Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 10/21/25 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 25-0960
LOG NAME: 60WATER CIS FUNDING
SUBJECT
(ALL) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $412,000.00 for Project Management Costs Related to the Implementation of a New Water
Customer Information System to Effect a Portion of Water's Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 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 $412,000.00, transferred from available PayGo funds within the Water and Sewer Fund, for the
purpose of funding the Water Customer Information System Meter to Cash Program project (City Project No. 104667) to effect a portion of Water's
contribution to the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
On November 14, 2023, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 23-0980 appropriated $500,000.00 for the hiring of a Water Utility Customer
Information System Consultant. On March 26, 2024, M&C 24-0235, approved the execution of a contract with EMA, Inc. in the amount of
$1,200,000.00 and appropriated $700,000.00.
The $412,000.00 appropriation requested in this M&C will provide for the second phase of the project which includes selecting the software
vendor, as well as creating and publishing a Request for Proposal to identify and select a system integrator.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when complete.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its 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 of this M&C will appropriate funds
in support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
Funding is currently available in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account of the Water and Sewer Fund for the purpose of funding the Water Customer
Information System Meter to Cash Program project.
