Agenda Item No:4.3
CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item Report
Meeting Date: July 21, 2020
Submitted by: Robert Kotasek
Submitting Department: Engineering
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section:
Subject:
Consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to reject a bid from Mario Sinacola & Sons
Excavating, Inc., in the amount of $3,630,599.00 for the Grandscape Phase 2 Public Improvements Project.
(Hartline)
Suggested Action:
Summary of Request: Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to reject a bid in the
amount of $3,630,599.00 with Mario Sinacola & Sons Excavating, Inc. for the Grandscape Phase 2 Public
Improvements Project.
Background:
On October 2, 2019, City Council approved a resolution amending the Intergovernmental Agreement for the
South Colony Boulevard Extension at the Sam Rayburn Tollway with the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA),
The Colony Local Development Corporation and the City of The Colony. The approved amendment will allow
the city to construct the final phase ramp access for the South Colony Boulevard/ SH 121 bridge.
The project will include the reconstruction of the access ramp from the SH-121 frontage road and will connect
the ramp to the bridge structure which will add the needed left turn connectivity to northbound South Colony
Boulevard. This access ramp has the advantages of having less impact to the NTTA main lanes and frontage
roads during construction, lessens the potential for crashes at the top of the diverging diamond intersection and
will reduce the cost and time needed for the construction of the project. See the attached exhibit showing the
new access ramp configuration from the frontage road to the bridge structure.
The project design has been completed and the project was recently advertised for bid. The bids were opened
on June 9, 2020 and one bid was received from Mario Sinacola & Sons Excavating, Inc. at a bid price of $
3,630,599.00. This bid price was substantially higher than the Design Engineer’s construction cost estimate of
$ 1,855,020.65. Since only one bid was received and the bid was substantially higher than the engineers cost
estimate, staff recommends that this bid be rejected and the project rebid.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the bid from Mario Sinacola & Sons Excavating, Inc. for the Grandscape Phase 2 Public
Improvements Project be rejected and the project rebid.
Suggested motion:
I move to recommend approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to reject a bid in the amount of
$3,630,599.00 with Mario Sinacola & Sons Excavating, Inc. for the Grandscape Phase 2 Public Improvements
Project.

(Arthur)
Suggested Action:
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The city of The Colony currently has a drought contingency plan shown in our code of ordinances as Chapter
12, Article VI, Sections 12-118.1 and 12-118.2 in addition to a water conservation plan that was adopted by
council on May 18, 2009. Title 30, Chapter 288, Rle 288.2(c) of the Texas Administrative Code requires the city
to review and update, as appropriate, the drought contingency plan, at least every (5) years, based on new or
updated information, such as the adoption or revision of the regional water plan in addition to reviewing and
updating its water conservation plan, as appropriate, based on an assessment of previous five-year and
ten-year targets and any other new or updated information. Staff has reviewed the drought contingency plan
contained in our ordinance and determined that the provisions are appropriate for the city and do not require
further amendment. With regard to the water conservation plan, staff has determined that it would be in the
city's best interest for City Council to adopt a revised 2019 conservation plan.
BACKGROUND:
On an annual basis staff is required to provide various reports to TCEQ. Every five years we are required to
update both the water conservation plan and drought contingency plan if appropriate.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the proposed water conservation plan submitted to the Texas Water
Development Board in 2019.

Water Conservation Plan
for the City of The Colony Water Utilities
1.0 Introduction
The Colony Water Utilities is a retail provider of water in The Colony that currently serves over 40
Thousand people within a 16 square mile service area.
The Colony has actively procured water supplies from Dallas Water Utilities, Plano Water Utilities
and developed well water treatment facilities which make it possible for The Colony to provide
water to its customers. In Calendar Year (CY) 2018, The Colony delivered over 1.8 billion gallons
of treated water. As the population grows demand for service increase and in order to meet demand
The Colony must plan for increasing the available water supply and expanding its transmission,
treatment, and distribution facilities. The Colony considers water conservation an integral part of
this planning process.
