Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a professional services agreement with Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. for the Phase 1 - Preliminary Engineering related to the Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation of the City’s large diameter transmission waterlines (WT2501) in an amount not to exceed $245,824 (Executive Director of Capital Projects)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize a professional services agreement with Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. for the Phase 1 - Preliminary Engineering related to the Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation of the City’s large diameter transmission waterlines (WT2501) in an amount not to exceed $245,824.
This Preliminary Engineering phase is part of a multi-phase and year program to plan, conduct condition assessment, and rehabilitate and/or replace City’s ~50-year-old, 42-inch and 39-inch diameter, steel cylinder water supply transmission lines currently serving as the League City’s primary surface water source from the City of Houston’s Southeast Water Purification Plant. The approximately 20,000-foot transmission line is primarily located along State Highway 3 and Calder Road starting from the SH 3 Booster Station in Webster and ending near League City Parkway. This phase of the project will provide a preliminary engineering assessment and report that highlights areas of concern, potential construction interferences, any permitting that may be required, construction estimates and an implementation phasing plan.
As part of the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, this project is scheduled to provide design and construction phase services spread over the next 4 Fiscal Years (FY2025-2028) with anticipated repairs/replacements budgeted just under $20 million over that time frame. This budget will be updated throughout the implementation phases of the program as pipe conditions are assessed in more detail.
