DISCUSSION:
On January 29, 2019 Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-29013), the City Council authorized the execution of uniform wholesale
contracts with the City of Hudson Oaks and the City of Willow Park (City Secretary Contract Nos. 52219 and 52220) paving the way for the cities to
become Fort Worth's newest wholesale customers. Hudson Oaks and Willow Park are jointly funding and constructing projects that will allow them
to connect to the Fort Worth water system. The projects include an 18-inch approach water main, a wholesale water meter station,storage and
distribution facilities. The approach main will parallel Interstate Highway (IH) 20, starting at the intersection of Farm to Market (FM) 3325 and IH
20 in Fort Worth, and extend west through Fort Worth's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) into Parker County. The main will deliver water to a future
storage tank and pump station in the vicinity of El Chico Trail in the City of Willow Park. At the conclusion of the project, the portion of the main in
Fort Worth's ETJ and the wholesale meter station located at the new storage and distribution facility within Willow Park will be dedicated to and
operated and maintained by Fort Worth.
The approach main will cross properties within the Fort Worth ETJ whose owners are entering into pre -annexation agreements with Fort Worth.
Upsizing the portion of the approach main in the Fort Worth ETJ from 18 inches to 24 inches will allow Fort Worth to extend water service to future
developments in the area. The estimated cost for upsizing the line is $734,000.00 based on the engineer's opinion of probable construction cost.
Final cost participation will be based on the actual bid amount and may be more or less than the engineer's estimate. In addition to the cost for
upsizing the line, $135,000.00 is required for staff time and testing. Per the service contract with Hudson Oaks and Willow Park, staff time and
testing costs for the wholesale meter station portion of the project will be paid for by Fort Worth. Staff time and testing costs for the approach main
portion of the project will be paid by Hudson Oaks and Willow Park in the amount of $50,000.00 that will be deposited into the Water & Sewer
Capital Projects Fund with a reconciliation at the end of the project. A breakdown of the estimated project costs for Hudson Oaks, Willow Park,
and Fort Worth is provided in the following table.
