BACKGROUND

The City of Sachse and Dallas County entered into a Master Interlocal Agreement on October 3, 2017, whereby Dallas County agreed to provide partial funding for such duly qualified road and bridge maintenance projects situated within the territorial limits and jurisdiction of the City of Sachse and Dallas County. The eligible "Type A, B, C, and E" roads are identified on the Dallas County Mobility Plan. 

OVERVIEW

This Master Interlocal Agreement will be valid from the date of execution until December 31, 2027. This agreement allows the City to partner with Dallas County on improvements, maintenance, and future MCIP projects. 

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS

It is the responsibility of the City of Sachse to maintain, upgrade, and improve public roads as necessary in the City of Sachse. Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, also known as the Interlocal Cooperation Act, and Chapter 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code, authorizes all local governments to contract with each other to perform governmental functions or services including administrative functions normally associated with the operation of government such as purchasing of necessary equipment, goods, and services. 

RECOMMENDATION

Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Master Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between Dallas County and the City of Sachse for participation in road and bridge transportation-related improvements and/or maintenance on designated roadways within the City of Sachse.

BACKGROUND

The existing 30” sanitary sewer line was installed in 2015. This is the third location where the Sachse sewer lines connect to the City of Garland sewer system. During major storm events, Rowlett Creek overtops the creek bank and floods the area surrounding the 30” sewer line. The excessive erosion has caused several locations of the sewer line to be exposed and could potentially cause a failure if not addressed.

OVERVIEW

Sealed bids were received and opened by the City of Sachse for the Third Garland Connection Creek Stabilization project on Thursday, March 30, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. The project was advertised in the Sachse News and on-line on Civcast.com; a total of four (4) bids were received. 
 
The apparent low bid was submitted by Solid Bridge Construction. Based on the evaluation of their bid and checking of their references, Solid Bridge Construction is considered capable of performing the proposed work in the contract documents. Therefore, based on our review of the bids, staff recommends Solid Bridge Construction for an award in the amount of $1,612,625 (total bid and selected alternatives) for the Third Garland Connection Creek Stabilization project, D-22-02. The bid amount exceeds the original $1,575,000 project budget by $37,625. Staff will return to Council before the end of the fiscal year to request a CIP project amendment for the cost increase. 

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS

There are no policy considerations affiliated with this item. This project (D-22-02) was approved by the City Council as part of the 2021/22 and 2022/23 adopted budgets and will be funded from the Utility Fund.

RECOMMENDATION

Authorize the City Manager to execute and award the bid for the construction of drainage and erosion control improvements for the Third Garland Connection Creek Stabilization project between the City of Sachse and Solid Bridge Construction in the amount of $1,612,625.
