HEARING:
SUBJECT: 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

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.
MIWBE 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.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
