Summary
MEETING DATE: September 20, 2011

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of Resolution.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution authorizes a contract with North Texas Contracting, Inc. for the construction of the Aerial Crossing Replacement Project for an amount not to exceed $268,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• This project replaces sanitary sewer aerial crossings at two locations:
o Wilson Creek immediately upstream of SH 5
o Wilson Creek immediately upstream of the railroad tracks
• During flood events floating debris is often stopped by the concrete piers that support the aerial crossings, resulting in erosion where the water flows between the debris and the creek bank.
• The proposed design does not include piers located in the center of the creek, thereby significantly reducing the maintenance cost associated with the removal of the debris.
• RJN Group prepared the construction plans for this project.
• Three base bids for this project were received on September 1, 2011. The following is a summary of the bids:
