RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize execution of Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $999,826.00 to City Secretary Contract No. 56537 an Engineering Agreement
with Gupta and Associates, Inc. for the Village Creek Phase III Electric Switchgear Improvements Project for a revised contract amount of

Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the W&S Rev Bonds Series 2025 Fund by increasing appropriations
in the Village Creek Phase III Electric Switchgear Improvements project (City Project No. 103323) amount of $1,221,096.00 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:
On September 28, 2021, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C 21-0768) authorized execution of an Engineering Agreement with Gupta and
Associates, Inc., in the amount of $1,198,900.00 (City Secretary Contract No. 56537), for the Design of the Phase III Electrical Improvements at the
Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility (VCWRF). The agreement was subsequently revised by Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $40,240.00
administratively authorized November 2, 2022, that provided design for demolition of the existing maintenance building adjacent to Return sludge
pump station No. 5 and sulfur dioxide area modification.
Amendment No. 2 will provide for the design of additional electrical improvements including thirty percent design to replace the main switchgear at
the plant and the street feeder system, and final design to add backup generator power for immediate start of the turbine from shut down and
replacement of the motor control center for the Odor Control System in the primary clarifier area. The work will also include a phasing plan for the
proposed improvements.
Gupta and Associates, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary work for a fee in the amount of $999,826.00. In addition to the contract amount,
$221,270.00 is required for project management and material testing.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when complete.
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 amend the City of
Fort Worth's Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program as follows:
