DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Water Department(FWWD)owns and operates five Water Treatment Plants(WTP).The Rolling Hills Water Treatment Plant
(RHWTP)is the largest FWWD plant,currently rated at 200 million gallons per day capacity.As part of this project,engineering analysis will be
performed as necessary to determine whether to replace or upgrade the existing chlorine scrubber system-which includes conceptual design and
cost estimating each alternative. Carollo Engineers,Inc.,proposes to perform the evaluation for the RHWTP Chlorine Scrubber System project for
a fee not to exceed$155,200.00.
Staff considers this proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed. In addition to the contract cost, $34,800.00 is
required for project management.This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when complete.
Funding for the RHWTP Chlorine Scrubber System Evaluation:

This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water&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. 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. Under federal law,
debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does
not obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8 and serves other COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

will be available in the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the RH Chlorine Scrubber System Prroject to support the execution of the engineering
contract. Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
