d/b/a Red Group, for the Construction of Fort Worth Water SCADA Replacement 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 Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $125,732.39 to City Secretary No. 62240 a contract with Remont Engineering &
Design Group, LLC d/b/a Red Group for the construction of Fort Worth Water SCADA replacement project (City Project No. 103086) for a
revised contract amount $8,359,568.39; and
2. Adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund
in the amount of $125,733.00, from available PayGo residuals, for the purpose of funding the SCADA Replacement project (City Project No.
103086) and to effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
On October 15, 2024, by Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 24-0853, the City Council authorized a construction contract with Remont
Engineering and Design Group, LLC in the amount of $8,233,836.00 for the construction of Fort Worth Water SCADA replacement.
Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $125,732.39 will provide for one additional Category, a PLC that was not part of the original scope of work.
This additional PLC is the Westside backup generator PLC from a project that was not complete at the time this project was bid. Approval of this
change order will allow Operators to view and remotely start/stop the Westside generators via the new Ignition HMI. The generators are currently
viewed and controlled via the existing HSQ HMI which will ultimately be replaced upon completion of the SCADA replacement project.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its 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. The actions in this M&C will appropriate funds in
support of the Water Department's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
Funding is currently available in the Unspecified All -Funds project within the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of funding this
change order.
