RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Appropriations Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $500,000.00 from available funds for the 2018 Water Lead Services Replacement Contract to fund the Second Renewal of City Secretary Contract No. 50061 with Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC, for the 2018 Water Lead Services Replacement Contract (City Project No. 101100).

 
DISCUSSION:

On December 5, 2017, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-28499) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract in the amount of $450,000.00 with the option of three renewals, subject to appropriated funding with Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC, for the 2018 Water Lead Services Replacement Contract (City Secretary Contract No. 50061).

On August 7, 2018, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-28777) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute the first of three optional contract renewals in the amount of $450,000.00, with Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC, for the 2018 Water Lead Services Replacement Contract and pre-authorized two additional renewals.

The City and the Contractor desire to exercise the second renewal of the contract in the amount of $450,000.00 and with the same terms and conditions. This renewal increases the total project amount to $900,000.00.  

The work to be performed under this contract consists of replacing water services that have been identified as lead water services. This contract is necessary to maintain quality water service by augmenting Water Field Operation's efforts in removing lead services from the water system in a timely manner.

In addition to the contract amount, $50,000.00 is required for project management, material testing and inspection.

This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when completed. Construction is expected to start April 2019 and be completed by April 2020 or when the contract amount is exhausted.

This project is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
