LOG NAME: 60SENDERA RANCH PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS
SUBJECT
Authorize Execution of a Service Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC in the Amount of $147,233.14 to Provide a Secondary
Electric Feed to the Sendera Pump Station and Generator Upgrade, Provide for Equipment Purchases, (Collectively, the Sendera Ranch Pump
Station Improvements, Capital Project No. 102231), a Component of the Total Project Amount of $600,000.00, and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations for the Sendera Ranch Pump Station
Improvements Project in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $600,000.00 from available funds; and
2. Authorize the execution of an Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC in the amount of $147,233.14 to provide a secondary
electric feed to the Sendera Pump Station (City Project No. 102231).
DISCUSSION:
The Sendera Ranch Pump Station has six medium voltage pumps operating at 4160 Volts. The pump station has become a critical element with
respect to the city's ability to provide water service to the community in this area due to increased and anticipated development.
Frequent storms in the spring and summer caused power outages that also impacted the Sendera Pump Station which has only one electrical
supply service. Additionally, the current generator at this pump station does not have the capacity to run the pumps and most other electrical
equipment at the site during these power outages. In storm events, staff must transport a large portable generator capable of running the pumps
and other equipment at the site to ensure service to our customers is uninterrupted.
Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC, proposes to provide the pump station with a secondary feed to supplement the existing feed, giving the
site additional protection against power outages, for a fee of $147,233.14.
Gupta and Associates, Inc. proposes to provide the necessary design services for a fee of $33,415.00.
Staff considers the proposed fees to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
The total project cost of $600,000.00 is inclusive of the agreements mentioned above and the purchase of a larger generator and pump as well as
other supporting equipment which will be installed by City staff.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
