Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 02/25/25 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 25-0155
LOG NAME: 60MCCLSANDWCLS-CDM
SUBJECT
(CD 3 and City of Benbrook) Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with CDM Smith, Inc. in the Amount of $3,745,826.00 for the
Mary's Creek Confluence Lift Station and Walnut Creek Lift Station Design Project, Adopt Resolution Expressing Official Intent to Reimburse
Expenditures from Proceeds of Future Debt Project 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 an engineering agreement with CDM Smith, Inc. in the amount of $3,745,826.00 for the Mary's Creek Confluence Lift
Station and Walnut Creek Lift Station Design project;
2. Adopt the attached resolution expressing Official Intent to Reimburse expenditures with proceeds of future enterprise fund debt for the Mary's
Creek & Walnut Creek LS project; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the Water & Sewer Commercial Paper Fund by increasing
appropriations in the Mary's Creek & Walnut Creek Lift Station Design project (City Project No.104944) in the amount of $4,717,426.00 and
decreasing appropriations in the Commercial Paper project (City Project No. UCMLPR) by the same amount, to effect a portion of Water's
contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize a contract with CDM Smith, Inc. in the amount of $3,745,826.00 for the preparation
of plans and specifications for Walnut Creek and Mary's Creek Confluence Lift Stations to allow conveyance of wastewater to the proposed Mary's
Creek Water Reclamation Facility on the westside of Fort Worth.
In addition to the contract amount, $971,600.00 is required for project management, real property acquisitions, utility coordination, and material
testing. This project will have no impact on the Water Departments operating budget when completed.
Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the 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 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, as follows:
