and the execution of Amendment No. 3 in the amount of $320,000.00 to an engineering

was subsequently revised by Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $305,400.00, authorized
December 10, 2024 (M&C 24-1135) that primarily provided design for two inverted siphons
that are necessary on the project and design for a 16 -inch water main that will connect a

*Acadia Services, LLC submitted an incomplete bid and is determined to be non -responsive
to the contract documents.
** In an attempt to obtain alternative and competitive prices for the large diameter sanitary
sewer manholes, the project was advertised with alternate bid items for cast -in -place
concrete manholes and pre -cast polymer concrete manholes. Staff recommends award of
contract to Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC for Total A which includes the cast -in -place
concrete manhole alternate.
SMALL BUSINESS (SB) GOAL - Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC is in compliance with the City's
Small Business Program by committing to 31.4% participation.
In addition to the contract cost, $635,650.25 (Water: $175,056.00; Sewer: $460,594.25) is
required for project management, material testing and inspection and $499,578.00 (Water:
$183,128.00; Sewer: $316,450.00) is provided for project contingency.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when
completed.
Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the
appropriation authority authorized under Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be
used to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated
with this project is sold, bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached Reimbursement Resolution.
Under federal law, debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these
expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not obligate the City
to sell bonds, but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond
proceeds.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program
(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 budgeted in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Bonds Series 2026B
Fund and in the Water/ Wastewater Wholesale Impact Fees and Water/Wastewater Retail
