FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 3, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF SHOOTING RANGE REMEDIATION AND
APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of a proposal to complete response
actions at the closed Grapevine Shooting Range by Environmental
Logistics Company, LLC, a task order by Terracon Consultants, Inc., an
ordinance appropriating the funds, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Projects Fund for an estimated amount
of$592,000
BACKGROUND: The City of Grapevine operated a shooting range on USACE property
from the mid 1980's. until 2018 when the indoor gun range at 1960
Enchanted Way was acquired. Since that time, staff has worked with the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to evaluate, plan,
remediate, and close the open-air range at 3800 Fairway Drive (TCEQ
Facility ID No. T3573/ CN600259683 / RN102468873).
We have received approval from the TCEQ to move forward with the
remediation. Working with Terracon Consultants, Inc., our on-call testing
and environmental resource, we received and evaluated bidders to
perform this specialized work. In coordination with Terracon Consultants,
staff selected Environmental Logistics Company, LLC for the project.
The work consists of the removal of 6,000 cubic yards of soil below the
Critical Protection Concentration Level (PCL) and on-site
screening/stabilization of 450 cubic yards of material to reduce the
concentration below the PLC. All material will be removed to a landfill. The
cost for this effort is $433,000 rounded to $500,000 to allow for a 15%
field contingency.
Terracon will provide oversight and all required TCEQ reporting for the
effort and closure of the site estimated at $92,000 for a total project cost of
$592,000.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing interlocal
agreements with Omnia Partners Public Sector, Region VIII Education
Service Center in Texas as allowed by Texas Local Government Code,
Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Section 791.
