Title
Approval of the issuance of invitations for Competitive Sealed Proposals for Fischer Park Dam No. 1 Spillway Repair.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Fischer Park Dam 1 Spillway Repair was designed by Freese and Nichols engineers for the repair project. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) performed inspections of all regulated City of New Braunfels dams in July 2016 as part of TCEQ’s Dam Safety Program. The TCEQ inspection reports included recommendations to address erosion on the downstream side of the Fischer Park Dam No. 1 Spillway. The City contracted with Freese and Nichols to provide recommendations and to perform engineering design for the dam spillway repairs to address TCEQ concerns. The repair design plans have been submitted to and approved by TCEQ’s Dam Safety division.
The Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) method allows the City to evaluate the most qualified contractors and the best value for the project. The evaluation of the proposals received by City staff will be presented to City Council for direction regarding the approval of a contract for construction.
