Title
Consider a resolution awarding a construction contract for the 2026 Sanitary Sewer Replacement project to S-Co Incorporated and authorizing the City Manager to execute all related documents on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.
Action Requested:
Approve a resolution awarding a construction contract for the 2026 Sanitary Sewer Replacement project to S-Co Incorporated of Jewett, Texas.
Background:
This project involves the replacement of existing sanitary sewer lines that have exceeded their useful service life, require frequent maintenance, and/or are constructed of non-standard materials. The existing sewer lines are 8-inch clay tile pipes with numerous cracks, joint separations, and root intrusions.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitor sanitary sewer leaks and overflows and may issue fines if such issues are not addressed. To proactively manage this risk, City staff administers a sewer replacement program focused on replacing aging infrastructure with a history of maintenance issues or substandard materials.
On September 23, 2026, nine (9) bids were received at Keller Town Hall for this project. A summary of all bids is attached.
City staff, in coordination with an engineering consultant, reviewed the bids and qualifications of the lowest responsible bidder. Based on this review, staff recommends awarding the contract to S-Co Incorporated of Jewett, Texas, in the amount of $146,976.00. The project is expected to be completed within 90 to 120 days of construction commencement.

Funding for this project is included with the Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Project Fund with funding provided by the Water & Wastewater Utility Fund.
