Exhibit 1 - Agenda Information Sheet - Amendment 1City of Denton
_____________________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Procurement
ACM: Christine Taylor
DATE: July 15, 2025
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 contract between the City of Denton and DKJ Concrete
Construction, Inc., amending the contract approved by City Council on September 20, 2022, in the not-to-
exceed amount of $5,250,000.00; said first amendment to continue to provide utility cut restoration services
for the Water Utilities Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an
effective date (RFP 8046 – providing for an additional first amendment expenditure amount not-to-exceed
$1,312,500.00, with the total contract amount not-to-exceed $6,562,500.00). The Public Utilities Board
recommends approval (5 - 0).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
This proposed amendment increases funding for an existing contract for utility cut restoration services. The
contract supports the timely restoration of utility cuts, helping utility departments avoid late permit fees and
improving service to the community through quicker roadway repairs.
Since the contract’s start, the City has experienced unexpected increases in restoration costs and a higher
volume of utility cuts than anticipated. The Procurement Department approved the first price increase on
September 27, 2022. More recently, on March 3, 2025, Procurement approved an increase to the pricing
sheet to reflect updated market rates for labor and materials. Despite these adjustments, the increased
demand has caused available funds to be expended faster than projected.
In April 2022, the Internal Audit Department completed a review identifying delays in closing work orders
due to outstanding utility cut restorations. Over 30% of work orders remained open for 100 days or more,
far exceeding the City's 30-day target. Timely restorations are essential to closing work orders, maintaining
permit compliance, and reducing roadway disruptions for the community. Increasing the contract funding
will ensure the vendor can continue supporting efficient service delivery and meet the City’s restoration
timelines.
