Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an Initial Funding Agreement with the Dow Chemical Company for the relocation of the existing 8-inch Dow Pipeline as part of the North Extension of Landing Blvd Project (ST1914) in the amount not to exceed $100,000. (Executive Director of Capital Projects)
Background:
Approval of this item will authorize an Initial Funding Agreement with the Dow Chemical Company for the relocation of the existing 8-inch Dow Pipeline as part of the North Extension of Landing Blvd Project (ST1914) in the amount not to exceed $100,000. This relocation is necessary due to conflict with the foundation alignment of the retaining wall leading up to the bridge crossing the Clear Creek. Per the proposed retaining wall design, the excavation will require 5 feet of removal and replacement of soil with cement-stabilized backfill to support the retaining wall foundation.
The Initial Funding Agreement will allow for the Dow Chemical Company to enter into a contract with an engineering consultant to perform an analysis of the conflict and design a resolution. The $100,000 budget is an estimate of the design fee for the engineering consultant. A final estimated cost of the relocation will be determined at the completion of this engineering contract, at which time the City will be responsible for the additional costs associated with the relocation of the line. A follow-up amendment or agreement will be brought before Council for approval once estimated cost of relocation is determined. At this time, the pipeline company cannot provide the estimated construction cost of relocation until their engineering analysis is conducted. Following the Notice to Proceed, the design contract is estimated to take 3 to 4 months to complete.
