SUBJECT
(CD 7) Authorize Execution of a Tariff for Retail Delivery Service Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC in the Amount of
$854,596.45 for Installation of Electric Service and Transformers to New Electrical Building at the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant, Adopt
Resolution Expressing Official Intent to Reimburse Expenditures with Proceeds of Future Debt, and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance to Effect a
Portion of Water's Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize execution of a Tariff for Retail Delivery Service Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC in the amount of
$854,596.45 for installation of electric service and transformers to new electrical building at the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant;
Adopt the attached resolution expressing official intent to reimburse expenditures with proceeds from future debt for the Eagle Mountain
Water Treatment Plant 35 Million Gallons Per Day Expansion project; and
Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the Water and Sewer Commercial Paper Fund by increasing
appropriations in Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant 35 Million Gallons Per Day Expansion project (City Project No. 105176) in the
amount of $854,597.00 and decreasing appropriations in the Water & Sewer 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:
As part of this agreement, ONCOR Electric Delivery Company LLC (ONCOR), will extend feeders and install transformers and metering
equipment to supply power to the new facilities included in the EMWTP expansion project. Construction of the expansion project was previously
authorized by City Council on June 6, 2025 (M&C 25-0516). ONCOR has calculated costs in the amount of $854,596.45 for the installation of the
electrical infrastructure needed to provide power for the plant expansion.
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 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.
Funding is budgeted in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the purpose of funding the Eagle Mountain
Water Treatment Plant 35MGD Expansion.
