SUBJECT
(ALL) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of$4,000,000.00 for Emergency Water Main Repair Work for the Summer 2022 Heat Wave
to Effect a Portion of Water's Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water
and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$4,000,000.00,transferred from available funds within the Water and Sewer Fund,for the
purpose of funding the Emergency Water Main Repair Work for the Summer 2022 Heat Wave projects(City Project Nos. 104270, 104271,
104272,and 104273)and effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The emergency work provides for the repair of multiple water main breaks that can be attributed to the months of June and July with unseasonably
high temperatures exceeding 100°F.The water main breaks are causing disruption in water delivery reliability.Water is critical to the citizen's
health and well-being during a heat wave such as this. It is beyond the ability of Water Department Field Operation Crews to handle the volume of
breaks that are occurring. Using emergency contracting procedures,the Water Department engaged Conatser Construction,TX, LP(City
Secretary Contract No.57923), Reyes Group, LTD(City Secretary No.57888),Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC(City Secretary Contract No.
57887),and Jackson Construction, Ltd. (City Secretary Contract No.57870)each in an amount up to$1,000,000.00 to assist with repairing the
main breaks.
Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements that are necessary to preserve or protect public health
or safety of the municipality's residents and procurements that are necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery,equipment or
property.
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to secure funding to compensate all four contractors after final projects have
been established and to speed up the project closeout process.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its CIP plan throughout the fiscal year,instead of within the annual budget ordinance,as
projects commence,additional funding needs are identified,and to comply with bond covenants.The actions in the M&C will appropriate funds in
support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program,as follows:
