Proposed Change No. 11- Chemical Feed and 48-in Transfer Pipe Modifications
(Rev1)
Dear Matt:
Amendment No. 2 - PFAS Treatment System Design (CPN-104942) identified specific
scope items and additional assumptions and exclusions due to unknown project
considerations at the time of scope development. Specific to this PCM, Amendment No.
2 defined limited scope related to the existing post-biofiltration sodium hypochlorite
(SHC), liquid ammonium sulfate (LAS) systems, and pH adjustment chemical (sodium
hydroxide). Attachment A of this PCM defines additional engineering design services to
modify these existing chemical application systems as defined as part of the design
progression and in coordination with FWWD in the project design coordination meetings.
With integration of GAC process and Treated Water Pump Station it was known that the
existing SHC and LAS injection points would require relocation. It was assumed that the
planned treated water piping system layout could be configured to permit injection in
proximity to the existing vaults at the Transfer Pump Station. With completion of the
subsurface utility engineering (SUE) investigation, it was determined that the new
treated water piping system could not be routed as planned and a more significant re-
route of the existing SHC and LAS conveyance utilities (routing, manholes, utility
coordination, etc) was required to facilitate maintenance of redundant SHC supplies
from SHWTP and NHWTP and the LAS supply from NHWTP.
SHWTP intermittently utilizes an existing post-biofiltration sodium hydroxide (caustic)
application point, dependent upon water quality and chemistry, to maintain a target
finished water pH. Requirements for post-GAC pH adjustment were not fully evaluated
at the time of design scoping as pH impacts of biogrowth on the GAC pilot media were
not yet observed. With progression of the GAC pilot, it was evident that the observed
biogrowth did have a pH impact, decreasing the pH. Accordingly, installation of a
secondary caustic feed point was discussed with FWWD operations staff. It was
determined that a single new injection point could be installed on the common treated
water pipe upstream of Clearwell No. 6. The planned installation requires a new
injection manhole and chemical pipe trench/casing system with intermediate manholes
as discussed in the 95% review meeting. The design of an active or passive approach to
freeze protection of the caustic piping/tubing system is required.
As presented in ORFI-019, the confirmed routing for the new treated water pipe to the
existing transfer pipeline upstream of Clearwell No. 6 resulted in minimal existing piping
to remain and required a special connection fitting to join the pipes, in addition to
accommodating the new caustic injection manhole mentioned herein. To reduce project
construction risks, replacement of the final pipe segments (<100 ft) of the 48-in pipe to
the Clearwell No. 6 tee was recommended. Implementation of this design change
required additional SUE coordination, site/profile design drawing updates and detailing
for the installation.
Upon your review, we would request your concurrence with this proposed contract
change. Formal documentation of the contract change via amendment will be
subsequently submitted aggregate to pending proposed change modifications (PCMs).
Please advise if any questions or additional information is required for review of this
proposal.

The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in
completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the
work to be performed and address the needs of the Project.
PROJECT DEFINITION AND BACKGROUND
Amendment No. 1 — SHWTP PFAS Process Preliminary Engineering (CPN-104942)
included a preliminary review of the existing North WTP and South Holly WTP post -filtration
disinfection strategies relative to integration of the GAC process (Task 3.3).
The preliminary engineering review identified adjustments to the application of sodium
hypochlorite (SHC) and liquid ammonia sulfate (LAS) post filtration at SHWTP. Design
efforts included with the Amendment No. 2 design assumed reconnection of the existing the
SHC and LAS systems to new injection points near the existing locations. However due to
existing utilities that were subsequently identified, more significant utility design
modifications were required. Based on these determinations, the following additional
services will be performed:
• Definition and development of demolition drawings and replacement designs for the
existing SHC and LAS yard piping systems to feed the proposed application points at
the TWPS and FTWTPS.
• Modification of the existing SHC and LAS yard piping systems to integrate
junction manholes and boxes to facilitate installation, operation, and
maintenance.
• Modify existing SHC/LAS utilities to accommodate the developed designs for
the GAC PFAS infrastructure and to allow application at the modified
FTWTPS and at the TWPS meter vault.
• Maintain the SHWTP redundant SHC feed piping systems.
The existing SHC and LAS feed pumps will be utilized. Per discussions with the
CITY, static mixers will not be required based on the proposed injection locations
and injector spacing.
Further evaluation of the existing post -filtration pH management strategy was noted as
dependent upon recommended piloting. GAC piloting was performed concurrent with
design development as part of the Amendment No. 2 Phase 220 activities. ENGINEER
reviewed the sodium hydroxide (caustic) application strategies and coordinated with the
City of Fort Worth, Texas

