in the amount of $1,184,109.00 from available funds; and
2. Ratify the Emergency Agreement with William J. Schultz, Inc. d/b/a Circle C Construction Company, City Secretary No. 51472, in the final

sanitary sewer mains the City's twin 90-inch sanitary sewer mains. (City Project No. 102345)
DISCUSSION:
The emergency work performed on the City's twin 90-inch sanitary sewer mains M-280-B and M-338-B was necessary to prevent failure of the
slope bank of the portion of the Trinity River behind which both 90-inch mains are located. The contract provided for the reinforcement of previously
installed sheet pile cutoff wall that became unstable after heavy rains and the installation of a new sheet pile cutoff wall to secure a newly
composed riverbank in close proximity to the two 90-inch mains.
It was beyond the City's ability to perform repairs of this complexity. The Water Department engaged William J. Schultz, Inc. d/b/a Circle C
Construction Company for the emergency sanitary sewer repair work performed on the Trinity River Streambank erosion affecting two90-inch
sanitary sewer mains.
The attached City Manager Memo dated October 17, 2018 and January 2, 2019 supplemental memorandum authorized City Secretary Contract
No. 51472, and Change Order 1 thereto, for the emergency work up to $1,200,000.00. The total construction cost was $1,184,108.99, which is
fair and reasonable for the work performed.
Sanitary Sewer Overflows are a threat to the health and safety of the City of Fort Worth. Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-9 of the City's Code of
Ordinances and Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements expenditures that are necessary to
preserve or protect public health or safety of the municipality's residents; and procurements that are necessary because of unforeseen damage to
public machinery, equipment, or property.
This project was located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract legally does not require City Council approval.
