Water and Sewer Fund for the Code Compliance, Police and Water Departments and in the Software
Licenses account within the Environmental Protection Fund and the General Fund for the
Environmental Services Department.
DVIN-BE: The Police Department was approved for a Chapter 252 Exemption by the City Attorney's
Office, that included the Environmental Services Department, the Code Compliance Department, and
the Water Department. Therefore, the business equity goal is not applicable.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does
not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERM: Upon City Council's approval, the initial term of the agreements will become
effective once executed by the Assistant City Manager and will expire twelve (12) months later with
options to renew.
RENEWAL OPTIONS: The agreements may be renewed for up to four (4) one-year renewal terms, at
the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City
Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal period.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the recommendation, funds are available in the
current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the General Fund, Environmental Protection
Fund and in the Water & Sewer Fund. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Police, Code
Compliance, Environment Services, and Water Departments have the responsibility to validate the
availability of funds.
