STATUS OF RECOVERY FROM THE MAY 5, 1995 HAILSTORM
The hailstorm of May 5, 1995 was perhaps the most severe known in the history of Fort
Worth. Since the storm, significant effort has been undertaken to make emergency and
permanent repair to City assets incurring losses. This report describes hail storm damage
incurred by the City, both its insured and uninsured losses, and the status of recovery to
Insurance coverage on City structures at the time of the storm was provided under a fire
and extended coverage insurance policy issued by the Hartford Fire Insurance Company.
Due to the policy provision of replacement cost basis of recovery, the City should
recover the full amount of insured loss after meeting a single deductible of$100,000.
At the time of the storm, 584 separate City structures valued at $503,964,528 were
insured on the policy's property schedule and 259 ( 45%) of that total number, sustained
some degree of hail damage, currently estimated to be $10,647,709. As work continues
on remaining hail damage projects, it is probable that this amount will increase due to
frequent discovery of unforeseen or "hidden" damage which is typically not discovered
until a roofing project is underway.
Attachment I lists facilities and dwnage sustained representing approximately $8.2
million of the total amount of building damage. Repairs to the most severely damaged
structures, necessitating immediate attention on an emergency basis, are nearly
Attachment 2 lists financial recovery to date plus pending receipts from insurers of all
applicable insurance policies covering: structures, fine arts, fixed base communications
equipment, and a small number of special vehicles.
The Hartford Fire Insurance Company contracted Unified Building Sciences (UBS) for
professional expertise in adjusting hailstorm damage to commercial property roofs. Both
the Hartford's property claim adjuster and UBS representatives have worked with City
departments affected by the storm, primarily, TransportationfPublic Works and Risk
Management to determine payments due to the City for its insured loss.
Competitive bidding was waived on projects totaling $6,600,000 which were undertaken
on an emergency basis. City Council has ratified $6,505,232 of these projects to date.
Non-emergency roof repair projects totaling $826,000 have also been contracted through
the competitive bidding process.

Additional contracts on 145 facilities will be let through competitive bidding over the
next year. The insurer estimates their cost to be $1,820,000. Actual cost of repairs will
be determined as the projects are executed.
The General Services Division of the Transportation and Public Works Department will
perform repairs to forty-nine (49) specific structures for which the Hartford has agreed to
pay approximately $777,000. These roofing repairs are projected to be completed by the
end of FY 1997-98, in accordance with the Division's long range roof maintenance
program. Staff has determined that performing these repairs over the course of many
months will not jeopardize the structures' integrity.
Uninsured losses have cost the City approximately $1.5 million for departmental labor,
materials/equipment/supplies, and vehicle damage. Attachment 3 provides a breakdown,
by department, in these three areas.
With few minor exceptions, departments report they have recovered from the hail storm
of May 5, 1995. Remaining are the referenced roofing repairs which General Services
will carry out and the hail damaged vehicles, many of which will remain in operation,
unrepaired, for a some years.
If you desire additional information or have any questions, please let me know.
