RFB No. 2024-0338-B for Sanitary Sewer Improvements: Legacy Drive, Ohio Drive, Prestonwood Country Club and Timbercreek Drive, Project No. 7039, for the Engineering Department to Stoic Civil Construction, Inc. in the amount of $1,895,000; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Approved

The Engineering Department opened bids on May 7, 2024 for the Sanitary Sewer Improvements: Legacy Drive, Ohio Drive, Prestonwood Country Club and Timbercreek Drive Project No. 7039. The project includes new gabion wall installations at the Prestonwood Country Club and Timbercreek Drive to limit erosion concerns and protect existing aerial sanitary sewer crossings at these subject locations.  Also, the project includes the installation of a new 12” sanitary sewer siphon to accommodate the existing 8” sanitary sewer siphon west of Preston Road and south of Legacy Drive. The additional siphon will allow proper maintenance and increase efficiency of the existing, smaller siphon pipe that often has surcharging due to its inefficient size. 

The lowest responsive and responsible bid was submitted by Stoic Civil Construction, Inc., in the amount of $1,895,000. There were a total of 1585 vendors notified of this project. Four complete bids were received for the project as shown in the attached bid recap.

If this project is not awarded, it will result in the continued bank erosion and deterioration along Indian Creek at the Prestonwood Country Club and along Pittman Creek running at the rear of residential homes located on Timbercreek Drive. Also, failure to construct the additional siphon pipe will result in increased maintenance costs, non-compliance with recent Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements, deficiencies and surcharging in the existing collection system, and odor concerns in the existing 8” sanitary sewer siphon south of Legacy and west of Preston Road. Failure to complete these improvements will also result in a decrease in the quality of life for citizens and businesses located in direct proximity to these subject areas.

Funding for this item is available in the 2023-24 Sewer CIP and is planned for future years, as well.  Construction services for the Sanitary Sewer Improvements - Legacy Drive, Ohio Drive, Prestonwood Country Club, and Timbercreek Drive project, in the total amount of $1,895,000, will leave a balance of $133,337 for future expenses.

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
