ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The 2011 and 2018 Collection System Master Plans determined that an additional lift station would be required to service the east side of the city. Birkhoff, Hendricks & Carter L.L.P., (BHC) originally designed the Midway Branch Lift Station with a force main utilizing the utility corridor running through the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA) in 2015. It has now been determined that Upper Trinity Regional Water District maintains exclusive access through this corridor forcing the City of Lewisville to evaluate alternate routes. A study in 2023 identified a new route; the change in the force main alignment from the Midway Branch Lift Station necessitates a new agreement for design services from BHC in the amount of $1,599,500.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the agreement as set forth in the caption above.
