DISCUSSION:

This Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize the establishment of a per acre charge for a sewer main extension (S-15919, City Project Number 01198, DOE 6109, X-20792) to serve the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD Maintenance, Transportation, and Warehouse Facility project and surrounding areas. The Fort Worth Water department requested that the proposed sewer extension be upsized to serve future development of adjacent properties within the sewer sub basin. Sewer main S-15919 is comprised of 2,561 linear feet of 15-inch, 3,121 linear feet of 12-inch, 492 linear feet of 10-inch, and 564 linear feet of 8-inch diameter sewer pipe which serves a calculated basin area of 1,030 acres.

The qualified cost used to establish the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD Maintenance, Transportation and Warehouse Facility sewer extension per acre charge is outlined below:

Sewer Main Construction Cost$425,613.46

The gross acreage of the sewer sub-basin is 1,030 acres, which is depicted on the drainage map attached to the ordinance. By dividing the costs above by the number of acres in the sewer basin, the per-acre charge for the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD Maintenance, Transportation and Warehouse Facility sewer extension is $413.22 per acre.  This amount will be reimbursed to the Developer (Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD) and the Fort Worth Water Department with 92.2% reimbursed to the Developer and 7.8% to the Water Department.

This sewer main meets the criteria established under the per acre charge policy. The maximum reimbursement time period for the developer is 20 years from the construction completion date of this project. There is no restriction to the time period for the reimbursement to the Fort Worth Water Department.

The sewer main is located in the City's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction and COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.

This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.

 
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

The Director of Finance certifies that the establishment of this per acre fee will allow the city to recapture costs associated with the capital investment in sewer lines. Upon approval, the Water Department has the responsibility to collect fees under this ordinance.
