The project was advertised for bid on December 28, 2023 and January 4, 2024 in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On February 1, 2024 the
following bids were received:
Bidders Amount
Jackson Construction, LTD $12,099,342.00
McClendon Construction 1 $13,221,561.50
The Transportation & Public Works Department's share on this contract is $7,117,637.00. The paving funds for this project are included in the
2022 Bond Program. The Water Department's share on this contract is $4,981,705.00 (Water) and will be available in the W&S Commercial
Paper Fund for the project (City Project No. 103280).
In addition to the contract amount, $1,138,220.00 (Water: $269,386.00, TPW: $868,834.00) is required for project management, material testing,
and inspection and $362,980.00 (Water: $149,451.00, TPW: $213,529.00) is provided for project contingencies.
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 the 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 (FY), 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.
Funding is budgeted in the W&S Commercial Paper project within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund and the 2022 Bond Program Fund for the
purpose of funding the Trinity Boulevard, Phase 2 project.
Construction of Trinity Boulevard Phase 2 from Salado Trail to Thames Trail is anticipated to begin in early Fall2024.
This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022)
provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to make any interim progress payments until debt is issued. Once
debt associated with a project is said, debt proceeds will reimbursethe interim financing source in accordance with the statement expressing
official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
Funding appropriated for this project by this M&C was not included in the FY2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) because construction
cost estimates were not complete at the time of CIP development. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2024-2028 Capital Improvement
Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 26453-09-2023.
DVIN-BE: Jackson Construction, LTD is in compliance with the City's Business Equity Ordinance by committing 5% MWBE participation and
documenting a good faith effort. Jackson Construction identified several subcontracting and supplier opportunities. However, the firms contacted
in the areas identified did not respond or did not submit the lowest bids. The City's MWBE goal on this project is 16%.
The Project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
