COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/27/2007 -Ordinance No. # 17879-11-2007
DATE: Tuesday, November 27, 2007
LOG NAME: 30SSMAIN253 REFERENCE NO.: ~*C-22534
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 29007 with Transystems
Corporation Consultants for Additional Services Related to Sanitary Sewer Main 253 Replacement
and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $35,243 from the Water and Sewer Operating Fund to the Sewer Capital
Projects Fund;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $35,243 from available funds; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the City Secretary Contract No. 29007 with
Transystems Corporation Consultants for additional services related to Sanitary Sewer Main 253
Replacement in the amount of $35,243, thereby increasing the contract to $925,578.
DISCUSSION:
On July 29, 2003, (M&C C-19678) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an engineering
agreement with Transystems Corporation Consultants for Sanitary Sewer Main 253 Replacement for a fee
not to exceed $890,335.
Amendment No. 1 provides for Archeological Investigation of the proposed replacement of Sanitary Sewer
Main 253 required by the Texas Water Development Board for State Revolving Funds (SRF). These
services were not included in the original scope.
City staff considers the proposed fee of $35,243 to be fair and reasonable for the scope of additional
services to be performed.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 5.
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 Sewer Capital Projects Fund.
