Summary
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2014
DEPARTMENT: Development Services/Engineering
CONTACT: Michael Hebert, PE, Assistant Director of Engineering
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
· Approve Resolution
ITEM SUMMARY:
· This item authorizes the City Manager to enter into an agreement with M/I Homes of DFW, LLC regarding incentives for improvements benefitting both the City of McKinney and the Park Ridge Development.
· A partnership between the City and the developer of Park Ridge was formed to provide the lowest possible cost for all parties in the installation of a sanitary sewer to serve both projects.
· The sites are located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Hardin Boulevard and Virginia Parkway as shown on the attached exhibit.
· The Agreement authorizes $95,000 of City funding towards the construction of a sanitary sewer.
· The developer of Park Ridge, M/I Homes of DFW, LLC, is responsible for the remaining contract cost, currently estimated at approximately $82,000 and for construction administration.
· Attached is the lowest bid as submitted by RKM Utilities for the project.
· The original engineer for the Inwood Hills subdivision contributed the survey and design of the sanitary sewer due to the issue stated under "Background Information".
· The developer will manage the installation of the proposed sanitary sewer along with the installation of on-site utilities. This helps reduce the cost of bids for the construction due to economies of scale.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
· The city-owned site (future need) and some of the lower elevation sections of the Park Ridge site (current need) will require sanitary sewer service which is currently available through the existing Inwood Hills system.
· Although a sanitary sewer pipe was installed within the Inwood Hills subdivision to serve part of the Park Ridge development, an easement was not recorded on the Inwood Hills plat. A house was built over that pipe, so the line cannot be utilized as a public line. The location is shown on the attached map.
· The consulting engineer for the Inwood Hills development provided construction drawings for the proposed sewer with no charge to the city.
· The line through the city-owned site was the best method of serving both the proposed development and a future City facility.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
· $100,000 is available in WW 4352 to fulfill the City's obligations of this agreement. The estimated cost of the City's portion of the installation is $95,000 which will leave $5,000 in the account. The attached Resolution shows these funds being allocated for this project from that account.
