ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
In 2007, City Council approved an ordinance adopting the 2004 Edition NCTCOG Construction Specifications for Public Works Projects. All City capital public works projects are designed, bid and constructed based on these construction specifications. The Garden Ridge Trail Project was funded with a NCTCOG grant which covers 80% of the estimated cost of the trail at the time the grant was applied for with a required 20% minimum City participation. TXDOT requires the use of their specifications when there is State funding in the project. Bids for the project need to be opened no later than August 31, 2018 to meet the grant requirements. Staff is requesting a variance to allow the use of TXDOT specifications in lieu of the adopted 2004 NCTCOG specifications.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the variance as set forth in the caption above.
