Mary's Creek siphon emergency replacement
DISCUSSION
The Water Department has determined that the existing siphon sanitary (sewer creek
crossing) on Sanitary Sewer Main M-278A located on Mary's Creek, approximately 300'
east of Old Benbrook Road, has been exposed due to bank erosion This siphon section
is constantly being monitored and the bank refilled after each wash-out After the rain fall
of May 9, 1997, further bank erosion caused the exposed section to shift and wastewater
was discharged into the creek Several repair attempts were undertaken with a successful
repair completed on May 13, 1997 Further concrete encasement and bank stabilization
were completed this same week Replacement of the siphon and provisions for erosion
protection are necessary to implement a permanent repair
The work for this project includes the preparation of plans and specifications for
replacement of this siphon
Halff Associates, Inr , located at 4000 Fossil Creek Blvd , Fort Worth, TX 76137,
proposes to perform the design work for a fee not to exceed $20,000 00, based on
established hourly rates Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope
of services proposed
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3, Mapsco 87D