CITY PROJECT NO.: 104942
CITY for definition of a new SHWTP caustic application design. Based on these
determinations, the following additional services will be performed:
• Definition and development of design modification drawings for the SHWTP existing
caustic application piping to provide a common application point upstream of
Clearwell No. 6 and No. 7, with the preferred installation inclusive of the following:
• Modify existing caustic feed pump discharge piping to permit manual
switching of feed points.
• Routing a carrier pipe and chemical feed hose from the existing Caustic
Building to the application point.
• Detailing of a pre -cast injection manhole and intermediate junction boxes
similar to the existing SHC and LAS systems.
• Definition of product and material specifications for the caustic system.
• Design or ancillary installations such as heat trace and insulation.
• The existing caustic feed pumps will be utilized and the existing FTWTPS
application point will be maintained.
• Perform five additional LEVEL A SUE locates.
• Dependent upon confirmation of crossing utilities along 11 th Avenue and freeze
protection options for the preferred flexible tubing system, alternative a HS-20 load
rated, precast concrete trench system may be required and is assumed as basis of
design for this PCM.
As presented in ORFI-019, the confirmed routing for the new treated water pipe to the
existing transfer pipeline upstream of Clearwell No. 6 resulted in minimal existing piping to
remain and required a special connection fitting to join the pipes, in addition to
accommodating the new caustic injection manhole mentioned herein. To reduce project
construction risks, replacement of the final pipe segments (<100 ft) of the 48-in pipe to the
Clearwell No. 6 tee was recommended to reduce construction risks. To implement this
design change the following additional services will be performed:
• Perform additional SUE coordination (four test holes) to supplement previous
investigation data.
• Develop extended pipe plan and profile drawings for the additional length of pipe.
• Update site civil plans and adjust area layouts to include the additional areas of work.
• Develop revised connection details and coordinate with the cathodic protection
evaluation and design.
This PCM-11 defines the engineering services for execution of these design tasks. This
scope of work defines the tasks to develop biddable construction documents (design -bid -
build) concurrent with the Amendment No. 2 design efforts.

Proposed Change No. 12- Phase 3 Pilot Operations (Rev1)
Dear Matt:
The work defined via Amendment No. 2 - PFAS Treatment System Design (CPN-
104942) included services to develop and oversee a demonstration pilot for validation
of GAC performance for PFAS removal. This effort included a two-phase effort to fulfill
TCEQ requirements and verify treatment performance.
This PCM-12 defines additional pilot efforts to evaluate and confirm operational condi-
tions relevant to the GAC process design and operations. Specifically, the Phase III pilot
effort will evaluate the preferred GAC media in two gradations respective to hydraulic
conditions and backwash operations. Primary objective of this effort is to validate ability
to maintain a consistent clean -bed media hydraulic operational condition with a pre-
scribed backwash operation.
Per our prior discussions, BC has proceeded to initiate these efforts considerate of the
overall project schedule, and we would request your concurrence with this proposed
contract change. Formal documentation of the contract change via amendment will be
subsequently submitted aggregate to pending proposed change modifications (PCMs).

the work to be performed and address the needs of the Project.
PROJECT DEFINITION AND BACKGROUND
The Amendment No. 2, Task 2 — TCEQ Pilot Study scope, defined the original plan for
execution and evaluation of a demonstration pilot to validate performance of GAC as a
primary treatment mechanism for the removal of PFAS. This was proposed as a two-phase
pilot program:
• Phase I - TCEQ pilot testing requirements for innovative/alternative treatment
processes specified in TCEQ regulation 30 TAC 290.42 (g) for a duration of 90-days.
• Phase II — Evaluation of PFAS treatment performance. The pilot system will
be operated for a total duration of 12-months to observe PFAS breakthrough in the
pilot columns.
The Phase I TCEQ pilot report was submitted for their regulatory review. Phase II efforts
are on -going, but were paused due to a required South Holly WTP maintenance shut -down
(November 1, 2025 and a --45 day duration). Water quality analyses and sampling were
completed to date per the original plan, however additional sampling and quality assurance
measures were implemented for the Phase I and Phase II sampling/analyses efforts due to
determinations from the Task 270 NCP Compliance, Quality Assurance Project Plan and
Analytical Data Validation definition and coordination with the City's outside legal counsel.
Based on observations from the Phase I and Phase II efforts, additional piloting and
operations are recommended to evaluate the preferred media in two gradation sizes relative
to GAC hydraulics and backwash operations. The following scope of work defines that
planned activities for this Phase III of the GAC pilot efforts.

Subject: Emerging Contaminants - PFAS Treatability Study
CPN-104942
Proposed Change No. 13- TWPS, Horizontal -Split Case Evaluation (Rev1)
Dear Matt:
Preliminary engineering to develop the basis of design for integration of a PFAS treat-
ment process at the Holly WTPs was initiated as part of Amendment No. 1(June 2024).
Biweekly meetings to review progression of the basis of design were conducted through-
out the project to provide FWWD opportunity to review and comment on design progres-
sion and engineering recommendations and to confirm design decisions in effort to ex-
pedite design definition. During the draft preliminary engineering review meeting in
December 13, 2024 BC presented the developed basis of design for the PFAS improve-
ments.
The Treated Water Pump Station (TWPS) basis of design and BIM model had been devel-
oped as a vertical turbine pump (VTP) station using a wetwell to supply the pump can in-
takes. This configuration was selected early in the basis of design development due to
hydraulic and site considerations and limitations, and it was subsequently reviewed with
FWWD and advanced with design concept development during the preliminary engineer-
ing efforts. During the December review meeting FWWD staff advised that it was their
preference to utilize horizontal split case (HSC) pumps in lieu of VTPs due to operation
and maintenance considerations. FWWD requested that BC revisit a HSC configuration.
Subsequent to the review meeting BC proceeded to re-examine configuration of the
TWPS using HSC pumps and the primary efforts included the following:
• Preliminary identification of viable HSC pump selections (treated water pumps
and wash water pumps) and pumping unit combinations comparable to the se-
lected VTP units and estimated system hydraulics.
• Communications with select HSC vendors to validate custom candidate selec-
tions and operational ranges and limitations, and to confirm numbers of pump-
ing units.
• Verification of physical specifications, dimensional characteristics, power re-
quirements, and preliminary suction requirements (NPSH).
• Development of plan layouts consideration of physical characteristics, piping lay-
outs, Hydraulic Institute standards.
• Review of integration plan with developed GAC process and electrical room lay-
outs.
• Conceptual development of site plan layouts relative to existing site conditions
and utilities.
• Developed a conceptual cost comparison of the pumping units and building and
site development modifications.

BC summarized the draft findings from this evaluation and reviewed them with FWWD in
the March 11, 2025 Design Coordination Meeting. In summary, the HSC configuration
was determined to have a greater cost due to increased building footprint, greater pump
costs, need for material handling equipment, and relocation of site utilities. Based on
these draft findings, FWWD advised that the design should proceed with a VTP configu-
ration.
The effort to evaluate a potential change to an HSC configuration were identified at that
time as additional efforts due to prior discussion of the VTP configuration and subse-
quent design progression of those efforts. We would request your concurrence with this
proposed contract change for completion of these work activities. Formal documenta-
tion of the contract change via an amendment will be subsequently submitted along
with other pending proposed change modifications (PCMs).
Please advise if any questions or additional information is required for review of this pro-
posa I.

CITY PROJECT NO.: 104942
The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in
completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the
work to be performed and address the needs of the Project.
PROJECT DEFINITION AND BACKGROUND
Amendment No. 2 — Holly Water Treatment Facility PFAS Treatment Design (CPN-104942)
included support of the CITY's Project Manager relative to CITY building code coordination.
As part of the allocated services, the ENGINEER participated in a pre -development
conference (PDC) with the Project Manager to confirm project design permitting
requirements that were not specifically defined at the time of Amendment No. 2 scope
definition.
Information communicated to the Project Manager and the ENGINEER during the PDC
identified governing stormwater code requirements respective to the Project, including code -
defined flood areas (FEMA and CITY) in addition to estimated potential high-water areas
(PHWA), which are defined as `advisory' conditions. The PDC information confirmed that
the Project site does not include code -defined flood areas, however the CITY identifies
PHWAs on the Project site. From subsequent design review of this information with CITY
staff, it was requested that the ENGINEER design facilities to position potentially vulnerable
assets (electrical and instrumentation equipment) at elevations above the elevation defined
by the 100-year PHWAs. Based on this direction, the ENGINEER will implement design
modifications to position potentially vulnerable assets within the GAC Facility process pipe
gallery at or above the CITY's estimated PHWA (EL 543). Primary efforts to implement this
modification include adjusting elevations of assets and raising the gallery floor by
approximately 18" to maintain accessibility for operation and maintenance.
This PCM-14 defines the engineering services for execution of these design tasks. This
scope of work defines the tasks to develop biddable construction documents (design -bid -
build) concurrent with the Amendment No. 2 design efforts.
The CITY has advised that advertisement for the Holly Water Treatment Facility PFAS
Treatment Design will occur no earlier than January 2027. The ENGINEER and CITY
Project Manager will coordinate Project execution schedule respective to this timeline.

Amendment No. 2 — Holly Water Treatment Facility PFAS Treatment Design (CPN-104942)
included tasks to confirm preliminary design concepts for the GAC process and Treated
Water Pump Station (TWPS). These tasks included pilot testing to evaluate the proposed
GAC media and physical modeling for the TWPS preliminary layout, which affect the
hydraulic design conditions for these process facilities. Due to the original accelerated
project schedule, the pilot testing and physical modeling tasks were performed concurrent
with design development through the 75% design milestone.
ORFI-020 was submitted to summarize findings and design impacts identified from the GAC
pilot testing and TWPS physical modeling, with the primary considerations being:
• GAC operational conditions were impacted by expected biological growth, increasing
head loss through the media requiring frequent backwashing at design loading rates.
• TWPS suction configuration required reduction of the design wet well operating
range due to possible air entrainment.
Due to the observed pilot headloss conditions and the reduction of TWPS operating range
per the physical model findings, an adjustment of the GAC contactor and TWPS hydraulic
configuration was proposed to increase available total driving head for the GAC gravity
contactor operation and to expand operating range for the installed pumps. The following
recommendations were reviewed with CITY staff to confirm concurrence.
• TWPS Inlet Weir
o Modification
■ Lower from EL 555.0 to EL 550.0
■ Maintain inlet weir plate and trough for flow distribution.
Benefits
■ Proportionally increase GAC Contactor total driving head.
■ Enhance contactor run-time between backwash operations.

