SUBJECT
(CD 9) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $38,500.00 for 30-Inch Water Main at the Lancaster Avenue/Collier Street Intersection
Emergency Repair to Effect a Portion of Water's Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water
and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $38,500.00, transferred from available PayGo funds within the Water and Sewer Fund, for the
purpose of funding the additional costs associated with the emergency repair and replacement of the 30- inch water main at the Lancaster
Avenue/Collier Street Intersection project (City Project No. 105063) and effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal Years 2024-2028
Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
On September 26, 2023, (Mayor and Council Communication) (M&C) 23-0827, the City Council authorized appropriations in the amount of
$1,060,000.00 for emergency repair and replacement of the 30-inch water main at the Lancaster Avenue/Collier Street intersection.
On Thursday, August 17, 2023, a water main break erupted at the Lancaster Avenue/Collier Street intersection. The break is exacerbated by its
proximity to the Holly Water Treatment Plant with water being pushed at over 100 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) leading to flooding in the
Lancaster/Henderson intersection and also onto private property near the intersection. The water main is a shallow 1930s-era 30-inch cast-iron
pipe which had deteriorated. The break was repaired the same day by William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circle C Construction Company (Circle C). On
Monday, August 22, 2023, the same water main broke apart again very near the vicinity of the earlier break. Water Field Operations immediately
mobilized to isolate the break and the City utilized the services of Circle C again to conduct the repairs.
With the original pipe having broken twice, via an emergency authorization memorandum of August 24, 2023 and pursuant to the emergency
authority found in City Code Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-9 of the City's Code of Ordinances, the Water Department initiated emergency
procurement of the following contractors and consultant for the services and costs as indicated below to perform emergency replacement of an
approximately 460%ot segment of the water main and an additional approximately 220-feet of appurtenant 6-inch pipe as shown on the attached
Mayor and Council Location map.
• William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circle C Construction Company (Emergency water main repair/replacement: $800,000.00) (City Secretary
Contract No. 60033)
• Texas Materials Group, Inc. dba Texas Bit (Pavement Repair: $200,000.00) (City Secretary Contract No. 60011)
• Freese and Nichols, Inc. (Engineering Design $60,000.00) (City Secretary Contract No. 59999)
The total of the contracts was estimated to be $1,060,000.00. Due to actual field conditions that were encountered during construction, additional
quantities of pavement repair will increase Circle C's construction costs by $38,500.00 for an estimated revised contract amount of $838,500.00.
The purpose of this M&C is to secure funding for a change order to compensate Circle C, for the additional expense incurred on the project.
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, as follows:
