MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
-?W,
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2012
SUBJECT: DENTON CREEK EROSION CONTROL -- AWARD OF
MATERIALS TESTING CONTRACT
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider awarding the Denton Creek Erosion Control Construction Project
Materials Testing contract to Fugro Consultants, Inc. in the amount of $36,952.00,
authorize staff to execute the contract and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
The Silver Oaks apartments, adjacent to the project, are contributing half of the
construction cost.
Funds for this project are available for the following sources
SDUS 116- 48941 - 535 -1- 000012
Parks 174 -74015 -076
Silver Oaks Apartment Contribution 116 - 12104- 535 -1- 000012
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Over the last several years, surface flow within Denton Creek and overland flow from the
adjacent apartments have eroded and undermined the hike and bike trail along Denton
Creek.
The scope of this project is the reconstruction of 290 linear feet (LF) of the Denton Creek
bank with a Gabion Basket wall and the reconstruction of 330 LF of trail including inlets and
pipes to provide drainage from the apartment.
These improvements will contribute to the upgrade of the areas by repairing the erosion
that has made the trail unusable and providing drainage that should prevent future erosion
in these areas.
Fugro Consultants, Inc. has been used in the past by the City of Grapevine with very good
results.
Staff recommends approval.
