SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Contract in the Amount of $87,130.50 with Pacheco Koch for Expansion of the Oil
and Gas Pipeline Geographic Information System Mapping and Database Project and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinances (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Capital Projects Reserve Fund by $87,130.50 from available funds;
2. Authorize the transfer of $87,130.50 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the General Fund;

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Pacheco Koch in the amount of $87,130.50 for

DISCUSSION:
On February 3, 2009, City Council approved the Gas Drilling Ordinance No. 18449 -02 -2009 which
requires pipeline companies to submit as -built records for pipelines in a format compatible with the City's
Geographic Information System (GIS) system.
On June 9, 2009, (M &C G- 16593) City Council approved acceptance of a Technical Assistance Grant
(TAG) in the amount of $25,000.00 from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration,
Office of Pipeline Safety for the Pipelines and Informed Planning Alliance (PIPA) initiative. The purpose of
the grant was to implement a program in the Geographic Information System (GIS) to comply with the City
Gas Drilling Ordinance which requires documenting the expanding pipeline systems in Fort Worth to
improve available information that may be used for emergency responders, developers and the
community.
In 2010, the City entered into an agreement with Pacheco Koch (City Secretary Contract No. 40222) to
design a GIS layer and accompanying database at a cost of $25,000.00 to meet the requirements of the
TAG. The work by Pacheco Koch provided the initial framework for the collection and storage of as -built
drawings submitted by gas pipeline companies installing natural gas pipelines throughout the City.
Based on the scope of work under the TAG, staff is recommending that Pacheco Koch be engaged to
expand their work enabling the City to track more comprehensive information regarding natural gas

pipelines that impact City properties including parks, airports and maintenance facilities. The contract
includes expansion of the database and GIS layer information and technical support for one -year after
acceptance by the City. With the implementation of this contract, staff anticipates the ability to determine
the footprint of the natural gas pipeline agreements, track revenues and expiration dates for natural gas
pipelines that impact City properties via the database and GIS layer application.
A waiver for the goal was requested by the Planning and Development Department and approved by the
M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods and services is from sources where subcontracting or
supplier opportunities are negligible.
This project will be funded by revenues received from pipeline agreements on City properties and is in
compliance with the Financial Management Policy Statements for gas revenues which allow for
expenditures on technology with a minimum five -year useful life.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current operating
