Authorize execution of an Engineering Agreement with Teague Nall & Perkins, Inc. in the amount of $1,142,215.00 for the Design of Northside IV 24-inch Water Transmission Main, Phase I C (City Project No. 105114); 2.

DISCUSSION: This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize engineering services for the Design of Northside IV 24-inch Water Transmission Main, Phase 1 C project. The proposed water transmission main will provide connection between Bonds Ranch Road and the Northside IV Elevated Storage Tank located near the intersection of US 287 and BUS 287 south of Avondale -Haslet Road. The proposed water transmission main will provide increased reliability for increasing and future growth and demand in the far North area of Fort Worth. The scope of services to be provided consists of a route study, hydraulic analysis, the preparation of design plans and specification for the selected alignment, design survey, geotechnical investigations, and easement document preparation. Teague Nall & Perkins, Inc., proposes to provide the necessary services for a fee not to exceed $1,142,215.00. Staff considers the proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed. In addition to the contract amount, $776,535.00 is required for project management, real property acquisitions and material testing. 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 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 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program.
