CITY COUNCIL REPORT
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Lloyd V. Harrell, City Manager
SUBJECT: BID #1338 - PECAN CREEK WASTEWATER PLANT EXPANSION
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend this bid be awarded to the lowest bidder, Gracon
Construction Company ("Gracon") for the expansion of the Pecan Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant to 15 MGD in the amount of $8,647,000.00 including a $50,000
deduction for deleting the Grit Removal Chamber Bypass. This project also includes
the necessary improvements to meet the TWC and EPA permit requirements.
City Staff, Alan Plummet and Associates, (Engineering) and PUB recommend
approval.
SUMMARY: This bid is for the expansion of the Pecan Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant to either 13 MGD or 15 MGD. The low bid for the 15 MGD expansion
($8,647,000) is below the estimates for the 13 MGD expansion ($9,100,000). The
expansion to the 15 MGD was planned for completion in 1997. By constructing the
15 MGD expansion at this time $3,080,000 can be deleted from the 96' and 97' CIP.
The Grit Removal Chamber Bypass deletion does not effect capacity and was designed
as a convenience type alternate only. All parties involved recommend this deletion.
Gracon was the successful contractor on the 1985 Wastewater Treatment Plant
Expansion.
BACKGROUND: Tabulation Sheet, Minutes from Public Utility Board.
PROGRAMS~ DEPARTMENTS OR GROUPS AFFECTED: City of Denton Municipal
Utilities, Alan Plummet and Associates, Gracon Construction Co.
FISCAL IMPACT: Current funds available for this project in account number #670-
082-RR87-U102-9101 are $1,022,636.00. The balance is intended to come from 1993
CIP Funds. This is a multi year project and was begun in 1991.
