Agenda Item No:4.6
CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item Report
Meeting Date: February 20, 2024
Submitted by: Bret McCullough
Submitting Department: Engineering
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section:
Subject:
Consider approving ordinances amending the Code of Ordinances by repealing the 2018 Editions of
International Codes and adopting the 2021 Editions of the following International Codes - the International
Residential Code, International Building Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code,
International Energy Conservation Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Swimming Pool and Spa
Code, International Existing Building Code, all with local amendments; and repealing the 2017 Edition of the
National Electric Code and replacing it with the 2020 Edition of the National Electric Code with local
amendments. (McCullough)
Suggested Action:
In previous Council action January 5, 2021, the 2018 Editions of the International Codes and the 2017 Edition of
the National Electrical code were adopted for use in the city. Also included was the recommended amendment
package from the Regional Code Coordinating Committee (RCCC) of the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG). NCTCOG provides regional amendments each time a new edition of the
International Codes and the National Electrical Code are published every three years. Almost every city in the
region uses the NCTCOG amendments to provide uniformity of interpretation and application of the codes. It is
important to keep up to date with new code developments so developers, engineers, architects, and
contractors can utilize the latest technologies and uniformity between jurisdictions. The building and fire
departments undergo evaluation every three to four years by ISO (Insurance Services Office) in order to help
set insurance rates for the city. It is vital to move to the 2021 International Codes and the 2017 National
Electrical Code in order to maintain ISO ratings for the building and fire departments. The building department
must adopt codes that are not more than five years older than the latest editions. The next ISO audit for the
building department should take place within the next year.

**Section C102/R102 General; add Section C102.1.2 and R102.1.2 (N1101.4.1) to read as follows:
C102.1.2 Alternative compliance. A building certified by a national, state, or local accredited energy
efficiency program and determined by the Energy Systems Laboratory to be in compliance with the energy
efficiency requirements of this section may, at the option of the Code Official, be considered in compliance.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program certification of energy code
equivalency shall be considered in compliance.
R102.1.2 (N1101.4.1) Alternative compliance. A building certified by a national, state, or local accredited
energy efficiency program and determined by the Energy Systems Laboratory to be in compliance with the
energy efficiency requirements of this section may, at the option of the Code Official, be considered in
compliance. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program certification of
energy code equivalency shall be considered in compliance. Regardless of the program or the path to
compliance, each 1- and 2-family dwelling shall be tested for air and duct leakage as prescribed in Section
R402.4.1.2 (N1102.4.1.2) and R403.3.3 (N1103.3.3) respectively.
(Reason: This amendment is added to allow alternative compliance in accordance with Texas HB 1365,
78th Legislature. Codified in Chapter 388 Texas Building Energy Performance Standards: §388.003(i).
The last sentence to Section R102.1.2 (N1101.4.1) was added to ensure that every house is tested in
accordance with the mandatory provisions of the code.)
Section R202 (N1101.6) Definitions; add the following definition:
**PROJECTION FACTOR. The ratio of the horizontal depth of the overhang, eave or permanently attached
shading device, divided by the distance measured vertically from the bottom of the fenestration glazing to
the underside of the overhang, eave or permanently attached shading device.
(Reason: The amendment to Section 402.3.2 (N1102.3.2) Glazed fenestration SHGC was proposed by
the TAB. ESL determined the proposal to be not less restrictive than the 2015 IECC. This added definition
is necessary as part of that amendment. The amendment will provide additional options for SHGC
selection.)
Section R202 (N1101.6) Definitions; add the following definition:
**DYNAMIC GLAZING. Any fenestration product that has the fully reversible ability to change it
performance properties, including U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), or visible transmittance
(VT).
(Reason: This term is referenced in Section R402.3.2. This definition of DYMANIC GLAZING is also found
in the Commercial provisions of the code.)

