LOG NAME: 60RATIFYM-439 EMERREPAIR-JACKSON
SUBJECT
(CD 9) Ratify Emergency Contract with Jackson Construction, LTD in the Amount of $325,856.28 for the Emergency Sanitary Sewer M-439
Repair Project and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance to Effect a Portions 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 Jackson Construction, LTD (City Secretary No. 63207) in the final amount of $325,856.28 for a 54-Inch
Sanitary Sewer (M-439) Main Break Repair at Henderson Street and Clear Fork Trinity River; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund
in the amount of $325,856.28 transferred from available PayGo funds within the Water and Sewer Fund, for the purpose of funding the
Emergency Sanitary Sewer M-439 Repair project (City Project No. 106318) to effect a portion of Water's Contribution to Fiscal Years 2025-
2029 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The emergency work provided was for the repair of a 200 foot segment of 54-inch Sanitary Sewer Main M-439 near the Henderson Street/Clear
Fork Trinity River intersection which had completely disintegrated, resulting in a sink hole and necessitating immediate emergency action to
replace it to prevent sanitary sewer discharge into Park Department and Tarrant Regional Water District properties.
Under an emergency authorization memorandum of April 11, 2025, Jackson Construction, LTD was engaged for replacement of the disintegrated
pipe section in the amount up to $600,000.00 (City Secretary Contract No. 63207).
The total construction cost for this contract is $325,856.28, 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 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 and Council
Communication will appropriate funds in support of 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 and Sewer operating budget for the purpose of funding the Emergency
Sanitary Sewer M- 439 Repair project.
