Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Solid Waste Fund by $903,529.00, and decreasing unreserved retained earnings by the same amount; 2. Authorize the Transfer of $903,529.00 from the Solid Waste Fund to the Solid Waste Capital improvements Fund; 3.

DISCUSSION: The City's Southeast Landfill is accessible through the City of Kennedale via Dick Price Road. In the past two years, accessibility to the landfill has become a point of contention between the two cities. in order to provide better ingress and egress for garbage trucks to the landfill, City staff recommends that an alternate roadway be constructed that will provide unlimited all-weather access to the City's facility. After considering several alternatives, it was determined that the best alternate was to provide access to the landfill from I.H. 20. The scope of the project consists of the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of Landitq Access Road from the City's southeast landfill weigh station to I.H. 20 and the I.H. 20 Access Road to the Landf II Access Road. DeOtte, inc., proposes to perform the necessary engineering design and survey work for a lump sum fee of $790,920.00. City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed. In addition to the contract amount, $112,605.00 is required for project management by the Engineering Department. DeOtte, inc., is in compliance with the City's M/11VBE Ordinance by committing to 28.% M/WBE participation. The City's goal on the project is 26°/a.
