HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGERVI----�
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 5, 2016
SUBJECT: DFW CONNECTOR — FM 2499 UTILITY RELOCATION FINAL
PAYMENT
City Council consider approving a complete and final payment to Northgate Constructors in
an amount of $210,217.84 for the Water and Wastewater Relocations required of the City
for the FM 2499 construction project, adopting an ordinance amending the FY 16 Capital
Projects Budget, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are programmed and available for this project in utility account 200-48930-534-8-
000005 WA and 200-48940-534-8-000005 SW.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The construction of the DFW Connector project necessitated the relocation and adjustment
of City water and wastewater facilities throughout the corridor. These relocations and
adjustments were performed under a Master Utility Agreement with Northgate Constructors
approved by City Council on March 16, 2010.
Northgate Constructors agreed with TxDOT to construct the FM 2499 project in far
northeast Grapevine as a change order to the DFW Connector project. As was the case
with the Connector project, it was desirable to contract with Northgate Constructors to
design and relocate our water and wastewater facilities as their design/build process
evolved on FM 2499.
By following the same process we utilized with Northgate on the Connector Project, we
were again able to streamline the process. Most importantly, we were able to take
advantage of their large engineering staff on site and their subcontractors under contract to
undertake adjustments with very little lead time and with the ability to quickly adapt to an
evolving schedule.
The relocations included the provision of a Water and Wastewater stubout from the new
lines to the City's 135 acre tract bordering FM 2499.
Staff recommends approval.
