DISCUSS11ON: On May 03, 2024 Water Field Operations crews discovered a segment of a 33-inch Sanitary Sewer Main near 5301 E Belknap Street, Haltom City to be severely exposed as result of creek bank erosion from recent rains. No sewer discharge was encountered at this time. Bypass pumping was immediately mobilized to implement pumping around the exposed section in the event additional rainfall caused the pipe to collapse. Overnight storms delayed the completion of this work. However, on May 05, 2024 the exposed pipe was found to be leaking along with three other close by segments of the sewer main. Due to the expected collapse of this sewer main, it is necessary to reroute the sewer main from the creek bank as soon as possible. Pursuant to the emergency authority found in Chapter 2, Article 1, Section 2-9 of the City's Code of Ordinances, the Water Department initiated emergency procurement of the following contractor and consultant for the services and costs as indicated below to perform emergency replacement to reroute the sanitary sewer,main from the creek. Water Field Operations Crews are not able to conduct replacement work of this magnitude. • William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circle C Construction Company (Circle C) - Emergency water main replacement: $1,500,000.00 (City Secretary Contract (CSC) No. 61591) • Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) - Engineering Design $61,580.00) (CSC No. 61592) The contracts and work will be billed on a task order basis. The total of the contracts is estimated to be $1,561,580.00. The Water Department will coordinate with Haltom City since this City of Fort Worth sanitary sewer main is located within Haltom City limits. Waiting to bid and award a contract to perform this work is not the best interest of health and safety of the City of Fort Worth. In addition to the citations, above, Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements expenditures that are necessary to preserve or protect public health and safety of the municipality's residents and procurements necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, or property. Mayor and Council Communications (M&C) will be circulated to ratify the above contracts after the work has been performed. The purpose of this M&C is to secure funding to compensate Circle C and FNI for work performed and to speed up the replacement project. This 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 of this 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: 60EMERSS331NM292REPAIR-CIRCLEC-FNI Capital Fund Project FY2024 CIP Authority Budget Change Revised FY2024 Name Name Appropriations (IncreaselDecrease) Budget 105650- W&S Capital EMER Projects- Fund SS $0.00 This M&C $1,561,580.00 $1,561,580.00 56002 Rpr Belknap Funding is budgeted in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account within the Water & Sewer Fund for the purpose of funding the Emer SS M292 Rpr Belknap Rtly project within the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund.
