Sewer (M-244B) Main Break Repair Project 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 Jackson Construction, LTD (City Secretary No. 63315) in the final amount of $362,855.28 for 15-Inch
Sanitary Sewer (M-244B) Main Break Repair; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund
in the amount of $362,855.28, transferred from available PayGo funds within the Water and Sewer Fund, for the purpose of funding the
Emergency Sanitary Sewer Main 244B Repair project (City Project No. 106319) to effect a portion of Water's Contribution to Fiscal Years
2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to ratify the emergency contract with Jackson Construction, LTD (City Secretary
No. 63315) and appropriate funds in the final amount of $362,855.28 for 15-inch sanitary sewer (M-244B) main break repair.
The emergency work provided was for the repair of a disintegrated segment of Sanitary Sewer Main M-244B located south of E. Lancaster
Avenue near Fort Worth Council District 5/ City of Arlington Boundary and related to the Village Creek Crude Oil discharge and clean-up.
Under an emergency authorization memorandum of May 13, 2025, Jackson Construction, LTD was engaged for replacement of the disintegrated
pipe section in the amount up to $1,500,000.00 (City Secretary Contract No. 63315).
The total construction cost for this contract is $362,855.28, which is fair and reasonable for the work performed. Upon ratification of this contract,
staff will dose 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 Capital Improvement Program (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.
Funding is budgeted in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account of the Water and Sewer operating budget for the purpose of funding the Emer SS
M244B Repair project.
