DATE: Tuesday,May 2,2017 REFERENCE NO.: **C-28213
LOG NAME: 60VCWRF GRIT REMOVAL PROCESS-ENG DESIGN
SUBJECT:
Authorize Engineering Agreement with CDM Smith,Inc.,in the Amount of
$1,570,965.00 for the Process Evaluation and Engineering Design for the
Grit Removal Facility for the Influent Flows at the Village Creek Water
Reclamation Facility,Provide for Additional Project Costs for a Total of
$1,870,965.00 and Adopt Resolution Expressing Official Intent to Reimburse
Expenditures with Proceeds of Future Debt and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
(COUNCIL DISTRICT 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution expressing official intent to reimburse
expenditures with proceeds of future debt for entire Grit Removal Facility
Project;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated
receipts and appropriations in the Water/Sewer DPN Fund in the amount of
$1,870,965.00 from available funds; and
3. Authorize the execution of an Engineering Agreement with CDM Smith,
Inc.,in the amount of$1,570,965.00 for process evaluation and engineering
design of Grit Removal Process at the Village Creek Water Reclamation
Facility.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth owns and operates the Village Creek Water
Reclamation Facility(VCWRF),a 166 million gallons per day(MGD)plant,
comprised of primary, secondary and tertiary treatment,chlorine
disinfection and de-chlorination.The two-hour peak flow is rated at 369
MGD. The VCWRF produces anaerobically digested biosolids,which is further
processed at the Biosolids Dewatering and Processing Facility,located two
miles north of VCWRF.
CDM Smith,Inc.,has been selected as the consulting firm for the Grit
removal process at the VCWRF. This will include the preliminary evaluation
and detailed design contract documents of additional/improvement
infrastructure needed for the grit removal of the influent flow. The scope
for the preliminary evaluation includes the following: total plant influent
flow management and hydraulics for new Grit Removal Facility; existing Bar
Screen Building No. 3 (BS3)and screening improvements for south flow; and
grit removal system for total plant flow. The detailed design is for a
grit removal facility,which includes evaluation of Grit Removal technology
options from both economic and noneconomic perspectives,determination of
optimum configuration within the plant site,developing an engineering
plan, followed by detailed design plans and specifications for bidding.
CDM Smith,Inc.,is proposing to perform the necessary work as needed for
the Grit Removal Process evaluation and design improvements for a fee not
to exceed$1,570,965.00.
In addition to the contract amount, $250,000.00 is required for contingency
allowance and$50,000.00 is required for project management and associated
Water Department staff time.
Engineering Service is anticipated to commence in May 2017,with a contract
time of 18 months,it is estimated to be complete by December 2018. The
construction is anticipated to start in April 2019,with an estimated
construction time of 24 months. The total estimated amount for the Grit
Removal Facility project is around$19,000,000.00.
This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue
for the Water and Sewer Fund.Available cash within the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority
authorized under the Direct Purchase Note Program will be used to provide
interim financing for this project until debt is issued. To the extent
resources other than the Water and Sewer portfolio are used to provide
interim financing,the Water and Sewer Fund will be charged interest that
is equivalent to the overall rate of return being earned by the City
portfolio(currently approximately one-percent annually). Should the City'
s portfolio not support the liquidity needed to provide an interim
short-term financing source,another funding source will be required,which
could mean issuance of securities under the Direct Purchase Note Program or
earlier issuance of Water and Sewer revenue bonds than is currently
planned. Once debt associated with this project is sold,bond proceeds will
be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio
in accordance with the attached Reimbursement Resolution.
The City Council adopted the Water Department's Fiscal Year 2017-2021
Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan on January 24,2017,Mayor and Council
Communication(M&C G-18927). The City Council adopted plan includes this
specific project,with funding identified through the DPN program to be
reimbursed with future revenue bonds.In accordance with the provisions of
the Financial Management Policy Statements,Staff anticipates presenting
revenue-supported debt issuances to the City Council for consideration
within the next three years.This debt must be issued within approximately
three years to provide reimbursement for these expenses.If that does not
occur,the costs will no longer be reimbursable by issuing tax-exempt debt
and the funding source will have to be made whole through other budgetary
methods.Adoption of this resolution does not obligate the City to sell
bonds,but preserves the ability to reimburse the City from tax-exempt bond
proceeds.
MIWBE OFFICE -CDM Smith,Inc., is in compliance with the City's BDE
Ordinance by committing to an 18 percent SBE participation. The City's SBE
goal on this project is 11 percent.
J
This project serves the entire City and is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5,
Mapsco 90J, 90Q and 90S.
