DATE: June 15, 2021
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager, or their designee, to execute a contract with Tenly Landscape Construction
Inc., for irrigation services for various City of Denton departments; providing for the expenditure of funds
therefor; and providing an effective date (IFB 7634 – awarded to Tenly Landscape Construction Inc. for
one (1) year, with the option for four (4) additional one (1) year extensions, in the total five (5) year not-to-
exceed amount of $2,000,000.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The proposed contract will be used to perform installations and repairs of irrigation systems throughout the
City of Denton. The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) currently employs 4 technicians that
maintain all irrigation systems including athletic fields, parks, public buildings, and landscaped
roadways. Historically, PARD has completed installations with internal staff, however, as the inventory
continues to grow this crew is no longer able to perform installations while properly maintaining operational
irrigation systems.
The typical life expectancy of an irrigation system is 10 – 30 years depending on the frequency of use. Due
to the heavy usage of many systems and the high-water demand of athletic fields, there are parks in need of
immediate irrigation system replacement. For example, listed below is a priority list of parks that are in
need of system replacement due to age, cumulative usage, and lost efficiency:
Ranking Park Age Usage
1 Denia Park 24 years Heavy – 1728 hrs annually
2 Mack Park (Both sides of McKinney St.) 30 years Heavy – 1728 hrs annually
3 North Lakes Soccer Complex 25 years Heavy – 1728 hrs annually
4 Quakertown Park (South Side) 30 years Moderate – 1440 hrs annually
5 Emily Fowler Library 30 years Moderate – 1440 hrs annually
6 MLK Recreation Center 24 years Moderate – 1440 hrs annually
7 Denton Senior Center 25 years Moderate – 1440 hrs annually
8 Evers Baseball Fields 1&2 21 years Heavy – 1728 hrs annually
9 Evers Baseball Fields 3-6 18 years Heavy – 1728 hrs annually
10 North Lakes Recreation Center 24 years Moderate – 1440 hrs annually

With the addition of the Irrigation Services Contract, PARD will be able to replace the systems listed above
in the order of importance using annually budgeted capital maintenance funds.
The Water and Wastewater Departments will use this contract to make minor repairs to private irrigation
when damaged by our crews when repairing water leaks, wastewater lines, manhole installations,
water/sewer main installs, water/sewer service installation and repair, fire hydrant repair, and installation,
water/sewer taps, clean out, and meter install/repair.
The Solid Waste & Recycling Department will utilize this contract for the installation, maintenance, repair,
or replacement (upgrade) of the irrigation systems for the Solid Waste & Recycling facilities. The facilities
consist of the Landfill Landscape Buffer Zone which is a requirement per a Mediated Settlement Agreement
pertaining to the Solid Waste permit 1590A, as well as a fuel and vehicle wash station, the administration
building, the scale house, etc., along with sidewalks and roads. The facilities are in need of new or improved
irrigation systems as some are outdated and inoperable.
The Streets & Drainage Departments will utilize this contract for minor repairs to private irrigation systems
damaged during the removal and replacement of the sidewalk, pavement, curb, and gutter. The Streets
Department will require the irrigation contractor to troubleshoot and restore the irrigation system to the
preexisting condition.
