DISCUSSION
On July 6 2004 (M&C C-20145) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement
with FNI for the operational assessment and alternative evaluation to the Active Pool of the Fort Worth
Water Garden The first contract amendment provided for preliminary design engineering and architectural
analysis to determine modifications that would best address the needs to enhance safety improve
maintenance preserve the aesthetic quality and reduce operational cost.
Due to the age of the facility and additional safety enhancements recommended by staff as part of an
internal Risk Assessment, the second amendment to the contract expanded the scope of services to further
evaluate the electrical and lighting systems as well as the mechanical infrastructure of Pump Room No 2.
This third amendment to the contract addresses detailed design for an accessible at grade entrance to
Pump Room No 2 The current access to Pump Room No 2 is from the roof of the facility and requires
maintenance staff to ascend several walls and then descend by ladder into the pump room The at-grade
entrance was identified as a need during the evaluation of the mechanical infrastructure in Pump Room No
2. The new entrance will provide easier access for maintenance staff to transport chemicals and heavy
machinery in and out of the area
Also included in this third amendment is the design of kiosk and signage as recommended in the Risk
Assessment conducted by staff The kiosk will serve as a way finding mechanism as well as providing

needed precautionary statements to alert visitors of potential hazards In addition based on the desires of
interested parties, the opportunity to include a memorial could be incorporated into the design of the kiosk.
Miscellaneous renovations refer to the repair of the eastern portion of the Wet Wall where a significant
portion of the concrete aggregate surface has failed Considering the extent of repairs and renovations of
the electrical and plumbing systems that are being undertaken in the Plaza area immediate to the Wet
Wall it was prudent to consider this repair in conjunction with those renovations in order to achieve cost
savings and construction efficiencies
FNI is in compliance with the City's MMBE ordinance by committing to 13% M/V1/BE participation on this
project.
The Fort Worth Water Gardens is located in District 9 and serves the entire city
