AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Procurement
ACM: Christine Taylor
DATE: October 13, 2026
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 to the contract between the City of Denton
and BRCT LLC, dba Black Rock Construction, for the construction of the Baker Offsite Sewer Project with
the geographical limits as follows: Masch Branch Road from Hampton Road to Jim Crystal Road for the
Capital Projects Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective
date (IFB 8833 – Change Order No. 1, in the not-to-exceed amount of $312,603.46, for a total contract
award aggregated to $3,032,220.01). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (5 - 0).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Baker Offsite Sewer Project is a component of the 2024 Wastewater Master Plan. The project includes
the installation of approximately 9,114 linear feet of sewer line along Masch Branch Road, extending from
Hampton Road to Jim Crystal Road. This improvement supports efficient and sustainable wastewater
management, protects public health and safety, and strengthens the City’s wastewater treatment and
conveyance infrastructure to accommodate projected population growth over the next 25 years.
Council authorized the construction contract with Black Rock Construction Inc. on May 19, 2026. The
original project total of $2,719,616.55 included $129,505.55 for the Owners' Contingency, which is
designated for the sole use of the City in the event of encountering unforeseeable conditions and at the
City's discretion.
During construction activities, bore quantities were shown not to match what the engineering plans show.
Engineering plans called for boring of the Sanitary Sewer lateral to be done under Fisher 59. Quantities
from engineering did not capture this additional 96 LF, along with the Casing needing to provide protection.
During clearing activities, contractor crews disturbed an active creek within an Environmental Sensitive
Area (ESA). After investigation of where the creek lies, plans show open-cut across the creek several more
times in portions that actively hold water. After discussion of options, the best course would be to bore
across the creek as opposed to open-cutting to minimize the impact to the ESA.

The purpose of Change Order No. 1 is to provide additional funding for planned boring under private
property for the Fisher 59 property to install and tie in a sewer lateral line, unplanned bores and sewer line
installation under active creek channels within a Floodplain Environmental Sensitive Area (ESA) and
Riparian Buffer Environmental Sensitive Area (ESA), along with temporary creek crossing bridges to cross
channels within the forested region.
The total amount for this change order is $312,603.46, which will increase the project total to
$3,032,220.01. The existing contingency allowance of $129,505.55 is not being utilized for this change
order to be made available for any future unforeseen changes in the project. A contingency allowance is for
the sole use of the City and will be subject to written authorization by the City’s Project Manager and
Program Manager.
