INTEROFFICE MEMO
Date: July 21,2022
To: Dana Burghdoff,Assistant City Manager
From: Chris Harder,P.E.,Water Director
Subject: EMERGENCY BARRICADE RENTALS—SUMMER 2022 HEAT WAVE
To assist the Water Department, the CMO recently authorized emergency contracts for repairs of water
main breaks, street repaving and other related tasks. The contracts were essential due to a substantial
increase in the volume of repairs attributed to sustained unseasonably high temperatures. In companion
with the repairs, the deployment of traffic control devices are critical to motorists' and citizens' safety,
health and well-being prior to, during and following the completion of the repairs. The current contracts
do not have capacity to support these unexpected barricade rentals.
This memo is submitted to inform the CMO that,pursuant to the emergency authority found in City Code
Chapter 2,Article I,Section 2-9 of the City's Code of Ordinances the Water Department intends to engage
with the following contractors for the rental of traffic control devices necessary to secure worksites and
alert motorists of hazards:
• Buyers Barricades Inc.
• Site Partners LLC d/b/a Site Barricades
Each contract will be in an amount up to$400,000.00 and work will be billed against this amount on a work
order basis. The contractors will reconcile with the Water Department their expenditures and a follow-up
M&C will be presented to the City Council for ratification of the costs.
Waiting to bid and award a contract to perform this work is not the best interest of the health and safety of
the City of Fort Worth.In addition to the citations,above, Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code
exempts from normal bidding requirements expenditures that are necessary to preserve or protect public
health or safety of the municipality's residents and procurements necessary because of unforeseen damage
to public machinery,equipment, or property. Water main breaks can occur at any point within the system
and are thus,unforeseen,regardless of the anticipation that they may occur.