The City has had a water conservation program since the late 1990’s. In 2009, The Colony
increased its conservation efforts with the amendment of “Chapter 12 MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
AND SERVICES,” of The Colony Code of Ordinances to include, CONSERVATION
MEASURESRELATING TO LAWNANDLANDSCAPEIRRIGATION.
1.1 State of Texas Requirements
The Texas Administrative Code Title 30, Chapter 288 (30 TAC § 288) requires holders of an
existing permit, certified filing, or certificate of adjudication for the appropriation of surface water
in the amount of 1,000 acre-feet a year or more for municipal, industrial, and other non-irrigation
uses to develop, submit, and implement a water conservation plan and to update it according to a
specified schedule. As such, the City is subject to this requirement. Because the City provides water
as a municipal public water supplier, the City’s Water Conservation Plan must include information
necessary to comply with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements for
each of these designations.1
The requirements of Subchapter A that must be included in the City of The Colony’s Water
Conservation Plan are summarized below.
Minimum Requirements for Municipal Public and Wholesale Water Suppliers
Utility Profile: Includes information regarding population and customer data, water use
data (including total gallons per capita per day (GPCD) and residential GPCD), water
supply system data, and wastewater system data. (Sections 3 and 4; Appendix A)
Description of the Wholesaler’s Service Area: Includes population and customer data,
water use data, water supply system data, and wastewater data. (Figure 3-1)
Goals: Specific quantified five-year and ten-year targets for water savings to include goals
for water loss programs and goals for municipal and residential use, in GPCD. The goals
46
City of The Colony Water Conservation Plan
4
established by a public water supplier are not enforceable under this subparagraph.
(Sections 2.2 and 2.3)
Accurate Metering Devices: The TCEQ requires metering devices with an accuracy of plus
or minus 5 percent for measuring water diverted from source supply. (Section 5.1)
Universal Metering, Testing, Repair, and Replacement: The TCEQ requires that there be a
program for universal metering of both customer and public uses of water for meter testing
and repair, and for periodic meter replacement. (Section 5.2)
Leak Detection, Repair, and Control of Unaccounted for Water: The regulations require
measures to determine and control unaccounted-for water. Measures may include periodic
visual inspections along distribution lines and periodic audits of the water system for illegal
connections or abandoned services. (Sections 5.3 and 5.4)
Continuing Public Education Program: TCEQ requires a continuing public education and
information program regarding water conservation. (Section 5.5)
Non-Promotional Rate Structure: Chapter 288 requires a water rate structure that is cost-
based and which does not encourage the excessive use of water. (Section 5.8 and Appendix
A)
Reservoir Systems Operational Plan: This requirement is to provide a coordinated
operational structure for operation of reservoirs owned by the water supply entity within a
common watershed or river basin in order to optimize available water supplies. (Section
5.10)
Wholesale Customer Requirements: The water conservation plan must include a
requirement in every water supply contract entered into or renewed after official adoption
of the Water Conservation Plan, and including any contract extension, that each successive
wholesale customer develop and implement a water conservation plan or water
conservation measures using the applicable elements of Title 30 TAC Chapter 288.
