Requested Action
Consider the authorization of funding and approval of the contract.
Recommendation
The authorization of funding in an amount not to exceed $77,060 and approval of a contract for design services with Spiars Engineering and Surveying for the Harvest Point Public Infrastructure Opinion of Probable Construction Cost and Sanitary Sewer Analysis.
Description/History
The Harvest Point development at Lone Star Rd. and TX 360 will require several significant public infrastructure improvement projects in the immediate area. These projects will include the reconstruction of Lone Star Rd. from TX 360 to Miller Rd. and Miller Rd. from Lone Star Rd. to the railroad as well as several significant water and sewer improvements.
This contract provides for the development an opinion of probable construction cost for all anticipated infrastructure improvement projects. These upfront cost opinions are necessary to appropriately plan, phase and fund these projects. This scope will also provide for a sanitary sewer analysis to determine the best option to serve this area with sanitary sewer. Serving the area with sewer will involve the construction of large-diameter sewer lines and the siting of a lift station which will involve significant effort.
Justification
The above scope is necessary to provide the information needed to facilitate the planning and funding of the public infrastructure improvement projects associated with the proposed Harvest Point development.
The Director of Engineering Services will be in attendance at the meeting to answer Council’s questions regarding the proposed funding and contract.
