Analysis
Halff Associates was hired to design improvements to relocate City of Grand Prairie utility lines adjacent to the south side of Interstate 30 between NW 7th Street and Belt Line Road. The Texas Department of Transportation is preparing to construct a three lane service road for eastbound traffic in the area between NW 7th Street and Belt Line Road, so all work on this project is completely reimbursable to the City via an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation.
Halff Associates has prepared the plans and specifications for the water and wastewater relocations required as part of this project, and the project was bid as follows:
Construction of 2,947 linear feet of 24-inch water line, 717 linear feet of 30-inch water line, 30 linear feet of 36-inch water line, various water line appurtenances such as valves, 616 linear feet of 8-inch PVC sanitary sewer, 51 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer, 142 linear feet of 27-inch PVC sanitary sewer, 6 new sanitary sewer manholes, and 83,400 cubic yards of general site excavation to lower the hill where a billboard is presently located adjacent to Interstate 30.

Jackson Construction Total Bid: $2,593,080.00
