DISCUSSION:
On June 27, 2023, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 23-0544 authorized an engineering agreement in the amount of $1,143,312.00 with
Freese and Nichols, Inc. (City Secretary Contract No. 59868) for design of the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main and Gravity Main. The project
provided for the design of an 11.5 Million Gallons Per Day Lift Station A("LSA") along with Force and Gravity Mains to accommodate continued
growth on the east side of Eagle Mountain Lake.
Amendment No. 1 will provide for the design for a 10.5 Million Gallons Per Day Lift Station B("LSB") that in conjunction with LSA, will provide
sanitary sewer service to the area west of Morris Dido Newark Road and south of Peden Road.
Freese and Nichols, Inc. proposes to provide the necessary design services for the lift station and related appurtenances for a fee of
$1,009,580.00. Staff considers the proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $66,000.00 is required for project management.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its CIP plan throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as
projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants.
Funding is available in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Rev Bonds Series 2024 Fund for purpose of funding the Bonds Ranch
LS(B)/FM/GM project.
Funding for the Bonds Ranch Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Main Project is depicted below:
