BACKGROUND
Crawford Hospital Partners, LLC (“Developer”) is in the process of installing approximately 2,350 feet of sewer line within the City Limits of Denton (see Exhibit 1). This line is part of the public improvements they are installing as part of their Ranch View Surgical Hospital Development project. The Development project requires a 10” water line to be installed from the existing Country Lakes West Development to I35W. The City sought to oversize the pipeline from a 10” to a 18” in accordance with the City’s oversize participation policies and procedures outlined in the Denton Development Code. The purpose of the oversize is continue the existing 18” main westward to facilitate future gravity service to a large sewer shed that extends to, and beyond, Hwy. I-35W.
The Developer presented the City with their tabulated calculation of the Oversize Participation Amount (see Exhibit 2). Staff has reviewed the entire tabulation and determined that 1) the quantities are correct, and 2) the unit prices are not unreasonable, based on similar work on other recent projects. Thus, Staff takes no exceptions to the oversize participation cost as prepared by the Developer. Staff has prepared a corresponding Sewer Main Cost Participation Agreement (see Exhibit 3).
