LOG NAME: 30ROSEDALE13GAR REFERENCE NO.: **C-21975
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 13 to Engineering Agreement with LopezGarcia Group for
Water and Sanitary Sewer Main Line Relocations for Rosedale Street (U.S. 287 to Forest Park
Boulevard) and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (City Project No. 00138)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $118,765.00 from the Water and Sewer Operating Fund to the Water Capital
Project Fund in the amount of $53,925.00 and Sewer Capital project Fund in the amount of $64,840.00;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Project Fund in the amount of $53,925.00 and the Sewer Capital Project Fund in the amount
of $64,840.00; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 13 to City Secretary Contract No. 24833 with
LopezGarcia Group in the amount of $104,565.00 to provide additional engineering services, thereby
increasing the contract amount to $698,486.50. Subsequent amendments, if necessary, will be processed
administratively up to a $25,000 total.
DISCUSSION:
On March 23, 1999, (M&C C-17334) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an
engineering agreement with LopezGarcia Group in the amount of $412,908 for the preparation of plans and
specifications for water and sanitary sewer line relocations for Rosedale Street (U.S. Highway 287 to Forest
Park Boulevard).
The relocations are necessary to facilitate the pavement reconstruction of Rosedale Street that is being
managed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). In order to expedite construction, the water
and sanitary sewer line relocation project was divided into three parts, Contracts 1, 2 and 3. Contract No. 1
(I.H. 35W to S. Main Street) and Contract No. 2 (S. Main Street to Forest Park Boulevard) are complete,
while Contract 3 (I-35 to U.S. 287) will be advertised for bid at a future date.
The agreement was subsequently revised by 12 previous amendments totaling $181,013.50 as follows:
• Amendment 1 (M&C C-17867, February 22, 2000) in the amount of $40,765.00, provided
design for the replacement of several connecting severely deteriorated water and sanitary
mains;
• Amendment 2 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on August 8, 2001) in the
Logname: 30ROSEDALEI3GAR Page 1 of 3
amount of $9,830.00, allowed for increasing the size of some project water mains in order
to provide increased capacity;
• Amendment 3 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on October 19, 2001) in
the amount of $3,660.00, provided additional sewer design to accommodate new
development within the project area;
• Amendment No. 4 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on October 19, 2001)
in the amount of $12,500.00, allowed for the preparation of a master traffic control plan
for the project;
• Amendment No. 5 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on January 20, 2002)
in the amount of $14,775.00, allowed for the redesign of a project sewer main in order to
accommodate proposed conflicting 72-inch storm drain pipe at the Rosedale Street/12th
Avenue/9th Street intersection;
• Amendment No. 6 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on March 13, 2002)
in the amount of $23,203.00, provide survey and design for the relocation of an existing
30-inch water main located between 9th and 12th Avenues and the incorporation into
this project, a segment of TxDOT's storm drain plans into this project;
• Amendment No. 7 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on May 8, 2002) in
the amount of $10,742.00, allowed the project plans and specifications to be revised for
the relocation of a segment of sanitary sewer main M-30; and
• Amendment No. 8 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on August 19, 2002) in
the amount of $12,076.00, allowed the project plans to be separated into three independent
contracts for bidding and construction purposes;
• Amendment No. 9 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on September 4, 2002)
in the amount of $5,034.75, provided design for increasing the size of a project water main
as well as the addition of extra gate valves in order to better isolate water systems within the
hospital district;
• Amendment No. 10 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on September 26, 2002)
in the amount of $23,415.00, provided design for increasing the sizes of three project mains
to provide increased capacity for projected development;
• Amendment No. 11 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on October 18, 2002)
in the amount of $11,057.75, provided for additional design and survey to extend some
project water mains beyond the original projects limits and the relocation of a project
sanitary sewer main; and
• Amendment No. 12 (Administratively approved by the City Manager on May 12, 2004)
in the amount of $13,955.00, allowed for the incorporation into this project, of some
connecting water mains that had been designed by another consultant and the preparation
of storm water pollution prevention in plans.
Amendment No. 13 will provide the design changes for the additional water and sanitary sewer line
relocations due to TxDOT's decision to reduce proposed 28 feet wide median to 16 feet and the elimination
of right-turn lanes and bus turn-outs. The revised paving limits extend further north and south along several
intersecting streets necessitating increases in the replacement lengths of existing water and sewer mains.
Additional survey and design is also necessary for the replacements of these lines.

It has been determined by staff that it is necessary to separate the Contract No. 3 plans into two separate
plans in order to expedite construction of the remaining project.
LopezGarcia Group, proposes to perform the necessary design work for a lump sum fee of $104,565.00.
City Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $14,200 (Water $6,150; and Sewer $8,050) is required for project
management by the Engineering Department.
LopezGarcia Group, is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 24 percent M/WBE
participation on this amendment. The City's goal on the project is 13 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5 and 8, Mapsco 77M, 78J, K, L, M, 79J, K, L and M.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of
the Water and the Sewer Capital Project Funds.
