Analysis

Pursuant to an interlocal cooperation agreement dated February 22, 1955, the Cities of Grand Prairie and Irving jointly and equally own, operate and maintain a shared 48-inch treated water supply pipeline between the City of Dallas Jamison Meter Vault and the City of Irving MacArthur Pump Station ("Jamison Line").

 

On November 15, 2001, the Cities agreed to relocate and reconstruct other portions of the Jamison Line to avoid conflicts with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) highway improvements of S.H. 183.

 

At the current time, TxDOT has identified additional portions of the Jamison Line that need to be relocated and advised the Cities that the existing location of the Jamison Line will interfere with planned highway improvement of the Diamond Interchange.

 

Irving will design, with concurrence of Grand Prairie, a portion of the Jamison Line along a specified route, as identified in Exhibit "A". Relocation and construction of the specified portion of the Jamison Line will be included with the TxDOT Diamond Interchange Project.  The City of Grand Prairie shall participate in all costs associated with the Land acquisition and design of such facility based on its 50% ownership in the Jamison line.  Irving shall select a design engineer for this project in accordance with state law and shall receive the concurrence of the Grand Prairie Public Works Director before recommending the engineer to the City Council of Irving.

 

The City of Irving will contract with TxDOT to relocate the reconstruct the specified portion of the Jamison Line. 

 

In consideration for such participation, each City shall have ownership rights to the facilities and the percentage of capacity of the facilities relative to the percentage participation in the costs of such.

 

Financial Consideration

The City of Grand Prairie's estimated 50% portion of the project will be $3,250,000. A final reconciliation will be done at the end of the project for any under/overs.  Funding for the Jamison Water Supply, in the amount of $3,250,000, is available by approving an ordinance transferring and appropriating from the unobligated fund balance in the Water Capital Projects Fund (500592) to WO #02015103 (Jamison Waterline).
