(ALL) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $300,000.00 to Fund the Second Renewal of an Engineering Agreement with Shield
Engineering Group, PLLC. for Water and Sanitary Sewer Design Services Contract 2020 and to Effect a Portion of Water's Contribution to the
Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water
and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $300,000.00, transferred from available funds within the Water & Sewer Fund, for the purpose
of funding the Water and Sanitary Sewer Design Services Contract project (City Project No. 103324) and to effect a portion of Water's
Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvements Program.
DISCUSSION:
On June 8, 2021, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C 21-0380) the City Council authorized the execution of an Engineering Agreement in
the amount of $270,000.00, with Shield Engineering Group, PLLC. for Water and Sanitary Sewer Design Services Contract 2020 (City Secretary
Contract No. 56396) and provided for the option of three renewals. One June 14, 2022 (M&C 22-0413), the City Council adopted appropriation
ordinance in the amount of $300,000.00 transferred from available funds within the water and sewer fund to fund the first renewal of the agreement
and related staff costs.
The City and the Consultant desire to exercise the second renewal of the contract in the same amount and with the same terms and conditions.
The Water Department has a need for general engineering design assisting with in-house design projects such as water and/or sanitary sewer
main replacement, relocations, repairs and analysis. The Engineer may also provide design for emergency situations including traffic control,
erosion control, slope stabilization and other professional engineering or construction services. As engineering work is warranted, the City will
issue individual work orders to the Engineer for which a cost determination will be prepared and approved before work begins.
In addition to the contract cost, $30,000.00 (Water: $15,000.00; Sewer: $15,000.00) is required for project management and material testing.
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:
