6.1.2 If the City disagrees with the values utilized by the Design -Builder in the schedule
of values, the City shall provide the Design -Builder a written objection to the schedule of values
within seven (7) days after the City's receipt of the schedule of values, specifically stating the items

6.2.2 Within ten (10) days after the City's receipt of each monthly application for
payment, the City shall give written notice to the Design -Builder of the City's acceptance, rejection,
or adjustment of such application for payment. The City's adjustment or rejection of an application

6.2.3 Justification for Citv's Adiustment. For the following reasons, the City may
reject or adjust an application for payment submitted by the Design -Builder to the extent necessary
to protect the City from loss or damage for which Design -Builder is responsible under this
Agreement:
6.2.3.1 The Design -Builder repeatedly fails to perform the Construction Work as required
by the Construction Documents;
6.2.3.2 The City suffers or incurs a loss or damage arising out of this Agreement and
caused by the Design -Builder, but only to the extent that such loss or damage is not covered by
insurance provided by Design -Builder or by City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
6.2.3.3 The City receives notice that the Design -Builder has failed to pay Design
Consultants, Subcontractors, or other persons supplying materials, equipment or supplies
incorporated into the Construction Work, when the City has paid the Design -Builder for such
Construction Work;
6.2.3.4 The Design -Builder fails to correct Defective Work in a timely manner as provided
in this Agreement; or
6.2.3.5 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price is insufficient to pay for the cost to
complete the Construction Work required under this Agreement.
6.2.3.5 When the above basis for rejecting or adjusting an application for payment has
been removed, the City will make payment within thirty (30) days to the Design -Builder for the
amounts previously withheld.
6.2.4 Retainaqe Before Substantial Completion. From each progress payment
made prior to the time of Substantial Completion of the Construction Work, the City may retain five

the Construction Work, the City shall pay the Design -Builder the unpaid balance of the Contract
Price, less a sum equal to 150% of the Design -Builder's estimated cost of completing any unfinished
items, as agreed to between the City and the Design -Builder. The City thereafter shall pay the
Design -Builder monthly the amount retained for unfinished items as each item is completed.
6.2.6 Citv's Failure to Pay. If the City fails to pay the Design -Builder at the time
payment of any amount becomes due, and such amount remains unpaid for a period of seven (7)
days, then (i) within three (3) City business days after the City's receipt of notice from the Design -
Builder of the Design -Builder's intention to cease work on the Project, the Design -Builder may stop
all work on the Project until full payment of the amount owing has been received by the Design -
Builder and (ii) within seven (7) days after the City's receipt of notice of termination from the Design -
Builder, the Design -Builder may terminate this Agreement. Payments due but unpaid pursuant to
this Agreement shall bear interest at the rate set forth for past due construction payments in Chapter

incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to the City upon receipt by Design -Builder of payment for
the application for payment, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances.
The City's payment of an application for payment, whether in whole or in part, shall not be deemed
acceptance of any Construction Work not conforming to the requirements of the Construction
Documents, it being the duty and responsibility of the Design -Builder to perform the Construction
Work in accordance with the requirements of the Construction Documents.
6.3 Final Payment.
6.3.1 Upon completion of all work under this Agreement, including punch Fist work,
Design -Builder shall submit an invoice to City for the final Contract Price, less progress payments

of disagreement must describe in detail those portions of the Final Invoice disputed and the
reason(s).
6.3.3 If City disagrees or objects with the Final Invoice, payment shall nevertheless be
made for the undisputed balance, if any, due Design -Builder. Such payment of the undisputed
balance is due not later than 45 days following Design -Builder's submission of the Final Invoice.
With respect to the disputed amount of Design -Builder's Final Invoice the parties shall meet within
the 30-day period following City's notice of disagreement and attempt to resolve the dispute by
agreement. If that process is unsuccessful, the City and Design Builder shall submit the dispute to
non -binding mediation, and if such mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the dispute, either City or
Design -Builder may bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Tarrant County, Texas.
6.3.4 In the event the final total Contract Price payable under this Agreement is less
than the sum of progress payments previously received, Design -Builder shall refund the amount of
such excess progress payments received to City within 10 days following the final determination of
the final total Contract Price. Any refund not so made shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum.
6.3.5 City shall pay Design -Builder interest at the rate set forth for past due construction
payments in Chapter 2251 of the Texas Government Code on any amounts not timely paid under
this Agreement. To the extent any disputed entitlement to payment is resolved in favor of the
Design -Builder, such interest shall be paid on the amount determined to be due Design -Builder from
the original due date of the disputed payment.

