® REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIISENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: Janus 23 1 95 Requested By: Charles Harrington Department: Planning X Report Resolution X Ordinance Exhibits: 1. Change Order 2. Ordinance SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Summary On May 24, 1993, City Council approved an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to incorporate necessary relocation of City utilities into the design and construction of SH 225 from 1.28 miles east of SH 134 to 0.837 miles west of SH 146. The relocation work was to facilitate, specifically, the interchange at Sens Road and SH 225. Since the City has no compensative interest in the right-of-way in which the utilities occupy, the City was liable for the entire cost of the work. The agreement was based on the engineer's cost estimate of $147,009.39 and structured so the City could pay three equal payments of $49,003.13, beginning October 1, 1993. Recommendation Additional work items were necessary to facilitate the re-establishment of fire protection and water service to businesses along the west side of the improved roadway. This is the result of the widening and relocation of the existing line which originally served them. Utilizing a portion of existing line proved to be the most cost effective method for this . The cost for this portion totaled $8,058.78, which inGuded two (2) 12" gate valves, which were inadvertently left out of the original contract. The City also requested that the line be connected to the recent construction that crossed SH 225. That total was $1,401.40. This allocation will include any previous overrun on the original agreement amount of $147,009.39 and complete the project. Action Required by Council: Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached change order and approve an ordinance allocating an additional $9,460.19 for the work.
