Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Freese & Nichols, Inc., for a Fee Not to Exceed
$235,973.00 to Update the Water and Wastewater Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan
for the Purpose of Revising the Impact Fees Assessed for Water and Wastewater and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinances (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinances increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Projects Fund (Impact Fees) in the amount of$82,591.00 and in the Sewer Capital Projects
Fund (Impact Fees) in the amount of$82,591.00;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinances increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$35,396.00 and the Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the
amount of$35,396.00 from available funds; and
3. Authorize the execution of an Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., in an amount not to exceed
$235,973.00 to update the Water and Wastewater Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan
for the purpose of revising the impact fees assessed for water and wastewater in accordance with Chapter
395 of the Texas Local Government Code.
DISCUSSION:
Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code provides authorization for local governments to enact
and impose impact fees for capital improvements related to water and wastewater facilities, storm
drainage and flood control facilities and roadway facilities.
Since the early 1990s, the City has assessed water and wastewater Impact Fees pursuant to Chapter 35,
Article III, Division 2 of the City Code. State law and Section 35-70.13(a) of the City Code require that the
City update the Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan at least every five years,
commencing from the date of adoption of such plans and recalculate the impact fees in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the Texas Local Government Code. On September 18, 2012 (M&C G-17680),
the City Council approved Ordinance No. 20406-09-2012, which updated the Water and Wastewater Land
Use Assumptions and the Capital Improvements Plan and revised the impact fees that allow for the
collection of 50 percent of the maximum assessable water and wastewater impact fees per service unit.
To comply with state law, the Water Department and wholesale water and wastewater customer
representatives have undergone an extensive proposal and selection process to select the consultant for
updating Fort Worth's Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Studies. After evaluating qualified consultants,

Water Department Staff and the wholesale customer representatives have recommended Freese and
Nichols, Inc., to conduct the update to the Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan for
Water and Wastewater Impact Fees. In the most recent (2012) Water and Sewer Impact Fee Study, it
was determined that this study is 70 percent eligible for impact fee funding. The remaining 30 percent is
being funded from the Water and Sewer Operating Budget.
In order to determine whether the impact fees for water and wastewater should be amended, Freese and
Nichols, Inc., shall:
• Review current Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fee Schedule and
Ordinances. Additional reports to review include the Water and Wastewater Master Plan, Facilities
Plan and Semi-Annual Impact Fee Reports;
• Update Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan for water and wastewater in
accordance with Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 395;
• Participate with Staff in meetings and with the Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements
Advisory Committee, participate in meetings with the Wholesale Water and Wastewater Advisory
Committees and Sub-Committees and participate in public hearings and City Council meetings
concerning the impact fee studies; and
• Generate an updated report for the Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan for water
and wastewater and make recommendations on the City's Impact Fees.
M/WBE OFFICE: Freese and Nichols, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by
committing to 10 percent M/WBE participation. The City's SBE goal on this project is 10 percent.
This project is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
