of the area, Halff Associates proposed channel improvements, a levee system, storm water retention basins, and a 22 mile parkway system, to promote the environmentally-safe use of available land. These improvements are designed to minimize damage to over 550 flood-endangered structures and to encourage the growth and development of the area to the benefit of over 157,000 residents within the Fivemile Creek basin. Fivemile Creek Pilot Channel Design Project: Halff Associates designed a 540-foot pre-stressed concrete beam railroad bridge over Fivemile Creek, including the realignment of the existing Missouri- Kansas-Texas Railroad tracks. The project also included the design of 16,000 feet of 220-foot wide channel for Fivemile Creek, from Bonnie View Road downstream to the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge and the relocation of 4,500 linear feet of Youngblood Road. The Fivemile Creek channelization project is part of a flood plain management system for southeast Dallas, developed for the City of Dallas by Halff Associates. The approximate cost of work was $4,000,000. A summary of the Fivemile current status is shown. RECOMMENDATION IMPLEMENTATION COSTS PROJECTED ACTUAL STATUS A.

The development of management alternatives was based on a fully-developed land use condition of the White Rock Creek watershed. The most economical solution for flood plain management, construction of a large straight channel, would have destroyed Tenison Municipal Golf Course and Park, and the adjacent open space environment. A detailed formula was devised to classify and quantitate proposed improvement alternatives. The formula assigned a numerical value and a weight factor to the environmental/hydraulic achievements of the various options. Based on this evaluation, a specific environmental rating could be assigned to each option, aiding in the final consideration and selection of the recommended alternative. A channel dam and diversion swale were proposed, with miscellaneous minor improvements within the golf course and park. The proposed improvements achieved the control of storm-flow erosion within the park, while maintaining land use and aesthetics. The consideration of user safety, land use, and park aesthetics resulted in the wholehearted support of park users and other interest groups.

Severe flooding has been experienced for a number of years in the Lower Peak's Branch area because of increasing development within the watershed which extends as far north as Mockingbird Lane. A Lower Peak's Branch report prepared by Halff Associates for the City of Dallas Public Works Department developed seven alternatives for flood control in the area and a desirability rating system to select the best alternative. The alternative selected bythe City of Dallas includes channel improvements, three bridges, and a storm water diversion conduit to relieve flooding in the area. The Peaks Branch channel improvements include 8,000 linear feet of widening and concrete lining of the existing drainage channel. The channel improvements also include the reconstruction of the Lagoon, Spring and Frank Street bridges, and the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge over the old channel. The diversion conduit project includes the design of 8,440 linear feet of reinforced concrete double 12-foot by 12-foot box culvert with pre-cast box and slurry wall construction alternatives. The project requires the removal and replacement of 2,500 linear feet of State Highway 352 (3 lanes), the construction of a 900-foot long shoo-fly on the Southern Pacific Belt Line track, other railroad track replacement and utility relocations. The construction plans for the segment involving State Highway 352 include detour routes and traffic control signage designed to maintain two lanes of traffic open at all times during construction. The approximate cost of this project is $5,000,000 for the channel improvements, and $13,000,000 for the diversion conduit. RECO~RNDATION IMPLEMENTATION COSTS PROJECTED ACTUAL STATUS Channel Improvements $4,709,000 $5,000,000 Designed by Halff; Constructedby City of Dallas Diversion Conduit $13,000,000 $8,000,000 Halff designed diversion conduit and is currently conducting construction management.

