DISCUSSION:
On February 27, 2024, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C 24-0172), the City Council authorized an engineering agreement in the amount
of $3,695,990.00 with CDM Smith Inc. (City Secretary Contract No. 61189) for the preliminary design of the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant
35 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) Expansion.
The agreement was subsequently revised by Amendment No. 1 with a net total amount of $0.00 administratively authorized on July 16, 2024, that
allowed for replacing the work task for unit process evaluation with the work task for Environmental Permitting and Texas Water Development
Board report document, Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $11,149,078.00 authorized by Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 24-0729 on
August 27, 2024, that authorized final design for the project, and Amendment No. 3 with a net total amount of $0.00 administratively authorized on
March 5, 2025, that provided for project cost substitution at no additional cost.
Amendment No. 4 provides for engineering support services during construction of the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant 35 MGD Expansion
to include site visits and inspections, monthly construction meetings, shop drawing review, response to requests for information, instrumentation
witness factory test and functional demonstration testing, start-up and operations, record drawings, operations and administrative maintenance
manuals, developing standard operating procedures, special inspections for piers, and disinfection studies.
CDM Smith Inc., proposes to provide the necessary services for a fee not to exceed $6,249,236.00. Staff considers the proposed fee to be fair
and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $123,743.00 is required for staff project management costs.
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 appropriate funds
in support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