***Section C402.5.2 Dwelling and sleeping unit enclosure testing. Added the underlined to read as
follows
C402.5.2 Dwelling and sleeping unit enclosure testing. The building thermal envelope shall be tested in
accordance with ASTM E779. ANSI/RESNET/ICC 380, ASTM E1827 or an equivalent method approved
by the code official. The measured air leakage shall not exceed 0.30 cfm/ft2 (1.5 Us m2) of the testing unit
enclosure area at a pressure differential of 0.2 inch water gauge (50 Pa). Where multiple dwelling units or
sleeping units or other occupiable conditioned spaces are contained within one building thermal envelope,
each unit shall be considered an individual testing unit, and the building air leakage shall be the weighted
average of all testing unit results, weighted by each testing unit's enclosure area. Units shall be tested
separately with an unguarded blower door test as follows:
1.Where buildings have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be tested.
2.For buildings with eight or more testing units, the greater of seven units or 20 percent of the testing
units in the building shall be tested, including a top floor unit, a ground floor unit, a middle floor unit, and a
unit with the largest testing unit enclosure area. For each tested unit that exceeds the maximum air leakage
rate, an additional two three units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and locations.
(Reason: For many multifamily (R2 classifications) projects, it is very costly and time consuming to test
each dwelling unit for projects where there may be dozens of dwelling units in each building. Considering
that the same tradesman generally constructs a building, it is reasonable to deem that construction
practices are consistent and that if a reasonable sampling of units tested pass then all units would pass.
These amendments are in line with RESNET sampling guidelines.)
***Section R402.4.1 Building thermal envelope; add section R402.4.1.4 to read as follows
R402.4.1.4 Sampling options for R2 multifamily dwelling units. For buildings with eight or more testing units
that must be tested as required by R402.4.1.2 or R402.4.1.3, the greater of seven units or 20 percent of
the testing units in the building shall be tested, including a top floor unit, a ground floor unit, a middle floor
unit, and a unit with the largest testing unit enclosure area. For each tested unit that exceeds the maximum
air leakage rate, an additional three units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and
locations. Where buildings have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be tested.
(Reason: For many multifamily (R2 classifications) projects, it is very costly and time consuming to test

practices are consistent and that if a reasonable sampling of units tested pass then all units would pass.
These amendments are in line with the commercial provisions of the commercial 2021 IECC and
RESNET sampling guidelines.)
***Section R403.3 Ducts; add section R403.3.8 to read as follows
R403.3.8 Sampling options for R2 multifamily dwelling units. For buildings with eight or more testing units
that must be tested as required by R403.3.5, the greater of seven units or 20 percent of the testing units in
the building shall be tested, including a top floor unit, a ground floor unit, a middle floor unit, and a unit with
the largest testing unit floor area. For each tested unit that exceeds the maximum duct leakage rate, an
71

additional three units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and locations. Where buildings
have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be tested.
(Reason: For many multifamily (R2 classifications) projects, it is very costly and time consuming to test
each dwelling unit for projects where there may be dozens of dwelling units in each building. Considering

practices are consistent and that if a reasonable sampling of units tested pass then all units would pass.
These amendments are in line with the commercial provisions of the commercial 2021 IECC and RESNET
sampling guidelines.)
***Section R403.6 Mechanical Ventilation; add section R403.6.4 to read as follows
R403.6.4 Sampling options for R2 multifamily dwelling units. For buildings with eight or more testing units
that must be tested as required by R403.6.3, the greater of seven units or 20 percent of the testing units
in the building shall be tested, including a top floor unit, a ground floor unit, a middle floor unit, and a unit
with the largest testing unit floor area. For each tested unit that does not meet the minimum ventilation
rate, an additional three units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and locations.
Where buildings have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be tested.

***R405.2 Performance-based compliance. Added to underlined to read as follows.
R405.2 Performance-based compliance. Compliance based on total building performance requires that a
proposed design meets all of the following:
1. The requirements of the sections indicated within Table R405.2.
2. The building thermal envelope greater than or equal to levels of efficiency and solar heat gain
coefficients in Table R402.1.1 or R402.1.3 of the 2009 International Energy Conservation
Code.
3. An annual energy cost that is less than or equal to the annual energy cost of the 2021 standard
reference design or 8% less than the annual energy cost of the 2018 standard reference design.
Energy prices shall be taken from a source approved by the code official,such as the
Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration's State Energy Data System Prices
and Expenditures reports. Code officials shall be permitted to require time-of-use pricing in
energy cost calculations.
Exception: The energy use based on source energy expressed in Btu or Btu per square foot
of conditioned floor area shall be permitted to be substituted for the energy cost. The source
energy multiplier for electricity shall be 3.16. The source energy multiplier for fuels other
than electricity shall be 1.1.
(Reason: At the time of the approval of these recommended amendments, software to calculate and
show compliance with section R405 of the 2021 IECC was not available. The underlined amendment

Recommended Amendments to the
2021 International Fuel Gas Code
North Central Texas Council of Governments Region
The following sections, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2021 International Fuel Gas Code are hereby
amended as follows: Standard type is text from the IFGC. Underlined type is text inserted. Lined through
type is deleted text from IFGC. A double asterisk at the beginning of a section identifies an amendment
carried over from the 2018 edition of the code and a triple asterisk identifies a new or revised amendment
with the 2021 code.
**Section 101.2
{Local amendments to Section 101.2 may be necessary to correspond with the State Plumbing
Licensing Law.}
**Section 102.2; add an exception to read as follows:
Exception: Existing dwelling units shall comply with Section 621.2.
(Reason: Previous code provisions made unvented heater provisions retroactive except as provided for in
local amendment. This amendment and amendment to IFGC 621.2 better clarify what the code already
states: existing systems may stay unless considered unsafe.)
***Section 102.8; change to read as follows:
102.8 Referenced codes and standards. The codes and standards referenced in this code shall be those
that are listed in Chapter 8 and such codes, when specifically adopted, and standards shall be considered
part of the requirements of this code to the prescribed extent of each such reference. Where differences
occur between provisions of this code and the referenced standards, the provisions of this code shall apply.
Whenever amendments have been adopted to the referenced codes and standards, each reference to said
code and standard shall be considered to reference the amendments as well. Any reference to NFPA 70
or the National Electrical Code shall mean the Electrical Code as adopted.
(Reason: Legal wording to recognize locally adopted codes and amendments adopted with referenced
codes.)
**Section 306.5; change to read as follows:
[M] 306.5 Equipment and Appliances on Roofs or Elevated Structures. Where equipment requiring
access or appliances are located on an elevated structure or the roof of a building such that personnel will
have to climb higher than 16 feet (4877 mm) above grade to access, an interior or exterior means of access
shall be provided. Exterior ladders providing roof access need not extend closer than 12 feet (2438 mm) to
the finish grade or floor level below and shall extend to the equipment and appliances' level service space.
Such access shall . . . {bulk of section to read the same} . . . on roofs having a slope greater than four units
vertical in 12 units horizontal (33-percent slope). ... {remainder of text unchanged}.
(Reason: To assure safe access to roof appliances. Consistent with IMC amendments.)
85
Page 5 of 6
**Section 306.5.1; change to read as follows:
[M] 306.5.1 Sloped roofs. Where appliances, equipment, fans or other components that require service
are installed on a roof having a slope of 3 units vertical in 12 units horizontal (25-percent slope) or greater
and having an edge more than 30 inches (762 mm) above grade at such edge, a catwalk at least 16 inches
in width with substantial cleats spaced not more than 16 inches apart shall be provided from the roof access
to a level platform at the appliance. The level platform shall be provided on each side of the appliance to
which access is required for service, repair or maintenance. The platform shall be not less than 30 inches
(762 mm) in any dimension and shall be provided with guards. The guards shall extend not less than 42
inches (1067 mm) above the platform, shall be constructed so as to prevent the passage of a 21-inch-
diameter (533 mm) sphere and shall comply with the loading requirements for guards specified in the
International Building Code.
(Reason: To assure safe access to roof appliances. Consistent with IMC amendments.)
**Section 401.5; add a second paragraph to read as follows:
Both ends of each section of medium pressure gas piping shall identify its operating gas pressure with an
approved tag. The tags are to be composed of aluminum or stainless steel and the following wording shall
be stamped into the tag:
"WARNING
1/2 to 5 psi gas pressure
Do Not Remove"
(Reason: To protect homeowners and plumbers.)
**Section 404.12; change to read as follows:
404.12 Minimum burial depth. Underground piping systems shall be installed a minimum depth of 12 18
inches (305 458 mm) top of pipe below grade, except as provided for in Section 404.12.1.
404.12.1 Delete in its entirety.
(Reason: To provide increased protection to piping systems and address reference number change.)
***Section 406.4; change to read as follows:
406.4 Test pressure measurement. Test pressure shall be measured with a monometer or with a
pressure-measuring device designed and calibrated to read, record, or indicate a pressure loss caused by
leakage during the pressure test period. The source of pressure shall be isolated before the pressure tests
are made. Mechanical gauges used to measure test pressures shall have a range such that the highest
end of the scale is not greater than five times the test pressure. Spring type gauges do not meet the
requirement of a calibrated gauge.
(Reason: To require the use of more accurate diaphragm gauges. Spring gauges do not provide accurate
measurement below approximately 17 psig.)
***Section 406.4.1; change to read as follows:
406.4.1 Test pressure. The test pressure to be used shall be no less than 1 1/2 times the proposed
maximum working pressure, but no less than 3 3 psig (20 kPa gauge), or at the discretion of the Code
Official, the piping and valves may be tested at a pressure of at least six (6) inches (152 mm) of mercury,
measured with a manometer or slope gauge, irrespective of design pressure. Where the test pressure
exceeds 125 psig (862 kPa gauge), the test pressure shall not exceed a value that produces a hoop stress
86
Page 6 of 6
in the piping greater than 50 percent of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe. For tests requiring
a pressure of 3 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a dial with a minimum diameter of three and one half
inches (3 ½”), a set hand, 1/10 pound incrementation and pressure range not to exceed 15 psi for tests
requiring a pressure of 3 psig. For tests requiring a pressure of 10 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a
dial with a minimum diameter of three and one-half inches (3 ½”), a set hand, a minimum of 2/10 pound
incrementation and a pressure range not to exceed 50 psi. For welded piping, and for piping carrying gas
at pressures in excess of fourteen (14) inches water column pressure (3.48 kPa) (1/2 psi) and less than
200 inches of water column pressure (52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the test pressure shall not be less than ten (10)
pounds per square inch (69.6 kPa). For piping carrying gas at a pressure that exceeds 200 inches of water
column (52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the test pressure shall be not less than one and one-half times the proposed
maximum working pressure.
Diaphragm gauges used for testing must display a current calibration and be in good working condition.
The appropriate test must be applied to the diaphragm gauge used for testing.
(Reason: To provide for lesser pressures to coordinate with the use of more accurate diaphragm gauges.)
**Section 409.1; add Section 409.1.4 to read as follows:
409.1.4 Valves in CSST installations. Shutoff valves installed with corrugated stainless steel (CSST)
piping systems shall be supported with an approved termination fitting, or equivalent support, suitable for
the size of the valves, of adequate strength and quality, and located at intervals so as to prevent or damp
out excessive vibration but in no case greater than 12-inches from the center of the valve. Supports shall
be installed so as not to interfere with the free expansion and contraction of the system's piping, fittings,
and valves between anchors. All valves and supports shall be designed and installed so they will not be
disengaged by movement of the supporting piping.
(Reason: To provide proper security to CSST valves. These standards were established in this region in
1999 when CSST was an emerging technology.)
**Section 410.1; add a second paragraph and exception to read as follows:
Access to regulators shall comply with the requirements for access to appliances as specified in Section
306.
Exception: A passageway or level service space is not required when the regulator is capable of being
serviced and removed through the required attic opening.
(Reason: To require adequate access to regulators.)

Staff Analysis
Land Use Analysis
The subject site is located within the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District. The Zoning
Ordinance requires a Specific Use Permit for A/C and Heating Shop use with outside storage.
Specific Use Permit approval is intended to offer further evaluation of certain uses and the
appropriateness of the operation of those uses within the context of the surrounding area. Uses
within the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District typically include a mix of retail, office and
personal services. A review of nearby existing uses in the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District
was found to include a mix of retail and services. Nearby retail uses in the SC Zoning District
include, restaurants, retail stores, health studio, personal services, and churches. The proposed
A/C and Heating Shop with outside storage use is not anticipated to conflict with surrounding
established uses as long as the outside storage is well maintai ned within a screened enclosure.
Specific Use Permit (SUP) Criteria
In accordance with Section 10-905 (Special Use Permits - Approval Criteria) of the Zoning
Ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall review and evaluate a
Specific Use Permit application using the following criteria:
1. Conformance with the City of The Colony’s Comprehensive Plan;
The Future Land Use Map identifies this area as “Mixed Use Center” which includes
commercial, entertainment and community service uses. The proposed land use is in
conformance with The Colony Comprehensive Plan.
2. Conformance with applicable regulations and standards established by the zoning
regulations;
With the approval of the SUP, the application will be in conformance with the Zoning
Ordinance.
3. Compatibility with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites, in terms of building
height, build and scale, setbacks on open spaces, landscaping and site development,
access and circulation features, architectural compatibility;
The proposed A/C and Heating Shop with outside storage use is compatible with the
approved uses on abutting sites. The area surrounding the subject site are mainly retail,
churches, and service businesses. The establishment is within the rear portion of a
132
3
building that is only access by mutual drive. The overall operations are not visibly
apparent due to the internal orientation of the business which is screened by the adjacent
buildings; no operations are readily visible from South Colony Drive. The lot
configuration provides additional mitigation of the proposed use.
4. Safety and convenience of vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the vicinity,
including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other
uses reasonable and anticipated in the area, existing zoning and land uses in the area;
The site layout for the subject site has been reviewed and has been previously approved by
the City, which meets traffic circulation and associated requirements.
5. Protection of persons and property f rom erosion, flood, or water damage, fire, noise,
glare, air quality, generation of dust and odors, and similar hazards and impacts;
The subject site was developed in accordance with the applicable regulations at the time
of construction.
6. Location, lighting and type of signs; the relation of signs to traffic control and
adverse effect of signs on adjacent properties;
All existing lighting will remain as previously approved. Building signage was approved
in January 18, 2023. No adverse effect of signs on adjacent properties has been found.
7. Adequacy and convenience of off-street parking and loading facilities;
The subject site meets the Zoning Ordinance requirements for off -street parking.
8. Determination that the proposed use and site development , together with any
modifications applicable thereto, will be compatible with existing or permitted uses in
the vicinity;

commercial activities. The proposed development of an A/C and Heating Shop with
outside storage, is consistent with the intended uses for Shopping Center (SC) Zoning
District and compatible with the surrounding land uses within the vicinity.
9. Determination that any conditions applicable to approval are the mi nimum necessary
to minimize potentially unfavorable impacts on nearby uses in the same district and
surrounding area
The proposed use as requested is not anticipated to create any unfavorable impacts on
nearby uses in the same district and surrounding are a if the outside storage is kept within
the required screened enclosure.
10. Determination that the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto,
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposed use is not anticipated to be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare.

Existing Zoning is designated as SC (shopping center) even though this property is not in a
shopping center. It is a standalone building.
