Body
BACKGROUND
The proposed project segments were initially part of the Dallas Water Utilities Department (DWU) Contract 20-473/474 that the City Council awarded to Sisters Asphalt, Inc. (SAI) on September 9, 2021. SAI failed to complete the full scope of work under this contract and submitted a material price escalation claim. The claim was mediated and settled among all contractual parties, including the City of Dallas, SAI, and the surety Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company (ASI), and was approved by the City Council on April 10, 2024. Unfinished segments from the SAI contract were repackaged and advertised for construction bids under this new contract. Funds provided to the City of Dallas as part of the settlement are being used to fund a portion of the cost of this project. The remaining funding is from the unspent portion of the original SAI contract and DWU capital funding.
The existing water and wastewater mains targeted for replacement were built between 1927 and 1971. These mains are contributing to an increase in maintenance costs, as well as service interruptions. The installation of the proposed segments will improve the capacity of the water and wastewater systems and reduce maintenance costs.
This action will authorize a construction services contract with Camino Construction, LP for the installation and rehabilitation of approximately 35,653 feet of water and wastewater mains. This includes approximately 541 feet of 6-inch, 19,034 feet of 8-inch, and 550 feet of 12-inch diameter water mains, and approximately 11,473 feet of 8-inch, 1,975 feet of 10-inch, and 2,080 feet of 12-inch diameter wastewater mains