(Section 5.9)
A Means of Implementation and Enforcement: The regulations require a means to
implement and enforce the Water Conservation Plan, as evidenced by an ordinance,
resolution, or tariff, and a description of the authority by which the conservation plan is
enforced. (Sections 5.0 through 5.17)
Coordination with Regional Water Planning Groups: The water conservation plan should
document the coordination with the Regional Water Planning Group for the service area of
the public water supplier to demonstrate consistency with the appropriate approved
regional water plan. (Section 5.12)
Additional Requirements for Cities of More than 5,000 People
Program for Leak Detection, Repair, and Water Loss Accounting: The plan must include a
description of the program of leak detection, repair, and water loss accounting for the water
transmission, storage, delivery, and distribution system. (Sections 5.3 and 5.4)
Record Management System: The plan must include a record management system to record
water pumped, water deliveries, water sales and water losses which allows for the
47
City of The Colony Water Conservation Plan
5
desegregation of water sales and uses into the following user classes (residential;
commercial; public and institutional and industrial). (Sections 5.4 and 5.14)
Requirements for Wholesale Customers: The plan must include a requirement in every
wholesale water supply contract entered into or renewed after official adoption of the plan
(by either ordinance, resolution, or tariff), and including any contract extension, that each
successive wholesale customer develop and implement a water conservation plan or water
conservation measures using the applicable elements in 30 TAC § 288. If the customer
intends to resell the water, the contract between the initial supplier and customer must
provide that the contract for the resale of the water must have water conservation
requirements so that each successive customer in the resale of the water will be required to
implement water conservation measures in accordance with the provisions of 30 TAC §
288. (Section 5.9)
Additional Conservation Strategies: TCEQ Rules also list additional optional but not
required conservation strategies which may be adopted by suppliers. The following
optional strategies are included in this plan:
o Conservation-Oriented Water Rates. (Section 5.8 and Appendix A) and water rate
structures such as uniform or increasing block rate schedules, and/or seasonal rates,
but not flat rate or decreasing block rates;
o Ordinances, Plumbing Codes and/or Rules on Water Conservation Fixtures.
(Section 5.14)
o Fixture Replacement Incentive Programs. (Sections 5.7.1 through 5.7.3)
o Reuse and/or Recycling of Wastewater and/or Gray Water. (Sections 5.16 through
5.16.3)
o Ordinance and/or Programs for Landscape Water Management (Sections 5.5.4 and
5.14).
o Method for Monitoring the Effectiveness of the Plan.
This Water Conservation Plan sets forth a program of long-term measures under which the City of
The Colony can improve the overall efficiency of water use and conserve its water resources. Short-
term measures which respond to specific water management conditions (i.e., periods of drought,
unusually high water demands, unforeseen equipment or system failure, or contamination of a water
supply source) are described in the City of The Colony Drought Contingency Plan.
2.0 Water Conservation Planning Goals
The objective of this Water Conservation Plan is to achieve efficient use of water through practices
and measures that reduce water consumption and water losses and increase water reuse. Meeting
this objective will allow the use of available water supplies and existing infrastructure to be
extended into the future.
2.1 Benefits of Water Conservation
A well-designed Water Conservation Plan will not deprive the community of essential water uses;
rather, it will provide a blueprint for efficient water use. The benefits of water conservation not
only include those derived from avoided costs, but also others that may not be as easily enumerated
in terms of dollars yet hold significant importance to the City in terms of value. Benefits of water
conservation include:
48
City of The Colony Water Conservation Plan

Delays the need to develop expensive future water supplies. Costs associated with
developing new water supplies (or purchasing new water) are numerous. These can include
capital costs for construction of pumping facilities, pipelines, water wells, water storage,
and related facilities; costs of obtaining permits; and operational costs such as labor,
energy, and chemicals.
Extends the life of existing water supplies and infrastructure. Pressures within the water
system will increase in localized areas in order to meet increasing customer demands.
Increased pressures within an aging infrastructure will mean more leaks from the system.
When water demands are maintained or reduced through conservation, higher system
pressure is avoided.
Reduces peak requirements. A water system is sized to meet its customers’ peak demands.
When these peak demands are reduced through water conservation, a portion of the
system’s capacity is freed-up for other water customers. This, in effect, increases the base
capacity of the system.
Lowers capital and operating costs of the existing system.The need for expanding the water
treatment and distribution system is delayed or avoided. Operational costs, such as power
and chemicals, are also reduced.
Other benefits include the generation of positive environmental effects, improving customer good
will and promoting a positive image for The City of The Colony.
2.2 The City’s Water Conservation Planning Goals
Listed below are many of the planning goals considered important during the water conservation
planning process:
Reduce seasonal peak demands
Reduce water loss and waste
Decrease consumption measured as gallons per capita per day (GPCD)
Maintain quality of life
Allow continued economic growth and development
Maintain a heightened public awareness of water conservation in The Colony
“Lead by example” by upgrading city facilities with water efficient fixtures, landscapes,
and irrigation systems wherever possible
Facilitate regional conservation efforts among neighboring municipalities
Establish the foundation for continuation of water savings targets for the following five-
year period
Remain consistent with the Region C Water Plan
Incorporate, to the extent practicable, measures identified in the Texas Water Development
Board’s (TWDB’s) best management practices (BMP) Guide.