Hours of Operation: 8:00-5:00pm Monday - Friday and 9-12pm Saturday, Closed on Sunday
Justification for this request: 1) the property from street view is unchanged, except for our
company name on the existing monument sign. 2) All service vehicles park in the back of the building
when at the office and are therefore hidden from view from drivers on S. Colony Blvd.. 3) Most of each
day, nearly all employee vehicles are gone performing remote services in The Colony and surrounding
cities. 4) We need one (1) exterior storage space of a size approximate to 24 wide x 35' long x 7' tall
enclosure with a metal gate to temporarily contain old hvac equipment until the recycler removes it three
or four times per week. The hvac components would be in this storage enclosure for approximately 24
hours up to 48 hours and would then be repeatedly replaced by different hvac components on a rotating
basis of first in, last out. 5) The enclosure will keep the back of the building looking nice, neat, and tidy
(even though it is out of view already). 6) the property is already compatible with adjacent property use
and consistent with the character of the neighborhood. Our business will not disturb this. The property is
bounded by a creekbed, vacant land, and by the backside of the shopping center containing Aaron's and
Texas Family Gym. 7) the existence of an outside storage space will not generate any additional noise
level beyond use of a truck's lift gate to lift and lower used equipment.
Regarding the enclosure, Colony Air Conditioning & Heating or others will not engage in any
disassembly of equipment onsite
Enclosure is designed to hold used hvac equipment until recycling pickup which will occur according to
the following time table approximately: Spring/Summer 3-4 times per week; Autumn 2-3 times per
week; Winter 2-3 times per week. The goal being that the equipment will not be stacked higher than 7
feet.
The enclosure is designed to hold the used hvac equipment and any other storage items so that no
items are stored outdoors outside of the enclosure.
The existence of Colony Air Conditioning & Heating at 4805 S. Colony Blvd. is compatible with existing
or permitted uses on abutting sites, in terms of building height, bulk, and scale, setbacks and open
spaces landscaping and site development, access and circulation features, architectural compatibility as
nothing has changed upon our leasing of the building.
There are not any unfavorable effects or impacts on other existing or permitted uses on abutting sites, to
the extent that such impacts exceed those which reasonably may result from use of the site for the
permitted use.
There are no modifications to the site plan which would result in increased compatibility, would mitigate
potentially unfavorable impacts, would be necessary to conform to applicable regulations and standards
and would protect the public health, safety, mo rals and general welfare.
There are no changes to the safety and convenience of vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the
vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by our use of the proposed areas and
136
other uses reasonable and anticipated in the area, existing zoning and land uses in the area. Our office
does not receive many walk -in customers, so there would be little to no additional vehicular use except
for our employees.
The exterior of the building has not changed with our move to this location. The location of signs, lighting
and the relation of signs to traffic control has not changed.
The off-street parking and loading facilities are sufficient and have not changed with our move to this
location.
The proposed use of this location is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning regulations and the
purpose of the zoning district in which the site is located.
The proposed use of this location will be compatible with existing or permitted uses in the vicinity.
The proposed use of this location will not impose any unfavorable impacts on nearby uses in the same
district and the surround area.
The proposed use of this location will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

Agenda Item No:5.2
CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item Report
Meeting Date: February 20, 2024
Submitted by: Calvin Lehmann
Submitting Department: Parks & Recreation
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section:
Subject:
Discuss and consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Services
Contract with Greeniverse Construction, LLC for construction of the Park Loop Trail Phase II and Aquatic Park
Trail Connection in an amount not to exceed $1,146,699.69 to be funded by the Community Development
Corporation. (Lehmann)
Suggested Action:
Background: Funding was approved for the design of the Aquatic Park Trail in 21-22, then for construction in
22-23. Design and Construction were approved for the Park Loop Trail 2A in the 22-23 budget year.
