not-to-exceed $5,625,000.00). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6 - 0).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
USIC provides underground locates for DME, Water, Wastewater, and Technology Services. The locates
are required by law anytime excavation is conducted. Texas 811 is the statewide program that manages the
locate requests and provides the City of Denton with notification. The City is obligated to locate its facilities
utilizing city staff or, in this case, a third-party vendor within the required time frame. The substantial
construction in and around the city has increased steadily over the four (4) years of the contract. The NTE
amendment will provide funds to utilize the last remaining year of the contract. A future RFP will be issued
to replace the current contract prior to the depletion of the amended funds.
