PW Northside Drive HROM City Project No. 106170

The City of Fort Worth is undertaking a storm drain improvement project along Northside Drive between Cold Springs Road and Mercado Drive in Tarrant County, Texas, to address severe erosion issues caused by a deteriorating 24-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) outfall that drains into a tributary of the West Fork Trinity River. The project involves replacing the existing 24-inch RCP with a new 48-inch RCP measuring 338 linear feet, installing new 42-inch and 24-inch RCP laterals, and reconstructing the outfall structure with riprap to prevent further upstream erosion. Additional work includes removing and replacing 727 square yards of existing concrete paving with 11-inch thick concrete, removing and replacing a 34-square-yard concrete median, installing two new 20-foot curb inlets and one 5-foot by 5-foot area inlet in place of the existing inlets, placing 58 square yards of medium 12-inch grouted riprap, installing two storm junction boxes, and deploying a precast safety end treatment. The project also requires the removal of 25 trees and the protection of 30 others, along with 1,703 cubic yards of excavation and 340 cubic yards of fill material. All work must comply with the City of Fort Worth Standard Construction Specifications, including divisions covering concrete, electrical, metal structures, and precast units, with specific marking requirements for precast components and pipe to ensure traceability and compliance, including designation codes like "TX" and "SR" and manufacturer stamps.
