DISCUSSION:
The emergency work provided for the repair of multiple water main breaks that occurred during the deep freeze event in Texas that commenced on
February 14,2021 and lasted for several days. It was beyond the City of Fort Worth's ability as well as the on-call emergency contractors to handle
the volume of main breaks that were occurring.Using emergency contracting procedures,the Water Department engaged McKee Utility
Contractors, Inc. (City Secretary Contract No.55334)to assist with repairing the main breaks.
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)is to secure funding to compensate McKee after final project costs have been
established and to speed up the project close out process.
