Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Cobb Fendley & Associates, Inc. for the DB Woods / SH 29 30" Water Line Relocation Project.
Body
This engineering services contract is for the relocation of approximately 2,400 linear feet of 30-inch raw waterline that is located within the ROW on the south side of SH 29 near DB Wood Rd. The City of Round Rock has two raw waterlines that convey raw water from Lake Georgetown to the city’s water treatment plant. One of the raw waterlines was installed in 1995 in the SH 29 ROW. Williamson County in conjunction with TxDOT is widening SH 29 near DB Wood Road and the present location of our 30-inch raw waterline would be located beneath the curb and gutter in conflict with the new storm sewer assignment. The City is in process of coordinating with the City of Georgetown (COG) to relocate our line within an existing COG utility easement outside the proposed ROW.
Cobb Fendley has been hired by Williamson County to perform the Utility Conflict Assessment for the road widening project. They are familiar with the project and working with Williamson County and TxDOT’s engineering consultants.
The Utility Staff Requests City Council to approve a contract with Cobb Fendley & Associates to perform the engineering design services for the relocation of the City's raw waterline for $111,868.
Cost: $111,868
