Body
BACKGROUND
Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) owns and operates a 48-inch water transmission pipeline that provides treated water to several customers, including Irving and the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The existing pipeline was built in 1972 and is located within a 20-foot-wide easement through Irving. Since being built, the area has been fully developed with residential improvements, including numerous fences, retaining walls, and backyard improvements crossing the easement. These private improvements, including some encroachments into the existing water pipeline easement, have resulted in insufficient accessibility for maintenance and operation of a portion of the pipeline.
The City of Dallas and the City of Irving have mutually determined that a section of the pipeline within the City of Irving should be relocated in the interest of both Dallas and Irving customers. The pipeline between Ranchview Drive and Ranch Trail with the least amount of access will be relocated to the public right-of-way to improve maintenance and operational accessibility. On September 23, 2020, City Council authorized an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Dallas and the City of Irving for the relocation of the 48-inch water line within the Irving Corporate limits by Resolution No. 20-1465 and a construction contract for the relocation of the 48-inch water transmission pipeline along Ranchview Drive and Ranch Trail by Resolution No. 20-1466.
During construction, unforeseen conflicts with Oncor electric conduits and a City of Irving 24-inch water line required changes to the design of the relocated pipeline and additional appurtenances to complete the work. The design changes were approved by Dallas and Irving and the contractor provided a proposal to complete the additional work. Dallas and Irving reviewed the proposal from Ark Contracting, LLC for the additional and found it to be acceptable. Per the terms of the Interlocal Agreement, Irving will provide funding for 37% of the additional costs.
This action will authorize an increase in the construction services contract with Ark Contracting Services, LLC and the receipt and deposit of funding from the City of Irving for their portion of the project cost as established by the Interlocal Agreement.
