STATION AND GROUND STORAGE RESERVOIR
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Project Fund in the amount of $2,627,720.00 from impact fees; and
2. Authorize the transfer of $2,627,720.00 from one Water Capital Project Fund to another Water
Capital Project Fund; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Project Fund in the amount of $2,627,720.00; and
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Archer-Western Contractors,
Ltd. for construction of North Side pump station and ground storage reservoir on the low bid of
$5,196,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
On March 16, 1999 (M&C C-17322), the City Council authorized the execution of an engineering
contract with Camp, Dresser, & McKee, Inc., for the hydraulic evaluation, the design and preparation of
plans and the specifications for the Northside II Pressure Plane pump station and ground storage tank
(Cantrell-Samson pump station).
Evaluations of the Northside II and III pressure planes have indicated that the growth in North Tarrant
County will require additional water supply to save retail and wholesale customers. The existing
distribution system, served by the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant, lacks the redundancy and
capacity to meet long-term demand in this area. The new North Side pump station and associated
transmission mains will address the capacity and reliability limitation.
This project consists of the construction of a new 25 million gallons per day (MGD) pump station with
expansion capability for future demand and the construction of a new 4million-gallon ground storage
tank. Demolition of the existing concrete tank on the site is required due to the age of the tank and to
allow space on the site for construction of the pump station.
On January 16, 2003, the following bids were received:
