5.C. Consideration and Possible Action to Approve the agreement with Langan for the 2023 Bond Middle School #2 Off-Site Sewer design presented by Sledge Engineering
Description:
The Board authorized Dr. Hicks to formalize and execute an agreement with the Huckabee on February 15, 2023 for two 2023 Bond projects that need to open in August 2025 based on current anticipated growth. This included the Middle School #2 (MS2). The site selection for MS#2 was approved by the Board on May 17, 2023. The MS#2 schematic design was approved by the Board on June 21, 2023.
The property on E FM 487 does not currently have sanitary sewer lines to the site. This was noted during previous communication with the Board including during the site selection process. The plan is to route sewer from the MS#2 to an existing sanitary sewer line and treatment plant owned and operated by the City of Jarrell. The treatment plant is generally located southeast of the E FM 487 property. Sledge Engineering and Langan are working with the City and landowners to determine the best route. Langan is the civil engineering working as a sub-consultant to Huckabee on the site utility design. Huckabee’s contract does not include design of off-site utilities. Sledge Engineering recommends the District contract directly with the civil engineering consultant to save costs. As a reminder, the service is considered professional service so hiring the civil engineering firm is based solely on qualifications and not bid per state law. An agreement will be finalized by the District’s attorney and the Superintendent. If authorized by the Board, the Superintendent will finalize and execute the contract with Langan to allow work to commence. Budget Information: Services will be paid from the 2023 Bond. The "land and infrastructure" line item from the 2023 bond budget was intended to cover "off-site" road and utility improvements to various sites. |
