Members of the City, Council No. 4619- and Contract No.
City of Fort Worth 5050, Meadowbrook Acres
Sanitary Sewer Approach Main
per Connection Charges
Mrs. McKnight and Gentlemen:
On September 11, 1962, bids received for construction of the Meadow-
brook Acres Sanitation Sewer' Approach Main indicated that the per
connection charge of $34.86 established by Ordinance No. 4619 was too,
low. On September 24, 1962 (M & C W-144), the City Council agreed to
amend Ordinance No. 4619 so as to establish a more equitable per
connection charge based upon actual construction cost. This amendment
was to be executed after the final cost of construction had been
determined.
Final approval of the Meadowbrook Acres Approach Main project was granted
by the City Council on December 3, 1962 (M & C W-164). The per connec-
tion charge based upon the actual construction cost of $15, 129.20 was
computed to be $42.26.
Amendments to Ordinance No. 4619 and Developer Contract No. 5050 have
been prepared to reflect ? change in the per connection .charge. from
$34.86 to $42.26. The amendment to Contract 5050 further provides for
an adjustment in the maximum refund payable to the developer from the
original $7,215.73 to an amount not to exceed $8,747.82.
It is recommended that:
(1) An amendment to Ordinance No. 4619 calling for a per
connection charge of $42.26 be approved.
(2) An amendment to Developer Contract No. 5050 calling
for a per connection charge of $42.26 and a refund
to the developer not to exceed $8,747.82 be approved.
(3) The City Manager be authorized to execute the amendment
- to Developer Contract 5050 on behalf of the City.
There will be no additional cost to the City as a result of these
recommendations.
Respectfully submitted,
