Discussion of Consent Agenda
and Regular Agenda Items (cont'd) (Agenda Item II)
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item IX, Approve Construction Priority
Schedule, Authorize Selection of an Enpneering Firm and Approve Initial
Project Budgets for Water and Sewer Capital Projects. Mayor Farmer advised
that according to discussions he had with the City Manager all of the
alternatives had not been resolved as of this date on this agenda item.
Mayor Farmer recommended to the Council that there would not be any need
for discussion on this item and recommended that the item be tabled. There
was no further discussion on this item.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item X, Consider Transfer of Jupiter
Road Water Corporation to City of Plano and Authorize Sale of Water to City
of Plano. The Council discussed the action to be taken on this item, what
the results of their action would be when the transfer was made to the City
of Plano, and what rates the City of Plano would be paying to the City of
Allen. Tom Glab, Director of Public Works, spoke before the Council on this
item and advised of the rate to be incurred by the City of Plano based on
the size of the meter and the city's water and sewer rate ordinance. There
was further discussion by the Council on the size of the meters used by a
residential customer and the size of the meter Plano would be using. There
was no further discussion on this item.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item XI -A and B, Consider Actions
Related to Main Street Phases II and III Construction. Bill Petty, Director of
Community Development spoke before the Council on this item. Mr. Petty
advised the Council of the bids received for the paving of Main (McDermott)
Street Phases II and III and of the two alternates that were bid. He advised
one of the alternates was paving of Butler, between Main Street and
McDermott, and the other alternative was the completion of the utility
relocation on the southwest corner of Main Street and State Highway 5. Mr.
Petty explained that Southern Mechanical had been unable to complete the
utility relocation and had to pull off of the site. Southern Mechanical are
now renegotiating their new unit prices in order come back on site to finish
the job. Thus, if Southern Mechanical's new unit prices proved to be too
high, the city had prepared as an alternate to the paving bid the utility
relocation in order to see how much it would cost this contractor to
complete. Mr. Petty advised the Council that the Council was not to
consider the utility alternate at this time, until further discussions were held
with Southern Mechanical on their completion of the project. Mr. Petty
advised that the city staff would be recommending approval of the paving
project and the alternate for paving of Butler Drive. Mr. Petty advised that
the apparent low bidder was Tri -Con Services, Inc. He advised that their
references had been checked and very favorable reports had been received.
There was further discussion by the Council with city staff on the
remaining utilities to be relocated, what the price differential was between
the bid by Tri -Con and the new unit prices from Southern Mechanical, and
how the city could bid the utilities as an alternate on this contract when it
was a part of another bid that had already been awarded. Tom Glab,
Director of Public Works, explained to the Council the existing situation with
Southern Mechanical and the existing contract with them for relocation of
the utilities for Phases II and III. There was considerable discussion on the
utility relocation and that it was not to be considered at this time on the
agenda and that further work was needed on that item.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item XII, Report on Economic Develop-
ment Activities. Mayor Pro Tem Wilson advised the Council that there was
a restructuring of the Economic Development Alliance and he reviewed the
members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, and the
�+ Advisory Board. He stated that duties and responsibilities had been assigned
to these elements and hopefully this would provide the action that they
needed. Mayor Pro Tem Wilson also reviewed the budget of the Alliance for