TWPS Suction
o Modifications
■ Modify pump inlets from tee -head configuration to traditional below -
grade pump can configuration.
■ Exclude isolation valves on individual pump suction piping.
■ Incorporate a suction inlet trench
o Benefits
■ Increase design operating range from the reduced 4 feet to
approximately 8 feet
■ Expand pump VFD operational control range.
The TWPS suction configuration modifications identified in ORFI-020 were discussed
among the ENGINEER's design team inclusive of Verdantas, who performed the original
TWPS physical model. The modified configuration is viewed as feasible with
implementation of pump suction / pump can configuration recommendations similar to those
described in the original TWPS physical model, adherence to Hydraulic Institute pump can
velocity limitations, and maintaining the estimated wet well operating level identified in ORFI-
020. The proposed minimum wet well operating level can be verified via an update to the
physical model. Per the CITY's request, additional physical modeling is not included in this
PCM. The design intent will be to field verify and adjust the minimum operating level at
start-up and commissioning to confirm operational control levels and if needed implement
mitigative measures to address potential hydraulic issues if observed.
This PCM defines the engineering services for execution of these design tasks. This scope
of work defines the tasks to develop biddable construction documents (design -bid -build)
concurrent with the Amendment No. 2 design efforts.

Subject: Emerging Contaminants - PFAS Treatability Study (CPN-104942)
PCM No. 16- SEL Leachate Treatability Study -Design Services for New Electri-
cal Service and Ancillary Support Systems
Dear Matt:
Amendments No. 3 and No. 4 to the CPN-104942 scope of services defined efforts to
evaluate, select, and design infrastructure for implementation of leachate treatment
technology to manage PFAS concentrations in the City's Southeast Landfill leachate and
leachate condensate. Those efforts in conjunction with subsequent FWWD, stakeholder,
and vendor design discussions determined that treatment implementation will require
additional infrastructure improvements and project coordination, specifically:
• The original scope of services assumed that the existing utility power service and
site infrastructure would be adequate for the planned treatment installation and
that a PLC for remote monitoring would not be required.
• Engineering evaluation of vendor treatment systems and the existing landfill sys-
tems has determined that additional supporting infrastructure is required for the
installation - additional tankage and pumping systems.
• Design development and site evaluation performed to date and subsequently re-
viewed with FWWD determined that the treatment installation will require a new
electrical utility service and a PLC system for remote monitoring.
• Parallel to this project, FWWD's work to implement a renewable natural gas
(RNG) system at the landfill site identified several points of intersection between
the two projects, which requires additional services to allow for appropriate col-
laboration and coordination.
This PCM defines changes to the Southeast Landfill scope of services to include the
additional electrical and controls design; facilitate and manage development of a new
electrical service package with the electrical provider (Oncor); and support ongoing coor-
dination and collaboration with the RNG project. Attachment A describes the scope
changes and Attachment B summarizes the proposed level of effort.
Upon your review, we would request your concurrence with this proposed contract
change. Formal documentation of the contract change via amendment will be subse-
quently submitted aggregate to other pending proposed change modifications (PCMs).
Please advise if any questions or additional information is required for review of this pro-
posal.
Very truly yours,
Brown and Caldwell

CITY PROJECT NO.: 104942
The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in
completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the
work to be performed and address the needs of the Project.
PROJECT DEFINITION AND BACKGROUND
Amendment No. 3 — Southeast Landfill Treatability Study (CPN-104942) included study and
design of a new PFAS treatment system. Specifically, the scope was based on collecting
data on the existing leachate management system, completing a technology evaluation, and
then developing a design for a treatment system to be integrated into the landfill operations.
Execution of the engineering scope resulted in additional services, including expansion of
the characterization efforts and the need for additional supporting components for the PFAS
treatment, including electrical, controls, and ancillary process systems. The project will also
now require a new electrical service. Additionally, there is a parallel renewable natural gas
(RNG) service project, which requires coordination to allow for appropriate site infrastructure
development. Based on these determinations, the following additional services will be
performed:
• Additional Project Management Services due to extension of the project schedule,
including:
• 20 biweekly progress meetings were included in the original scope; an
additional 10 progress meetings are expected to be required.
• The target for completion of the project scope will be extended to August
2026
• Additional data processing and design basis development to include consideration
for the impacts to leachate generation and PFAS concentrations resulting from
disposal of Village Creek WRF biosolids at SE Landfill.
• Increased vendor coordination efforts to obtain budgetary and technical information
necessary to establish a recommended process configuration to allow for multiple
bidders.
• Expanded design scope to included:

