SUBJECT
(CD 9) Ratify Emergency Contracts with William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circle C Construction Company and Freese and Nichols, Inc. in the Final
Amounts of $836,247.05 and $46,585.00, Respectively, for Emergency Water and Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement Work on the 30-inch
Emergency Water Main Repair at the Lancaster Avenue/Collier Street Intersection and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance 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:
1. Ratify City Secretary Contract No. 60033, an emergency agreement with William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circle C Construction Company in the
amount of $836,247.05 and City Secretary Contract No. 59999, an emergency agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc, in the amount of
$46,585.00, both for the 30-in. emergency water main repair at the Lancaster Avenue/Collier Street Intersection; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund
in the total amount of $882,833.00, transferred from available PayGo funds within the Water and Sewer Fund for the purpose of funding
the 30-in. Emergency Water Main Repair at the Lancaster Avenue/Collier Street Intersection project (City Project No. 105063) and to 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 WaterTreatment Plant with water being pushed at over 100 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) leading to flooding in the
Lancaster Ave./Henderson St. 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, under an emergency authorization memorandum of August 24, 2023, William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circle
C Construction Company (Circle C) was engaged for the replacement of the water main (City Secretary Contract No. 60033) with emergency
engineering/design performed by Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) under City Secretary Contract No. 59999. Contract 60033 was subsequently
revised by one change order that provided for increased and additional work scope. The total cost for both of these contracts was $882,832.05,
which is fair and reasonable for the work performed. Upon ratification of these contracts, staff will close them out.
Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements that are necessary to preserve or protect public health
or safety of the municipality's residents and procurements that are necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment or
property.
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. 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:
