Ratify the emergency agreement with Jackson Construction, Ltd. — City Secretary Contract No. 62658, in the amount of $203,553.49 for emergency water main break pavement repair work performed for the January 2025 cold weather event; 2. Ratify the emergency agreement with Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC — City Secretary Contract No. 62641, in the amount of $196,675.64 for emergency water main break pavement repair work performed for the January 2025 cold weather event; and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund, in the amount of $400,229.13, from PayGo residuals, for the purpose of funding the Emergency January 2025 Winter Freeze Water Main Break and Paving Tejas project (City Project No. 106207) in the amount of $196,675.64 and the Emergency January 2025 Winter Freeze Water Main Break and Paving Jackson project (City Project No. 106208) in the amount of $203,553.49 and to effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: This Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) ratifies agreements for pavement repairs in areas where water main break repairs were necessary due to the January 2025 cold weather event. It was beyond the City's ability as well as those of on -call emergency contractors to handle the volume of pavement repairs required following the water main break repairs. Using emergency contracting procedures (per attached memorandum dated January 6, 2025), the Water Department engaged Jackson Construction, Ltd. (City Project No. 106208) and Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC (City Project No. 106207) each in the amount up to $1,500,000.00 to assist with the water main and pavement repairs. The total construction cost for these two contracts is $400,229.13, which is fair and reasonable for the work performed. Upon ratification of these contracts, staff will dose them out. Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements that are necessary to preserve or protect public health or safety of the municipality's residents and procurements that are necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment or property. 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 Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program, as follows: Capital Fund Name Project Name 106207- FY2025 CIP Appropriations Authority Revised Budget Change (increase/Decrease) Budget Budget _ W&S !..Capital EMER 'Projects — JAN' 5 WM WF $0.00 This M&C $196,675.64 $196,675.64 Fund Break & 56002 p-TE 106208 W&S Capital - EMER Projects — JA $0.00 This M&C $203,553.49 $203,553.49 Fund 56002 Break & PA-J _ Funding is available in the Unspecified All Funds project within the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of funding the Emergency January 2025 Winter Freeze Water Main Break and Paving Tejas project and the Emergency January 2025 Winter Freeze Water Main Break and Paving Jackson project. These projects are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified All -Funds project within the W&S Capital Projects Fund, and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the W&S Capital Projects Fund for the EMER JAN'25 WF WM Break & P-TE and EMER JAN'25 WF WM Break & PA-J projects to support the ratification of the contracts. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
