RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute amendments to wholesale water contracts with the City of
Burleson, City of Crowley, and Bethesda Water Supply Corporation providing for cost participation
by these entities in the proposed water transmission main extension to meet each customer's
estimated capacity/demand in 2020; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with S.J. Louis Construction of Texas, Ltd., LLP,
in the amount of $2,781,800 for the Southside III, 36-Inch Water Transmission Main Extension from
Cleburne Crowley Road to the City of Burleson at Shannon Creek.
DISCUSSION:
On August 8, 2001 (M&C C-18713), the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an
engineering contract with Freese & Nichols, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications for the Southside III
water transmission main from Cleburne Crowley Road to the City of Burleson at Shannon Creek. This
project will accommodate new growth in the Fort Worth extraterritorial jurisdiction, as well as areas
currently served by wholesale water customers (Bethesda Water Supply Corporation and the Cities of
Burleson and Crowley).
In order to share in the costs of the overall project, wholesale water contracts must be amended. The
wholesale customers agree to participate in the engineering and construction based on capacity of
each customer's need as stated in the contract amendments.
Under the terms of the contract amendment, the following cost participation estimates will apply to this
final phase of the project:
City of Burleson $1,099,084
City of Crowley $ 31,817
Bethesda Water Supply Corporation $1,099,084
City of Fort Worth $ 551,815
