2 AGREEMENT FOR EMERGENCY REPAIR SERVICES
3
4 THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between The City of Font Worth, a Texas home rule municipality acting by
5 and through its duly authorized City Manager, ("City"), and Jackson Construction, Ltd., a corporation
6 authorized to do business in Texas, acting by and through its duly authorized representative ("Contractor"). City
7 and Contractor,in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth,agree as follows:
8 Article 1.WORK
9 Contractor shall conduct emergency pavement repairs at various locations identified by the Water Department
10 subsequent to emergency water main repairs.
11 Article 2.PROJECT
12 On February 14, 2021, a deep freeze began to overspread the state of Texas bringing with it several days of sub-
13 freezing temperatures along with intermittent snow, sleet, freezing rain and ice. Complicating the freezing
14 weather,the electricity grid was strained by demand and power loss was experienced at some water treatment and
15 distribution facilities. The extended cold has lowered the water temperature generally to near 40 degrees
16 Fahrenheit which is problematic when pushed through the cast iron portions of the city's water supply system.
17 Water Field Operations and on-call emergency contractors have been responding to multiple breaks in the water
18 system,but the breaks are now too numerous for these resources to handle.
19 The recommended solution was to engage additional available contractors for emergency water main repairs. Due
20 to the amount of repairs being completed by these additional contractors, there is a need to engage a third paving
21 contractor to augment our on-call paving contractor in order to keep up with pavement repair subsequent to the
22 water main repairs.
23 Article 3.CONTRACT TIME
24 3.1 Time is of the essence.
25 Contractor recognizes that time is of the essence, and the Contractor will be required to remain on the job until
26 pavement repair is complete.The City expects the Contractor to have a sense of urgency to complete the Work in
27 a timely manner.
28 Article 4.CONTRACT PRICE
29 City agrees to pay Contractor for performance of the Work based on Contractor's invoice an amount up to Seven
30 Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars($750 000.00) This figure maladjusted up or down as final invoices are

On February 14,2021,a deep freeze began to overspread the state of Texas bringing with it several days of
sub-freezing temperatures along with intermittent snow, sleet, freezing rain and ice. Complicating the
freezing weather,the electricity grid was strained by demand and power loss was experienced at some water
treatment and distribution facilities.The extended cold has lowered the water temperature generally to near
40 degrees Fahrenheit which is problematic when pushed through the cast iron portions of the city's water
supply system.Water Field Operations and on-call emergency contractors have been responding to multiple
breaks in the water system,but the breaks are now too numerous for these limited resources to handle.
The recommended solution was to engage additional available contractors for emergency water main
repairs. Due to the amount of repairs being completed by these additional contractors, there is a need to
engage a third paving contractor to augment our on-call paving contractor in order to keep up with pavement
repair subsequent to the water main repairs.
This memo is submitted to inform the CMO that, pursuant to the emergency authority found in City Code
Chapter 2,Article I,Section 2-9 of the City's Code of Ordinances and the Mayor's declaration of emergency

health or safety of the municipality's residents and procurements necessary because of unforeseen damage
