RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize execution of a contract with S.J. Louis Construction of Texas, Ltd. in the amount of $34,824,041.30 for the Fort Worth Central City
Part 14 — Channel Segment C, Sanitary Sewer Relocations project;
2. Adopt the attached resolution expressing official intent to reimburse expenditures with proceeds from future debt and/or annual payments
from the Tarrant Regional Water District for the Fort Worth Central City Water & Sewer Relocations project; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the Water and Sewer Commercial Paper Fund by increasing
appropriations in the Fort Worth Central City Water & Sewer Relocations project (City Project No. 104484) in the amount of $35,830,946.00
and decreasing appropriations in the W&S Commercial Paper project (City Project No. UCMLPR) by the same amount.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a contract with S.J. Louis Construction of Texas, Ltd. in
the amount of $34,824,041.30 for the Fort Worth Central City Part 14 — Channel Segment C, Sanitary Sewer Relocations.
This project Part 14, provides for sanitary sewer relocations and abandonments as identified on the attached Mayor and Council Communication
Location Map to accommodate future Bypass Channel C by the United States, Army Corps of Engineering for the Fort Worth Central City project.
The project was advertised for bid on April 13 and 20, 2023, in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On June 1, 2023, the following bids were received:

In addition to the contract amount $589,016.70 is required for project management, material testing and inspection and $417,888.00 is provided
for project contingencies.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when complete.
This project is anticipated to be repaid from a series of annual reimbursements from the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) as part of the Fort
Worth Central City Water & Sewer Relocations project. In the event any bond -eligible costs are not fully reimbursed by TRWD, those costs would
be 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 the debt is issued. Once payment is received from TRWD and/or debt associated with the unreimbursed
portions of this project is sold, those funds 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 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program as follows:
