Contract No.52094 with Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC for the Wastewater Diversion from Eagle Mountain Lake Drainage Basin to Big
Fossil Creek Drainage Basin Force Main and Gravity Main Sewer project.
DISCUSSION:
On December 27,2018,the City of Fort Worth(City)administratively executed a Community Facilities Agreement(CFA)with D.R. Horton-Texas,
LTD(Developer)for the construction of public infrastructure improvements(City Secretary Contract No.51714)for a project generally described
as Twin Mills Phase 4 which includes the construction of Park Drive from Old Decatur Road westerly approximately 1,650 linear feet to existing
concrete pavement.
On March 5,2019, Mayor and Council(M&C C-29052)authorized a contract with Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC,in the amount of
$7,497,947.00(City Secretary Contract No.52094)for the Wastewater Diversion from Eagle Mountain Lake Drainage Basin to Big Fossil Creek
Drainage Basin Force Main and Gravity Main Sewer project(WWDiversion). The contract was subsequently revised by Change Order No. 1
which provided for 50 additional calendar days on the project for additional work,administratively authorized December 5,2019.
The WWDiversion project included a 36-inch gravity sanitary sewer which was to be constructed on open land that would later become Park Drive.
However,after awarding the contract for the WWDiversion project,it was discovered that a portion of Park Drive from the existing pavement
eastward had recently been constructed by the Developer under the CFA.Staff requested and the Developer agreed to cease construction for the
areas in conflict with the 36-inch gravity sewer line and an agreement was negotiated wherein the Developer would reduce its CFA obligation to
construct and instead pay the City the cost for the uncompleted work which the City would complete after the sewer main installation.To this effect,
the Developer is providing$165,635.00 towards this Change Order No.2. In addition to those costs, Change Order No.2 includes the cost to
relocate a gas line that was found to be in conflict with the gravity sewer main.
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 the 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 2.8 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 2020-2024 Five Year Capital Improvement Plan on September 17,2019.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.

Main Sewer project is as depicted in the table below:
