DISCUSSION:
On February 18, 2020 Mayor and Council Communication (M&C 20-0096), the City Council authorized a contract with William J. Schultz Inc. dba
Circle C Construction Company in the amount of $5,745,825.00 for Main 34, 100, D100 Drainage Areas Sanitary Sewer Improvements Part 1
(City Project No. CO2397).
The contract was subsequently revised by Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $13,500.00 administratively authorized on August 3, 2020, that
provided for installation of a wood box and tunnel and new piping to pick up sewer service lines under the Western Union building and the
installation of a wood box tunnel to provide for the reroute of an old service line location underneath the building.
Change Order No. 2 will provide for the replacement of the deteriorated water main that was encountered on Commerce Street (E. 17th Street to
200 feet North of E. 11th Street) and the replacement of deteriorated sanitary sewer mains in the following alleys: Alley between Monroe Street and
Taylor Street (W. 10th Street to W. 13th Street); Alley between Houston Street and Main Street (W. 2nd Street to W. 3rd Street) and Alley between
Calhoun Street and Jones Street (E. 12th Street to E. 14th Street). The poor condition of these additional water and sanitary sewer mains was
unknown prior to beginning construction of the project.
In addition to the contract cost, $50,000.00 is required for project management, inspection, and material testing.

This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when completed.
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 appropriation 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 adopted the Water Department's Fiscal Year 2021-2025 Five Year Capital Improvement Program on September 22, 2020. 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 other 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.
M/WBE OFFICE: A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Department and approved by the OBD, in
accordance with the MWBE or BIDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
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 W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the Main 34, 100, D100 Drainage Areas Sanitary Sewer Improvements, Part 1, project.
Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
