SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Professional Services Agreements with ADS, LLC in the Amount Up to $356,560.00
and with Hach Company in the Amount Up to $326,000.00 for Citywide Temporary Flow Monitoring for the
Water Department with an Initial Two-Year Term and Three One-Year Renewal Options and Adopt the
Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital
Projects Fund in the amount of$682,560.00 from Available Funds (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$682,560.00 from available funds; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute professional services agreements with ADS, LLC in the amount
of$356,560.00 and with Hach Company in the amount of$326,000.00 for Citywide Temporary Flow
Monitoring for the Citywide Wastewater Collection System Flow Monitoring Project (City Project#100854)
for an initial two-year term and authorize three one-year renewal options.
DISCUSSION:
On April 17, 2018, M&C P-12188 authorized the rejection of all responses received for Request for
Proposals (RFP) 18-0076 due to the notice requirement per Section 252.041 of the Texas Local
Government Code not being met. The project was put out for rebid and on April 19, 2018, two proposals
were received from bidders. A city staff consultant selection committee recommended that both ADS, LLC
and Hach Company be awarded this project. This project consists of the purchase, installation, and
periodic calibration of wastewater flow meters to be installed within the Fort Worth wastewater collection
system pipelines. The flow meters are capable of measuring both wastewater flow and level within
wastewater pipes, communicating this data back to engineering and operations staff. Data will be used to
properly size relief or replacement pipelines, assess and quantify inflow and infiltration into the collection
system that may result in large wet weather peak flows, and provide advance notice of surcharge
conditions within the collection system.
The City of Fort Worth has previously invested in permanent wastewater meter stations that measure
wastewater generated by wholesale customers that discharge into Fort Worth's collection system.
However, Fort Worth has not previously invested in wastewater flow meters within the Fort Worth
wastewater collection system.
This project is also part of the TCEQ Sanitary Sewer Overflow Initiative Program, and has been included
as part of Fort Worth's Corrective Action Plan.

As part of the work, the City will purchase wastewater flow meters from the two vendors, who will be
responsible for installation of the meters within designated pipelines within the wastewater collection
system, and perform routine monitoring and calibration of the meters.
The agreements cover an initial two years, which includes the purchase, installation and calibration of the
meters and metering equipment. These agreements also include up to three one-year options to renew.
The Bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on April 4, 2018, April 11, 2018 and April 18,
2018.
In addition, an administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount
up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been
appropriated.
M/WBE OFFICE -A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because
the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are
negligible.
Upon City Council approval, the Contracts shall begin on execution and end two years from that date.
