Consideration of entering into a contract with Weir and Associates, Inc. in the
amount of $240,000 for the design of Denton Tap Road from Cottonwood Creek
to the north City Limits and the design of a 16" water line as shown on the City
of Coppell Master Plan (Project # ST 94-01) and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Date: January 10, 1995
As the City Council may be aware, the City of Lewisville is currently in the process of
completing their construction plans to begin construction in 1995 on the section of Denton Tap
Road from F.M. 3040 to the City of Coppell north City Limits. When this roadway section is
completed, there will be only one section of Denton Tap Road that is substandard. To be
proactive in this regard, the City of Coppell has been in contact with a consultant to provide the
engineering services necessary to design the project. During the selection of the Sandy Lake
Road consultant, Weir and Associates was the panel's second choice for the project. Therefore,
they are being utilized on this project without going through an additional fonnal request for
proposal process. The Engineer's estimate for this project is approximately 3.6 million dollars.
That number includes a bridge in the million dollar range. However, there are several other
substantial drainage costs involved. The number also includes approximately $250,000 for the
construction of the water line. The initial proposal for the design costs was $296,800. That
number has been reduced to $240,000 during the review of the Scope of Services.
Staff recommends approval of the design contract with Weir and Associates, Inc. in the amount
of $240,000.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.