manmade, Design -Builder will be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price, and/or the Contract
Time, to the extent that the Differing Site Condition adversely impacts design -Builder's costs and/or
time of performance. Upon encountering a manmade Differing Site Condition, Design -Builder shall
provide prompt written notice to City of such condition, which notice shall not be later than five (5)
business days after the impact of such manmade Differing Site Condition has been determined by
Design -Builder. Design -Builder shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide such notice in a
manner to allow the City to mitigate any costs or extra expenses arising out of the manmade
Differing Site Condition. Design -Builder waives any claim for additional time and/or compensation
for failure to provide written notice as required herein. Design -Builder shall not be entitled to any
additional compensation for a naturally occurring Differing Site Condition, but shall be entitled to and

Re: RFQ N6473 ;.•° :..
Dear Ms. Del4o+yti
f4l r.
Sabre Comm catiptts Corporation appreciates this opportunity to rc-submit a pricing proposal
fear the supply abd installation of a self-supporting tower for the Rofling Hills Water Treatment
Plant.
The enclosed proposal takes into account your reested changes as a resuit of the meeting that
Iqu
vps held on December j0's. We moved theinside platformfrom 320' to the 300' elevation,
removed the bottom two artistic light ring-ind removed pricing for the supply of the artistic
lighting makrio.,-,
4-tower d afor this proposal is based on the specifications and antenna and litre criteria that
was provided with`Addendtun Oneand Amendment ()tie of One and is in accordtance �� ith the
TiA-222-G-s6ndard. Also included in this design arc the artistic lighting,rings as shown 'on the
co* pttifittdrawings #6 and #7.

mid iustallej the Western ('onunurticatums i lw cr for the City sal fort %%orth we are contiJent
that we can provide and in.-itall this tower to %our complete cattrsfUtion.
While we understand the' City's provision for participation of minority and.'ur women owned
so business enterprises for this,project, and will utilize an M,«'13f•. for the installation of the
foundations and concrete work, their participation will not constitute 204,16 of the total contract.
This is in part due to the high cost of material for this specially designed tower which is designc%l
MO to Support the fi%c (ii artistic light rings along with the specified ant<.nna and line loading. Sabre
wants and needs to utilise a tower erection company that has a proven record of successful tower
am
s
Page 2
installations and experience to install this 480' S4R self-supporting tower. Also, since this
project consistg of only founding instillation, tower foundation installation and tower erection,
utilizing M/WBE cnterptises for a total'of 20% of the contract amount is difficult to achieve.
Wireless Horizon, Inc. 1iks.performed many tower projects for Sabre Communications throughout
the United States over t�e fast several y ears. They are experienced with Sabre's products,
procedures and safety raluiremicots�vhich-will be vital for the successful completion of this
project. We also kouw how important on-srteproject management is to the City and WHI has the
person for this role" This individual, Riehi3rd Heisler, has over 40 years experience in the tower
industry and has an -office in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area. Mr. Heisler has managed several
projects for public Of* in thq State of Texas for Sabre such as the City of Garland, the City of
Granbury and the Cih• of Midlothian along with Denton County. We feel that a high exposure
project such as this demands qualified people doing this specialized work and we are confident
that Sabre and Wireless Horizon's experience in the tower industry will fulfill the requirements
for a successful and safe installation of the communications toiaer for the Rolling Hills Treatment
Plant.

