SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Contract with the Lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder, Tri-Tech
Construction, Inc., in an Amount Up to $2,000,000.00 for the Miscellaneous Storm Drain Improvements
Contract-2011 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Contract with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder,
Tri-Tech Construction, Inc., in an amount up to $2,000,000.00 for Miscellaneous Storm Drain
Improvements Contract-2011;
2. Authorize the transfer of $1,500,000.00 from the Storm Water Utility Operating Fund to Storm Water
Capital Projects Fund; and
3. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Storm Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $1,500,000.00 from available
funds.
DISCUSSION:
The Storm Water Management program was established to reduce flooding in Fort Worth, preserve
streams, minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water system in a more effective manner to
fully comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. This will be accomplished by infrastructure
reconstruction and system maintenance, master planning, enhanced development review and increased
public education and outreach.
The $1,500,000.00 authorized for transfer, per this M&C will be combined with existing funding to fully
fund the contract plus the funds necessary for right-of-way and easement acquisition, inspection and
survey services.
The work to be performed under this Contract consists of minor extensions, replacements and/or
improvements to existing storm water systems and other pertinent construction required to provide a more
effective drainage system to neighborhoods within the City limits of Fort Worth. There is not apre-defined
single project scope for this Contract, but rather work orders will be issued on the Contract as needs arise.
The price of each work order will be based on the unit prices bid with the cumulative amount of all work
orders issued under this Contract capped at $2,000,000.00. This contracting tool will enhance the City's
responsiveness to minor drainage infrastructure needs that arise periodically by precluding the need to
conduct an independent solicitation and award process for each small project.

Contract would be awarded in an amount up to $2,000,000.00. Final payments will be made based on
actual measured quantities. Funding will be verified individually for each work order prior to its release.
