EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT This Agreement shall become effective upon the signature of the Parties. U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD BY GORDON M. WELLS Colonel, Corps of Engineers District Engineer Fort Worth District BY J. KEVIN WARD Executive Administrator Texas Water Development Board DATE: DATE: City of Paris, Texas BY: City Manager City of Paris DATE: EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK 1. INTRODUCTION The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) shall perform, or cause to have performed, a hydrographic survey of Lake Crook, Texas. The purpose of this survey is to collect hydrographic data when the reservoir is at or above the normal/conservation pool elevation, and convert this information into area-elevation-volume table. 2. LOCATION OF SURVEY Lake Crook is located in Lamar County in east Texas. The dam and lake are on Pine Creek approximately two miles north of the City of Paris, Texas. The facility provides water supply for Paris, Texas. Water-rights owner and operator of Lake Crook is the City of Paris, Texas. The lake has a surface area of 1,226 acres. 3. SURVEY PLAN, SPECIFICATION, AND ANALYSES Surface acreages will be based on Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles, if available. Positioning on the lake surfaces will be establis ed utilizing Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) wit an estimated resolution of three meters or better. Survey dat will be collected from survey lines spaced at approximately 500 ~ et. These lines will be followed to the extent possible as permitted b obstructions. Positioning and sounding data will be colle d and stored electronically at the rate of one measurement every second, or an average spacing of twenty (20) feet. The model of the ake bottoms will be mathematically interpolated between colleqted points by accepted engineering practices, and will be mathematicjal estimates of the actual bottoms. . Analyses of the survey data will include the following deliv rabies: (1) elevation-area-volume tables, acceptable to the Texas Na ural Resource Conservation Commission (formerly the Texas ater Commission), of the reservoirs with definition of 0.1 feet; ( ) bottom contour maps with definition of 5 feet; and (3) a shaded rei, ef plot of the lake bottom. Area-elevation-capacity tables estimated to 0.01 feet will be provided upon written request. A copy of the report text and area-elevation-capacity tables will be provided for review and comment. Any legitimate questions regarding accuracy should be addressed in writing within thirty days, and will be addressed in the report. Four copies of the reports will be provided to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District (the District), along with the digital data. Additional copies of the reports will be provided at the cost of $35.00 per copy. The report provided in conjunction with the survey will not address sediment location and thickness, unless negotiated as an additional charge. All data from the survey will be stored for future reference. 4. SURVEY SCHEDULE The field survey is expected to be completed in one to two working days after commencement. The first day will be spent meeting lake staff, visually surveying the lake conditions, and finding and checking the condition of boat ramps. The survey will begin after the completion of these activities. Pool elevation, weather, and condition of equipment are some of the possible factors that could affect the actual time of performing the survey. The TWDB will contact the District Project Manager the week prior to the survey to confirm the proposed date. Confirmation by the District Project Manager will signify approval that the survey be conducted at the current lake elevation. If any delays are anticipated, the survey will be rescheduled as soon as possible. The new date will be determined with the approval of the District Project Manager. 5. ON-SITE STORAGE An enclosed, secure structure with minimum dimensions of 10 feet by 30 feet, shall be provided by the City for storage of the survey vessel. The enclosed, secured structure will need a vertical clearance of sufficient height to allow storage of the survey vessel on it's trailer, or approximately 12 feet. TWDB personnel will coordinate with the City or designated representative staff for hours of accessibility to this structure. 6. COST ESTIMATE a. Survey Cost. Lake Crook has a surface area of 1,226 acres. The cost of the survey and report are proposed as lump sum fees in accordance with the recorded surface areas and the standard rate schedule set forth in Table 1. A contingency fee will be charged in the following circumstances: Presence of a significant number of obstructions to navigation will be the basis for assessment of contingency fees to recover engine and boat damages. A fee of $500.00 will be charged for lakes between 100 and 500 surface acres of submerged trees or stumps, a fee of $1000.00 will be charged for lakes with between 501 and 1,000 surface acres of submerged trees and stumps. A fee of $1,500.00 will be charged for lakes between 1,001 and 1,500 surface acres of submerged trees or stumps, a fee of $2,000.00 will be charged for lakes with between 1,501 and 2000 surface acres of submerged trees and stumps. Whether a fee will be charged and how much of a fee will be determined by the field crew during the performance of the survey. The field crew will notify the APPLICANT when conditions merit charging the cumulative damages fee due to conditions of the lake before continuing with the survey in the problem area. The APPLICANT can visit the site with the crew to experience the reasons for the additional charge unless the APPLICANT agrees to the prospect of a charge incurring before the survey begins. (No navigational hazard