Action
Requested: Authorize additional expenditures with Wildstone Construction, LLC
for the construction of the Jones Branch Sewer Relocation as well as
emergency repairs of the water and wastewater infrastructure for a
total of an amount not to exceed of $1,750,000.
Background
Information: The City of Southlake requires the assistance of a third-party utility
contractor to complete large scale emergency repairs of critical
water infrastructure as the need arises. Smaller scale emergency
repairs are performed in-house by Public Works Water Division
personnel. Public Works Water and Wastewater divisions have
estimated a total of $1,000,000 for the Jones Branch Sewer
Relocation as well as emergency repairs for the remainder of FY
2023.
Jones Branch Emergency Sewer Relocation is a time sensitive
project that is at high risk of becoming a health and safety risk to
those currently residing along Jones Branch Creek and
downstream. This is due to soil erosion in the area compromising
and threatening the integrity of the infrastructure.
Previous authorization with Wildstone was approved for $750,000 on
November 1, 2022.