This project involves the construction of two separate segments of 10’ wide shared-use trail. The Park Loop
Trail 2A begins at North Colony Blvd and runs north along the Oncor easement, connecting to Squires Dr. The
Aquatic Park Connection runs from Fire Station 2 to Taylor Street. We consulted with Halff to design both
segments together for economy of scale, and in November of last year, they finished design, receiving 10
sealed bids in December. Greeniverse Construction came in as the low bidder. After Halff reviewed their
qualifications and references, they see no reason not to proceed and provided us with a recommendation letter.
With the cost of construction continuously increasing, staff would recommend moving forward with Greeniverse
to complete both sections of trail.
Total Budgeted for Both Trail Segments:
$1,262,000.00
Halff Consultant Fee:
$148,690.00
Greeniverse Construction Bid:
$1,146,699.69

Re: RFB 59-24-03 Park Loop & Aquatic Trail
Dear Mr. Lehmann
Bids were opened on the above referenced project on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at the City of The
Colony. Ten (10) bids were received, and they ranged from a high bid of $1,600,133.00 to a low bid of
$1,146,699.69. Greeniverse Construction was the low bidder. To verify Greeniverse Construction’s
qualifications, we have contacted the City of Celina, City of Fairview, City of Frisco, City of McKinney,
Hillwood Communities and Sterling Construction who all have awarded and worked with Greeniverse
Construction in the past.
First, we spoke with Scott Harper, Civil Engineer for the City of Celina, concerning Greeniverse
Construction’s performance on the Downtown Overflow Parking project. The project consisted of paving
one concrete parking lot, paving two asphalt parking lots, installing illumination poles, landscaping and
installing 24” storm drain pipe. Mr. Harper informed us that the project was completed but had its challenges.
There were five change orders submitted, which in total was about 4-5% of the overall project cost. One
change order involved the City of Celina hiring an outside surveyor to verify incorrect elevations set by the
contractor. This issue was promptly corrected by Greeniverse. The project had four different
superintendents assigned to the project. Greeniverse informed to the City of Celina that the first three
superintendents were no longer with the company. Mr. Harper stated that if Greeniverse was tasked to
construct a Hike/Bike Trail, he would consider hiring them if guidance was provided.
Second, we spoke with James Chancellor, Town Engineer for the Town of Fairview, concerning
Greeniverse Construction’s performance on the Apple Crossing Trail project. The project consisted of two
8-ft wide concrete trails, grading excavation/embankment and one lower water crossing. Mr. Chancellor
informed us that the project went smooth and they were ahead of schedule. Greeniverse provided one
change order for an item that was not included in the original contract. When issues did arise, Greeniverse
was very quick to provide a sound solution. Mr. Chancellor stated that the Town was very pleased with the
final product and would use Greeniverse again for future trail projects.
147
Third, we spoke with Barry Evans, Civil Engineer for the City of Frisco, concerning Greeniverse
Construction’s performance on the Shaddock Creek Lane Mini Roundabout project. The project consisted
of converting two concrete T-intersections into mini roundabouts for Shaddock Creek Lane. Mr. Evans
informed us that the project got done but also had its challenges. One of the roundabouts had to be
reconstructed as the concrete pavement cracked early on. The mountable curb for roundabout was not
installed correctly and the striping for roundabout peeled up within one year. All issues were addressed
with the maintenance bond and any additional cost was covered by Greeniverse. Mr. Evans stated they
can complete the work but would require extra guidance if he was to rehire again.
Fourth, we spoke with Nick Ataie, former CIP Manager for the City of McKinney, concerning Greenivserse
Construction’s performance on the Craig Ranch Intersection Improvements project. The project consisted
of removal and reconstruction of intersection curb ramps with brick pavers. Mr. Ataie informed us that the
project went fine with no schedule issues. There was a few change orders produced for material
substitutions, nothing that changed or added items to the project. Mr. Ataie stated that he would use them
again if project was small but would consider additional supervision for larger scale projects.
