|
| | | | | | | | ACTION PROPOSED: | Authorize the City Manager to purchase Water Line Materials from Thompson Pipe Group - Pressure, Inc. in the amount of $110,876 for the Allenwood Drainage Improvements Project. |
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Allenwood drainage basin has been developing over the years to the point that improvements to an existing detention pond currently owned by the Allen Economic Development Corporation are needed. During the consultant's design of the improvements, it was determined that an existing 24" waterline would conflict with the detention pond's new outfall channel. This conflict requires the existing waterline to be lowered to accommodate the proposed detention pond improvements.
The entire project was initially put out for bid and prices came in over budget. To lower the cost of the overall project, staff has chosen to construct the waterline components under a separate contract. Furthermore, this waterline lowering requires a long lead-time to manufacture the pipe. Consequently, this work can proceed, while the remainder of the project is prepared for rebidding.
This item is only the purchase of the materials and does not include installation. Once the materials are ordered, lead time for delivery is 6-8 weeks. During this time, staff will advertise for bids to install the 24" waterline improvements.
|
| | | | | | | | BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding for this purchase will come from unallocated non-bond water and sewer funds within the Capital Improvement Plan.
|
| | | | | | | | STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to purchase Water Line Materials from Thompson Pipe Group - Pressure, Inc. in the amount of $110,876 for the Allenwood Drainage Improvements Project.
