RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of Resolution.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution will authorize additional funding for North Texas Contracting, Inc, to complete the construction of the Custer Road Utility Relocation Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The utility relocation project along Custer Road from Stonebridge Drive to US 380 is nearly complete.
• The only substantial work remaining is the relocation of fire hydrants that were installed in locations that conflict with the proposed roadway currently under construction.
• The total amount required for the hydrant relocations is $35,832. However, these funds are not being provided by the City.
• The design engineer, CP&Y, Inc., and the contractor, North Texas Contracting have both agreed to equally share in the cost necessary to relocate the hydrants to acceptable locations.
• To facilitate payment to the contractor CP&Y will provide half of the funds, $17,916, to the City.
• The City will increase the construction contract with North Texas Contracting by that amount and will pay those funds to the contractor for the work.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The original contract with North Texas Contracting for this project was approved on June 17, 2008, for an amount not to exceed $6,460,000.
• This Resolution will increase that amount by $30,000 to $6,490,000.
• Funding is available in the Capital Improvements Program in WA3022.
