DISCUSSION:
On February 16, 2021, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 21-0128 authorized an engineering agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc.,
(City Secretary Contract No. 55399) in the amount of $1,001,447.00 for the preparation of plans and specifications for the design of the 3rd Barrel
Parallel Sanitary Sewer to the Twin 90-inch Sewers Serving the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bank Protection at the Village Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Pipeline Erosion Analysis at Five Low Water Crossings project.
The agreement was subsequently revised by Amendment No. 1, in the amount of $94,871.00, administratively authorized October 8, 2021, that
provided for additional design efforts for the preparation of a necessary individual permit from the United States Army Corps of Engineers,

soil -supporting concrete encasement for the portion of the project sewer main that is adjacent to an existing pond, additional geotechnical
investigation, additional archeological survey and design for the replacement of an existing conflicting 10-inch sanitary sewer main.
Amendment No. 3, in the amount of $35,396.00, administratively authorized October 6, 2022, that provided for design and environmental services
for an additional 1,300 feet of sewer main in the Mary's Creek Basin.
Amendment No. 4, in the amount of $64,597.00, administratively authorized August 23, 2023, that provided for additional coordination with the

Amendment No. 5, in the amount of $796,720.00, authorized December 10, 2024 (M&C 24-1126) that provided for the preparation of plans and

Construction of the project was advertised for bid on August 15, 2024 and August 22, 2024 in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On October 31, 2024
the following bid was received:
11 Bidder I Amount I Contract Time 11
Solid Bridge Construction, LLC 11 $9,496,778.001 365 Calendar Days
In addition to the contract cost, $412,831.00 is required for project management, material testing and inspection and $284,903.00 is provided for
project contingency.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department operating budget when completed.
Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under 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 Capital Improvement Program (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 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