CITY PROJECT NO.: 104942
• Storage tanks and pumps upstream and downstream of the PFAS treatment
system to integrate the treatment system with newly installed Republic
Services infrastructure and facilitate FWWD operations and monitoring.
• New primary power electrical service and power distribution center to support
newly required components outside of the vendor treatment package.
• Instrumentation and controls to align with FW standards and provide for
remote system monitoring.
The primary power service requires coordination with the power utility (Oncor) to define the
service agreement and associated power requirements and installation plan. ENGINEER
will support these efforts and coordinate the utility plan with the electrical design.
In parallel to the PFAS project, the City has entered into a separate contract with a
renewable natural gas (RNG) supplier, who will design and install an on -site system for
beneficial use of the landfill gases. This system will be installed adjacent to the new PFAS
system and has overlaps with civil aspects of the treatment design as well as the potential to
influence both electrical and process design. To minimize the potential for conflicting
scopes, ENGINEER will support FWWD and collaborate with the RNG supplier on points of
interface between the two FWWD projects in order to facilitate designs that work
conjunctively (to the extent possible) for the best interest of the City
This PCM-16 defines the engineering services for execution of these tasks. This scope of
work defines the tasks to develop biddable construction documents (design -bid -build)
concurrent with the Amendment No. 3 design efforts.

available leachate characteristics and general elements related to foam fractionation
processes with consideration of the identified vendor technology systems and operations.
Bench testing allowed vendor -specific evaluation of the process requirements and their
efforts to optimize process performance relative to their treatment technology for the
Southeast Landfill leachate characteristics. The testing results and treatment
recommendations/proposals from the individual vendors were process specific. Based on
review of the vendor -specific efforts, ENGINEER will perform the following tasks to align
data and process information for comparative evaluation of treatment processes:
• Complete additional coordination with vendors to address variability in testing
protocols and report assumptions
• Address questions from vendor on budgetary proposals and provide direction to align
quotations around consistent assumptions
Task Assumptions

the effectiveness of their standard system without the use of additives or other
chemical adjustments
• Quotations should assume procurement by a general contractor (design/bid/build)
that has been competitively selected by Fort Worth in alignment with Procurement
rules. Design/Build/Operate, Operate -for -Fee, or Leased systems are not
appropriate proposal conditions.
Task Work Products
• Conformed testing protocols
• Conformed budgetary proposals

TASK 307. Treatment System Design
The original scope of services assumed the design concept would be:
"...using foam fractionation as the primary technology. The foam fractionation
equipment will be a modular design consolidated into a skid or container suited for
installation on a concrete slab. Upstream and downstream storage will be provided
by the existing SEL facilities."
The operating protocols for the foam fractionation systems are semi -batch in nature,
resulting in multiple start/stop operations for the feed pumps, which places an extra burden
on Republic operations or requires upgrades to the feed pump controls. Additionally, the
feed supply from the Republic holding tanks must be balanced to meet arsenic discharge
requirements. These two conditions lead to the need for a daily batching tank in lieu of
direct feed from the existing units, which requires additional infrastructure (tank and pumps)
In addition, the discharge from the foam fractionation units would not have sufficient
pressure to reach the outfall from the landfill. A product tank is necessary to provide a feed
reservoir for a new set of discharge pumps.
The inclusion of additional infrastructure outside of the vendor's modular system will require
a power supply that is separate from the vendors power panel.
City standards also require a PLC to provide for remote monitoring of system performance.
ENGINEER will provide the following services:
• Add an influent tank and feed pumps to allow for operation of the PFAS treatment
based on Republic transfer of an arsenic compliant volume equivalent to the
processing capability of the PFAS unit within a 8 hour shift.
• Add a product tank and discharge pumps to facilitate transfer of product water to the
landfill discharge sewer.
• Add electrical infrastructure to connect and distribute a new electrical supply to the
FW-supplied equipment as well as the primary power feed to the modular PFAS
system
• Add a PLC to allow for external remote monitoring of equipment performance.
Task Assumptions
• The additional process and electrical equipment will be configured to allow for layout
within the area designated for the PFAS treatment system
• The new equipment will be located on the concrete slab that was planned for
supporting the vendor modular equipment. The slab will include a raised
containment curb and an automatic sump pump for discharging stormwater to the
upstream Republic holding tanks.
• The new Oncor power service will be configured to enter underground.

