Amend the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of engineering agreements and appropriate funds necessary to start the Development Services Department's Small -Scale Infrastructure Program (Program). The Program is being created to provide engineering design and construction services for the installation of small-scale or infill developer -led projects, including 800 feet or fewer of water, sewer, storm services, sidewalk and four (4) or fewer pedestrianlstreetiight installations. The engineering and construction cost will be funded entirely by Developers. The Development Services Department conducted a Request for Qualifications to establish a standing list of qualified engineering firms which the Development Services Department will use to provide engineering services for projects in the Small -Scale Infrastructure Program. The Request for Qualifications was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on September 21, 2022 and September 28, 2022. The City received fourteen (14) responses. An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Development Services Department reviewed and scored the submittals based on the following criteria: (a) project understanding (30%); (b) project team and experience (45%); (c) related local projects (15%); and (d) readiness to proceed (10%). The scores are listed in the table below. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be requested.

To facilitate the administration of the Small -Scale Infrastructure Program, the attached appropriation ordinance is necessary. The ordinance appropriates the full projected annual amount of up to $14,700,000.00 in the General Capital Projects Fund, subject to receipt of funds, for the purpose of funding the Small -Scale Infrastructure Program programmable project (City Project No. P00151). Having a full year's appropriation authority will support awarding the current design and engineering contracts as well as annual contracts for related construction services, which are currently out for bid. The appropriation is subject to receipt of funds from developers, which will prevent over spending with movement of spending authority to a child project contingent on the actual receipt or availability of funds, ensuring that it is tied to the funds received for each project. The authority granted by the attached ordinance is subject to certain restrictions. Specifically, the total amount of all transfers cannot exceed the annual appropriation for the programmable project, and each transfer is contingent upon the receipt of funds from the developer. Given the mid -year start of the program, it's projected that the actual receipts and appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024 will be in the neighborhood of $7,375,000.00. Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) because funding for the program had not been determined at the time of its development. The actions in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 26453-09-2023.

FUNDING: The maximum combined annual amount allowed under these engineering and design agreements will be $2,000,000.00; however, the actual amount used will be based on the needs of the department and the available budget. DVIN BE: Small Scale Infrastructure Program received a waiver for the Program as there will not be any fiscal City Participation, it does not meet Ordinance, Section 20-368 requirements. AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval, the agreements shall begin upon execution and expire one year from that date. RENEWAL TERMS: The agreements may be renewed for four additional one-year terms. 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. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager 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. Staff intends to go out to bid for the construction contractors in April 2024 and an M&C for the selection of the contractors June 2024. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be deposited into the General Capital Projects Fund as appropriated for the Small -Scale Infrastructure Program programmable project. The Development Services Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to any expense being incurred, the Development Services Department also has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
