Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract with Chasco Constructors for the Dry Branch Tributaries Channel Improvements Project.
Body
The Dry Branch Tributaries Channel Improvements project will provide improvements for a portion of Dry Branch and an unnamed tributary to Dry Branch. These tributaries are just north of Gattis School Road near the Joyce Lane and Ray Berglund Boulevard residential neighborhoods; generally speaking just east of the South Creek Residential neighborhood and just west of Double Creek Drive. The project will provide conveyance improvements for flood control and will correct erosion and protect City wastewater infrastructure. The Dry Branch improvements specifically will in effect relocate a portion of Dry Branch that would have more or less bisected a residential property on Joyce Lane if it were to be improved in its current location.Bidders were notified that the project was being bid under Texas Government Code Chapter 2269 which allows the City to consider criteria other than just bid price.Six bids were received for the project. Upon review of the bids and supporting information provided by the bidders, and discussions with the City’s engineer, City staff believes that the City should select the Base Bid including the substitutions under Add Alternates 1 and 2; and that Chasco Constructors has submitted the lowest responislbe bid to the City, considering the criteria of Texas Government Code Chapter 2269, for a total estimated contract of $1,328,052; see the attached letter of recommendation. The cost estimate for the Base Bid prior to receipt of bids was approximately $1,500,000.
