City Council Regular Meeting
Meeting Date: 04/06/2021  

BACKGROUND
At the time of original development, the Walgreens on FM 1103 and Corridor Oaks Road constructed a public sewer main along Corridor Oaks Road in order to meet the development requirement of extending public mains to adjacent properties. Because the sewer main was never extended across the FM 1103 frontage of Walgreens, it creates a difficult situation for developers to connect to the main who are wanting to develop upstream of the property. The topography of this area dictates the properties on the south side of FM 1103 between Fortune Hill and Corridor Oaks Road should be served by this gravity sewer main. 

Extending the sewer main to the Corridor Oaks Subdivision will remove one burden on future development along the portion of FM 1103 between Fortune Hill and Corridor Oaks Road. This project will only construct the short (300 L.F.) segment of sewer main between Corridor Oaks Road and the Corridor Oaks Subdivision. Any future extensions of this main will be done by future development as required by the City of Schertz Unified Development Code.

This project was publicly bid using a Lowest Qualified Bidder Method. Two (2) proposals were received for the project.  M&C Fonseca Construction Co., Inc. was the lowest bidder and were also lower than the Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost. City Staff evaluated the M&C Fonseca Construction Co., Inc. proposal and found them to be qualified to complete the project based on their experience on other similar projects. M&C Fonseca Construction Co., Inc. proposed to perform the work for $74,235.00 and City Staff recommends a 10% contingency for the project.

Once the contract is authorized, a notice to proceed is expected to be issued within two to three weeks. The project duration per the contract is 75 days.
