The purpose of this Mayor & Council Communication is to adopt an appropriation ordinance to fund two construction reimbursement

The Central City Flood Control Project is being constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in order to reduce the risk of flooding to over
2,400 acres of homes and businesses near downtown Fort Worth. In order to prepare for the construction of the future bypass channel integral to
the Central City Flood Control Project, all City infrastructure and franchise utilities must be removed from the channel construction area. Spectrum
Gulf Coast, LLC owns and maintains a variety of coaxial and fiber optic communication cables within the Fort Worth Central City Flood Control
Project channel area.

The maximum amount allowed for these agreements will be up to $125,000.00 and includes a contingency of $18,856.21 (17.7%); however, the
