FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JUNE 18, 2019
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR DESIGN OF WATER AND NATURAL
GAS LINE EXTENSIONS AT THE GRAPEVINE GOLF COURSE AND
APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider a design contract with Baird, Hampton & Brown
for the design of water and natural gas line extensions at the Grapevine
Golf Course and consider an ordinance appropriating funds for
engineering services.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval, funds in an estimated amount of $215,000 will be
available in the Utility Enterprise Capital Fund 201.
BACKGROUND: The City of Grapevine identified a need to extend a public water line and a
natural gas line to the existing Grapevine Golf Course and the proposed
new clubhouse to enhance the capacity and reliability of the water line,
including fire protection and to provide natural gas for the clubhouse and
concourse.
It is proposed to extend an 8 -inch water line and a 4 -inch gas line from
Grapevine Mills Parkway around the north side of the golf course.The
water line will be 8,800 linear feet and will tie into an existing water line
near Denton Creek. The gas line will be 5,200 linear feet and tie into the
existing facilities and proposed clubhouse.
The water and gas will follow the same alignment due to permitting
requirements on Corps of Engineers property. Designing the two together
will help to avoid future utility conflicts with the water line.
Staff recommends approval.
