the two replacement easements are attached for review.

Agenda Item No:4.4
CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item Report
Meeting Date: January 16, 2024
Submitted by: Robert Kotasek
Submitting Department: Engineering
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section:
Subject:
Consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Engineering Services Contract
Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $ 65,300.00 with HDR Engineering, Inc. for a Sanitary Sewer Pipe Crossing
Replacement on a USACE property near Reagan Place. (Hartline)
Suggested Action:
Background:
City Council approved funding for the Sanitary Sewer Pipe Crossing Replacement on a USACE property near
Reagan Place in the 2023-2024 budget.
Approximately 450 feet of 24-inch cast iron sanitary sewer pipe near Reagan Place is currently exposed in the
creek located on the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) property and needs to be replaced. This
cast iron pipe will be replaced during the project and an aerial crossing will be installed across and over the
creek to protect the pipeline from potential washouts. The original engineering services design contract with
HDR Engineering, Inc. included data collection, environmental studies, geotechnical investigations, topographic
mapping, subsurface utility engineering, field services, preparing construction plans and specifications and
coordination with USACE.
The bidding assistance and construction management services for the project was not included in the original
design services contract because staff was not sure of the exact USACE requirements that would need to be
included in the design drawings and in the specifications. Now that USACE has approved the plans, the bidding
assistance and construction management services have been defined and need to be added to HDR’s
contract. The bidding assistance and construction management services will include reviewing all the
construction bids received, making a bid recommendation, reviewing contractor submittals and requests for
information, reviewing of monthly invoices, attending progress meetings, field inspections at critical junctures
and performing the construction close-out. The total cost of the Contract Amendment No. 1 is $ 65,300.00 and
City Staff recommends approval.
The construction services for this project is currently out for bid and the received bids will be opened on January
17, 2024. The project is anticipated to start construction in March 2024 with an estimated completion in
January 2025.

From:James Whitt, Director of Public Works
Sent:Thursday, January 16, 2024
To:City Council
Subject: Waste Water Plant Expansion Project Close Out
The recent expansion of the Waste Water Treatment Plant has been completed and Gracon
Construction has submitted their final application for payment. This amount due this payment is
$280,173.31 more than the contract amount or an increase of 2.2% of the original contract. This
increase is due to two primary factors. The first which represents a 1% increase was a request made
by Daemeon Stovall and myself to replace two pumps not included in the original scope of the
project.
The Waste Water Plant has three paths that the treatment water flows thru called trains A, B, and C
with C being the newest. Trains A & B utilized vertical turbine RAS (Return Activated Sludge) pumps.
Turbine pumps have blades much like jet engines with multiple small blades, the issue with these
pumps was that rags and baby wipes, etc. would get caught on the blades causing them to fail every
couple of months. The pumps would have to be pulled out & sent for repairs/maintenance. Each
repair would take approximately 4-6 weeks. While the pumps were out for service large diesel
powered trailered bypass pumps were used to keep the treatment process going. The bypass pumps
required daily and weekly maintenance due to the 24/7 operation. The cost of replacing the RAS
pumps was $161,248.20
The vertical turbine pumps were replaced with standard centrifugal pumps capable of handling the
rags and other debris, since installation (8 months ago) no maintenance has been required.
The replacement of these pumps was not part of the plant expansion and Daemeon and myself
asked for and received approval prior to requesting Gracon to change the pumps.
A number of factors are responsible for the additional cost overruns (around 1%) Covid, the
blockage of the Suez Canal and the on and off closures of the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports
which all together exacerbated the already strained global supply chain issues we were all ready
dealing with. With each change order presented Daemeon and I closely reviewed and sought
alternatives to mitigate cost, Gracon and Carollo were very helpful in offering and suggesting
alternative materials, suppliers, and equipment reducing cost almost to the original budget.
Summary of additional cost:

City of The Colony - 6800 Main Street - The Colony, Texas 75056 (972) 625-1756
www.TheColonyTX.gov
Replacement of “A” and “B” Train RAS Pump $161,248.20 1.3%
Total of all other change orders $235,823.29 1.9%
Total cost of savings and alternatives ($116,898.18).9%
Adjusted cost of other change orders $118,925.11 .9% = 235,823.29 - 116,898.18
Total cost of change orders $280,173.31 2.2% = 161,248.20 + 118,925.11

Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion – Phase 2B
Preliminary and Final Design
Carrollo Engineers
For over a decade, the City of the Colony has been working to expand its plant capacity to build out;
6.3MGD. Many years of work and multiple phases have been completed to date; barely outpacing our
growth. We are ready to begin the final phase of the plant expansion and this item will begin that process.
The Stewart Creek Park Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion – Phase 2B (WWTP-SCP-2B)
Preliminary and final design contract with Carrollo will include preliminary design and final design for the
influent, headworks, Treatment trains A and B. It will also add Tertiary filters and UV disinfectant with odor
control and sludge dewatering improvements.
This contract will provide for the design and engineering to include the bid documents for a complete
construction bid phase. The city is intending to also bring on a Construction manager at Risk (CMaR) to
identify efficiencies through value engineering and we also feel that having them involved from the start of
the process will net savings above the cost of the project manager.
The total design contract is $4,867,272. Included in this amount is $517,353 in special services that
include additional design implementations if we so choose on sludge handling and odor control options. If
these actions are not authorized separately by staff they will not take place and subsequently not charged.
The timeline for this design phase is approximately 18 months; starting with the culmination of this
approval and concluding approx. mid May 2025.
Funding for this item is provided by the federally disseminated SLRFF funds. One of the uses of these
funds is specifically for water and wastewater improvements. Currently, there is $11MM of these funds
available for use on this project. These funds have been set aside inside of our debt service fund for use so
this item will additionally transfer the required funds out of the debt service fund to the capital projects fund
to be used on this project.
