A Not to Exceed fee will be negotiated for each Work Assignment consistent with Exhibit B, Fee
Schedule.
The Consultant shall complete all work in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A, General

and Consultant hereby agrees to make no claim for compensation for such work or materials
furnished.

Work Assignments under this Contract may include “Optional Tasks,” which will be explicitly
identified as such in the Work Assignment Detailed Scope of Work. The Consultant must obtain
the Agent’s written authorization prior to initiating any Optional Task.

All work initiated under this Contract must be completed on or before the expiration date of the
Contract, and on or before the expiration date of the subject Work Assignment. The DISTRICT

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK

CONTRACT FCD 2023C017

SCOPE OF WORK

This scope of work (SOW) describes the professional services required to produce the On-
Call Gilbert-Chandler Area Drainage Master Study/Plan Update (Gilbert-Chandler ADMS/P
Update). The study area covers approximately 152 square miles located in the Town of
Gilbert, City of Chandler, City of Mesa, Gila River Indian Community, and unincorporated
Maricopa County areas.

This contract will be an on-call contract. The amount of work requested during the life of
the contract is unknown; the least amount being zero and the maximum amount being
limited to the "Not to Exceed" amount of the contract. The work to be performed in this
contract is intended primarily to be through development and completion of individual
work assignments and specified deliverables. Payments will be made for the actual hours
worked and/or costs incurred, in accordance with Exhibit B, Fee Schedule, as defined in
the particular work assignment.

The Gilbert-Chandler ADMS/P Update will identify and characterize existing drainage,
flooding sources, and flooding hazards within the study area primarily due to land use
changes, previous study age, hydrologic methods, modern mapping technologies, and
population growth within the watershed. This includes two primary project goals:
development of a comprehensive, detailed, multi-frequency FLO-2D model for the study
area, and a flood hazard assessment. Major tasks will include a compilation of the data
collection results with the 2D model output to identify, quantify, and qualitatively describe
significant drainage and flooding issues. Other supporting tasks include data collection,
supplemental field survey (as needed), public outreach, and stakeholder coordination.
Tasks may also include an evaluation of past flood mitigation alternatives within the study
area and updating of the original Area Drainage Master Plan as necessary, or
recommendation of a revised Area Drainage Master Plan for the area with newly identified
possible alternatives and a conceptual design (15% plan development and associated
cost estimate) of selected alternatives.

The primary use of this contract will be to update the 1992-93 Gilbert-Chandler ADMS and
the 1999-2000 Higley ADMP. Specific work tasks may include, but are not limited to, one
or more of the following categories:

Scope of Work - Exhibit A

K. Other supporting tasks (as needed) based on approval by DISTRICT staff, which
may include post design services for a selected study alternative that proceeds to
construction.

The study area is approximately 152 square miles in southeastern Maricopa County. The
study area contains parts of the Town of Gilbert, City of Chandler, City of Mesa, Gila River
Indian Community, and unincorporated Maricopa County areas. The study area is
generally bounded by the US-60 freeway to the north, East Maricopa Floodway to the east,
Hunt Highway to the south, and Loop 101 and I-10 freeways to the west.

The study area is relatively flat, with the slope generally from east to west then southwest
toward the Gila Drain. Historically the area belongs to the lower Queen Creek watershed,
however, it has been cut off by the construction of the East Maricopa Floodway. The area
has been heavily urbanized since the completion of the previous study in 1993 (over 90%
urban). Common means of stormwater control have utilized local retention facilities
paired, when possible, with outlet drains; which includes, but is not limited to, control
structures such as the East Maricopa Floodway and Loop 202 and Price Road drainage
improvements. Negotiations with the Gila River Indian Community previously took place
to consider opportunities for the establishment of a regional gravity outfall for east valley
stormwaters to the Gila River.
