| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The subject award is for construction services to improve water and/or sewer utilities in two areas of the City. The two locations were publicly bid as one project, despite being in two different locations, in order to capitalize on economy-of-scale and save money.
Greenville and Chaparral Area - As the two Cities of Allen and Plano developed, the municipality with closer infrastructure has occasionally provided service to developments that occurred before the current corporate limits existed; such was the case in the area of Greenville Avenue and Chaparral Road. The northeast corner is currently serviced by Plano for both water and sewer, but the customer resides in the city of Allen (the restaurant user, 'Saltlight Station: Coffee and Pho'). When Saltlight was originally a gas station, it resided in neither Allen or Plano, but Plano continues to serve it, even after the land has been annexed into Allen (2000). Allen city staff have now worked with city staff from Plano to sort-out this connection across city lines and have a solution to service the area with Allen infrastructure. To accomplish this, a new linkage in our water system is needed, and the existing sewer line needs to be re-routed to connect to our sewer pipes. This will allow for more streamlined future development of the northeast corner, remove the current connection for that area from the City of Plano system, and provide enhancement to our own existing system with a looped connection (eliminating dead-ends).
Butler and Austin (Central Business District) - The existing two-inch (2") water main in the alley between Main Street and Boyd Drive is undersized, has received multiple repairs over the years, and needs replacement. This project will reconstruct the piping to current standards and will also provide better fire protection with a new 6-inch main and addition of a new fire hydrant.
On September 26, 2019, six (6) bids were received. The three (3) lowest and responsive bids are below:
