LANCASTER AVENUE IN THE CITY OF ARLINGTON In mid -October of 2025, Water Field Operations crews discovered breaks and severe structural deficiencies on M-244A (at the locations shown on the attached exhibit), a city of Fort Worth sanitary sewer main located within City of Arlington limits. It is necessary to conduct emergency repairs at the locations in question, in order prevent total collapse and avoid consequent sanitary sewer overflows unto surrounding properties, during the next heavy rain event. This memo is submitted to inform the City Manager's Office and the City Council that, pursuant to the emergency authority found in Chapter 2, Article 1, Section 2-9 of the City's Code of Ordinances, the Water Department will initiate emergency procurement of the following contractor and consultant for the services and costs as indicated below to perform emergency repairs at both locations. Water Field Operations Crews are not able to conduct repair work of this magnitude. • Jackson Construction, LTD (Emergency water main replacement: $700,000.00) • Freese and Nichols, Inc. (Engineering Design $80,000.00) The contracts and work will be billed on a task order basis. The total of the contracts is estimated to be $780,000.00. The Water Department will coordinate with City of Arlington since this City of Fort Worth sanitary sewer main is located within City of Arlington limits. Waiting to bid and award a contract to perform this work is not the best interest of the health and safety of the City of Fort Worth. In addition to the citations, above, Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements expenditures that are necessary to preserve or protect public health or safety of the municipality's residents and procurements necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, or property. M&C(s) will be circulated to ratify the above contracts after the work has been performed.
