RE~1UEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA I~ Agenda Date Requested: July 22. 1996 Requested By: Guv Rankinl~~ Department: Planninsa Report Resolution X Ordinance Exhibits: 1. Ordinance 2. Bidder's List 3. Bid Tabulation 4. Area Map On May 24, 1996, Bruce Angel made application for a building permit for 1601 Fairmont Parkway, a proposed Diamond Shamrock convenience store at the southeast corner of Fairmont Parkway and South 16th Street. Front foot fees were collected in accordance with Ordinance 759 for both water and sewer. Water front foot fees and connection charges total 52,882.95. In the interest of engineering feasibility, it was determined to be more advantageous to extend a main in the West "K" Street right-of-way than to bore and jack Fairmont Parkway. This waterline will provide water service to the properties along the south side of Fairmont Parkway from South 16th Street to South 13th Street. The development along the south side of Fairmont Parkway will require adequate fire protection and improved water distribution. This waterline extension will provide enhanced opportunities for development. The extension places the City in a position to eventually loop the south side of Fairmont Parkway from South 13th St. to South 18th St. This 12" line represents oversizing of the 8" line required by the City's Fire Code. The project should support the development of at least four new businesses, upon which the City will be paid front foot fees. The City received four (4) bids for construction of the main on 7/11 /96. The low bidder was determined to be Johnny Wehba Backhoe Service, in the amount of 520,002.50 ISee bid tabulation attached). Recommendation Award the contract for construction to Johnny Wehba Backhoe Services in the amount of 520,002.50. Action Required by Council: Adopt an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with Johnny Wehba Backhoe Service in the amount of 520,002.50.
