Full report
Dallas Water Utilities is preparing to put a $18.323 million emergency and routine water-system repair contract before City Council on 10 November, providing a three-year vehicle for repairs and adjustments across the city’s water network.
The proposed 36-month construction-services contract would go to Omega Contracting, identified in the committee’s upcoming-agenda list as the lowest responsible bidder of two. The proposed expenditure ceiling is $18,323,205, financed from the Water Utilities Fund.
The item was not debated or approved at the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s 19 October meeting. Rather, it appeared among potential City Council agenda items for 10 November. Its inclusion nevertheless signals the scale of the utility’s planned commitment to maintaining operational repair capacity over the next three years.
The repair procurement is the largest of several DWU actions listed for the November council agenda. The utility is also scheduled to seek a three-year service-price agreement for sewer odor and corrosion control, valued at an estimated $10.108 million. Pencco Inc. is proposed for $9.782 million of that work and Redeye Chems for $326,700; both were identified as the lowest responsible bidders among three.
A separate five-year master agreement for ductile-iron pipe is proposed with Core & Main LP, the only bidder, for an estimated $1.148 million. In addition, Dallas is scheduled to consider an interlocal agreement with Balch Springs to relocate approximately 83 feet of 24-inch water transmission main on Hickory Tree Road, with no cost to Dallas.
Together, the listed repair, corrosion-control and pipe procurements total about $29.58 million, excluding the no-cost transmission-main relocation agreement.
