Schultz dba Circle C Construction Company AMOUNT TIME OF COMPETION _J $3,420,821.00 365 Calendar Days Logname: 60CROWLEYSSP3-CIRCLEC Page I of 3 Mountain Cascade Holding Company, Inc. 1$3,661,090.00 S. J. Louis Construction of Texas, Ltd. 3,706,569.00 Jackson Construction, Ltd [$3,847,100.00 In addition to the contract cost, $251,641.00 is required for project management, inspection and material testing and $102,625.00 is provided for project contingency. In accordance with the terms of the amendment of the Agreement between the Cities of Crowley and Fort Worth, Crowley will reimburse Fort Worth for its share of the total project cost upon completion of the entire project. This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water and Sewer Fund. Available ash 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 Statement, 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 budgetary methods. Adoption of this resolution does riot obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability to reimburse the City from tax-exempt bond proceeds. Construction for Part 3, is anticipated to commence in February, 2019 and be completed by February, 2020. This project is part of the Water Department's Sanitary Sewer Overflow Initiative Program. This project will have no impact on the Water Department's Operating Budget when complete. M/WBE Office — William J.
