Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
contract amendments with the wholesale water customers, a sample of which is
attached, which provides that the Touche Ross rate methodology and wholesale
water rates be implemented in fiscal year 1988, and the 1987 Touche Ross
wholesale water rate study and the computer model be used to project rates for
the five-year period beginning in 1989.
Discussion
Beginning in May, 1987, the Fort Worth Water Department staff and the Wholesale
Water Advisory Committee met to select a rate consulting firm, discuss
potential wholesale water contract revisions, and review the 1987 Touche Ross
Wholesale Water Rate Study. As a result, the Water Department staff proposed,
and the Mayor' s Council approved, a contract amendment which implements the
rate methodology and rates of the 1987 Touche Ross Wholesale Water Rate Study
in fiscal year 1988. In addition, the amendment provides that the Touche Ross
rate study and computer model will be used by Fort Worth in fiscal year 1989 to
project rates to be charged for the five-year period beginning in 1989.
The contract amendment is viewed by the Fort Worth Water Department staff as a
first-step in renegotiating the wholesale water contracts which expire in the
period from 1993 to 2002. It is expected that the amendment would be a
temporary measure prior to revision of the wholesale water contracts in 1988.
Although the amendment is a temporary measure, it benefits the City in two
ways:
1) It immediately requires a rate review in 1989, whereas, the current
contract allows rate adjustments only every five years; and
2) It serves as an inducement to renegotiate the contracts for the long-term.
As of November 4, 1987, nineteen of the twenty-four billed wholesale water
customers have signed the contract amendments. Upon receipt of signed contract
amendments from all wholesale water customers and execution of the amendment by
City Council , the Fort Worth Water Department staff will proceed with contract
negotiations.
