DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize the establishment of a per acre charge for a developer initiated sewer main
collector for the Off -Site Sanitary Sewer project at the Southfork Estates (Crowley SS Relief Line - City Project No. 100884, City Secretary
Contract No. 49905). Crowley 96 LLC constructed offsite sewer main for Southfork Estates. The Fort Worth Water Department cost participated
with the developer to upsize the collector main to 36-inch diameter pipe. This project will provide additional capacity to convey anticipated flows
from proposed development within the Upper Village Creek Drainage Basin as well as the Rock Creek Drainage Basin. The wastewater
collection main is 1,670 linear feet of 36-inch diameter wastewater pipe which will serve a calculated basin area of 11,723.11 acres. The
establishment of this per acre charge will allow the City to recapture costs associated with the capital investment in wastewater collection mains.
The qualified costs used to establish this per acre charge are outlined below:
Design
$10,300.00
Construction (Developer)
$118,837.00
Construction (City Cost Participation)
$128,434.07
Total
$257,571.07
The net acreage of the calculated sewer basin is 11,723.11 acres, which is depicted on the drainage map attached to this communication. By
dividing the costs above by the number of acres in the sewer basin, the per -acre charge for the Off -Site Sanitary Sewer for Southfork Estates is
$21.97 per acre.
The percentage of the per acre charge collected, that will be eligible to be reimbursed to Crowley 96 LLC, shall be 50% and to the Fort Worth
Water Department is 50%. The collection period for the developer shall be 20 years or until the maximal reimbursable amount has been received,
whichever comes first. There is no restriction to the time period for the reimbursement to the Fort Worth Water Department.
A per acre charge shall be assessed on each acre within the calculated sewer basin area served by a sewer approach main or by a sewer main
constructed under a city initiated project, without exclusion or reduction.
The wastewater collection main is located in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and Council District 6.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and establishment of the charge, funds will be deposited into
the Water & Sewer Fund. The Water Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due
to the City.
