DATE: APRIL 25, 2019
TO: JESUS CHAPA, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
DOUG BLACK, SR. ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY
FROM: CHRIS HARDER, WATER DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY REPAIRS — UPPER CLEAR FORK SEWER LINE (M-
439*)
On April 24th, Water Field Operations was called to investigate a 5 ft. diameter sinkhole,
approximately 8 ft. deep, located south of the W. 7th St./Harrold St. intersection, in Trinity Park.
The sinkhole is located over the existing 36-inch siphon on M-439* which crosses under the
existing 72-inch raw water main to North Holly Water Treatment Plant.
It is estimated that up to 40 LF of the existing 36-inch ductile iron pipe will be replaced with new
36-inch ductile iron pipe as part of the emergency response. Bypass pumping of the wastewater
flow shall be performed in order to replace the existing pipe.
The repair locations are shown in detail on the attached plans.
It is beyond the capacity of Water Department staff to perform repairs of this size and length.
Therefore, the Water Department has contracted Conatser Construction TX, L.P. to perform the
pipe replacement and related bypass pumping.
Waiting to bid and award a contract to replace the damaged sewer line is not in the best interest
of the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Fort Worth. Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-9
of the c,ity'2 Code Ui Ordinances and Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempt
From normal bidding requirements expenditures that are necessary to preserve or protect public
health or safety of the mKiincipality's residents; and procurements necessary because of
unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, ui Yropei 'Ly.
This memo is submitted to request authorization for emergency procurcnient of construction
services provided by Conatser Construction TX, L.P.. The total cost associated with this
emergency is estimated to be $400,000.
An M&C will be circulated to ratify the emergency contract after the work has been performed.

RE: SUPPLEMENT TO APRIL 25, 2019 MEMORANDUM AND CITY SECRETARY
CONTRACT NO. 52264 RE: EMERGENCY REPAIRS — UPPER CLEAR FORK
SEWER M-439*
This memorandum is to supplement the April 25, 2019 emergency memorandum — resulting in City
Secretary Contract No. 52264 with Conatser Construction TX, LP ("Conatser") for emergency services to
reroute the cracked leaking segment of sewer main M-23 8 from an inaccessible location at the bottom of a
tributary creek of the Trinity River to a location further away from the creek edge. The existing alignment
of the 30-inch main at the edge of the creek has been continuously eroded over the years and is now exposed
which possibly caused a hole to form in the pipe.
To expedite the reroute, staff recommends that City Secretary Contract No. 52264 be revised to allow
Conatser to do the work. It is anticipated that the additional work may cost up to $700,000.00
A change order will be processed to the existing contract with Conatser and actual costs will be reconciled
at the end of the project.