Fifth, we spoke with Renee Cousins, development manager for Hillwood Communities, concerning
Greeniverse Construction’s performance on the Union Park Project in Little Elm, Texas. Greeniverse
Construction was originally a subcontractor for Glenn Thurman (GTI) for the development of Union Park
neighborhood and was granted a separate contract for phase work. This project consisted of concrete curb
ramps, concrete sidewalk (ranging from 5-8 ft wide), stamped concrete crossings, concrete pavement,
signage and striping for a one-way street. Mrs. Cousins informed us that the project went smooth and was
timely. There were no issues with Greeniverse when it came to change orders, RFIs, or any rework. The
contractor was very good with communication and they would hire them again for future work.
Lastly, we spoke with Sara Montazeri, former project manager with Sterling Construction, concerning
Greeniverse Construction’s underground crew performance on the Main Street (FM 3537) Project in Frisco,
Texas. This project consisted of the installation of large diameter storm drain pipe (RCP over 52”), concrete
box culverts and headwalls for 4 miles of divided concrete roadway from Preston Road to Custer Road.
Mrs. Montazeri informed us that there were no issues with this underground crew during construction and
they could easily handle installing large diameter storm drain pipe with a headwall and manhole. The
underground crew was on time, no rework was required, and has been a subcontractor to Mario Sinacola
and RPMX. Mrs. Montazeri stated she would use Greeniverse’s underground crew again for future roadway
projects.
148
Section 252.043 in the Local Government Code states if competitive sealed bids are received, the contract
must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder or to the bidder who provides goods or services at the
best value for the municipality. After considering the purchase price, reputation of the bidders, and the
quality of the bidders’ services, Halff Associates has determined that Greeniverse Construction is the lowest
responsible bidder.
Please call me at (214) 937-3938 if you have any ques tions or would like to discuss.
Sincerely,
HALFF ASSOCIATES, INC.

CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item Report
Meeting Date: February 20, 2024
Submitted by: Calvin Lehmann
Submitting Department: Parks & Recreation
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section:
Subject:
Discuss and consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Contract
with Mooring USA for the renovation of Stewart Creek Elementary Phase 2 (New Recreation Center) through
the TIPS Purchasing Cooperative in an amount not to exceed $1,061,067.00 to be funded by the Community
Development Corporation. (Lehmann)
Suggested Action:
Background: This pertains to the construction of the Senior Community Center segment, or Phase 2 within the
new recreation center building. Mooring, the contractor responsible for compiling this bid, is a member of the
TIPS purchasing Coop and has previously successfully handled asbestos abatement for us. Their work and
communication during the asbestos process, led us reach out to them for their construction renovation
services for this phase of construction.
The bid encompasses various elements, such as the demolition of wall openings in the reception, fitness area,
computer room, and existing flooring and cabinets. Additionally, it includes framing and drywall installation to
cover the majority of CMU walls in hallways, the main assembly area, and classrooms to enhance sound
insulation. Concrete and structural framing are included for the new folding partitions and the ADA ramp leading
to the main stage. Furthermore, Mooring's bid covers new flooring, millwork, painting, Mechanical, Electrical &
Plumbing services, They are also installing the mandated voice-evac fire alarm system in compliance with fire
code regulations. With the overall cost of construction at $45 a square foot, we feel that mooring has given us a
fair price and their construction schedule of 16 weeks aligns with our goals to moving the community center
over to the new building.

Submitted by: Robert Kotasek
Submitting Department: Engineering
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section:
Subject:
Discuss and consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Services
Contract in the amount of $1,640,790.00 with A&B Construction, LLC. for the Sanitary Sewer Pipe Crossing
Replacement on a USACE property near Ragan Place. (Hartline)
Suggested Action:
Background:
City Council approved funding for this project in the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 CIP Budgets.
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 project bids were opened on January 17, 2024 and the low bidder was A&B Construction, LLC. at a cost of
$1,640,790.00. HDR Engineering, Inc., the Project Design Engineer, received positive feedback from
representatives that have previously worked with the contractor and they recommend approval of the contract
with this company.
With approval, the project is anticipated to start construction in March 2024 with an estimated completion in
January 2025.
