FIRST AMENDMENT TO
FORT WORTH CITY SECRETARY CONTRACT NO. 58056
This Amendment is made between the City of Fort Worth ("City") and North Texas
Hydromulching & Services, LLC ("Vendor").
WHEREAS, Fort Worth and Vendor entered into a non-exclusive Agreement for
landscape irrigation services for the Water department, identified as Fort Worth City Secretary
Contract No. 58056 beginning September 6, 2022 (the "Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, it is the collective desire of both City and Vendor to amend the Agreement
to increase the total compensation amount from $86,000.00 to reflect the collective spending
authority provided for under M&C 22-0610 (approved 08/23/22).
NOW THEREFORE, Fort Worth and Vendor, acting herein by and through their duly
authorized representatives, agree to the following terms, which amend the Agreement as follows:
1. Section 3 of the Agreement, Compensation, is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety
to read as follows:
City will pay Vendor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including
Exhibit "B," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes. Total
payment made under this Agreement for the first year by City shall not exceed One
Hundred, Seventy -Three Thousand Dollars ($173,000.00). The Parties acknowledge
that this is a non-exclusive agreement to provide landscape irrigation services and there is
no guarantee of any specific amount of purchase. Further, Vendor recognizes that the not
to exceed amount mentioned above is the total amount of funds available, collectively, for
any Vendor that enters into an agreement with the City under Mayor and Council
Communication No. 22-0610 (August 23, 2022) and that once the collected not to exceed
amount has been exhausted, funds have therefore been exhausted under this Agreement as
well. Vendor shall not provide any additional items or services or bill for expenses incurred
for City not specified by this Agreement unless City requests and approves in writing the
additional costs for such services. City shall not be liable for any additional expenses of
Vendor not specified by this Agreement unless City first approves such expenses in
writing.
2. All other terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and recitals of the Agreement not
expressly amended herein shall remain in full force and effect.

SUBJECT:
(ALL) Authorize Non -Exclusive Purchase Agreements with North Texas Hydromulching and Landscape
Services, LLC and C.Green Scaping, LP for Landscape Irrigation Services for the Water Department in a
Combined Annual Amount not to Exceed $146,000.00, and Authorize Five One -Year Renewals Options in
the Amount of $175,200.00 for the First Renewal, $210,240.00 for the Second Renewal, $252,288.00 for
the Third Renewal, $302,746.00 for the Fourth Renewal and $363,295.00 for the Fifth Renewal
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize non-exclusive purchase agreements with North Texas
Hydromulching and Landscape Services, LLC and C.Green Scaping, LP for landscape irrigation services
for the Water Department in a combined annual amount not to exceed $146,000.00 and authorize five one-
year renewals options in the amount of $175,200.00 for the first renewal, $210,240.00 for the second
renewal, $252,288.00 for the third renewal, $302,746.00 for the fourth renewal and $363,295.00 for the
fifth renewal.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department approached the Purchasing Division to procure landscape irrigation services.The
services will be used where irrigation equipment and/or lines are damaged by City work crews during
other construction, repair and installation projects on City owned/operated facilities, right-of-ways, storm
water channels, citizen's homes, and industrial areas.
In order to procure these services, staff issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB). ITB No. 22-0143 consisted of
detailed specifications outlining service expectations and performance. No guarantee was made that the
City would purchase specific quantities. This bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June
22, 2022, June 29, 2022, July 6, 2022 and July 13, 2022. The City received three (3) responses.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives of the Water and Transportation and Public Works
departments reviewed and scored the submittals using Best Value criteria. The individuals scores were
averaged for each criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below.

Bed Value criteria:
a. Bidder's qualifications and references related to the scope of work;
b. Bidder's ability to meet the City's timeframes requested in this bid;
c. Bidder's ability to meet the City needs;
d. Cost of Service.
After evaluation, the panel concluded that North Texas Hydromulching and Landscape Services, LLC and
C.Green Scaping, LP presented the best value for the City. Therefore, the panel recommends that Council
authorize this agreement to North Texas Hydromulching and Landscape Services, LLC and C.Green
Scaping, LP. Based on the user department anticipated usage, staff recommends multiple non-exclusive
agreements be awarded to the listed vendors to ensure demands are met in a timely manner. Under these
non-exclusive agreements, departments will order services according to lowest cost and availability. Staff
certifies that the recommended vendors bid met specifications.
Due to market volatility caused by supply chain disruptions, it may be necessary to increase the total
compensation for each annual renewal term. Therefore, it is recommended that Council authorize a total
compensation increase for the renewal terms, if exercised, of 20\% each year. The total compensation for
the initial term of the contracts shall not exceed $146,000.00, $175,200.00 for the first renewal,
$210,240.00 for the second renewal, $252,288.00 for the third renewal, $302,746.00 for the fourth renewal
and $363,295.00 for the fifth renewal.
FUNDING: The maximum amount allowed under this agreement for the initial term will be $146,000.00,
however the actual amount used will be based on the need of the department and available budget. The
annual department allocation for this agreement is:
Estimated
Department Annual Account Name
Amount
Water $ 146,000.00 5330201 - Other Contractual Services
Funding is budgeted in the Water Department rollup within the Water and Sewer Fund.
DVIN-BE: A waiver of the goal for Business Equity subcontracting requirement is approved by the
DVIN-BE, in accordance with the Business Equity Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services
is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by the
City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does not
require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval, this agreement shall begin upon execution and
expire on September 30, 2022.
RENEWAL OPTIONS - The Agreement may be renewed for five (5) one-year renewal periods (October
1 st to September 30th). This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City
Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously
appropriated, in the Water and Sewer Fund to support the approval of the above recommendation and
award of the agreement. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
