DISCUSSION:
On March 5, 2019, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-29052) authorized a contract with Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC for
$7,497,947.00 (City Secretary Contract No. 52094) for the Wastewater Diversion from Eagle Mountain Lake Drainage Basin to Big Fossil Creek
Drainage Basin Force Main and Gravity Main Sewer project. The contract was subsequently revised by Change Order No.1, which provided for

reconstruction of a segment park drive after the installation of a project sewer main.
This M&C is to authorized the execution of Change Order No. 3 which provides compensation for railroad flagmen that are required during tunnel
construction underneath the segments of the sewer gravity main that cross Union Pacific Railroad and Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-
way. The additional time requested provides for the time it took to obain the railroad permit and the time it wil take to install the tunnel. This project
is anticipated to be included in a future bond issue for the Water & 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 debit is issued. 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. Under the federal law, debt must be issued
within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of attached resolution does not obligate the city to sell
bonds, but preserves the ability to reimburse itself from tax-exempt proceeds.
