Water Department in the Amount Up to $712,673.00 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance to Effect a Portion of Water's Contribution to Fiscal
Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize execution of a sole source agreement with Environmental Improvements, Inc. to purchase three Huber Strain Press Units for the
Water Department in the amount up to $712,673.00 for the Huber Strain purchase project (City Project No. 105978); and
2. Adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects
Fund in the amount of $1,200,000.00 transferred from available PayGo funds within the Water and Sewer Fund, for the purpose of funding
Huber Strain Purchase project (City Project No. 105978) to Effect a portion of Water's Contribution to Fiscal Years 2025 2029 Capital
Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department intends to purchase three Huber Strain Press Units for installation at the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment. This
equipment will be used to remove trash, fibers, and girt from primary sludge, resulting in improved plant and digester operations and less reactive
maintenance related to debris accumulation and unclogging other equipment.
Environmental Improvements, Inc. is the sole source distributor in Texas of HUBER products, parts and services.
In addition to the contract amount of $487,327.00 is necessary for staff to install the equipment prior to the vendor overseeing their placement in
service. This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when completed.
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 Watefs portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program, as follows:
