Schultz, Inc. dba Circle C Construction Company in the Amount of $366,775.25 for Emergency 42-Inch Water Main Repair East of Fournier Street at Holly Water Treatment Plant 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. Ratify the emergency contract with William J. Schultz, Inc. dba Circle C Construction Company (City Secretary Contract No. 63608) in the final amount of $366,775.25 for 42-Inch Water Main Repair East of Fournier Street at Holly Water Treatment Plant; and 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $366,775.25, transferred from available Paygo Funds within the Water & Sewer Capital Fund, for the purpose of funding the Emergency 42-inch Water Main Repair at North Holly project (City Project No. 106314) and to effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: On March 27, 2025, seeping water was found in the steep hillside east of Fournier Street at the Holly Water Treatment Plant. The source of the water was due to a leak that was discovered on the 42-inch water main coming out of the treatment plant and up the hillside. The leak was repaired to prevent pipe failure and the collapse of the hillside. Water Department Field Operation crews were not able to conduct repairs of this magnitude. Under the June 27, 2025 Emergency Authorization, the Water Department engaged William J. Schultz, Inc. d/b/a Circle C Construction Company to conduct the necessary work to replace the water main. The emergency work was estimated to be $400,000.00 (City Secretary Contract No. 63608). The total construction cost for this contract is $366,775.25, which is fair and reasonable for the work performed. Upon ratification of this contract, staff will close it 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 (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 Mayor & Council Communication (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 Transfer to Water/Sewer account of the Water & Sewer operating budget for the purpose of funding the Emergency 42- inch Water Main Repair East of Fournier Street at Holly Water Treatment Plant.
