MEETING DATE: August 06, 2024
DEPARTMENT: Development Services/Engineering

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of Resolution
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract in the amount of $137,125, as well as all required supplemental agreements thereto, with Kleinfelder, Inc. for professional engineering services for the Wattley Park Creek Bank Stabilization Measures Project (DR2118), for a total aggregate contract amount, inclusive of any supplemental agreements, not to exceed $165,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• In the 1950’s-60’s and prior to ownership by the city, Wattley Park was used as an undocumented landfill.
• In 2000, McKinney entered the property into the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (now Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or TCEQ) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP).
• McKinney now seeks to gain “closure” of this VCP by meeting specific conditions as set forth by TCEQ.
• The bank slope of Wattley Park adjacent to tributary 8 of the East Fork Trinity River has experienced erosion, exposing landfill debris.
• One of the closure conditions required by TCEQ is stabilization of the bank slope experiencing erosion, such that the landfill material remains covered and protected from exposure.
• This design will consider sloping the bank back by removing some fill material, and then construction of a gabion wall down to the creek bottom. Any disturbed area at the top of wall will be covered by on-site fill dirt and then vegetated for further stabilization.
• Kleinfelder has been under contract to guide the city through TCEQ permitting requirements as well as field reconnaissance that will ultimately result in closure of the VCP.
• Upon VCP closure, this portion of Wattley Park will be safely accessible for use by park goers.
• Kleinfelder submitted a proposal for the professional services needed for this project in the amount of $137,125.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• This Resolution authorizes a design contract and any necessary supplemental agreements with Kleinfelder Inc. for an amount not to exceed $165,000.
• Funds are available in the Capital Improvement Program Project DR2118.
• Upon approval of this item, $113,433 will remain in DR2118.
