$2,532,718.00 and decreasing appropriations in the W&S Commercial Paper project (City Project No. UCMLPR) by the same amount, to

DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the preparation of plans and specifications for the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force
Main, and Gravity Main project.
Due to continued growth in far west Fort Worth north of White Settlement Road it is necessary to perform the engineering and design of the Silver
Creek Lift Station and associated force and gravity sewer mains.
The proposed lift station with a capacity of 10 million gallons per day will act as an overflow for excess from the existing Live Oak Creek Station
and also provide service for areas on the west side of Lake Worth. The scope of work also includes a gravity sanitary sewer from the existing Live
Oak Creek Lift Station to the proposed Silver Creek Lift Station.
A city staff evaluation team reviewed and scored the SOQ's based on specific qualifications of key personnel to be assigned to the project,
specific technical capabilities of the firm related to the project, firm's prior experience on similar projects, identification and qualifications of sub-
contractors to be utilized on the project and ability to fulfill the City's Business Equity goal on the project. After evaluating all the submitted SOQ's,
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was selected as the most qualified consultant to provide design services for this project.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. proposes to provide all the necessary design services for the lift station, force main, and gravity main for a fee of
$1,659,200.00. Staff considers the proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $873,518.00 is required for project management, utility coordination, real property acquisition and material
testing.
In April 2022, the Water Department, Capital Delivery Division, submitted a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from interested and qualified
engineering consulting firms (or other qualified firms) to perform engineering, design, permitting and professional services necessary for the Silver
Creek Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main project. Six consulting firms submitted Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) in response to the
City's RFQ. An evaluation team consisting of Water Department staff reviewed and scored the SOQ's based on specific qualifications of key
personnel to be assigned to the project, specific technical capabilities of the firm related to the project, firm's prior experience on similar projects,
identification and qualifications of sub -contractors to be utilized on the project and ability to fulfill the City's Business Equity goal on the project.
After evaluating all the submitted SOQ's, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was selected as the most qualified consultant to provide design
services for this project.
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 appropriate funds in
support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program, as follows:
