Consider and take action on] Resolution No. 16-048, approving an Agreement for Engineering Services with ARKK Engineers for a water distribution line and water facilities to serve a new DISD Junior High School.  (City Engineer)

This agreement with ARKK Engineers is directly related to the Interlocal Agreement with DISD.  ARKK has been involved with this project for over a year, assisting the City and DISD with cost estimates so that DISD could include the needed funding in its recent bond election. 

The City is responsible for providing water service to the new school site on FM 3436.  This work with ARKK is the initial water distribution project that will provide water service to the school site as quickly as possible.  DISD only needs a 6-inch water line; and their participation is based on that.  However, the City is looking to oversize this line to 12-inch to prepare for future growth.  Staff is anticipating a second engineering services contract for the water plant construction and the wastewater treatment plant work.

As stated in the interlocal agreement, invoicing will be going through the city, but DISD will actually be paying the bills.
