SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., to provide project management, data collection, contract reviews, contract matrix
development, and post-analysis services support for the Water Resource Management Analysis Project for
the Water Utilities Division; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective
date (RFQ 7574-007 – Professional Services Agreement for analysis services awarded to Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $95,000.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The City of Denton Water Utilities Division is requesting assistance with the analysis and planning
associated with the City’s water resource obligations. Currently, there are several expired contracts with the
City of Dallas and the Upper Trinity Water District that need to be renewed and or re-negotiated. These
contracts directly impact the City’s water portfolio with regards to the purchase and sale of raw water. In
addition, they outline the operating agreements for both Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts. This
analysis will include the collection of all current contracts, review of contracts and associated documents,
development of a contract summary matrix, and Kimley-Horn and Associates will provide
recommendations for steps forward.
The Engineer will review the Average Day and/or Peak Day commitments including the level of service
provided by the City of Denton with other entities. The Engineer will also develop a comprehensive contract
matrix including all water and wastewater contract terms and provisions as well as a quick reference guide
for future use. This analysis will assist with the future development of the Water and Wastewater Master
Plans, distinguishing future infrastructure improvements throughout the City of Denton.
Based on the qualifications, knowledge, and experience in designing projects of similar type and magnitude,
staff selected Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. from a list of qualified consultants to perform this work.
Request for Qualifications for professional engineering services for Water and Wastewater was solicited
using the City’s formal solicitation process. City Council approved a pre-qualified list of engineering firms
on March 23, 201 (Ordinance 21-546).