2.3 Quantified Five- and Ten-Year Goals for Water Savings
Specific elements of the Water Conservation Plan, including planned initiatives, are described in
Section 5.0. The development of the planned initiatives involved the identification and examination
of numerous conservation strategies. These strategies were derived from several sources, including
state agency directives, regional water planning groups, water conservation literature, water
conservation programs used by other municipalities, and the City’s existing Water Master Plan.
Targeted water savings are based on the planned BMPs, historical water use patterns, literature
values, and experience with other utilities. Savings include the combined efforts of all program
elements and the components thereof.

4.0 Description of The Colony Water System
The City has supplied water to meet the needs of The Colony since 1985. Through a complex
system of Transmission Lines, Treatment, and Distribution Facilities and Recycled water projects,
existing are also components of the City water system.
4.1 Water Supply Sources
The City has five water wells, strategically located in the system. The systems design corresponds
to the city’s overall water treatment system infrastructure, which includes the Office Creek Pump
Station where purchased water from (DWU) and well water from the City’s water well are stored
before being delivered to the distribution system. The Wynnwood Pump Station is located in the
(Tribute) area. Plano Water Utility supplies water to The Colony along Windhaven PKWY East of
the BNSF railroad. All together The Colony has a total of five Pump Stations and a series of water
wells. Water wells are located at Pump Station #1 at 5033 Clover Valley with two water wells,
Pump Station #2 located at 6809 Main St. with one water well, Pump Station #3 located at 5572
North Colony with one water well and Office Creek Pump Station located at 4180 Main St. The
Five Star Sports Complex has one water well used for irrigation.

4.2 Treated Water Storage and Distribution Systems
The City distribution system is divided into three pressure zones Central, North West (Tribute),
South East (Austin Ranch) with several intermediate areas of service supplied via inline boosters
and pressure reducing valves. Each pressure zone includes one or more ground or elevated storage
tanks that are designed to act both as pressure equalizers and fire protection storage within the area.
Treated water is pumped into the distribution system from one of the 5 pump stations. Transfers
from pump stations are accomplished by means of “high service” pumps that are located at the
stations in the distribution system. These “high service” pumps are supplied directly from the pump
station clear wells or ground storage tanks. There are a combined total of 5 pump stations, 4 clear
wells, 3 ground storage reservoirs, and 3 elevated storage tanks in the distribution system.
The clear wells have a combined storage capacity of 2.4 MG; the ground storage reservoirs and
elevated storage tanks have a total 7 MG and 2 MG, respectively. The combined storage capacity
of the system is approximately 11.4 MG.
The water distribution system consists of approximately 197.3 linear miles of pipe. The capacity
of the treated water distribution system is constantly being upgraded and re-assessed to improve
the ability of the distribution system to meet customers’ needs and to replace aging infrastructure.
4.3 Wastewater Treatment Plants
The City of The Colony operates one wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) –Stewart Creek
WWTP - that serves The City of The Colony. The WWTP has an annual average flow
permitted capacity of 4.5MGD with a 13.5 MGD 2-hour peak. A general description of the
plant is as follows:
Stewart Creek WWTP is currently rated at 4.5 MGD capacity and is located 3
miles North of SH121 in The City of The Colony. It consists of one split well
influent pump station, one primary head works with two parallel fine screens and
two parallel grit chambers, three parallel biological aeration treatment trains, three
parallel secondary clarifiers, four parallel cloth disk filters, two parallel channels
with four modules each of Ultra Violet disinfection lamps, and one reuse holding
tank with four reuse pumps. Sludge from the Stewart Creek WWTP is dewatered
on one two-meter belt press and the final solids disposed of in a landfill.
Stewart Creek WWTP Collection System consists of 203 miles of wastewater
pipes and 9 waste water lift stations.
