MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 4, 2009
SUBJECT: WATERLINE OVERSIZING REIMBURSEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider authorizing waterline oversizing reimbursement to Oncor Electric
Delivery in the amount of$14,000, for the construction of a 12-inch waterline along State
Highway 360 between Pavestone and the Oncor Substation, authorize staff to issue
payment to Oncor Electric Delivery once the line is accepted by the City, and take any
necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are available in the Water Impact Fee account 200-48930-534-6-000004.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Oncor Electric Delivery has completed an upgrade to their existing substation development
along State Highway 360 between Pavestone and Grapevine-Euless Road on the north
side of State Highway 360. Oncor was required to oversize a waterline to accommodate
the City's Water Master Plan.
Under normal development conditions, this development would be required to construct an
8-inch waterline, which is adequate to provide service for this type of development. The
City Code provides for the City of Grapevine to refund private developments for the
oversizing costs attributable to the difference in costs of lines necessary for their
development compared to lines required by the City's Master Plans.
The developer has submitted his costs of$48.00 per linear foot for the 12-inch waterline
based on his bid from Utilitex Construction, LLP. For comparison, bid prices for an 8-inch
waterline equates to $37.50 per linear foot. The net oversizing costs and related
appurtenances cost that will be owed to the development at the time of City acceptance for
this waterline is $14,000.
Staff has compared the 8-inch and 12-inch waterline costs to other 8-inch and 12-inch
waterline costs from recent projects. The costs reflected in the request are comparable to
other waterline costs for the same line sizes. Therefore, staff feels that the prices
presented by the developer are reasonable costs for this type of work.
Staff recommends approval.
