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., for regulatory permitting/approval support, process evaluation, design services, bidding
assistance, construction phase services, and easement acquisition for the I-35 to Milam Creek Phase II
Project for the Water Utilities Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing
an effective date (RFQ 7574-010 – Professional Services Agreement for design and construction phase
services awarded to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $751,100.00). The
Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6 - 0).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is widening the Interstate 35 (I-35) corridor in numerous
areas throughout the City of Denton. The widening of I-35 presents conflicts with existing water and
wastewater infrastructures entailing their relocations. Through a holistic approach, the Water Utilities
Division took the opportunity to evaluate the current and future demands in the region as a direct impact on
the widening of I-35. Kimley Horn and Associates was hired to assist with the design of the relocations as
well as to identify the future demands as a result of expected growth. The first phase of the I-35 Utility
Relocation Contract included services to analyze the sewer basin projected flows for potential development
within the Milam Creek to Loop 288 area. The study indicated the existing sewer infrastructure is
inadequate and recommended their upsizing and rerouting. Due to these recommendations, an engineering
consulting firm is required to design the necessary infrastructures.
The design will include the construction of a 3.3-MGD (million gallons per day) regional sanitary sewer
lift station and will consolidate and decommission two other small problematic lift stations. Along with the
lift station, there will be 11,400 ft. of 12-inch force mains and 10,500 ft. of 18-inch to 36-inch gravity sewer
mains in order to serve future developments along the I-35 northwest corridor and clear the wastewater
infrastructure conflicts identified with the I-35 TxDOT widening project. These Water Utilities
modifications will support the projected growth within the I-35 northwest corridor.
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, 2021 (Ordinance 21-546).
