SUBJECT
(ALL) Adopt Attached Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $130,000.00 for Emergency Water Main Repair Work Performed for the
February 2021 Deep Freeze Weather Event
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water
and Sewer Capital Project Fund in the amount of $130,000.00, transferred from available funds in the Water and Sewer Fund, for the purpose of
funding the Emergency Water Main Repair project (City Project No. 103618).
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.
