Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 09/30/25 MSC FILE NUMBER: M&C 25-0941
LOG NAME: 60EMER15INM-265REPAIR-NTEXAS
SUBJECT
(CD 5) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $1,000,000.00 for Emergency 15-Inch Sanitary Sewer Leak Repair South of the Hart
Street and Interstate Highway 820 Intersection 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 adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water
and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $1,000,000.00 from available PayGo residuals in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund
for the purpose of funding the Emer SS M265 Repair Ratify N Texas project (City Project No.106404) and to effect a portion of Water's contribution
to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
On June 19, 2025, a 750-foot segment of Sanitary Sewer Main M-265 located south of the Hart Street and Interstate Highway (I.H). 820
intersection was found to be completely disintegrated and could not be connected to a new sewer main being rerouted by the utility subcontractor,
North Texas Contracting, Inc. for South -Point Constructors, the General Contractor for the Southeast Connector Project.
Under an emergency authorization memorandum of July 22, 2025, North Texas Contracting, Inc. was engaged for the replacement of the
disintegrated pipe section in the amount of $1,000,000.00. (City Secretary Contract No. 63831). The purpose of this Mayor & Council
Communication (M&C) is to secure funding to compensate North Texas Contracting, Inc. from capital funds instead of operating funds. Adoption of
the appropriation ordinance ensures funding for this work is secured in the Water Department's capital projects fund.
South -Point Constructors, as part of its obligations for utility relocations on the Southeast Connector Project, is required to reroute, relocate or
replace water and/or sanitary sewer mains that are in conflict and located within Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) right-of-way. The
identified segment of M-265 is located outside of TxDOT right-of-way, making the City responsible for replacing the main.
The contract and work will be billed on a task order basis. An M&C will be circulated to ratify the above contract after the work has been
performed.
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 of this 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 available in the Unspecified All -Funds project within the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of funding the Emer SS
M265 Repair Ratify N Texas project.
Appropriations for the Emer SS M265 Repair Ratify NTx project, are as depicted below:

This project is located in Council District 5.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified All -Funds project within the W&S Capital Projects Fund, and
upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the W&S Capital
Projects Fund for the Emer SS M265 Repair Ratify NTx project. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has responsibility
of verifying the availability of funds.
