REFERENCE SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE WHOLESALE PAGE NUMBER WATER CONTRACTS 1 11- 10-87 **C-10646 Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute contract amendments with the wholesale water customers, a sample of which is attached, which provides that the Touche Ross rate methodology and wholesale water rates be implemented in fiscal year 1988, and the 1987 Touche Ross wholesale water rate study and the computer model be used to project rates for the five-year period beginning in 1989. Discussion Beginning in May, 1987, the Fort Worth Water Department staff and the Wholesale Water Advisory Committee met to select a rate consulting firm, discuss potential wholesale water contract revisions, and review the 1987 Touche Ross Wholesale Water Rate Study. As a result, the Water Department staff proposed, and the Mayor' s Council approved, a contract amendment which implements the rate methodology and rates of the 1987 Touche Ross Wholesale Water Rate Study in fiscal year 1988. In addition, the amendment provides that the Touche Ross rate study and computer model will be used by Fort Worth in fiscal year 1989 to project rates to be charged for the five-year period beginning in 1989. The contract amendment is viewed by the Fort Worth Water Department staff as a first-step in renegotiating the wholesale water contracts which expire in the period from 1993 to 2002. It is expected that the amendment would be a temporary measure prior to revision of the wholesale water contracts in 1988. Although the amendment is a temporary measure, it benefits the City in two ways: 1) it immediately requires a rate review in 1989, whereas, the current contract allows rate adjustments only every five years; and 2) It serves as an inducement to renegotiate the contracts for the long-term. As of November 4, 1987, nineteen of the twenty-four billed wholesale water customers have signed the contract amendments. Upon receipt of signed contract amendments from all wholesale water customers and execution of the amendment by Jty Council , the Fort Worth Water Department staff will proceed with contract negotiations.
