DISCUSSION:
On August 16, 2005, M&C C-20904 authorized the execution of a professional services agreement with JRH
Architects, Inc., in the amount of $58,800 for the design and construction administration services for the Spay
and Neuter Surgical Clinic addition to the City's existing Animal Care and Control Center.
On January 18, 2007, M&C C-15582 authorized the rejection of all bids received for the Spay and Neuter
Surgical Clinic addition to the City's existing Animal Care and Control Center and authorized the project be
redesigned and re-advertised for bid.
The project was re-advertised on July 19 and 26, 2007 in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. On August 23, 2007,
Prime Construction Company was the only bidder and was one of the three bidders in the first
advertisement. Prime Construction Company constructed Fire Station No. 38 which opened in February 2007
and is the contractor for Fire Station No. 41, which is under construction.

This project is part of the 2004 Capital Improvement Program with an approved budget of $650,000 for the
project and $15,000 for the public art for this project. An additional $498,000 will be required to award the
construction contract. The overall project cost amount has additional contingencies and ITS costs.
During December 2006, staff identified $150 M in Critical Capital Needs, and Council authorized the sale of
Certificates of Obligation in each of the next four years to meet those needs. This summer, $43.5 M was sold
for projects identified in the first year of the Critical Capital Program. Also during December, staff advised
Council that due to inflation, some cost overruns were anticipated from projects funded in the 2004 Bond
Program, and that $10 M in unspecified debt capacity was reserved for this purpose. Further, staff advised
that these projects would be presented for Council consideration on an as-needed basis for inclusion in future
Certificate of Obligation sales of the Critical Capital needs. In the interim, to avoid further construction delays,
staff recommends these costs be funded by a loan from the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund on a
temporary basis. Subsequently, in order to allow reimbursement of this fund, staff recommends inclusion of
this amount in the next CO sale anticipated sometime in Spring 08, and the use of those proceeds to
reimburse this fund. A reimbursement resolution is attached for this purpose.
Prime Construction Company is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 25 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal for this project is 25 percent M/WBE participation.
The project is physically located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5 but will serve Fort Worth residents in ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
