City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

12/05/2023

BACKGROUND

City staff has determined that the City requires additional engineering-related services for the completion of the Riata Lift Station Relocation Project. Utility Engineering Goup, PLLC (UEG) is nearing completion of design and site acquisition for the relocation of the Riata Lift Station. Staff has recommended upsizing the gravity sewer line during the course of the project. UEG needs to expend additional hours beyond those originally anticipated to incorporate that change as well as additional effort to acquire the easements and property needed. The estimated cost of the additional services is $27,930.00. Staff is seeking a not to exceed amount of $35,000.00.

GOAL

The goal of Resolution 23-R-127 is to obtain authorization from City Council to have UEG provide additional services toward completion of the Riata Lift Station Relocation Project.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Upsizing the existing sewer line with this project will ensure adequate capacity in this segment of the collection system for the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 23-R-127 authorizing an amendment to UEG’s agreement for the Riata Lift Station Project, for a not-to-exceed amount of $35,000.

FISCAL IMPACT

Initial funding for the design work has been allocated from the City’s Water and Sewer Construction Reserves. A portion of the expenditures will be reimbursable by TxDOT - the amount of the reimbursable portion will be determined through negotiation with TxDOT to determine how much of the fee is attributable to the upsize of the main (responsibility of the City). The estimated cost of the additional services is $27,930.00. Staff is seeking a not to exceed amount of $35,000.00.

RECOMMENDATION

Approve Resolution 23-R-127.
