you to bring them to the shelter for a meet and greet. Kenny pulls on
the leash, but he can work on this behavior with some training andcorrections. He weighs about 66 pounds, so a person with experiencehandling larger dogs would be ideal for fostering or adopting him.Come Meet Kenny today! Contact Denton Animal Services by phone

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Solid Waste Services at Denton Enterprise Airport
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The provision of solid waste services at Denton Enterprise Airport is complicated due to the unique conditions of the airport property ownership and leasing, as well as the evolving needs of the tenants. The historical solid waste model created inequities between tenants, placing unnecessary costs on the airport, and encouraged illegal dumping across and around the airport property. In response, the airport has implemented a new service model where tenants will either receive
individual dumpster services if space allows or pay for access to shared dumpster service based on their weekly waste volume. Moving forward, the shared dumpster rates will be clarified in the solid waste rates ordinance and fee schedule, and enhancements will be made to the shared site, including security features.
BACKGROUND:
The provision of solid waste services at Denton Enterprise Airport is somewhat complex due to the unique properties and uses present. All development at the airport occurs through a ground lease, with the City of Denton retaining ownership of the property. Many of these leases have existed for decades, with property uses and solid waste needs evolving. As the airport has grown,
many existing hangars that initially served as aircraft storage have been upgraded to support
aeronautical business operations. While this trend benefits the airport, it also increases the demand for solid waste services.
Until this fiscal year, most buildings at the airport received solid waste services in one of two ways:
1.A dumpster was placed on-site at the building location under the utility account of thebuilding occupant; or2.Tenants and users utilized two on-airport dumpsters managed and funded by the airportwith no service cost recovery present.
DISCUSSION: This framework presented several challenges. First, the airport funded solid waste services for some but not all airport users despite provisions in airport lease agreements stating that solid waste
service is the tenant's responsibility. The cost to the airport was approximately $13,000 annually.
This situation creates a clear inequity in obligations among airport tenants. Second, the dumpsters became a site for regular dumping of non-airport refuse by both airport users and non-airport users. The cost of addressing this illegal dumping fell on the city.
Due to a significant increase in illegal dumping, the airport decided to remove the airport-funded
dumpsters and reassess the provision of solid waste services.
52
May 2, 2025 Report No. 2025-043
Solution A plan has been developed to provide a sustainable solid waste solution for all airport tenants in
collaboration between Denton Enterprise Airport, Solid Waste and Recycling, and Customer Service.
Where feasible, leaseholds requiring solid waste service and having the space to accommodate and
maintain a dumpster will, like any commercial customer, work with Customer Service to rent a dumpster, place it at the service location, and receive services.
For tenants who cannot physically accommodate a dumpster or whose volume does not generally justify dumpster service, the airport will offer a shared dumpster service model, similar to other
shared service dumpsters across the City. In this model, tenants will request access to a shared dumpster, located and secured on airport property, and pay a per-cubic-yard rate based on their anticipated refuse volume (with a minimum charge for one cubic yard of weekly refuse). The shared dumpster would be located in a common area, but access would be restricted to those who pay for the service.
This solution is scalable, depending on the overall need for solid waste services at the airport, and equitable since each airport tenant will manage their solid waste service through their utility account with the City of Denton.
Next Steps
While the per-cubic-yard rate is based on the city’s current dumpster rate, Solid Waste and Recycling will include a specific shared dumpster rate in its budget proposal that outlines the per-cubic-yard costs.
Once this service model is in place, the airport will enhance the shared dumpster site by adding
screening walls and a security gate managed through the airport’s security access system.
CONCLUSION:
This new solid waste service model will provide all airport tenants a scalable, sustainable, and equitable solution.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Hickory Creek Phase 3 capital project
BACKGROUND:
Hickory Creek Road between Country Club Road (FM 1830) and the existing at-grade railroad
crossing with Kansas City Southern Railroad (KCS) was identified as a safety concern.
Temporary improvements were made to the road, but significant reconstruction was required to
keep the road in service. A re-alignment was determined to be the best solution for the corridor.
The Hickory Creek Road Phase 3 project aims to provide a safer and more direct extension from
Hickory Creek Road Phase 2 to FM 1830/Country Club Road.
Project Scope
Hickory Creek Road Phase 3 realignment will create a safer, shorter, and more direct route
between Riverpass Dr and FM1830. The new Hickory Creek Road bridge will span
approximately 2,500 feet over the floodway reducing roadway flooding and over the Canadian
Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) railway (formerly KCS) to separate the at-grade rail/road traffic.
Phase 3 will widen the existing alignment from 2-lanes to 4 lanes to provide increased roadway
capacity and the new road/bridge section will include street illumination and 10-foot sidewalks.
Project History
On Feb. 12, 2019, the City executed a design contract for Hickory Creek Road Phase 3. In Nov.
5, 2019, the 2019 Bond Election passed providing $34M for Hickory Creek Road Phase 3.
Preliminary road designs were submitted to the railroad on Feb. 19, 2021; the road/bridge
designs were completed/signed/sealed on Nov. 5, 2021; KCS approved the design on Feb. 4,
2022.
Twelve (12) real estate parcels were identified as being needed, several utilities were identified
as being in conflict, and the KCS railroad agreement coordination was underway. Due to
escalating construction prices, a decision was made to bid the project to secure the best possible
bids with the known risks of not having a “fully clear” project to construct.
The project was bid for construction on Jan. 14, 2022, and bids were received from three (3)
bidders. On May 3, 2022, the contract was awarded to Mario Sinacola for $52,022,433.88
(including the standard 5% contingency). Real Estate, Utilities, and Railroad conflicts continued
making progress. Eleven (11) of the twelve (12) parcels were acquired by September 2022, but
the twelfth parcel could not be negotiated and required Eminent Domain. The Contractor was
55
May 2, 2025 Report No. 2025-044
issued a Notice to Proceed (NTP) on Sept. 28, 2022, to begin the project as utility clearance,
railroad coordination, and real estate acquisition continued. The bridge design was modified to
clear direct impact with two gas lines to allow the project to proceed. Railroad agreement
review/coordination with Oncor continued overhead electric conflicts. To allow more time, a
modified Notice to Proceed was issued for Feb. 13, 2023, and construction began.
In March 2023, two (2) years after KCS approved the road/bridge design and almost approving
the railroad agreement, an international merger with KCS and Canadian Pacific Railroad (CP)
took place. On Apr. 14, 2023, KCS merged with Canadian Pacific creating the Canadian Pacific
Kansas City (CPKC) railroad. The merger brought the nearly approved railroad agreement to a
halt and required a restart of negotiations with the newly formed CPKC.
On Sept. 12, 2023, road/bridge construction stopped due to work inefficiencies around the
Railroad, Oncor Electric lines (which also required railroad coordination), and the need for the
final right-of-way parcel.
Despite these challenges, significant progress was made in mid-2024 thru March 2025,
specifically: on July 26, 2024, the final parcel was acquired; on Dec. 6, 202,4 the Oncor Electric
lines were cleared; on Dec. 17, 2024, City Council approved the Railroad Agreement; on Dec.
19, 2024, developer-related coordination was complete; on Mar. 3, 2025, CPKC executed the
Railroad Agreement; on Mar. 5, 2025, TxDOT approved the access permit for work on FM1830;
and on Mar. 13, 2025 a gas foam line conflict was removed clearing all direct utility conflicts.
Two (2) gas lines requiring relocation remain but are not directly impacted by construction.
Capital Projects is actively working on finalizing the terms of the agreements and relocations. On
Mar. 6, 2025, the City met with the Contractor who is looking forward to resuming work with
the approval of the Change Order addressing the escalations.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Change Order
The Original Change Order as proposed exceeded $12.5M. Staff negotiated with the contractor
to the current proposal of a not-to-exceed amount of $9,891,549.22 which resulted in
approximately 21% ($2.7M) lower than the original proposal. The proposed Change Order
amount of $9,891,549.22 is 15% of the original Not to Exceed amount. The Change Order will
cover the following cost increases: Labor Escalation, Equipment Escalation, Material Escalation,
Subcontractor Escalation, AFCO Steel Freight and Storage, 1% Bond, Extended Overhead and
Delay Time for Project Manager, Extended Project Survey Time, Outside Equipment Rent,
Structural Inefficiencies – Working on columns adjacent to power lines, Reestablish
Construction Site & Creek Crossing, and Traffic Control/Barricades.
56
May 2, 2025 Report No. 2025-044
The most significant cost increase item is Equipment Escalation which makes up approximately
$5M (46%) of the proposed change order. The original bid included company-owned equipment.
Due to the project delay, that equipment is no longer available as it is being used for another
project. An equipment escalation cost is now required to pay for the needed equipment rentals.
All invoices related to material, labor, and equipment will be reviewed and monitored for
compliance with the quotes provided in the Change Order Proposal.
The change order funding is proposed to use $1,977,258.76 of the existing $2,477,258.76 project
contingency leaving $500,000 of the original contingency to manage future change orders
efficiently and quickly to minimize possible delays. In addition to using the existing
$1,977,258.76 contingency, the change order will require an additional $7,914,290.46. Sources
for the funds are identified and shown below:

Cost Analysis
The Proposed change order amount is 15% ($7,914,290.46) greater than the Existing Not-to-
Exceed amount. An additional cost analysis was performed applying a standard 5% annual
escalation rate to the Original Not-to-Exceed amount which shows the project is $320,675.66
less than an expected 2025 Not-to-Exceed amount and therefore not excessive.

Bidding Options - Cancel Project, Delay Bid, Re-Bid
The existing Hickory Creek Road required closing for safety during construction. This made the
Hickory Creek Road Phase 3 project different from the City’s other large roadway
widenings/extensions such as Mayhill Road and Bonnie Brae Road which could allow existing
traffic during construction to maintain access and mobility.
In turn, canceling the project was never considered a viable option due to the demand for the
corridor and traffic having no alternate route with sufficient capacity to mitigate the required
road closure.
Delaying the project until all items were clear (ROW, Utilities, Railroad Agreement, gas lines,
developments, etc.) is the most desirable approach to a project, but this project presented high
risks to both schedule and costs and increased inconvenience to local and regional traffic. The
City accepted the risk of bidding the project to exploit the potential to save time and ideally
money by securing 2022 bid prices.
Rebidding the project has always been an option and has been frequently considered. Staff
considered that the original project only received three (3) contractor bidders and no guarantee
that companies would be willing to bid on a partially constructed project. The known risks were
too high to re-bid and outweighed the benefits of keeping the existing contract/bid.
58
May 2, 2025 Report No. 2025-044
CONCLUSION:
Based on the information provided, it is recommended that a change order be approved.
Key Reasons for Approval:
•Necessary for Project Completion: The change order addresses essential factors that haveimpacted the project's timeline and budget, such as utility conflicts, railroad agreements,and increased material and labor costs.
•Reasonable Cost Increase: The negotiated change order amount represents a 15% increase,
which is well within procurement law’s allowable percentage.
•Positive Impact on Project: Approving the change order will allow the project to proceedwith a revised timeline and budget, ensuring its successful completion.
Recommendation:
The change order request is scheduled for City Council consideration on May 6, 2025. The requested change order of $7,914,290.46 will enable the contractor to remobilize on-site and recommence work on May 12, 2025. The project is expected to be complete by Q4 2026.
