LAKE WORTH DREDGING DESIGN PH 2
City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 REFERENCE NO.: * *C -25705
LOG NAME: 60FREESE AND NICHOLS LAKE WORTH DREDGING DESIGN PH 2
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Engineering Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the Amount of
$221,790.00 for Engineering and Design Services for the Lake Worth Dredging Project Phase 2 and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinances (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Lake Worth Gas Lease Capital Improvement Fund in the amount of $221,790.00 from Gas Well
Revenues;
2. Authorize the transfer of $221,790.00 from the Lake Worth Gas Lease Capital Improvement Fund to
the Water Capital Projects Fund;
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $221,790.00; and
4. Authorize the execution of a contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc., for engineering and construction
services associated with the Lake Worth Dredging Project Phase 2 in the amount of $221,790.00.
DISCUSSION:
On January 8, 2008, the City Council amended the Gas Well Revenue Distribution Policy to allow for
revenues derived from lease bonuses and royalties from properties in and around Lake Worth to be used
for the execution of the 2007 Lake Worth Capital Improvements Implementation Plan. One of the major
projects of this plan is the Lake Worth Dredging Project.
On December 16, 2008, (M &C C- 23262) the City Council authorized an Engineering Agreement with
Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the amount of $1,519,279.00 for the initial design of the Lake Worth Dredging
Project. During permitting review with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) it became apparent that
additional work would be required for a number of the dredge areas due to their proximity to wetlands or
shoreline habitat. In addition the engineers' cost estimate for the entire dredging project exceeded
available funds. In order to allow the majority of the dredging project to proceed with final permitting and
solicitation of bids the decision was made to split the dredging project into two phases. Phase 1 would be
designed to stay within the available funds and include those areas in the main body of the lake that did
not have any wetland or shoreline habitat impacts. Phase 2 would include the remaining designated
dredging areas.
