B. Authorize engineering services agreement for Panther Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion to 15 MGD – Administrative Memorandum No. 5555

  • Consider recommendation on authorizing execution of engineering

services agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $5,364,255 for preliminary and final engineering design for Project No. 307-0493-18, Panther Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion to 15 MGD

What: Authorize an engineering services agreement for design of the Panther Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Expansion to 15 million gallons per day (MGD) project. Why: Coordination efforts with the City of Frisco identified the need to expand Panther Creek WWTP from the current 10 MGD to 15 MGD annual average daily flow (AADF) capacity to support the city’s growth and population projections. The design includes a preliminary engineering evaluation to recommend improvements to increase the peak flow capacity from 30 MGD to 52.5 MGD.

PANTHER CREEK WWTP EXPANSION TO 15 MGD

Background

  • Panther Creek WWTP serves the City of Frisco and constructed in two

phases in 2006 and 2009.

  • Current permitted discharge capacity of 10 MGD annual average daily

flow (AADF) and 30 MGD peak two-hour flow.

  • Coordination with the City of Frisco indicate an expansion to the

treatment plant is required due to population projections.

  • Flow data indicates the peak two-hour flows at the plant are expected

to increase from 30 MGD to 52.5 MGD and an evaluation is necessary to recommend improvements to store or treat the additional peak flow.

  • Existing electrical system cannot be expanded and a new medium

voltage power yard, distribution loop, and back-up power generation is needed to support this expansion and future expansions.

Action Items

C. Authorize engineering services agreement for Forney Mustang Creek Lift Station, Phase II, and Forney Force Main Improvements Project – Administrative Memorandum No. 5556

  • Consider recommendation on authorizing execution of engineering

services agreement with Hazen and Sawyer in the amount

  • f

$1,331,400 for final engineering design for Project No. 509-0561-20, Forney Mustang Creek Lift Station Phase II and Forney Force Main Improvements

What: Authorize an engineering services agreement for the final design of the Forney Mustang Creek Lift Station Phase II and the Forney Force Main Improvements. Why: The existing 24-inch force main is limiting the capacity of Forney Mustang Creek Lift Station to 12 million gallons per day (MGD). A new force main and expansion of the lift station to 30 MGD are needed to meet the growth projections of the City of Forney.

Background

  • The Forney Mustang Creek Lift Station is currently under construction

with a firm capacity of 12 MGD.

  • The existing 24-inch discharge force main conveys the flow to the

South Mesquite Creek RWWTP for treatment.

  • The City of Forney has requested to increase the capacity of the

Forney Mustang Creek Lift Station to 30 MGD to meet projected flows beyond 2030 due to growth in the service area.

  • A new 17,000 linear feet force main from the Forney Mustang Creek Lift

Station to the Buffalo Creek Lift Station is necessary to increase conveyance capacity to 30 MGD.

  • Planning level estimated construction cost is $14,700,000

Action Items

D. Authorize award of construction contract for Beck Branch Parallel Interceptor Improvements Project – Administrative Memorandum No. 5557

  • Consider recommendation on authorizing award of construction contract

to ARK Contracting Services, LLC, in the amount of $21,014.584 for Project No. 501-0439-16, Beck Branch Parallel Interceptor Improvements, Beck Branch Parallel Interceptor, Phase II, and Plano Spring Creek Force Main Parallel

What: Authorize award of a construction contract for the Beck Branch Parallel Interceptor Phase II and Plano Spring Creek Force Main Parallel portions of the Beck Branch Parallel Interceptor Improvements project. Why: Increase conveyance capacity from the Plano Spring Creek Lift Station No. 2 to the Rowlett Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant to meet projected 2035 flow conditions due to population growth, inflow and infiltration in the cities of Plano and Richardson. Phase 1 of the Beck Branch Parallel Interceptor is currently under construction. This action will award construction of the final segments of the interceptor and force main to the lift station.

Recommendation for Award

  • The Engineer and staff recommend acceptance of the lowest

responsible bid

  • Higher than expected costs are due to the work site restrictions

necessary to protect traffic, adjacent utilities, and roadway pavement in Plano Parkway that are not typical for NTMWD projects

  • r other projects of similar size.
  • Daytime work hours are between the morning and evening rush hour

which reduces the productivity rate and increases labor costs.

  • Some bidders proposed tunneling to mitigate work site restrictions,

but resulted in higher bids.

  • The low bidder, ARK Contracting Services was significantly lower than
  • ther bidders as their crews are flexible and available locally.
  • ARK’s proposal includes night work to improve productivity compared

to other bidders.
