the new WRMC Cattle Barn No. One and Poultry Barn Renovation. Once presented and accepted by
staff, the contract will be amended to incorporate the GMP.. The overall project costs are expected to be
as described in table below:

PROJECT TOTAL $16,1100,000.00
A separate Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will be routed to seek approval of the design
professional services agreement. A Pre-Construction Services agreement with Sedalco Inc- was
administratively executed for$10.00. M&C G-19020, June 6, 2017, authorized the issuance of Tax-
Exempt Special Tax Revenue Bonds, with $15,600,000.00 allocated to this project. When renovating an
older facility, it is normal to encounter unforeseen conditions despite due diligence in the design
process. Projects of this type are typically awarded with a ten percent contingency, but the available
funding only allows a two percent contingency. To provide additional contingency that is projected to be
needed, Southwest Exhibition and Livestock Show has committed to provide up to $500,000.00 in
additional contingency funding during construction if necessary. The Project Budget of$16,100,000.00
above reflects this commitment. Additional funds may still be required if additional unforeseen conditions
are encountered.
M/WBE OFFICE– Sedalco Inc., is in compliance with the City's BIDE Ordinance by committing to 20
percent MBE participation on this CMAR project, The City's MBE goal on this CMAR project is 20 percent.

3. BUSINESS DIVERSITY ENTERPRISE(BDE)ORDINANCE PROVISION
A. The City of Fort Worth implemented the Business Diversity Enterprise Ordinance to reflect the
City s availability and disparity study findings. All proposers shall note that it is the policy of the
City to ensure the full and equitable participation of Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) in the
procurement of goods and services. If the total dollar value of the contract is greater than
$50,000,then an MBE subcontracting goal may be applicable.
There is no MBE diverse goal for Pre-Construction Phase Services on this solicitation.
The MBE diverse goal is 20%for Construction Phase Services(subcontractors, suppliers,etc.)
B. If the Proposer self-performs Construction Phase Services as the general contractor, the MBE
goal must be met. No exceptions.
C. Proposers must obtain MBE listings from the City of Fort Worth's M/WBE Office at (817) 212-
2674 or email mwbeoffice(a)fortworthtexas.Qov. This will ensure that CMAR firms are
acknowledging MBEs (which include DBE firms that are minority owned, controlled and daily
managed) currently certified by the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency(NCTRCA)
or other certifying agencies that the City may deem appropriate and accepted by the City of Fort
Worth at the time proposals/bids are submitted, in order for the participation to be counted
towards the established diverse goals. The firms must be located in the City's six (6) county
geographic marketplace that includes the counties of: Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Parker
and Wise.
D. At the time the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is due and submitted to the City, it shall be
accompanied by the MBE Utilization Plan to address the diverse MBE goals for use when
proposals/bids are sought from trade contractors or subcontractors for performance of all major
elements of the Work. At a minimum,the Pian must provide:
■ the company name, address, point of contact, email address, office and fax telephone
numbers of the MBE subcontractors and suppliers;
• a detailed description of the work to be performed by each MBE;
• the tier level, i.e., 13t, 2nd, 31d, etc. (if other than 1st tier, the plan must clearly identify the
firm name and tier from whom the MBE firm will be receiving payment);
■ the sub-contract value or percentage of the GMP construction cost for each phase of
work identified for each MBE participant;
■ state the MBE percentage level of commitment achieved;
■ the timing of the major elements of the work including approximate advertising dates and
�. ■ provide the same identification information for all non-MBE participants
The Plan must also include an element detailing how the Proposer will communicate with, and
report Plan compliance to, the Citys Project Manager and the City's MWBE Office during the
Project including providing to the MWBE Office Letter(s) of intent, purchase orders and or
executed sub-contract agreements after award by the CMAR and prior to the issuance of the
notice to proceed of each relevant phase of the Work.
E. MBE firms must be certified at the time each of the Work's major elements are bid or proposals
submitted, in order for the participation to be counted towards the established goal.
.. F. If a Proposer is certified as a DBE, MBE, SBE or WBE firm,the City's Ordinance does not allow a
Proposer to count itself or its subsidiary-owned companies towards the established goals; the
goals represent subcontracting opportunities.
G. The participation commitment of the MBE Construction Phase Services will be part of the
final weighted selection criteria.

geographic marketplace that have been accepted by the City. The City's geographic marketplace includes the counties of:Tarrant,

Contractor.
