City of Fort Worth, Texas I'Major and Council Communication DATE REFERENCE NUMBER LOG NAME PAGE 9/25/01 1 **C-1 8751 1 60TRA I Of I SUBJECT INTERILOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY FOR WASTEWATER PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION TO THE TRA CENTRAL PLANT RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Trinity River Authority (TRA) to provide wastewater pipeline transportation utilizing existing pipelines. DISCUSSION: On April 24, 2001 (M&C C-18571) the City Council approved an Engineering Agreement with Transystems Corporation to design a parallel pipeline to provide additional capacity for the existing Village Creek collector. Until this pipeline is constructed, the City desires an interim method to assist with the diversion of a portion of the excess wastewater flows from the Village Creek collector to the TRA. This proposed diversion will be necessary during wet weather operations. An interim agreement has been developed between the City and the TRA to include transportation charges for this diversion in the TRA billing to the City for treatment and transportation costs associated with the TRA central system under an existing contract. This agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed 5 years, at which time the City plans to have constructed relief facilities and will no longer be diverting flow from the Village Creek basin to the TRA central plant. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
