Consider a resolution approving a professional services agreement with Kleinfelder of Irving, Texas to provide professional engineering services related to the Rehabilitation of the Pearson Ground Storage Tank #1; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents relating thereto on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.
Action Requested:
Consider a resolution approving a professional services agreement with Kleinfelder of Irving, Texas to provide professional engineering services in the amount of $151,061.00.
Background:
The City’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) includes rehabilitation improvements to the city’s five water storage tanks. The Pearson Ground Storage Tank #1 is the oldest of the five tanks, built in 1989 and last re-painted in 2004. Like all infrastructure, regular maintenance and rehabilitation measures of the tanks are necessary to extend the service life.
In May 2019, Kleinfelder started the assessment of the Pearson Ground Storage Tank #1 for the purpose of providing rehabilitation recommendations. Their efforts proceeded to the point of preparing a construction estimate for those rehabilitation measures. Due to cost concerns, the project was paused and staff was directed to determine preliminary cost estimates for each of the city’s water storage tanks. That process is complete and those cost estimates were included in the last update to the CIP. The remaining four tanks will be assessed individually over the next four years.
The contract scope includes assessment, design of rehabilitation improvements, construction phase assistance, including inspection and coordination with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Financial Impact:
Funding is included in the Water-Wastewater CIP with funding provided by the Water-Wastewater Utility Fund and the ARPA funds.
