Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the amount of $36,825.00 to fully fund the Emergency Contract with William J. Schultz, Inc. d/b/a Circle "C"
Construction Company (CS No. 52275) for Emergency Sanitary Sewer Repair Work Performed on 7th Street (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund
in the amount of $36,825.00 from available funds; and
2. Ratify the Emergency Contract with William J. Schultz, Inc. d/b/a Circle C Construction Company, City Secretary No. 52275, in the final
amount of $36,825.00 for emergency work to repair the portion of the sanitary sewer main (M-34) located on 7th Street between Commerce
Street and Main Street. (City Project No. 102292)
DISCUSSION:
The emergency work performed on 7th Street was necessary to fill a large void underneath the pavement of 7th Street between Commerce Street
and Main Street. The void was created as a result of soil material entering a previously abandoned 8-inch sanitary sewer main (M-34) and also
through the empty annular space of the tunnel of an adjacent 24-inch sanitary sewer main (DSL-7R*).
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 repair to the sanitary sewer main on 7th Street.
The attached City Manager Memo dated April 26, 2019 approved the emergency work up to $300,000.00. The total construction cost was
$36,825.60, 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 9.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
