$2,524,305.00, and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance estimated increasing receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects
Fund in the amount of $173,610.00 transferred from available funds within the Water & Sewer Fund; and
2. Authorize the execution of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $118,610.00 and the Addition of 300 Calendar Days to City Secretary
Contract No. 47448 with North Texas Contracting, Inc., for construction related to Water Relocation on State Highway 114, Part 3, thereby
increasing the contract amount to $2,524,305.00 (City Project No. B14062).
DISCUSSION:
On January 12, 2016, through Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) C-27603, the City Council authorized a contract with North Texas
Contracting, Inc., in the amount of $2,405,695.00, for construction related to Water Relocation on State Highway 114, Part 3. The project included
water and sanitary sewer main relocation on State Highway 114 at the S.H. 114/F.M. 156 intersections to accommodate the Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT) road -widening project of S.H. 114 from F.M. 156 (Bue Mound Road) to IH-35W.
Subsequent to the relocation of the sanitary sewer main, TXDOT conducted final grade adjustments to the immediate area, (in its right-of-way)
which resulted in 5 sanitary sewer manholes standing seven feet higher than the surrounding ground. Change Order No. 1 will allow for adjustments
to all the manholes so that they match the new topography.
The additional time is needed to allow for adjusting the manholes and for delays resulting from unsuccessful attempts to secure a railroad permit
from Union Pacific Railroad.
In addition to the change order amount, $55,000.00 is required for inspection overage on the project.

Office of Business Diversity - A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested and approved by the OBD, in
accordance with the MWBE or BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