contingency fees will be charged for the hydrographic survey of Lake Crook). With no contingency fees, the total survey shall not exceed $14,500. b. Hvdroaraohic Survev Cost Comoutation. The Texas Water Development Board computes Hydrographic Survey costs utilizing the following formula: 2 Rate = 0.0000014 X (Area) + 1.15 X (Area) + $13,000 = $14,412 (Area is the surface area of the lake at the time of the survey, in acres and Rate is the proposed cost of the survey). Lake Crook has a surface area of 1,226 acres at elevation 476 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. The estimated survey cost is therefore $14.500.00 (rounded up to the next $100.00). The cost of the survey and report are proposed as lump sum fees in accordance with the recorded surface areas and the standard rate schedule and represents the typical charges for a "standardized" underwater bathymetric survey for a given size lake and associated reporting of the findings. This standard charge schedule assumes: a surface acreage of the lake at normal pool elevation; an underwater bathymetric survey only; a 500- foot average width between the surveying transects; acceptable weather conditions; no significant surface or sub-surface obstructions to navigation; no unusual owner-induced delays once the field mobilization and survey effort has been initiated; a coordination meeting with the owner; and a standard survey report consisting of a description of the lake and previously-known physical and storage conditions, description of the hydrographic survey methodology, narrative and tabular descriptions of the newly surveyed physical parameters of the lake bathymetry and storage capacity, representative cross-sections of the lake survey, a two-dimensional contour map and shaded relief plot of the lake bathymetry, and associated digital files of the survey results, if requested. c. Cost Summary 1. Survey (1,226 surface-acres) 2. Contingencies: add'l work requested by Sponsor navigational hazards $14,500.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 3. TOTAL $14,500.00. 7. SUMMARY Based on the above cost schedules, and assuming the maximum lake surface area at the time of the survey is 1,226 acres, the maximum total cost of this survey would be $14,500.00. The final cost analysis and cost-sharing adjustments will be conducted at the conclusion of the survey.

WELLS Colonel, Corps of District Engineer Fort Worth District Date: Date: 3 APPENDIX A SCOPE OF WORK 1. INTRODUCTION The Corps of Engineers (COE) proposes to perform, or cause to have performed, a hydrographic survey on Lake Crook. The purpose of this survey is to collect hydrographic data when the reservoir is at or above the normal/conservation pool elevation, and convert this information into an area-elevation-capacity table. All maps generated from this survey are related to this purpose, and the COE makes no representation and assumes no liability if this information is used for any other purposes, such as boating maps. In an effort to keep costs to a minimum, basic needs were identified and are presented in the Specifications section below. The rate schedule was generated from these basic needs. Should the Sponsor require analysis beyond that identified in the basic contract, that information can be provided at an additional cost as identified in Section 6 - Cost Estimate. 2. LOCATION OF SURVEY Lake Crook is located in Lamar County in east Texas. The dam and lake are on Pine Creek approximately two miles north of the city of Paris, Texas. The facility provides water supply for Paris, Texas. Water-rights owner and operator of Lake Crook is the city of Paris, Texas. The lake has a surface area of 1,226 acres. 3. SURVEY PLAN, SPECIFICATIONS, AND ANALYSES Surface acreage will be based on USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle or 1- meter resolution digital ortho quarter quad (DOQQ) developed for the Texas GIS Planning Council, if available. Positioning on the lake surface will be established utilizing Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) with an estimated resolution of three meters or better. Survey data will be collected from survey lines spaced at approximately 500 feet. These lines will be followed to the extent possible as permitted by obstructions. Positioning and sounding data will be collected and stored electronically at the rate of one measurement every second, or 5 ,- an average spacing of twenty (20) feet. The model of the lake bottom will be mathematically interpolated between collected points by accepted engineering practices, and will be a mathematical estimate of the actual bottom. Analyses of the survey data will include an area-elevation- capacity table, acceptable to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (formerly the Texas Water Commission), of the reservoir with definition of 0.1 feet, a bottom contour map with definition of 5 feet, and a shaded relief plot of the lake bottom. An area-elevation-capacity table estimated to 0.01 feet will be provided upon written request. A copy of the report text and area-elevation-capacity table will be provided for review and comment. Any legitimate questions regarding accuracy should be addressed in writing within thirty days, and will be addressed in the report. Two copies of the report will be provided to the Sponsor along with the digital data, if desired. The report provided in conjunction with the survey will not address sediment location and thickness, unless negotiated as an additional charge. All data from the survey will be stored for future reference. 4. SURVEY SCHEDULE The field survey is expected to be completed in one to two working days after commencement, dependent on the size of the lake at the time of the survey. The first day will be spent meeting lake staff, visually surveying the lake conditions, and finding and checking the condition of boat ramps. The survey will begin after the completion of these activities. Pool elevation, weather, and condition of equipment are some of the possible factors that could affect the actual time of performing the survey. The COE, or its subcontractor's representative, will contact the designated party, as shown in the attached contract, the week prior to the survey to confirm the proposed dates. Confirmation by the owner's representative will signify the owner's approval that the survey be conducted at the current lake elevation. If any delays are anticipated, the survey will be rescheduled as soon as possible. The new dates will be determined with the approval of the Sponsor. 5. ON-SITE STORAGE The Sponsor shall provide a secure locked enclosure with minimum dimensions of 10 feet by 30 feet, for storage of the survey 6 vessel. The enclosed, secured structure will need a vertical clearance of sufficient height to allow storage of the survey vessel on its trailer, or approximately 12 feet. COE, or subcontractor, personnel traveling in marked Federal and/or State vehicles should have unlimited access to the area during the performance of the field survey. If the site is not suitable to the survey crew upon arrival, applicant will assist the COE, or subcontractor, staff in locating a suitable location or locations and provide for visual supervision of the equipment if such sites are not secure. Due to the cost of the equipment, the definition of secure will be up to the survey crew chief. COE, or subcontractor, staff will discuss suitable locations with the contact person before the scheduled survey date. The Sponsor may also be asked to assist in locating monuments with known coordinates, and obtaining permission from the property owner to enter the property for the purposes of this survey. The Sponsor will be provided with monument location and description. 6. COST ESTIMATE a. Survey Cost. The cost for the survey and report is proposed as a lump sum fee in accordance with the recorded surface area and the standard rate schedule set forth in Table 1. A contingency fee will be charged in the following circumstances: Presence of a significant number of obstructions to navigation will be the basis for assessment of contingency fees to recover engine and boat damages. A fee of $500.00 will be charged for lakes with between 250 and 500 surface acres of submerged trees or stumps, a fee of $1,000.00 will be charged for lakes with between 500 and 2,000 surface acres of submerged trees and stumps, and a fee of $2,000.00 will be charged for areas of submerged trees and stumps above 2,000 surface acres. Whether a fee will be charged and how much of a fee will be determined by the field crew during the performance of the survey. The field crew will notify the Sponsor when conditions merit charging the cumulative damage fees due to conditions of the lake before continuing with the survey in the problem area. The Sponsor can visit the site with the crew to experience the reasons for the additional charge unless the Sponsor agrees to the prospect of a charge incurring before the survey begins. A contingency fee of $2000.00 for any additional work requested by the Sponsor has also been budgeted. (No navigational hazard contingency fees will be charged for the hydrographic survey of Lake Crook) . 7 ~ The COE will provide two copies of the report. The Sponsor will be charged $35.00 per report for additional copies. A charge of $2,000 will be added to the total survey cost for contracting and administrative services. b. Hydroqraphic Survey Cost Computation. The Texas Water Development Board computes Hydrographic Survey costs utilizing the following formula: 2 Rate = 0.0000014 X (Area) + 1.15 X (Area) + $13,000 = = $14,412 (Area is the surface area of the lake at the time of the survey, in acres and Rate is the proposed cost of the survey). Lake Crook has a surface area of 1,226 acres at elevation 476 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. The estimated survey cost is therefore $14,500.00 (rounded up to the next $100.00). The cost of the survey and report are proposed as lump sum fees in accordance with the recorded surface areas and the standard rate schedule and represents the typical charges for a "standardized" underwater bathymetric survey for a given size lake and associated reporting of the findings. This standard charge schedule assumes: a surface acreage of the lake at normal pool elevation; an underwater bathymetric survey only; a 500-foot average width between the surveying transects; acceptable weather conditions; no significant surface or sub-surface obstructions to navigation; no unusual owner-induced delays once the field mobilization and survey effort has been initiated; a 8 ---- " . coordination meeting with the owner; and a standard survey report consisting of a description of the lake and previously- known physical and storage conditions, description of the hydrographic survey methodology, narrative and tabular descriptions of the newly surveyed physical parameters of the lake bathymetry and storage capacity, representative cross- sections of the lake survey, a two-dimensional contour map and shaded relief plot of the lake bathymetry, and associated digital files of the survey results, if requested. c. Cost Summary 1. Survey (1,226 surface-acres) 2. Administration 3. Contingencies: add'l work requested by Sponsor navigational hazards 4. TOTAL $14,500.00 $ 2,000.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $16,500.00. 7. SUMMARY Based on the above cost schedules, and assuming the maximum lake surface area at the time of the survey is 1,226 acres, the maximum total cost of this survey would be $16,500.00. The final cost analysis and cost-sharing adjustments will be conducted at the conclusion of the survey.
