DISCUSSION: This Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to authorize a construction contract with S.J. Louis Construction of Texas, Ltd. and appropriate funding for the Clear Fork Force Main project. This project is the second part of a two part project that is known as the Clear Fork Lift Station and Clear Fork Force Main project.The City received bids for the first part of the project;the Clear Fork Lift Station on April 21,2022,that was awarded to Eagle Contracting, LLC on June 14, 2022 (M&C 22-0414). The Lift Station and Force Main projects will provide additional wastewater conveyance to eliminate repeated sanitary sewer overflows that have occurred over the years in the lower reaches of the Clear Fork Drainage Basin. In addition,flow projections have indicated that the existing collection system is undersized in the Clear Fork corridor from the University/Interstate Highway 30 intersection to West 7th Street. When completed the new lift station and force main can also be utilized to perform bypass pumping operations during rehabilitation work on the existing two sewer trunk mains providing significant future construction cost savings.The Force Main project will extend from the Clear Fork Lift Station northerly to 5th Street as shown on the Mayor and Council Communication Map. Construction of the project was advertised for bid on June 23,2022 and June 30,2022, in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. On July 28,2022,the following bids were received: Bidder Base Bid Contract Time S.J.Louis Construction of Texas, $29 829 81571 400 Calendar Ltd. . Days McKee Utility Constructors, Inc. $35,295,920.00 Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC $38,035,845.00 Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc. $39,399,757.00 In addition to the contract cost, $906,843.29 is required for project management and inspection and $298,298.00 is provided for project contingency. This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when complete. This project is part of the Water Department's Sanitary Sewer Overflow Initiative Program. This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue 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 debt 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 federal law, debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable.Adoption of the attached resolution does not obligate the City to sell bonds,but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds. 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 amend the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Year 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program as follows: 60CFFMAIN-SJLOUIS Capital Fund Project FY2022 CIP Budget Change Revised Name Name Authority FY2022 Appropriations (Increase/Decrease) Budget 56020—Water& 100996— Sewer Revenue Clear Fork M&C 22- Bonds Series Lift Station $0.00 0414 $13,917,999.00$13,917,999.00 2022 Fund and Force Main 100996— 56021 -W&S Clear Fork Commercial Lift Station $0.00 This M&C $31,034,957.00 $31,034,957.00 Paper and Force Main Funding for the Clear Fork Lift Station and Force Main project is depicted below: Existing Additional FUND Appropriations Appropriations Project Total* W&S Capital Proj 2018—Fund $3,591,570.00 $0.00 $3,591,570.00 56014 W&S Revenue Series 2022-Fund $13,917,999.00 $0.00 $13,917,999.00 56020 W&S Commercial $0.00 $31,034,957.00 $31,034,957.00 Paper Fund 56021 Project Total $17,509,569.00 $31,034,957.00 $48,544,526.00 Business Equity- S.J.
