Analysis
The need for an engineering evaluation to establish a phased Wastewater Infrastructure Service Plan for areas of the City lying along the west and northwest sides of Joe Pool Lake, inclusive of areas within Loyd and Lynn Creek Parks including the Oasis restaurant and marina, areas immediately outside of and adjacent to the parks including areas along Ragland Road, Arlington Webb Road, Lynn Creek Parkway, and Lake Ridge Parkway, and nearby areas east of SH 360, as shown on Attachment A.
The scope of services for this project include evaluating the existing infrastructure within the service limits, establishing demands from future growth, evaluating the most efficient alternatives for existing and future wastewater service, evaluating the areas subject to flooding during the impoundment of flood storage within this service area, identifying improvements needed to provide wastewater service in the most efficient manner for the City's operation and maintenance and developing multiple development scenarios for implementation of recommended improvements by the City, as shown in Exhibit "A".
Chapter 252, Section 22 of the Local Government Code allows for the exemption to competitive bidding when the expenditure is for Professional Services such as engineering services. Wayne Hunter with Gresham Smith engineering firm was selected as the most qualified professional due to his previous engineering work on the site and compiling the original sealed report.
