Participation in an amount up to $925,943.50, (2) adopt a resolution expressing official intent

Developer is constructing the Indco 1-35 Eagle development project located south of Eagle
Parkway and east of North Freeway. The Developer is required to extend water main to serve
the proposed development. The Water Department is requesting to oversize approximately
3,976 linear feet of water main from 12-inch to 16-inch for anticipated future growth in the
area. The INDCO 1-35 Eagle water line project is assigned City Project No. 106547 and Accela
System Record IPRC25-0170.
In accordance with Chapter 212, Subchapter C of the Texas Local Government Code, the City's
participation in the contract is exempt from competitive bidding requirements because the
contract is for oversizing public improvements being constructed by the Developer, the
Developer will execute a performance bond to cover the total project cost, including all of the
City's cost participation, and the City's cost participation will be determined in accordance
with the City's community facilities agreement (CFA) unit price ordinance.
The City's cost participation in the oversizing of the water main is estimated to be in an amount
up to $925,943.50 as shown in the table below. Payments to the Developer are estimated to
be: $907,797.76 for construction costs, $696.59 for Infrastructure Plan Review Center (IPRC)
fees, and $11,800.00 for design services costs. The City's cost participation also includes
$5,649.15 to cover the City's portion of construction inspection service fees, water lab fees,
and administrative material testing fees. An additional $72,623.82 in contingency funds will
cover the City's portion of any change orders.

It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
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 in the M&C will appropriate funds in support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort
Worth's Fiscal Years 2026-2030 CIP.
Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the
appropriation authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be
used to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated
with this project is sold, bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached Reimbursement Resolution.
Funding is available in the Commercial Paper project within the Water & Sewer Commercial
Paper Fund for the purpose of funding the CFA-INDCO 1-35 Eagle project.
