RECOMMENDATION:

of Future Debt for the Westside V Part 2, 16/24 -inch Water Main Project;
2. Adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the

Growth within west Fort Worth and its Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) requires the installation of pump

This Mayor and Council Communication provides for the construction of a 16/24 -inch water transmission
main to connect the pump station to a proposed elevated storage tank for improved levels of service.
Construction of the project was advertised for bid on November 15, 2018 and November 22, 2018 in the

In addition to the contract cost, $307,278.00 is required for Project Management, inspection and material
testing and $148,610.00 is provided for project contingency.
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 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 not obligate the City to sell
bonds, but preserves the ability to reimburse the City from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
Construction is anticipated to commence in March, 2019 and be completed by March, 2020. This project
will have no impact on the Water Department's Operating Budget when complete.
M/WBE OFFICE: Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC, is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by
committing to seven percent MBE participation on this project. The City's MBE goal on this project is five
percent.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 and the City's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction.
