TOWN STAFF REPORT RECCOMENDATIONS
title
Consider approving expenditure of funds to Wildstone Construction LLC in an amount not to exceed $75,000 for emergency repairs to a public water line at Westlake Academy and the 20 inch supply line from the City of Ft. Worth; and take appropriate action (Wade Carroll, Town Manager)
body
STAFF: Wade Carroll, Town Manager
BACKGROUND:
A recent water line break has occurred to a public water line at Westlake Academy. In an effort to protect the public health and safety of students, the Town is requesting emergency approval allowing Wildstone Construction, LLC. to make immediate repairs. The Town would also like to be prepared to repair a leak on the 20 inch supply line from the City of Ft. Worth. Water usage decreased significantly after the significant raid Westlake received last week and the Public Works team would like to be ready to repair the 20 inch supply line immediately after the next significant rain which would increase the allowable time to make the repair without cutting off the water supply to our entire Town. Both lines are within right of way on Town and Hillwood property.
The Town is moving away from BNR Construction for emergency repairs due to their limited staffing, which lengthens timely repairs during outages. The Town is utilizing Wildstone Construction, LLC, who is a larger company that both Roanoke and Southlake have utilized with great success in emergency situations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Utility Fund impact not to exceed $75,000