5.0 The Colony’s Water Conservation Program
The City of The Colony has a history of providing guidance in the area of water conservation to
the public. This section provides a description of the city’s existing water conservation program
53
City of The Colony Water Conservation Plan
11
and the enhancements or new conservation measures that are planned to achieve or exceed the
City’s stated water conservation goal.
5.1 Accurate Supply Source Metering
The City has a comprehensive program to meter water diverted from supply sources within the
water system. All untreated water diversions to the City of The Colony Well Water Treatment
Plants are metered using Propeller and Mag meters located at the plants. The meters are calibrated
annually in accordance with those standards to an accuracy of plus or minus 5% accuracy per TCEQ
requirements. All untreated water diverted from supply sources is compiled in an annual Water
Report, which shows diversions on a monthly basis.
5.2 Universal Metering, Meter Testing and Repair, and Periodic Meter
Replacement
Universal Metering - The current City ordinance requires metering of all connections, except
closed fire systems with alarms. Individual metering is required at all single-family residential
locations. Most multifamily residential locations, such as apartments and condominiums, have
individual metering for each building or designated water user. Some commercial businesses are
combined through a single master meter as well. Dual metering is currently provided to some
customers based on the individual needs of the user. All treated water pumped from the WTPs is
compiled in an annual Pumped Water Report, which shows water pumped on a monthly basis.
Treated purchased water is metered by Dallas Water Utilities using Venturi meters with rate-of-
flow controllers (ROFCs). Purchased water is metered by the City of Plano using Compound
meters. Raw well and treated water pumped into and from storage tanks is metered using Mag
meters, Propeller meters and Venturi meters. All purchase and well water metered is included in
City of The Colony’s Annual Supplied and Pumped Water Report.
Meter Testing and Repair –Meters are tested and calibrated in accordance with AWWA standards
to accuracy within plus or minus 5 percent. The city maintains a program to pull, test, and replace
any meters determined to be functioning outside of these parameters.
Periodic Meter Replacement –Most residential meters are replaced after 1 million gallons. Repair
or replacement of larger general service meters is generally provided at five-year intervals with
annual testing.
5.3 Leak Detection, Repair, and Control of Unaccounted-for Water
The City has an extensive leak detection and repair program and is committed to maintaining the
integrity of the system. Currently, the City has an annual budget of $1.6 million for maintenance
and upkeep of the distribution system. The majority of the budget is used for personnel, equipment,
and materials. Currently approximately 20 employees are employed to operate the distribution
system. Most leaks, illegal connections, or abandoned services are discovered through the visual
observation of field crews or are reported by the public. In 2018, staff investigated over 1,292 leaks.
The Leak Detection Program has the goal of surveying the entire water system and improving the
integrity of the water system. The goal is to survey all pipelines annually. Staff members utilize
leak detection equipment, including leak listening devices, meter pressure checks and periodic
water audits for illegal connections or abandoned services. Pressure checks are also performed on
fire hydrants during flushing and routine exercising. Additionally, pump stations and elevated tanks
54
City of The Colony Water Conservation Plan
12
levels and system pressures are continuously monitored via the Supervisor Control and Data
Acquisition System (SCADA).
5.4 Monitoring and Record Management of Water Deliveries, Sales and Losses
The City regularly monitors all water flows and sales to both treated and untreated water customers.
All critical data, such as raw well water to WTPs, treated water pumped to distribution, and
unaccounted-for water losses are available on a regular basis, as needed. All water sources and
service connection accounts are individually metered and read on a regular basis to facilitate
accurate comparisons and analysis.
5.5 Continuing Public Education Program
The City recognizes that water conservation is a significant benefit to individuals and
communities in terms of long-term water supply availability and costs. The most readily
available and lowest cost method of promoting water conservation is to inform retail
water users about ways to save water in homes and businesses, in landscaping and lawn
uses, and in recreational uses. The City currently provides the information to public in the
following manner.
