Consider and take action on Resolution No. 16-047, approving an Interlocal Agreement between the City and DISD to provide water and sewer service to a new school site.  (City Engineer)

DISD has recently acquired a 40-acre site on FM 3436 and is moving forward with development of a new Junior High School with plans to open in the fall of 2018.  There are no water or sewer facilities that directly serve the site, however, the City has water supply available to the area through our contract with GCWA, and a developer has a waste water discharge permit on Gum Bayou which is just west of the school site. With these two items, the City can construct a water plant and water distribution line, and obtain a "package" waste water treatment plant with enough capacity to serve the school site.

The Interlocal Agreement stipulates that DISD pays the City to design and construct the water plant and distribution line and pays the City to design and construct the wastewater treatment plant.  The estimated cost to DISD for this effort is $1,930,000.

The Agreement also states that DISD will be constructing a sewer lift station and small diameter force main that pumps sewer to the wastewater treatment plant.  These will be designed to City standards and will be conveyed to the City for operation and maintenance.

The City will be acquiring a 4-5 acre site along FM 517 for the metering station and water plant.  Also, the City is considering oversizing the water distribution line to be able to accommodate future development.
