DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the establishment of a per acre charge for a developer initiated sewer main
extension (City Project No. 101548, X-25450). Uplift Education constructed an offsite sewer main for the Uplift Charter School Chapin Rd
development. The Fort Worth Water Department cost participated with the developer to upsize the sewer main to 15-inch diameter pipe. The
Water Department also cost participated to upsize sewer main to 15-inch diameter for the downstream project for Palmilla Springs Ph 4 (City
Project No. 101026, X-24438). The overall length of wastewater main that was oversized to 15-inches in diameter is 6,381 linear feet which will
serve a calculated basin area of 993.51 acres.
The qualified costs used to establish this per acre charge are outlined below:
Engineering
1 $15,800.00
Easements
1 $1,500.00
Developer Construction Costs
$279,397.75
City Cost Participation (Uplift Charter)
$199,093.31
City Cost Participation (Palmilla Springs Ph 4)
$23,030.00
Total
$518,821.06
The net acreage of the calculated sewer basin is 993.51 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 sewer extension for Uplift Charter School Chapin
Rd development is $522.21 per acre.
The percentage of the per acre charge collected that will be eligible to be reimbursed to Uplift Education shall be 57% and to the Fort Worth Water
Department is 43%. 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 3.
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
