CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 49049 with CDM
Smith, Inc., in the Amount of$885,755.00 for the Process Evaluation and Engineering
Design of the Grit Removal Process for the Influent Flows at the Village Creek Water
Reclamation Facility and Provide for Additional Project Costs for a Revised Contract
Amount in the amount of$1,035,755.00, 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 the Grit Removal Facility Project;
2. Adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations
in the Water and Sewer Commercial Paper Fund in the amount of $1,035,755.00 and reduce
unallocated funds by the same amount; and
3. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 49049 with CDM
Smith, Inc., in the amount of $885,755.00 for the process evaluation and engineering design
of Grit Removal Facility for the Influent Flows at the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility
(CPN 100075).
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 2-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 main plant.
On May 2, 2017, (M&C C-28213)the City Council authorized an engineering agreement with CDM
Smith, Inc., (CSC No. 49049)to evaluate and design the grit removal process at the VCWRF.As part
of this contract, a hydraulic evaluation was performed to determine the optimum wastewater flow
conveyance configuration for the overall plant (west and south) inflows. Based on this evaluation, the
recommendation is to construct a low head lift station and force main to direct the Village Creek Basin
(south)flow to the existing headworks and screening facility, where it will be combined and
consolidated with the West Fork Basin (west) flow, upstream of the proposed grit removal facility.
This Amendment No. 1 includes the additional scope and fee to complete the detailed design,
including plans and specifications, for this new South Influent Lift Station and associated force
main. CDM Smith, Inc., is proposing to perform the necessary design engineering work for the

VCWRF South Influent Lift Station for a fee not to exceed $885,755.00.
In addition to the contract amount, $150,000.00 is required for project management and associated
Water Department staff time.
These additional Engineering Services are anticipated to commence in November 2018, with a
contract time of 12 months, it is estimated to be complete by December 2019. The construction of this
South Influent Lift Station is anticipated to start in April 2020, with an estimated construction time of
18 months. The total amount for the Grit Removal Facility project is anticipated to be $30M.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department's annual operating budget when
completed.
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 Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP)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 CP 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 2018-2022 Five-Year Capital
Improvement Plan on September 26, 2017. This City Council adopted plan includes this specific
project, with funding identified through the CP 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.
M/WBE OFFICE - CDM Smith, Inc., is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to
an additional 12 percent SBE participation on this Amendment No. 1.
This project serves the entire City and is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
