DATE: December 17, 2024
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the approval of a first amendment to a Professional Services Agreement between the City of
Denton and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., amending the contract approved by City Council on June 4,
2024, in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,259,400.00, said first amendment to provide engineering design
and easement acquisition services for the Clear Creek Interceptor project for the Wastewater Department;
providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFQ 8213-001 – providing
for an additional first amendment expenditure amount not-to-exceed $1,590,800.00, for a total contract
amount not-to-exceed $2,850,200.00). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (5 - 0).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The original contract was established for engineering services focused on the conceptual design and due
diligence for "a major wastewater interceptor in the near future in the Clear Creek Basin." Per the City of
Denton Wastewater Master Plan, the project involved designing approximately 7.5 miles of 27-inch to 42-
inch sanitary sewer pipeline. This pipeline will begin at the future Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant
Site (located approximately 5,500 feet north of the Hartlee Field Road and Collins Street intersection),
extend westward along Clear Creek to the Milam Creek confluence, and connect to the influent gravity
piping at the Ganzer Road Lift Station (at the southeast corner of Ganzer Road and IH-35), which is
currently under design.
The initial scope of services includes Design Management, Alignment Study, Topographic Survey,
Nationwide Permitting, Archaeological Services, ESA Field Assessments, Tree Survey, Alignment
Revisions, Easement Preparation, TxDOT RULIS, and Gas Pipeline Encroachments.
This amendment to the scope of work addresses the high development interest within the Clear Creek Basin
and the pressing need for expanded wastewater services to support the area's rapid growth. To meet this
increased demand, the amendment provides for the continuation of comprehensive engineering design and
easement acquisition services, positioning the city to move forward with constructing the Clear Creek
Interceptor. The revised scope adds essential tasks: Preliminary Design, Final Design, Bid Phase Services,
and Easement Acquisition Services. These additions ensure all phases from planning through construction
are covered, facilitating efficient progress on this critical infrastructure project.