SUBJECT
(ALL) Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 5 to an Engineering Agreement with Brown and Caldwell in the Amount of $677,860.00 for a
Revised Contract Amount of $10,541,377.00 for the Emerging Contaminants Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Treatment Study Project and
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance 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:
1. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 5 to City Secretary Contract Number 60733, an engineering agreement with Brown and Caldwell, in
the amount of $677,860.00, for a Revised Contract Amount of $10,541,377.00 for the Emerging Contaminants Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl
Substances Treatment Study project; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund
in the amount of $677,860.00, transferred from available PayGo funds within the Water and Sewer Fund, for the purpose of funding the
Emerging Contaminants Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Treatment Study project (City Project No. 104942) to effect a portion of
Water's Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) ruling for regulating Maximum Contaminant Levels and Hazard Index for Per- and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in drinking water has prompted the Water Department to formulate plans to monitor potential sources and
reduce PFAS levels through source identification and treatment (if necessary). Prior to the adoption of USEPA's final rules, the Water Department
initiated testing of multiple sources including raw water, sewer, and drinking water to better understand the full water life -cycle challenge in
removing these contaminants. Through early testing, staff determined that additional advanced treatment may be needed at the drinking water
treatment plants in order to comply with the proposed PFAS regulations.
On December 12, 2023 Mayor & Council Communication (M&C 23-1075), the City Council authorized execution of an engineering agreement with
Brown and Caldwell in the amount of $1,304,303.00 to conduct systematic sampling and testing of the water through various phases of the
treatment process to help determine the optimal treatment strategy for reliable and economical removal of PFAS. Sampling has been conducted
from all existing raw water sources and from various stages at all five City water treatment plants. The results will affect all existing and future
customers. On June 11, 2024 (M&C 24-0513), the City Council authorized Amendment No. 1 to the engineering agreement in the amount
of $1,797,323.00, for preliminary engineering design services. On December 10, 2024 (M&C 24-1132), the City Council authorized Amendment
No. 2 to the engineering agreement in the amount of $5,591,853.00, for additional engineering design services regarding electrical, civil and
process design improvements. On January 28, 2025 (M&C 25-0089), the City Council authorized Amendment No. 3 to the engineering agreement
with Brown and Caldwell in the amount of $654,588.00 for additional engineering design services to identify potential treatment options and
develop a final design for a treatment system to remove PFAS from wastewater generated at the City -owned Fort Worth Southeast Landfill.
Wastewater from the facility was identified as a point source containing PFAS that discharges into the collection system. Anticipated benefits of
this project include reducing PFAS concentrations in wastewater treatment plant influent, effluent, and biosolids, as well as establishing a
demonstration facility that Fort Worth can showcase to other local and regional industries evaluating PFAS reduction and removal options. On
December 9, 2025 (M&C 25-1091) the City Council authorized Amendment No. 4 to the engineering agreement with Brown and Caldwell in the
amount of $515,450.00 for additional engineering design services to conduct bench -scale testing of selected treatment technologies for PFAS
removal. The amendment includes added survey and Surface Utility Engineer (SUE) work, electrical system upgrades, landfill bench -scale testing,
and additional National Contingency Plan (NCP) compliance tasks required by the updated regulatory approach.
Amendment No. 5 will provide additional funding for chemical feed system and 48 inch transfer pipe modifications, PFAS Pilot Phase 3
operations, and evaluations related to the treated water pump station, including both hydraulic adjustments and HSC analysis. Additional work also
includes adjustments to the GAC gallery elevation as well as the design of electrical service and ancillary support systems for the Southeast
Landfill facility.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (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 in the M&C will appropriate funds in support of the Water Utility'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 & Sewer Fund for the purpose of funding the Emerging
Contaminants PFAS Treatment Study project.
