The item to approve a professional services agreement with Oller Engineering Inc. to design the relocation of utilities along FM 2920 has a price tag not to exceed $765,541. Council approved the item without discussion as part of its consent agenda.
The details
The project scope calls for engineering and design services for relocating water, sanitary sewer and natural gas utilities tied to the Texas Department of Transportation’s FM 2920 roadway improvements.
The scope document states the project’s purpose is to “adjust, replace, or relocate existing utilities in conflict with proposed TxDOT improvements” along the corridor.
City staff also linked the work to recommendations from Tomball’s 2018 and 2023 Water Master Plan updates, which identified needed upgrades to meet current and future demand. Those recommendations include:
- Constructing a 12-inch water line to replace an existing 6-inch line along Main Street from near South Persimmon Street to Snook Lane
- Constructing a 16-inch water line to replace an existing 6-inch line from Oak Street to Snook Lane
