Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,

Services, LLC., amending the contract approved by City Council on September 28, 2021, in the not-to-

Utilities Board recommends approval (6 - 0).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Denton Municipal Electric (DME) operates an electric distribution system in the greater Denton area, which
is comprised of a system voltage of 13,200 volts. The City has a complement of electric system operating
personnel to perform normal operating, maintenance, and construction work on the system. However, DME
needs outside contractor services to supplement that workforce, with qualified personnel, on a project need
basis for performing overhead construction projects, maintenance job orders, and emergency system
restoration.
One of the projects has been a pole inspection project under contract 6993, which was council approved in
2019. This project is 100% complete and has inspected over 14,000 existing poles. Pole inspections have
identified 1,794 poles needing to be replaced throughout DME’s infrastructure. To date, DME maintenance
crews and Primoris have changed out 1,406 of the poles that needed replacing. The remaining 388 poles to
be replaced will deplete the current contract (RFP# 7725 Overhead Construction) before the expiration date
of September 28, 2026. A future RFP will be issued to replace the current contract before the depletion of
the amended funds.
