Adopt Ordinances Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in the Water Capital Fund in the Amount of $17,416.00 and the Sewer Capital Fund Legacy in the Amount of $7,317.00 and Authorize Execution of Change Order No. 7, in the Amount of $327,990.85, to City Secretary Contract No. 46462 with JLB Contracting, LLC for Streetscape and Infrastructure Improvements along South Main Street from Vickery Boulevard to Magnolia Avenue and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 8 and 9).

It is recommended that the City Council:

1.  Adopt the attached appropriation ordinances increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water Capital Fund in the amount of $17,416.00 and the Sewer Capital Fund Legacy in the amount of $7,317.00; and

2.  Authorize execution of Change Order No. 7, in the amount of $327,990.85, to City Secretary Contract No. 46462 with JLB Contracting, LLC for additional streetscape and infrastructure improvements along South Main Street from Vickery Boulevard to Magnolia Avenue (C02113).

The South Main Urban Village Complete Streets Project, which encompasses the South Main Urban Village, will construct streetscape and infrastructure improvements along South Main Street from Vickery Boulevard to Magnolia Avenue.  The streetscape improvements include wide sidewalks, tree wells, pedestrian lighting, recessed on-street parking with bulb-outs to define pedestrian crossings and replacement of existing bike lanes.  Infrastructure improvements include full roadway reconstruction, water and sewer upgrades (to replace aging facilities and provide additional capacity to accommodate anticipated development) and upgraded storm drainage facilities.

Once construction started several property owners along South Main Street approached the City of Fort Worth to have their existing services upgraded to a larger size.  An agreement was made with six of the property owners whereby they would  pay for the cost difference in their water and sewer services upgrades.  A portion of those receipts were previously appropriated (M&C C-27184) with the balance being appropriated with this M&C.

Change Order No. 7 adds to the Contract with JLB for the required quantities not previously included.  The items provided for in this change order include water pipe, sewer pipe, sewer sampling well, asphalt paving, concrete paving, brick pavers, landscaping items and street light metering.

M/WBE Office - JLB Contracting, LLC. agrees to maintain its initial MBE commitment of 15 percent that it made on the original contract and extend and maintain that same MBE commitment of 15 percent to all prior change orders up to and inclusive of this Change Order No. 7.  Therefore JLB Contracting, LLC. remains in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance and attests to its commitment by its signature on the Acceptance of Previous MBE Commitment form executed by an authorized representative of its company.