Prior to joining Halff Associates, Mr. Westsmith physically modeled the hydraulic behavior of the Winnipeg River using a Froude model. His graduate work included specialized courses in riverine engineering and physical statistical hydrology. His masters research dealt with the hydrologic cycle and with water movement and storage in rural areas. Ms. Sophia Iliadou, Hydraulics, has a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University. Ms. Iliadou's scholastic background includes extensive work in hydraulics and hydrology. Ms. Iliadou's experience with Halff Associates' Water Resources Department includes several hydrology and hydraulic analysis projects for Flood Insurance Studies, Flood Plain Management Studies, and development design for such clients as the Corps of Engineers, City of Dallas, City of Plano, and City of Garland. Specific projects include the following= 1) project engineer for the City of Garland Flood Plain Management study, 2) hydraulic engineer for Southside Flood Plain Designation study, 3) hydrology and hydraulics for Rowlett Creek Flood Insurance Study update, 4) hydraulic engineer for Flick-Reedy flood plain reclamation projects in Chicago, Illinois, and 5) design engineer for proposed North Garland Avenue culvert over Stream 213 in Garland, Texas. Ms. Iliadou has attended hydrologic and hydraulics short courses and has experience with hydrologic and hydraulic models such as NUDALLAS, HEC-1, HEC-2, and TR20. Dr. Albert H. Halff, Ph.D., P.E., Technical Advisor and Watershed Planning, has three decades of engineering design and construction experience, and has served as an expert witness in major flood plain damage and land condemnation cases. Under his supervision, Halff Associates has completed reports and designs for numerous municipal, state, and Federal agencies. He directed the Bachman Branch study following a disastrous 1966 flood. This 1968 report presented alternative flood control strategies while recommending preservation of a scenic flood plain. Public interest in this report led the city to initiate flood plain studies and planning for all Dallas streams. The firm subsequently designed a flood plain delineation model for the city, tested and refined the model, trained city personnel in its use and applied it in routing and planning for flood control for numerous Dallas streams. The firm's Fivemile Creek Plan has promoted revitalization of an entire section of Dallas. The Peaks Branch Plan has been praised for innovations in comparing flood control options, and our method of comparison of alternatives in the report served as the state-of-the-art model for the text, Multiobjective Decision Analysis with Engineering and Business Applications (1982). Dr. Halff's other projects include: 1) design of drainage systems for municipalities and private developers, including a pioneering open system that enhanced the appearance of a major industrial park, 2) design of the first Texas industrial retention basin for flood peak reduction and treatment of storm water, 3) a feasibility report for Town Lake on the Trinity River within the Dallas floodway system, and 4) design of the Trinity Greenbelt Park within the Trinity River floodway. Dr. Halff has authored numerous articles, and has lectured at the Hydrologic Engineering Center in Davis, California. He is active in metroplex community life and has contributed to solutions of our community's problems. He is currently the past president of the Dallas Chapter of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers and the 1986 recipient of the national Samuel Arnold Greeley Environmental Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers. Mr. David Morqan, Environmental Scientist and Planner, Vice President of HalffAssociates, provides the environmental planning and assessment for Halff Associates' projects. He oversees the environmental planning of many construction projects by carefully evaluating factors such as erosion, surface and groundwater quality, air quality, noise levels, energy production and consumption, land use trends, historic and archaeological sites, and plant and animal communities including threatened or endangered species. Mr. Morgan performed an eutrophication assessment for the proposed Millican Lake on the Navasota River for the Corps of Engineers. He has also assisted in the collection and analysis of water quality data for the City of Dallas's proposed Town Lake. Mr. Morgan has completed numerous environmental impact assessments related to flood plain management, some of which are; Beals Creek for the U. S. Corps of Engineers, Cedar Creek and Tributaries, Prairie Creek and Elam Creek, Five Mile Creek and Tributaries for the City of Dallas, as well as the Irving Flood Control District Reclamation Project for the Irving Flood Control District No. 3. The work for these projects entailed: (a) field collection and classification of flora and fauna, (b) water quality evaluation, (c) open space inventory and planning, (d) land use master planning, (e) evaluation of flood control alternatives, and (f) recommendation of flood plain management plan. Mr. Morgan recently received the 1986 Samuel Arnold Greeley Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers, for his part in the disposal of five-million gallons of oil sludge for Trammell Crow Company in Dallas, Texas. He assisted in the environmental planning and assessment of the final alignment of an 84-inch water transmission line through the White Rock Creek flood plain and fourteen public parks and inventoried and assessed over 3000 significant trees. The water line was designed around significant stands of trees rather than destroying them. Mr. Morgan recently completed a Greenbelt/Linear Park Study for the City of Allen, Texas, which included an environmental inventory, flood-plain management and recreational plan for the major tributaries within the City. Mr. Morgan provides input and assistance on many of the firm's projects to insure compliance with local, state and Federal regulations. His environmental expertise insures a carefully-planned project which is compatible with the environment. Mr. F.M. Carroll, ASLA, Landscape Architect, has over twelve years of diverse experience encompassing development management, project management, landscape design, planning, construction and profit center development. Mr. Carroll's expertise includes client/consultant/contractor/public entity coordination, design, planning, budget development and forecasting, proposal preparation and implementation. Since joining Halff Associates, Mr. Carroll has provided planning and design services on projects that include: (1) site placement and layout of Dallas/Fort Worth's Superconducting Super Collider proposal to the State of Texas; (2) development of environmental and corridor treatment concepts for the State Highway 114 North Beltway "Justification Study"; (3) design aid and construction inspection of a three-mile (200 ac.) buffer which develops a continuous wet land and nature habitat, while surrounding Dallas' Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant; (4) land and thoroughfare planning for an 1800-acre industrial airport park in north Fort Worth, and (5) land planning thoroughfare layout, and land parcelization studies for 2,400 acres adjoining the new North Beltway in north Fort Worth. Prior to joining Halff Associates, Mr. Carroll was Director of Development Management and San Antonio Office Manager for PeckhamInc. Land Planners/Landscape Architects. His projects have included: (1) design of signage, medians, and screening for Interchange Park, a 70-acre office park; (2) design of entries, medians, a recreational lake, greenways, signage, and a new state highway for Westlakes, a 1000-acre mixed-use development; (3) Encino Park, an 1800-acre mixed-use development; (4) design of overall landscape planning, medians, and first phase landscaping for the University of Dallas; and (5) design of greenway and floodway enhancement, thoroughfare enhancement and private business landscaping for Mercantile Center, a 1600-acre business and industrial park. Mr. Carroll was the senior landscape architect for the Fort Worth Stockyards Economic Redevelopment Program, responsible for developing an economic and physical strategy plan for redevelopment of Fort Worth's Historic Stockyards District. This project included master planning, and design of pedestrian and floodway enhancement and design of infrastructure improvement, including utilities, sewer, storm sewer, and roads, for historic brick street reconstruction.
