ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract and all necessary change orders with Coppell Construction Co. for the construction of the Bloomdale Road Extension Project (ST4227) and Redbud Pump Station Transmission Line (850PP) Phase 1 Project (WA4340), for a total aggregate contract amount, inclusive of any change orders, not to exceed $14,000,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc. has completed the design and construction plans for the Bloomdale Road Extension Project (ST4227).
• BGE, Inc. prepared the design and associated construction plans for the Redbud Pump Station Transmission Line (850PP) Project (WA4340). The western portion of the project overlaps the limits of the proposed Bloomdale Road Extension project and has been included as “Phase 1” along with the roadway improvements. The remaining “Phase 2” of WA4340 is to be constructed under a separate contract.
• The overall project includes the construction of 2,630 feet of 42” water transmission main from the intersection of Community Avenue to Hardin Boulevard servicing the City’s 850 water service area (WA4340) as well as a new alignment of Bloomdale Road from its current terminus at Community Avenue to County Road 164 (west of the future intersection with Hardin Boulevard) (ST4227).
• The proposed extension of Bloomdale Road includes a 4-lane (6-lane ultimate) divided roadway from Community Avenue to 400’ east of future Hardin Boulevard and a 2-lane (6-lane ultimate) roadway from 400’ east of future Hardin Boulevard to a connection with County Road 164. An aesthetically enhanced bridge structure will be constructed over the NRCS Reservoir Site 17.
• The proposed water transmission line will distribute water from the new Redbud Pump Station (expected to be operational early 2020) to service the additional water demand from the City’s 850 service area and improve redundancy in the overall water distribution network.
