DATE: Tuesday, March 7, 2017 REFERENCE NO.: **C-28142
LOG NAME: 60CITYWIDE WW COLLECTION FLOW METER PROJ
SUBJECT:
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of$115,000.00 for the Citywide Wastewater Collection
System Flow Metering Project (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated
receipts and appropriations in the Water Capital Fund in the amount of$115,000.00 from available funds
for the Citywide Wastewater Collection System Temporary Flow Metering Project (City Project No.
100854).
DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth wastewater collection system includes 3,220 miles of pipelines ranging from eight-inch
diameter to 96-inch diameter. In order to monitor wastewater flows within the wastewater collection
system, the Water Department recommends purchasing and installing portable flow metering devices.
These meters will have remote monitoring capability, which will allow Staff to collect data that can be
utilized to direct maintenance activities, plan and schedule capital improvements, and calibrate our
hydraulic model.
RJN Group, Inc., will be responsible for the site assessments and manhole inspections of the initial
metering locations, make recommendations on whether cleaning or preventive maintenance needs to
occur prior to meter installation, develop a report documenting the various meters and metering
technologies available and their recommended use, assist with the development of a technical
specification that will be used to procure meters and meter installation, and inspect and certify the meter
installations by the vendor.
The overall project budget, which includes the purchase and installation of the temporary meters, is
estimated at $1,000,000.00 and is anticipated to be completed in late summer 2017. This project will
impact the Water Department operating budget due to the on-going maintenance and calibration
requirements of the installed meters. These costs will be incorporated into future Water Department
operating budgets.
The project is citywide and affects ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
