CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
2/21/2023
Agenda Item Number: 2.b.
Agenda Item: Consider authorizing the City Manager to award the construction contract for AJ-11 Basin
Gravity Sewer Improvements Project, ID 21-04-01.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Engineering
Presenter:
Kathlie Jeng-Bulloch, City Engineer
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with
R Construction Civil, LLC in the amount of $2,295,567.75 for the construction of the AJ-11 Basin Gravity
Sewer Improvement Project, ID 21-04-01.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #4, Infrastructure - Ensure the quality of the City utilities, transportation and
physical structures so that the City’s core services can be provided in an effective and efficient manner.
Discussion:
Discussion: According to the 2016 Water and Wastewater Condition and Capacity Assessment Studies,
the AJ-11 Basin Gravity Sewer Improvement project was identified as one of the projects to be
considered for implementation during 2016-2021 period.
The existing gravity sewer lines in this area lack capacity to convey peak wet weather flows and are
hindering future development. This proposed upsizing provides capacity for future growth, needed
additional capacity for peak wet weather flows, and will prevent surcharging.
This improvement project includes: (1) 45 feet of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch gravity
sewer lines; (2) 4,984 feet of 18-inch gravity sewer lines, and (3) 4,908 feet of 24-inch gravity sewer lines
(approximately).
Seven base bids, seven Alternate No 1, and seven Alternate No 2 were received for the project.
Base Bid
• R Construction Civil, LLC $2,295,567.75
• 5-T Utilities, Inc. $2,366,615.66
• Doughtie Construction Co., Inc. $2,457,242.50
• Blazey Construction Services, LLC $2,802,241.77
• Solid Bridge Construction $2,992,213.00
• Main Lane Industries, Ltd $3,313,516.80
• Western Municipal Construction $5,055,080.00
Page 30 of 53
Alternate No 1 is to install 4,908 feet of 21-inch gravity sewer lines instead of the Base Bid which is to
install 4,908 feet of 24-inch gravity sewer lines. Alternative No 2 is to install 4,984 feet of 15-inch gravity
sewer lines instead of the Base Bid which is to install 4,984 feet of 18-inch.

$7,611,378.50
The recommended contract award is for the base bid of $2,295,567.75 only. The base bid provides the
greatest amount of future capacity for the area as the alternate bids would reduce the pipe diameters.
The Base Bid does not include contingencies. A 10% contingency ($229,557.00) will be added to the
Base Bid of R Construction Civil LLC for the budget purpose for a total of $2,525,124.0.
The budgeted amount approved in the FY2020/2021 Budget Amendments (May 4, 2021) was

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
2/21/2023
Agenda Item Number: 2.c.
Agenda Item: Consider authorizing the City Manager to award the construction contract for Elkins Lake
#1 Lift Station Rehabilitation Project, ID 20-10-05.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Engineering
Presenter:
Kathlie Jeng-Bulloch, City Engineer
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with
B & B Plumbing Construction, Inc. in the amount of $470,646.00 for the construction of the Elkins Lake
Lift Station #1 Rehabilitation Project, ID 20-10-05.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #4, Infrastructure - Ensure the quality of the City utilities, transportation and
physical structures so that the City’s core services can be provided in an effective and efficient manner.
Discussion:
Discussion: According to the 2016 Water and Wastewater Condition and Capacity Assessment Studies,
the Elkins Lake #1 Lift Station, located in the north part of Elkins Lake Subdivision, was rated being in
poor condition and classified under the high-risk category.
The lift station needs rehabilitation on a priority basis, with regards to most components, which include
pumps and motors, instrumentation, structure, piping & valves, electrical and site improvements. (See
pictures attached)
This project includes the complete rehabilitation of Elkins Lake Lift Station #1, including removal and
replacement of the wet well, pumps, piping and appurtenances, and electrical equipment.
Prior to FY2019/2020 CIP Budget, this project was planned in the Public Works Operation Budget with
only $150,000 for maintenance purposes. The project only included replacing the Wet Well, and the
budget estimated was based on a similar condition to the TXDOT #1 Rest Area project.
This project was transferred to the Engineering Department for the CIP Design and Construction in
FY2019/2020. The NB-06 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project design, which discharging into the
Elkins Lake #1 Lift Station, identified that the Elkins Lake #1 Wet Well Elevation will have to be lowered
to approximately 6 feet due to the proposed slope of the incoming sewer line, and the pump size will
have to be increased. The main existing sewer line was flat, and creating sediment build up, blocking
the sewer flow.
Package plant option, with hopeful potential savings of 50% was mentioned during the design process.
Kimley Horn prepared different bid alternates for a possible construction saving.
