Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Randall Jones Engineering for the Arterial "H" 16-inch Waterline Project.
Body
The Preserve at Stone Oak's elevation prevents the City from being able to distribute adequate water pressure without the use of a small booster pump station. This project would allow the City to serve this subdivision with higher pressure by delivering BCRUA water from Lake Travis through our Treated Water Transmission Line - Segment 3.
This project will consist of constructing approximately 4,300 L.F. of 16-inch water line from the Segment 3 line that terminates at C.R. 175 to an existing 12-inch water line that ends at the west end of Arterial "H" in Mayfield Ranch.
It has become necessary to construct this project in order to furnish water service for the development of the Palmer Tract which is located north of Vista Oaks and east of C.R. 175. The developer of the Palmer Tract will be responsible for the design and construction cost associated with a 12-inch line which is necessary to serve their development. The City will be responsible for the cost difference between a 12-inch and the 16-inch waterline. It is anticipated that the waterline will be constructed with the Arterial H roadway project.
The City Utility staff recommends the Mayor to execute a contract with Randall Jones Engineering for the amount of $40,000 for the design of this waterline.
Cost: $40,000.00
Source of Funds: Self-financed Water Construction Fund
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
