DISCUSSION:
On August 13, 2024, by Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 24-0677 the City Council authorized a construction contract with S.J. Louis
Construction of Texas, Ltd., in the amount of $2,893,650.00 for Part 1 of the Marine Creek Sanitary Sewer Main M-245B & M-279 Replacement
project, that provided for trenchless rehabilitation slip lining for the existing 60-inch sanitary sewer pipe crossing Union Pacific Railroad right-of-
way South of E. Northside Drive.
The contract was subsequently revised by Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $63,865.52 administratively authorized February 13, 2025 that
provided for an adequately sized manhole to provide adequate work space to conduct slip lining and connecting existing sanitary sewer mains at
the manhole location.
Change Order No. 2 provides for the following: Fiberglass joint glassing of the liner material to allow for proper fitting into the existing carrier pipe,
the removal/disposal of previously unknown concrete and contaminated material that had to be manually dug out of the existing pipe prior to slip
lining and additional by-pass pumping to allow for the joint glassing and the time period to remove the material from the pipe.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program 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 the
M&C will amend the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Year 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
Funding is available in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Rev Bonds Series 2024 Fund for the purpose of funding the Marine Creek
Sanitary Sewer M-245B & M-279 Replacement project.
