The project was bid as two units. Unit 1 consists of all project elements that were determined by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to be eligible for funding with Clean Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF). The bid amount for Unit 1 was $764,453.50. Unit 2 consists of those project elements which were determined not to be eligible for CWSRF. The bid amount for Unit 2 was $164,083.00.

M/WBE - Conatser Construction TX, LP, is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 19 percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 18 percent.

Most State Revolving Loans are granted for construction contracts only. However with this particular loan the City of Fort Worth was authorized to pay for both an Engineering Agreement (design and survey) and the Construction Contract. Since no other expenses can be covered by SRF funding, additional appropriations of $49,200.00 ($41,000.00 for construction staking, project management material testing and inspection and $8,200.00 for project contingencies) are needed from the Sewer Capital Projects Fund.

The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 5.

 
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budgets, as appropriated, of the Sewer Capital Projects Fund and the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund 2007.
