Item 5DCity of Southlake, Texas MEMORANDUM October 19, 2004 To: Billy Campbell, City Manager From: Pedram Farahnak, P.E., Director of Public Works Subject: Authorize the Mayor to execute a Commercial Developer's Agreement with M.C. Properties for the construction of a 12" water line along SH 114 from N. Kimball Avenue to Briarwood Drive. Action Requested: Authorize the Mayor to execute a Commercial Developer's Agreement with M.C. Properties for the construction of a 12" water line along SH 114 from N. Kimball Avenue to Briarwood Drive. Background Information: Currently there is no water line in existence on SH 114 service road from N. Kimball Avenue to Briarwood Drive. A 12" water line was constructed by a developer in the past and is connected to a 6" water line located in Briarwood drive which runs from E. Highland Street. The 04/05 CIP includes $200,000 for a project to construct a 12" water line from N. Kimball Avenue to the existing 12" water line at Briarwood Drive to provide adequate water pressure and volume to this area of the City. This project is scheduled for completion by mid 2006. During the past few months, the developer has constructed an office building at the northwest corner of Briarwood Drive and the Westbound SH 114 Frontage Road. This building is required to be sprinkled. After determining that the existing 6" water line, to which the existing 12" water line is connected, will not provide enough pressure and volume to operate the sprinkler system in his building, the developer has convinced some of his neighboring property owners to participate with him in constructing 1,192 L.F. of 12" water line along SH 114 from N. Kimball Avenue to Briarwood Drive, now, instead of waiting until the City constructs the water line in the future. By City policy, the City will reimburse the developer for the oversize cost between an 8" water line and a 12" water line. The most that the City could participate with the developer using negotiated prices instead of sealed bid prices is 30% of the cost. The developer has provided the City staff with price quotes from his contractor and they are in line with what we would expect to get with sealed bids. Financial Considerations: The 04/05 CIP includes $200,000 for the construction of a 12" water line from N. Kimball Avenue to Briarwood Drive. The developer is requesting reimbursement of $14,669.63 for oversize cost and $42,633.63 for other City participation in the cost of constructing the 12" water line from N. Kimball Avenue to Briarwood Drive for a total City reimbursement of $57,303.26. Citizen Input/ Board Review: None Legal Review: This is the City's standard Commercial Developer's Agreement, originally drafted by the City Attorney. Alternatives: The Council may approve it, deny it or modify it.