W Re: RFQ No. 07-0030
Dear Ms. DeHoyos,
Sabre Communications Corporation appreciates this opportunity to submit a pricing proposal fir
the supply and installation of self-supporting tower for the Rolling Ifills Water Treatment Plant.
The tower design for this proposal is based on the specifications and antenna and line criteria that
was provided with Addendum One and Amendment One of One and is in accordance with the
TIA-222-G standard. Also included in this design are the artistic lighting rings as shown on the
conceptual drawings #6 and #7.
Sabre Communications designs and manufactures communications towers; guyed, self-supporting
and monopoles along with components. We also install our tower products by utilizing qualified
and respected contractors who have gone through a rigorous qualification process. We are not it
Design/Build firm with an architect on staff. Our design expertise lies with towers and
.r
monopoles and our construction expertise lies with installing these products along with
equipment shelters, standby generators, civil site and electrical work, antennas and lines, etc. All
of these functions are based on specifications provided to us by our customers. Having provided
and installed the Western Communications Tower for the Citv of Fort Worth we are confident
that we can provide and install this tower to your complete satisfaction.
While %,.e understand the City' provision tier participation of minority and/or women u%% tied
No business enterprises for this project, and will utilize an \i.\\'BF for the installation of the
foundations and concrete work, their participation �%M not constitute 20% of the total contract.
1-his is in part due to the high cost ofrnaterial for this specially designed tower which is designed
to support the seven (7) artistic light rings along with the specified antenna and line loading.
Sabre wants and needs to utilize a tower erection company that has a proven record of successful
to%%er installations and experience to install this 480' S4R ticlf-supporting tower. Also, since this
project consists of only grounding in,.tallation, tower foundation installation and tower erection,
utilizing M.AVBF, enterprises for a total of' 20°% of the contract amount is difficult to achic%e.

Wireless Horizon. Inc. has performed many tower projects tier Sabre Communications throughout
r.� the United States over the last several years. They are experienced %%ith Sabre's products,
procedures and safety requirements %%hich will be vital for the successful completion of this
project. We also know how important on -site project management is to the City and WI II has the
person for this role. This individual, Richard Heisler, has over 40 years experience in the tower
industry and has an office in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area. Mr. Heisler has managed several
projects for public safety in the State of Texas for Sabre such as the City of Garland. the City of
Granbury and the City of Midlothian along with Denton County. We feel that a high exposure
project such as this demands qualified people doing this specialized work and we are confident
that Sabre and Wireless Horizon's experience in the tower industry will fulfill the requirement
for a successful and safe installation of the communications tower for the Rolling I lilts treatment
Plant.

Subject: RE: design build tower contract
Beatrice,
wl think we need to meet or have a conference call.
I see that the proposal submitted is $1,385,383.00 but the award was $1,328,929.00. Why the difference?
The payment and performance bond must be the amount of the GMP (or lump sum less design fees) per 8.6 of the
contracts. How much is that?
Where is the 1 year maintenance bond required at 8.6.5 of the contract?

Beatrice,
Why is the payment and performance bond for the design -build contract only $343,342.00 but the contract is
$1,328,929? Is the design that much more than the construction? What is the GMP?

Subject: Rolling Hills Tower Replacement
Request your signature on attached contract for the first phase of the Rolling Hills Radio
Tower Replacement.
On October 13, 2009, Council approved M&C C-23844 which authorizes the City
Manager to execute a design/build contract with Sabre Communications Corporation for
the design and construction of the replacement tower in an amount not to exceed
$1,328,929.00.
Under this contract, Sabre Communications will provide:
1. The engineering design, fabrication, delivery and construction of the tower
structure, including all foundations and grounding.
2. The design, fabrication and installation of structural elements associated with the
artistic lighting system.
3. The dismantling, removal and disposal of the old tower structure.
This is needed to replace an aging existing communications tower that has reached the
end of its service life. In addition, structural analysis by structural engineers Malouf and
Associates have determined the existing tower is loaded at 103% of its capacity.
The communications site on this tower is a critical element of the City of Fort Worth
public safety radio system which provides key coverage to Districts 3,6 and 8.
An additional M&C for the procurement, installation and testing of a new antenna
system is in process. We expect to submit this to you within the next 6 weeks for
signature.
Once completed, please contact Beatrice De Hoyos, IT Business Systems
Coordinator/Contract Administrator at 817-392-6640, to pick up the executed document.
Should you have any additional questions, please let me know.

COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 10/13/2009
DATE: 10/13/2009 REFERENCE NO.: C-23844 LOG NAME: 04SABRE
CODE: C TYPE: NON -CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: NO
SUBJECT: Authorize a Design/Build Contract in the Amount of $1,328,929.00 with Sabre Communications Corporation for the
Replacement of the Public Safety Communications Tower at Rolling Hills Water Treatment Facility for the Information
Technology Solutions Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Design/Build Contract in the amount of
$1,328,929.00 with Sabre Communications Corporation for the design and construction for the replacement of the Public Safety
Communications Tower at Rolling Hills Water Treatment Facility for the Information Technology Solutions Department
DISCUSSION:
The 2004 Bond Program, Proposition Five, was approved by voters and included $1,195,000.00 to partially finance the
replacement of four aging radio communication towers. Also, the CCPD budget included funds in the amount of $300,000.00 to
support the replacement of the four towers.
In August 2008, the Council approved a 2008 Certificates of Obligation program for cost overruns and under funded projects in the
2004 Bond program. This program included funding in the amount of $4.9 million to support the tower replacements and was
initially planned for sale over a three-year period. To date, $2.1 million of debt sales for the tower project have been made. Funds
in the amount of $2.8 million to complete the towers will be recommended for inclusion in future debt sales in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
This M&C is to design and construct the replacement of the first of those four towers, Rolling Hills. Replacement of three other
towers included in the 2004 CIP (West Bolt Street, Holly Complex and Levee) will be scheduled when funding becomes available.
Malouf Engineering performed studies of these towers in 2008 and the results indicate that they do not need to be replaced this
year.
This new tower is projected to have a service life of 35-60 years and will be capable of hosting the City's next generation
interoperable Radio System supporting the latest (P25) digital standard.
The Public Safety Trunked Radio Communication System is vital to the welfare and safety of Fort Worth Citizens. The
infrastructure for the radio system includes towers located throughout the City.
The Rolling Hills Tower is showing signs of significant wear. Additionally, the tower is currently loaded at 104 percent of its rated
capacity, despite having previously been structurally reinforced as much as possible. Malouf Engineering assessed the tower and
determined that it is overstressed with its current loading and that it is near its expected service life. As a result, the immediate
replacement of this tower is required.
Additionally, the City has partnered with The Fort Worth Arts Council to include an artistic element for the proposed Rolling Hill
tower replacement project This tower will have a unique artistic lighting scheme as part of the tower.
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8 and is one element of the total radio infrastructure that serves the City as a whole.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for replacing the tower at the Rolling Hills was published in the Commercial Recorder on
January 24, 2007 and January 31, 2007. Three contractors submitted a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for review. An
evaluation committee evaluated the SOQ's and two contractors were each requested to submit a formal proposal. Only one of the

M&C Review
vendors submitted a proposal. After review of the proposal, staff recommends awarding the contract to Sabre. Our analysis of
current materials and services pricing and the cost of our most recent tower construction indicate this is a reasonable submission.
This contract covers the costs for the design, fabrication and construction of the Rolling Hills physical tower and associated work.
` Additional work will also be required to complete the project, including but not limited to: materials and installation of the antennas
and transmission line equipment to transfer the working Radio Systems communication equipment from the old to the new tower
and shelter replacement/upgrades. These components will be submitted under separate M&Cs.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager for an
amount up to $25,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
M/WBE - Sabre Communications Corporation is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 5 percent M/
WBE participation and documenting good faith effort Sabre Communications Corporation identified several subcontracting
opportunities. However, the M/WBE's contacted in the areas identified did not respond or did not submit the lowest bids. The
City's goal on this project is 8 percent. 70 percent of the total contract was for the purchase of steel which presented no opportunity
for M/WBE participation.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds will be available in
the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the ITS Improvements Fund.
