Body
BACKGROUND
The 2006 and 2012 Bond Programs provided funding for design and construction of storm drainage relief improvements for the Mill Creek / Peaks Branch / State-Thomas watersheds. On February 14, 2018, City Council authorized a construction contract with Southland Mole JV., for the construction of the Mill Creek / Peaks Branch / State-Thomas Drainage Relief Tunnel Project by Resolution No. 18-0296. The project includes a 5-mile tunnel that will provide drainage and flooding relief to the lower areas of the Mill Creek watershed (around Baylor Hospital), Peaks Branch watershed (south of Buckner Park), and East Peaks Branch watershed (around Fair Park area). It will also provide drainage and flooding relief to the State-Thomas area near Woodall Rodgers.
This action will authorize Change Order No. 1 to the construction services contract with Southland Mole JV for repairs and improvements to existing storm drainage systems directly connected with the Mill Creek tunnel system and increased quantities for tunnel support, paving restoration, water, and wastewater improvements. The repairs and improvements to existing drainage systems are necessary to address failed infrastructure and conveyance limitations directly upstream of tunnel intake points. Increased quantities for changed site conditions include welded wire mesh, rock bolts, reinforced concrete pavement and sidewalk, water and wastewater pipe. No additional contract time is included with this change order.
