ITEM SUMMARY:
• This item authorizes the City Manager to enter into an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) for the construction and connection of NTMWD’s meter vault and related improvements that will tie into the City’s proposed Redbud Pump Station project.
• The proposed agreement states that NTMWD will provide the City with the construction plans and funding necessary to construct the NTMWD meter vault and related improvements, to be constructed by the City and contemporaneously with the construction of the Redbud Pump Station facility.
• The City is currently in the process of designing and preparing bid documents with which to select a general contractor to construct the new pump station facility.
• NTMWD has requested that the City include the NTMWD project in the competitive bid documents for the Redbud Pump Station facility, as an alternate bid item to afford NTMWD and the City an opportunity to coordinate the construction of the two projects and to complete both projects at or about the same time.
• Once the qualified bidder has been chosen by the City and accepted by NTMWD, NTMWD will escrow 125% of the bid amount for the NTMWD component of the project. Any amount of escrow remaining at the close of the project will be returned to NTMWD. The current cost estimate for meter vault and related improvements is $1,959,000.
