(CD 7) Authorize Execution of a Contract with Acadia Services, LLC in the Amount of $10,969,853.00 for
Construction of the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main, Part 1, Authorize Execution of
Amendment No. 2, in the Amount of $502,488.00, to an Engineering Agreement with Kimley-Horn and

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:
1. Authorize execution of a contract with Acadia Services, LLC in the amount of $10,969,853.00 for
construction of the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main, Part 1 project;
2. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 2 to City Secretary Contract No. 59809, an Engineering
Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in the amount of $502,488.00, for construction
support services for the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main project for a revised
contract amount of $2,467,088.00;
3. Adopt the attached Resolution expressing official intent to reimburse expenditures with proceeds
from future debt for the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main project; and
4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the Water & Sewer
Commercial Paper Fund by increasing appropriations in the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force Main
and Gravity Main (City Project No. 104489) in the amount of $12,107,026.00 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:
On June 27, 2023, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 23-0529, the City Council authorized an
engineering agreement in the amount of $1,659,200.00 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., (City
Secretary Contract No. 59809) for the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Main project. The
agreement was subsequently revised by Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $ 305,400.00, authorized
December 10, 2024 (M&C 24-1135) that primarily provided design for two inverted siphons that are
necessary on the project and design for a 16-inch water main that will connect a developer proposed
water main on the north end of the water main to an existing City-owned 16-inch water main near the
Silver Creek/Heron Drive intersection and the preparation of a bid package to separate the original project
into two parts for construction.
Amendment No. 2 provides for construction management, resident project representative, and
construction support services including shop drawings, submittal reviews, change order review, and record
drawings.
Construction of the Silver Creek Lift Station project was advertised for bid on June 4, 2025, and June 11,
2025, in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. On July 10, 2025, the following bids were received:
Bidder Amount Contract Time
Acadia Services, LLC $10,969,853.00 550 Calendar
Days
Fort Worth Civil Constructors,
LLC $11,043,182.00
City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
In addition to the contract cost, $360,439.00 is required for project management, material testing and
inspection and $274,246.00 is provided for project contingency.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when completed.
Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City’s portfolio along with the appropriation
authority authorized under 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.
Funding is budgeted in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the
purpose of funding of the Silver Creek LS/FM/GM project.
Funding for the Silver Creek Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main are depicted below:

*Numbers rounded for presentation purposes.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S
Commercial Paper Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the Silver Creek
LS/FM/GM project to support the above recommendations and execution of the contract and amendment.
Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the
availability of funds.

connection speed. The Bonfire portal can be accessed using Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or
Mozilla Firefox. Javascript must be enabled. Browser cookies must be enabled.
Electronic submission is subject to electronic interface latency, which can result in transmission
delays. All bidders or proposers assume the risk of late transmission/ submission. The City shall
not be held liable if an interested bidder or proposer is unable to submit a complete bid/response
before the published deadline due to transmission delays or any other technical issues or
obstructions. The City strongly recommends allowing sufficient time to complete the submission
process (ideally a week before the deadline) to begin the uploading process and to finalize your

requirements of the procurement specifications cannot be ascertained, such submission will be
rejected without liability to the City, unless such bidder provides clear and convincing evidence
(a) of the content of the submission as originally submitted and (b) that the unreadable condition
of the Electronic Bid was caused solely by error or malfunction of the Bonfire Platform
(Procurement Portal). Failure to scan a clear or readable copy of a bid into the system does not
constitute and shall not be considered an error or malfunction of the Bonfire Platform
(Procurement Portal). Bidders are encouraged to fully review each page of every document within

SECTION 00 43 37
VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW NON RESIDENT BIDDER
Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This
law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-state
contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside the State of Texas) bid
projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest
Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a
nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the State which the nonresidenYs principal
place of business is located.
The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet
specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident
bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident bidders in the State of State Here or Blank, our principal place of business,
are required to be % Here percent lower than resident bidders by State Law. A copy of the
statute is attached.
Nonresident bidders in the State ofState Here or Blank, our principal place of business,
are not required to underbid resident bidders.
B. The principal place of business of our company or our parent company or majority owner is
in the State of Texas. �

2. Division 1 – General Requirements 14
D. Purpose 15
The City of Fort Worth (City) is committed to delivering quality, cost-effective 16
infrastructure to its citizens in a timely manner. A key tool to achieve this purpose is a 17
properly structured schedule with accurate updates. This supports effective monitoring 18
of progress and is input to critical decision making by the project manager throughout 19
the lift of the project. Data from the updated project schedule is utilized in status 20
reporting to various levels of the City organization and the citizenry. 21
22
This Document complements the City’s Standard Agreement to guide the construction 23
contractor (Contractor) in preparing and submitting acceptable schedules for use by the 24
City in project delivery. The expectation is the performance of the work follows the 25
accepted schedule and adhere to the contractual timeline. 26
27
The Contractor will designate a qualified representative (Project Scheduler) responsible 28
for developing and updating the schedule and preparing status reporting as required by 29
the City. 30

STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS CITY PROJECT NO. 104489-3
Revised August 13, 2021
1.3 REFERENCES 1
A. Project Schedules 2
Each project is represented by City’s master project schedule that encompasses the 3
entire scope of activities envisioned by the City to properly deliver the work. When the 4
City contracts with a Contractor to perform construction of the Work, the Contractor 5
will develop and maintain a schedule for their scope of work in alignment with the 6
City’s standard schedule requirements as defined herein. The data and information of 7
each such schedule will be leveraged and become integral in the master project 8
schedule as deemed appropriate by the City’s Project Control Specialist and approved 9
by the City’s Project Manager. 10
11
1. Master Project Schedule 12
The master project schedule is a holistic representation of the scheduled activities 13
and milestones for the total project and be Critical Path Method (CPM) based. The 14
City’s Project Manager is accountable for oversight of the development and 15
maintaining a master project schedule for each project. When the City contracts for 16
the design and/or construction of the project, the master project schedule will 17
incorporate elements of the Design and Construction schedules as deemed 18
appropriate by the City’s Project Control Specialist. The assigned City Project 19
Control Specialist creates and maintains the master project schedule in P6 (City’s 20
scheduling software). 21
22
2. Construction Schedule 23
The Contractor is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule for the 24
scope of the Contractor’s contractual requirements. The Contractor will issue an 25
initial schedule for review and acceptance by the City’s Project Control Specialist 26
and the City’s Project Manager as a baseline schedule for Contractor’s scope of 27
work. Contractor will issue current, accurate updates of their schedule (Progress 28
Schedule) to the City at the end of each month throughout the life of their work. 29
B. Schedule Tiers 30
The City has a portfolio of projects that vary widely in size, complexity and content 31
requiring different scheduling to effectively deliver each project. The City uses a 32
“tiered” approach to align the proper schedule with the criteria for each project. The 33
City's Project Manager determines the appropriate schedule tier for each project, and 34
includes that designation and the associated requirements in the Contractor’s scope of 35
work. The following is a summary of the “tiers”. 36
37
1. Tier 1: Small Size and Short Duration Project (design not required) 38
The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. No 39
schedule submittal is required from Contractor. City’s Project Control Specialist 40
acquires any necessary schedule status data or information through discussions with 41
the respective party on an as-needed basis. 42
43
2. Tier 2: Small Size and Short to Medium Duration Project 44

The Contractor issues to the City, updates to the “start” and “finish” dates for such 4
milestones at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. 5
6
3. Tier 3: Medium and Large Size and/or Complex Projects Regardless of Duration 7
4. The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The 8
Contractor develops a Baseline Schedule and maintains the schedule of their 9
respective scope of work on the project at a level of detail (generally Level 3) and 10
in alignment with the WBS structure in Section 1.4.H as agreed by the Project 11
Manager. The Contractor issues to the City, updates of their respective schedule 12
(Progress Schedule) at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on 13
the project. 14
C. Schedule Types 15
Project delivery for the City utilizes two types of schedules as noted below. The City 16
develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule as a “baseline” schedule and issue 17
monthly updates to the City Project Manager (end of each month) as a “progress” 18
schedule. The Contractor prepares and submits each schedule type to fulfill their 19
contractual requirements. 20
21
1. Baseline Schedule 22
The Contractor develops and submits to the City, an initial schedule for their scope 23
of work in alignment with this specification. Once reviewed and accepted by the 24
City, it becomes the “Baseline” schedule and is the basis against which all progress 25
is measured. The baseline schedule will be updated when there is a change or 26
addition to the scope of work impacting the duration of the work, and only after 27
receipt of a duly authorized change order issued by the City. In the event progress 28
is significantly behind schedule, the City’s Project Manager may authorize an 29
update to the baseline schedule to facilitate a more practical evaluation of progress. 30
An example of a Baseline Schedule is provided in Specification 01 32 16.1 31
Construction Project Schedule Baseline Example. 32
33
2. Progress Schedule 34
The Contractor updates their schedule at the end of each month to represent the 35
progress achieved in the work which includes any impact from authorized changes 36
in the work. The updated schedule must accurately reflect the current status of the 37
work at that point in time and is referred to as the “Progress Schedule”. The City’s 38
Project Manager and Project Control Specialist reviews and accepts each progress 39
schedule. In the event a progress schedule is deemed not acceptable, the 40
unacceptable issues are identified by the City within 5 working days and the 41
Contractor must provide an acceptable progress schedule within 5 working days 42
after receipt of non-acceptance notification. An example of a Progress Schedule is 43
provided in Specification 01 32 16.2 Construction Project Schedule Progress 44
Example. 45
D. City Standard Schedule Requirements 46
The following is an overview of the methodology for developing and maintaining a 47
schedule for delivery of a project. 48

1. Schedule Framework - The schedule will be based on the defined scope of work 1
and follow the (Critical Path Methodology) CPM method. The Contractor’s 2
schedule will align with the requirements of this specification and will be cost 3
loaded to reflect their plan for execution. Compliance with cost loading can be 4
provided with traditional cost loading of line items OR a projected cost per 5
month for the project when the initial schedule is submitted, updated on a 6
quarterly basis is significant change is anticipated. Overall schedule duration 7
will align with the contractual requirements for the respective scope of work and be 8
reflected in City’s Master Project Schedule. The Project Number and Name of the 9
Project is required on each schedule and must match the City’s project data. 10
11
E. Schedule File Name 12
All schedules submitted to the City for a project will have a file name that begins with 13
the City’s project number followed by the name of the project followed by baseline (if 14
a baseline schedule) or the year and month (if a progress schedule), as shown below. 15

CITY OF FORT WORTH SILVER CREEK LIFT STATION
STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS CITY PROJECT NO. 104489-3
Revised August 13, 2021
The City’s standard calendar for schedule development purposes is based on a 5-day 1
workweek and accounts for the City’s eight standard holidays (New Years, Martin 2
Luther King, Memorial, Juneteenth, Independence, Labor, Thanksgiving, day after 3
Thanksgiving, Christmas). The Contractor will establish a schedule calendar as part of 4
the schedule development process and provide to the Project Control Specialist as part 5
of the basis for their schedule. Variations between the City’s calendar and the 6
Contractor’s calendar must be resolved prior to the City’s acceptance of their Baseline 7
project schedule. 8
9
H. WBS & Milestone Standards for Schedule Development 10
The scope of work to be accomplished by the Contractor is represented in the schedule 11
in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is the basis for the 12
development of the schedule activities and shall be imbedded and depicted in the 13
schedule. 14
15
The following is a summary of the standards to be followed in preparing and 16
maintaining a schedule for project delivery. 17
18
1. Contractor is required to utilize the City’s WBS structure and respective 19
project type template for “Construction” as shown in Section 1.4.H below. 20
Additional activities may be added to Levels 1 - 4 to accommodate the needs 21
of the organization executing the work. Specifically the Contractor will add 22
activities under WBS XXXXXX.80.83 “Construction Execution” that 23
delineates the activities associated with the various components of the work. 24
25
2. Contractor is required to adhere to the City’s Standard Milestones as shown in 26
Section 1.4.I below. Contractor will include additional milestones 27
representing intermediate deliverables as required to accurately reflect their 28
scope of work. 29
30
I. Schedule Activities 31
Activities are the discrete elements of work that make up the schedule. They will be 32
organized under the umbrella of the WBS. Activity descriptions should adequately 33
describe the activity, and in some cases the extent of the activity. All activities are 34
logically tied with a predecessor and a successor. The only exception to this rule is for 35
“project start” and “project finish” milestones. 36
37
The activity duration is based on the physical amount of work to be performed for the 38
stated activity, with a maximum duration of 20 working days OR a continuous activity 39
in one location. If the work for any one activity exceeds 20 days, break that activity 40
down incrementally to achieve this duration constraint. Any exception to this requires 41
review and acceptance by the City’s Project Control Specialist. 42
43
J. Change Orders 44
When a Change Order is issued by the City, the impact is incorporated into the 45
previously accepted baseline schedule as an update, to clearly show impact to the 46
project timeline. The Contractor submits this updated baseline schedule to the City for 47
48

review and acceptance as described in Section 1.5 below. Updated baseline schedules 1
adhere to the following: 2
3
1. Time extensions associated with approved contract modifications are limited to the 4
actual amount of time the project activities are anticipated to be delayed, unless 5
otherwise approved by the Program Manager. 6
7
2. The re-baselined schedule is submitted by the Contractor within ten workdays after 8
the date of receipt of the approved Change Order. 9
10
3. The changes in logic or durations approved by the City are used to analyze the 11
impact of the change and is included in the Change Order. The coding for a new 12
activity(s) added to the schedule for the Change Order includes the Change Order 13
number in the Activity ID. Use as many activities as needed to accurately show the 14
work of the Change Order. Revisions to the baseline schedule are not effective 15
until accepted by the City. 16

These procedures are intended to provide a standard method for construction staking services
associated with the City of Fort Worth projects. These are not to be considered all inclusive, but only as
a general guideline. For projects on TXDOT right-of-way or through joint TXDOT participation,
adherence to the TXDOT Survey Manual shall be followed and if a discrepancy arises, the TXDOT
manual shall prevail. (http://onlinemanuals.txdot.gov/txdotmanuals/ess/ess.pdf)

IV. Survey Equipment, Control, and Datum Standards
A. City Benchmarks
All city benchmarks can be found here: http://fortworthtexas.gov/itsolutions/GIS/
Look for ‘Zoning Maps’. Under ‘Layers’ , expand ‘Basemap Layers’, and check on
‘Benchmarks’.
B. Conventional or Robotic Total Station Equipment
I. A minimum of a 10 arc-second instrument is required.
II. A copy of the latest calibration report may be requested by the City at any time.
It is recommended that an instrument be calibrated by certified technician at
least 1 occurrence every 6 months.
C. Network/V.R.S. and static GPS Equipment
I. It is critical that the surveyor verify the correct horizontal and vertical datum
prior commencing work. A site calibration may be required and shall consist of
at least 4 control points spaced evenly apart and in varying quadrants.
Additional field checks of the horizontal and vertical accuracies shall be
completed and the City may ask for a copy of the calibration report at any time.
II. Network GPS such as the Western Data Systems or SmartNet systems may be
used for staking of property/R.O.W, forced-main water lines, and rough-grade
only. No GPS staking for concrete, sanitary sewer, storm drain, final grade, or
anything that needs vertical grading with a tolerance of 0.25’ or less is
allowed.
D. Control Points Set
I. All control points set shall be accompanied by a lath with the appropriate
Northing, Easting, and Elevation (if applicable) of the point set. Control points
can be set rebar, ‘X’ in concrete, or any other appropriate item with a stable
base and of a semi-permanent nature. A rebar cap is optional, but preferred if
the cap is marked ‘control point’ or similar wording.
II. Datasheets are required for all control points set.
Datasheet should include:
A. Horizontal and Vertical Datum used, Example: N.A.D.83, North Central Zone
4202, NAVD 88 Elevations
B. Grid or ground distance. – If ground, provide scale factor used and base
point coordinate, Example: C.S.F.=0.999125, Base point=North: 0, East=0
C. Geoid model used, Example: GEOID12A
Document1
Page 5 of 22
E. Preferred Grid Datum
Although many plan sets can be in surface coordinates, the City’s preferred grid datum
is listed below. Careful consideration must be taken to verify what datum each project is
in prior to beginning work. It is essential the surveyor be familiar with coordinate
transformations and how a grid/surface/assumed coordinate system affect a project.
Projected Coordinate
System: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Texas_North_Central_FIPS_4202_Feet
Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic

X. As-built Survey
A. Definition and Purpose
The purpose of an as-built survey is to verify the asset was installed in the proper location
and grade. Furthermore, the information gathered will be used to supplement the City’s GIS
data and must be in the proper format when submitted. See section IV.
As-built survey should include the following (additional items may be requested):
Manholes
Top of pipe elevations every 250 feet
Horizontal and vertical points of inflection, curvature, etc. (All Fittings)
Cathodic protection test stations
Sampling stations
Meter boxes/vaults (All sizes)
Fire lines
Fire hydrants
Gate valves (rim and top of nut)
Plugs, stub-outs, dead-end lines
Air Release valves (Manhole rim and vent pipe)
Blow off valves (Manhole rim and valve lid)
Pressure plane valves
Cleaning wyes
Clean outs
Casing pipe (each end)
Inverts of pipes
Turbo Meters

B. Example Deliverable
A hand written red line by the field surveyor is acceptable in most cases. This should be
a copy of the plans with the point number noted by each asset. If the asset is missing,
then the surveyor should write “NOT FOUND” to notify the City.

Obviously the .csv or .txt file cannot be signed/sealed by a surveyor in the format
requested. This is just an example and all this information should be noted when
delivered to the City so it is clear to what coordinate system the data is in.

A. Scope: This outline describes field adhesion tests of elastomeric sealants to 1
determine the adhesive and cohesive characteristics of an installed sealant by 2
placing a strain on the sealant. The results of these tests can be used in conjunction 3
with other information to determine the overall performance of the sealant. 4
B. Procedures 5
1. Locate test joints where indicated or, if not indicated, as directed by 6
Architect, or Sealant Manufacturer. 7
2. Conduct field tests for each application indicated for each type of 8
elastomeric sealant and joint substrate provided. 9
3. Notify Architect or Engineer seven days in advance of dates when tests 10
will be conducted. 11
4. Arrange for all tests to be conducted by an authorized, qualified sealant 12
manufacturer’s representative or independent third-party testing company 13
approved by manufacture. 14
5. Test joint sealants by hand-pull method described in accordance with 15
ASTM C1521 - 13 Standard Practice for Evaluating Adhesion of Installed 16
Weatherproofing Sealant Joints and as recommended by manufacture 17
C. Test Frequency 18
1. Perform five tests for the first 1000 feet of joint length for each type of 19
elastomeric sealant and joint substrate. Perform one test for each 1000 feet 20
of joint length thereafter. Perform three additional tests for each failed test. 21
2. Inspect joints for complete fill, for absence of voids, for primer if required, 22
for proper width/depth ratio and back up complying with specified 23
requirements. Record results in an organized chart published by sealant 24
manufacture. 25
3. Repair sealants pulled in test area by applying new sealants following 26
same procedures used to originally seal joints. Contractor shall test and 27
