Authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 58276 in the amount of $116,345.00, an engineering agreement with BGE, Inc. for Richardson Slough Lift Station Modifications and 20-inch Sanitary Sewer Main project for a revised contract amount of $477,575,00; 2. Adopt the attached resolution expressing Official Intent to Reimburse expenditures with proceeds of future debt for Richardson Slough Lift Station Modifications and 20-inch Sanitary Sewer Main Project; and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the Water & Sewer Commercial Paper Fund by increasing appropriations in the Richardson Slough Lift Station Modifications and 20-inch Sanitary Sewer Main project (City Project No. 103514) in the amount of $191,345.00, and decreasing appropriations in the W&S Commercial Paper project (City Project No. UCMLPR) by the same amount, to effect a portion of Waters contribution to the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: On August 9, 2022, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C 22-0594) authorized an engineering agreement with BGE, Inc., (City Secretary Contract No. 58276), in the amount of $361,230.00 for the Richardson Slough Lift Station Modifications and 20-inch Sanitary Sewer Main project. Amendment No. 1 will provide the necessary design services for the installation of a 24-inch water main to connect proposed improvements along Old Granbury Road to future Bryant Irvin Road as shown on the attached location map. In addition to the contract cost, $75,000.00 is required for project management, real property and material testing. This project will have no impact on the Water Department operating budget when complete. 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. 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. The actions in the M&C will amend the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program as follows: 60RSLSANDSSFMA1 — BGE Capital BudgetRevised Fund Project FY2024 CIP Authority Change Name Name Appropriations (increase/ Budget B Budget Decrease) 103514 56022 — - R W&S Slough Commercial 20in $0.00 This M&C $191,345.00 $191,345.00 Paper Fund Force Main Funding for the R Slough 20in SS Force Main project is depicted below: Fund Existing Additional Project Appropriations Appropriations Total* W&S Commercial Paper Fund 56022 $0.00 $191,345.00 $191,345.00 Sewer Impact Fee Fund 57003 $556,310.00 _ $0.00 L— F,:310.00 Project I J $556,310.00[:: $191,345.00 $747,655.00 *Numbers rounded for presentation purposes.
