DATE: October 8, 2019
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with NO-DIGTEC, LLC, through The Interlocal
Purchasing System (TIPS) Cooperative Program Contract # 171105 for the supply of pipe bursting and
related services for Wastewater Utilities; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an
effective date (File 7165 – awarded to NO-DIGTEC, LLC, in the amount of $642,350). The Public Utilities
Board recommends approval (7 - 0).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Portions of the Rayzor Ranch development are served by the existing 10-inch sewer line from Scripture to
I-35. The Water and Sewer analyses used to determine the infrastructure needed to serve the Rayzor Ranch
Town Center was completed by Kimley Horn in 2007 and summarized in the General Development Plan
for Rayzor Ranch. These analyses indicated the capacity of the existing Scripture to I-35 line would be
exceeded by the development, and the development would be required to upsize the existing 10-inch line
to a 12-inch, or possibly a 15-inch line.
The existing sewer line is currently at capacity, and a portion of the sewage that was designed to flow into
this line has been temporarily rerouted to the north until the Scripture to I-35 line can be completed. The
developer is paying the costs associated with this project. The City of Denton is committing to managing
the project, which includes installing the portion of the line near I-35 using the City of Denton construction
crews and a boring contractor. The City will be reimbursed for design work, project management, and
construction.
The City of Denton’s Engineering Department has completed additional analyses and has determined that
the installation of a 12-inch line on the northern section of the project and a 15 to 16-inch line on the
southern section is acceptable. The majority of the line upsizing will be accomplished by pipe bursting,
which is a technique whereby equipment is used to destroy the existing pipe and install the new pipe without
unearthing the existing line. The 16-inch line is needed for the pipe bursting section due to the fact that the
HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pipe installed during the bursting process cannot be purchased in 15-
inch diameter. NO-DIGTEC, LLC, provided a proposal according to TIPS Cooperative Contract No.
171105 for pipe bursting and related services to complete a portion of the project.
Pricing obtained through The Interlocal Purchasing System has been competitively bid and meets the
statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.
