DISCUSSION:
HT HWY 114 Development LP (Developer) is constructing the Tradition Central Development (Development) located north of Highway 114 and
west of Interstate 35W on FM 156. The Developer executed a Community Facilities Agreement (CFA) with the City for the construction of public
infrastructure for Winding Meadows Drive phase of the project (City Secretary Contract Number 53652). After execution of the CFA, the
Developer requested to increase the size of the sewer mains in the CFA and the Water Department would like to cost participate to oversize a
proposed 18-inch sewer main to a 24-inch sewer main and to oversize a 15-inch sewer main to a 24-inch sewer main. The oversized sewer mains
will serve the Tradition Central Development and anticipated future growth in north Fort Worth. Tradition -Winding Meadows Drive Project assigned
City Project No. 102307 Accela System Record IPRC19-0207. The City will not participate in cost of inspection and material testing fees.
In accordance with Chapter 212, Subchapter C of the Texas Local Government Code, the City's participation in the contract is exempt from
competitive bidding requirements because the contract is for oversizing public improvements being constructed by the developer, the developer
will execute a performance bond to cover the total project cost, including all of the City's cost participation, and the City's cost participation will be
determined in accordance with the City's CFA Unit Price Ordinance.
The City's cost participation in the construction and oversizing of the sewer mains is estimated to be in an amount not to exceed $492,204.00 as

Fees
The reimbursement of the participation, excluding inspection and material testing fees, is not a lump -sum amount and may be less than the stated
amount depending upon the actual quantities and unit prices from the Notice of Final Completion package, commonly referred to as the Green
Sheet package.
This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water and Sewer Fund. Available cash within the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used to provide
interim financing for this project until debt is issued. To the extent resources other than the Water and Sewer portfolio are used to provide interim
financing, the Water and Sewer Fund will be charged interest that is equivalent to the overall rate of return being earned by the City portfolio
(currently approximately 2.3 percent annually). Should the City's portfolio not support the liquidity needed to provide an interim short-term financing
source, another funding source will be required, which could mean issuance of securities under the CP Program or earlier issuance of Water and
Sewer revenue bonds than is currently planned. 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.
The City Council approved the Water Department's Fiscal Year 2020-2024 Five Year Capital Improvement Plan on September 17, 2019. This City
Council approved plan includes this specific project, with funding identified through the CP program to be reimbursed with future revenue bonds. In
accordance with the provisions of the Financial Management Policy Statement, Staff anticipates presenting revenue -supported debt issuances to
the City Council for consideration within the next three years. This debt must be issued within approximately three years to provide reimbursement
for these expenses. If that does not occur, the costs will no longer be reimbursable by issuing tax-exempt debt and the funding source will have to
be made whole through budgetary methods. Adoption of this resolution does not obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability to
reimburse the City from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
This development is located in Council District 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
will be available in the Water & Sewer Commercial Paper Fund (56019) CFA Bucket project which in turn will fund the CFA- Winding Meadows
Drive Project. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
