The fee also includes a Watershed Drainage Study, Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) registration, and various reimbursable expenses. A complete cost and task breakdown is included in the attached contract proposal from DSS (Exhibit A).
Financial Impact:
The project is included in the Parks System Capital Improvement Program Fund with funding provided by the Keller Development Corporation fund.
