Analysis
On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, the City of Grand Prairie opened bids for Cottonwood and Fish Creek Stream Stability Improvements Phase 1. The low bidder is Klutz Construction, LLC in the total amount of $482,010.00 for Base, and Additive Alternate Bid #1 and #2 .
This project was identified as part of the FY19 Capital Projects Budget and Capital Projects Plan for Proposed Storm Drainage Projects. The Cottonwood and Fish Creek Stream Stability Improvements Phase 1 project provides for stream stability improvements at two locations on Cottonwood Creek and one location on Fish Creek. Improvements at these three locations are covered under the 404 Nationwide permit with the US Army Corp of Engineers.
The Cottonwood and Fish Creek Stream Stability Improvements Phase 1 project is part of the City-Wide Master Drainage Plan for stream stability improvements on Cottonwood Creek and Fish Creek. This project provides for installation of 435 cubic yards of 24-inch size rock riprap and 1,615 cubic yards of 18-inch thick grouted rock riprap at critical locations in the creek bottoms to help mitigate the severe creek erosion taking place. This work will be in City Park (McFalls Park) and City owned properties.
The Base bid consists of two locations: One at McFall's Park along cottonwood creek east of Carrier Parkway, downstream of the existing spillway which has experienced erosion and the second location along Fish Creek southwest of Starrett Elementary School along city owned property that is experiencing erosion. Additive Alternate #1 Bid is along a bend in the creek further east and downstream of the said spillway along McFalls park which has experienced severe erosion. Additive Alternate #2 is at the pedestrian bridge crossing along McFalls Park, east of the said existing spillway, where the abutments have eroded.
The consultant and staff recommend the award of the Base Bid and Additive Alternate Bid #1 and #2 for this project as it provides protection along Cottonwood Creek at McFall’s Park and along fish creek as mentioned above.
