The project was advertised for bids on January 14 and January 21, 2026, in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On February 26, 2026, the following bids were received: Bidder Venus Construction Company SYB Construction Co. Inc IR & D Burns Brothers, Inc William J Schultz Inc dba Circle C Construction Company Jackson Constructions, Ltd Woody Contractors, Inc Amount Time of Completion 500 $7,012,695.20 Calendar Days $7,260,169.88 $7,528,748.50 $7,557,116.00 $7,623,731.00 $8,067,074.40 Western Municipal Construction of Texas $10,052,969.60 LLC Small Business (SB) Goal - Venus Construction Company is in compliance with the small business goal. The Water Department's share of this contract is $6,377,135.20 and will be available in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund for the W/SS REPL 2019 WSM-1 project (City Project No. 103415). The Transportation & Public Works (TPW) Department's share of this contract is $635,560.00. The paving funds for this project are included in the 2022 Bond Program. In addition to the contract amount, $550,063.80 (water: $319,839.80, sewer: $160,924.00, and paving: $69,300.00) is required for project management, material testing, and inspection. Project contingencies are provided in the amount of $343,997.00 (water: $211,681.00, sewer: $107,176.00, and paving: $25,140.00). This project will have no impact on the Transportation & Public Works operating budget when completed. The sanitary sewer component of this project is part of the Sanitary Sewer Overflow Initiative Program of the Water Department. Approximately 7,720 linear feet of cast iron water and 5,063 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe will be removed and replaced as part of this project. This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water & Sewer Fund. 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. Under federal law, debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not obligate the City to sell bonds but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds. It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 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. Funding is currently available in the Commercial Paper project within the Water & Sewer Commercial Paper Fund for the purpose of funding the W/SSREPL Contract 2019 Water Sewer Main -I project. Funding is also budgeted in the 2022 Bond Program Fund in the Street Improvement - Deteriorating Streets programmable project. Appropriations for the water, sanitary sewer, and paving improvements for the Water and Sanitary Sewer Replacement Contract 2019 WSM-1 project by Fund will consist of the following: Fund Existing ' Additional Project Total* Appropriationsl Appropriations 2022 Bond Program - Fund $70,000.00 $730,000.00 $800,000.00 34027 W&S Capital Projects - Fund $1,994,141.00 $0.00$1,994,141.00 56002 W&S Commercial Paper — Fund $0.00 $7,176,756.00 $7,176,756.00 56026 Project Total II $2,064,141.0011 $7,906,756.00II$9,970,897.00 Numbers rounded for presentation purposes. Funding for this project was not included in the Transportation and Public Works FY2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program due to insufficient funding to complete the original scope. The actions in this M&C will amend the Transportation & Public Works FY2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 27979-09-2025. The TPW cost included in this project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25765-08-2022) provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to make any interim progress payments until the debt is issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022). The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 11. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund and in the Street Imprv—Deteriorating Sts programmable project within the 2022 Bond Program Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the W&S Commercial Paper and 2022 Bond Program Funds for the W/SS REPL Contract 2019 WSM-1 project to support the execution of the construction contract.