5.5.1 Public Awareness
The City provides the public with water conservation pamphlets containing information
on simple easy to follow ways to save water and Water Conservation and Drought
Contingency Plans have been made available to the public. Additionally, this information
is available at kiosks throughout City Facilities, including the lobby of City Hall and
Public Library. Conservation information and City events and environmental program
functions that involve the general public is distributed to new customers Public
information is also available on the City website and other public media outlets supported
by the City. In addition the City conducts educational tours at our facilities to local
students. During the tours students are involved in conversations on water conservation
tips and receive written information that can be practiced at home.
5.6 Non-promotional Water Rate Structure
The City has a conservation-oriented rate structure for customers. Under the increasing block rate
structure, customers are billed a water meter service charge which increases with the size of their
meters. Customers are also billed for water usage, and increasing usage results in a higher unit cost
for water. Connecting higher rates to increased consumption discourages customers from wasting
water. A copy of the City’s rates is provided in Appendix A.
5.7 Means to Implement and Enforce the Water Conservation Plan
The City administers and implements various components of the Water Conservation Program
within the City of The Colony as authorized by the City Code of Ordnance, Chapter 12, Municipal
Utility and Services. The enforcement of the water rate structure and metering is automatic. Water
conservation lawn and landscape restrictions are enforced by the Department of Code Compliance.
55
City of The Colony Water Conservation Plan
13
Water contracts with wholesale suppliers require the City to develop a water conservation plan to
ensure that available supplies are used efficiently.
5.8 Coordination with Regional Water Planning Groups
The City will provide a copy of this Water Conservation Plan to the Region C Water Planning
Group. As a retail water supplier in the region, The City will work with the Regional Water
Planning Group to improve efficient utilization of existing water resources and/or develop new
resources which meet the needs of the region.
5.9 Desegregation of Water Sales by Customer Class
The City separates water customers into three general account classes:
Residential – The Residential class includes single-family residences.
Commercial – The Commercial class includes master metered multi-family housing,
master metered apartments, and master metered mobile homes, office buildings,
restaurants, hotels, churches, and other commercial and light industrial customers.
Institutional – The Institutional class consists of city buildings, parks, fire stations,
libraries.
Based on the average retail water sold within the City of Colony from 2014 -2018, Commercial
and Residential customers account for the majority of the City’s water consumption (Figure 5-1).
Figure 5-1: Average Water Consumption by Account Class, 2014 to 2018
5.10 Plumbing Code Ordinances
The State of Texas has placed maximum flow rate requirements on plumbing fixtures. As of
January 1, 2014, the law requires maximum average flow rates of (1.28) gallons per flush (gpf) for
56
City of The Colony Water Conservation Plan
14
toilets and (1) gpf for urinals. Effective October 12, 2013, the City of The Colony amended the
plumbing code by adopting the 2012 Edition of the International Plumbing Code Council, Inc. with
specified exceptions. The City code at a minimum complies with State of Texas requirements.
5.11 Wastewater Reuse and Recycling
The Colony has developed water recycling projects and plans for additional projects, as described
in the following sections: direct reuse projects, indirect reuse projects, and contracts for return flows
into reservoirs. Table 5-1 presents a summary of direct and indirect recycled water projects.
Table 5-1: Summary of The Colony Recycled Water Projects

Total 1168.580
5.11.1 Direct Reuse Projects
The Colony provides recycled water from the WWTP to the Stone Briar Country Club golf courses
for irrigation. The golf courses currently uses up to 1.7 MGD.
5.11.2 Indirect Reuse Projects
The Colony releases treated wastewater back into the Lake Lewisville Reservoir after it
has been processed through the plant.
5.12 Method to Monitor the Effectiveness of the Plan
The effectiveness and efficiency of the water conservation program will be monitored on an
ongoing basis by city staff. Staff determines the extent of water conservation by compiling
implementation data, monitoring water consumption, modeling water demand, and tracking water
conservation costs.
Annual Report on Water Conservation Activities – 30 TAC § 288 requires that each entity that is
required to submit a water conservation plan to the TWDB or the TCEQ shall file an annual report
to the TWDB on the entity's progress in implementing each of the minimum requirements in their
water conservation plan. The Colony submitted the first of these yearly reports on April 26, 2010.
This report will be submitted in accordance with the requirement.
