The amount of $5,407,718.88 remains appropriated for the projects construction and will be utilized to partially fund this contract. The project was advertised for bid on April 24, 2024 and May 2, 2024, in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On May 23, 2024, the following bids were received: II Contract Bidder ( Total Bid j u Time 400 William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circe C $14,438,269.50 Calendar Construction Company Days In addition to the contract cast, $613,172.50 is required for staff costs including project management material testing and inspection and $288,765.00 is provided for project contingency. This project will have no impact on the Water Departments operating budget when complete. 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 of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds. It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its C[P 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 Mayor & Council Communication will amend the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program as follows: 60SSM295M329U123-CIRCLEC Name Project Name FY2024 CIP Appropriations Authority Budget Change (Increase/Decrease) Revised FY2023 Budgot 102152 56023 - — CFA- W&S S.S.
