North Texas Municipal Water District to Authorize Use of Pipeline Reserve
Fund
Administrative Comments
1. This item has been recommended by the Water Utilities Department. It supports
Strategic Objective 2.4 – Maintain and extend water, wastewater and storm water
systems.
2. Impact: Approval of this agreement will provide an access easement to begin a
project to restore, cover, and protect the Lake Chapman 84-inch transmission main
where it crosses the South Sulphur River.
3. This item was presented to the Transportation and Natural Resources
Committee on February 24, 2016.
4. The Lake Chapman 84-inch transmission main is shared by Irving and the North
Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). NTMWD is responsible for the
operations and maintenance of this pipeline.
5. Irving and NTMWD prepare an annual Operation and Maintenance (O&M) budget
for anticipated maintenance, but there is additional funding set aside in the Pipeline
Reserve Fund for unanticipated and unbudgeted needs of the shared facilities.
6. In June 2015, city staff completed an aerial survey of the Lake Chapman Raw
Water system and discovered that the 84-inch transmission main is exposed where
it crosses the South Sulphur River in Hunt County. NTMWD and Irving visited the
site with Halff and Associates, Inc., (Halff) on July 23, 2015, to determine the best
course of action.
City Council Agenda 03/17/2016 12
7. The pipeline at the river crossing is completely undercut and action needs to be
taken to prevent failure. The recommended course of action is to stabilize the river
channel by driving sheet piles on both sides of the pipeline where it crosses the
river, restore the embedment under the pipeline, and place rock-rip-rap on top of
the pipeline.
8. This activity was unanticipated in the annual O&M budget for the shared Lake
Chapman facilities. Access to the pipeline for geotechnical testing in order to
finalize the design, and temporary and permanent repairs is hindered by an
impassable easement.
9. NTMWD has requested use of the existing Pipeline Reserve Fund in the amount of
$12,500.00 for a temporary access agreement with the property owner to complete
design and construction of these improvements. Funding is available in the
Pipeline Reserve Fund. Irving and NTMWD each contribute 50% of the required
funding.
10. The Pipeline Reserve Fund will be restored in future O&M budgets.
Recommendation
The resolution be approved.

pipeline.
City Council Agenda 03/17/2016 13
5. In June 2015, City staff completed an aerial survey of the Lake Chapman Raw
Water system and discovered that the 84-inch transmission main is exposed where
it crosses the South Sulphur River in Hunt County. NTMWD and Irving visited the
site with Halff and Associates, Inc. (Halff) on July 23, 2015 to determine the best
course of action.
6. The pipeline at the river crossing is completely undercut and action needs to be
taken to prevent failure. The recommended course of action is to stabilize the river
channel by driving sheet piles on both sides of the pipeline where it crosses the
river, restore the embedment under the pipeline, and place rock-rip-rap on top of
the pipeline.
7. NTMWD amended an existing agreement with Halff for design of the river
stabilization required. As part of the design, the site was revisited in January 2016.
The erosion has worsened significantly since July 2015 and NTMWD has declared
this an emergency to deal with it expediently. The additional erosion has expanded
the scope of the repairs required and compressed the schedule of the work to
prevent failure of the pipeline. Additional services include surveying, geotechnical
work, and coordination with the USACE for permits required with the expanded
scope.
8. The total cost for the additional engineering services is $170,500.00 and the
breakdown is as follows.
NTMWD: $85,250.00 (50%)
City of Irving: $85,250.00 (50%)

coating are the primary drivers for this project.

these services. Three RFQ responses were received and evaluated by staff. Two
firms were invited for interviews. Kleinfelder, Inc., was determined to be the most
highly qualified provider for the services solicited.

RFQ response submitted by Kleinfelder, Inc., best meets the criteria established in
the RFQ. The team put together by Kleinfelder, Inc., has a great deal of experience
executing projects similar to this one.
8. This is the second step of a two-step process. An Authority to Negotiate was

Fund
Administrative Comments
1. This item has been recommended by the Water Utilities Department. It supports
Strategic Objective 2.4 – Maintain and extend water, wastewater and storm water
systems.

for anticipated maintenance, but there is additional funding set aside in the Pipeline
Reserve Fund for unanticipated and unbudgeted needs of the shared facilities.
6. In June 2015, city staff completed an aerial survey of the Lake Chapman Raw
Water system and discovered that the 84-inch transmission main is exposed where
it crosses the South Sulphur River in Hunt County. NTMWD and Irving visited the
site with Halff and Associates, Inc., (Halff) on July 23, 2015, to determine the best
course of action.
City Council Agenda 03/17/2016 12
7. The pipeline at the river crossing is completely undercut and action needs to be
taken to prevent failure. The recommended course of action is to stabilize the river
channel by driving sheet piles on both sides of the pipeline where it crosses the
river, restore the embedment under the pipeline, and place rock-rip-rap on top of
the pipeline.
8. This activity was unanticipated in the annual O&M budget for the shared Lake
Chapman facilities. Access to the pipeline for geotechnical testing in order to
finalize the design, and temporary and permanent repairs is hindered by an
impassable easement.
9. NTMWD has requested use of the existing Pipeline Reserve Fund in the amount of
$12,500.00 for a temporary access agreement with the property owner to complete
design and construction of these improvements. Funding is available in the
Pipeline Reserve Fund. Irving and NTMWD each contribute 50% of the required
funding.

transmission pipeline. NTMWD is responsible for operation and maintenance of the
pipeline.
City Council Agenda 03/17/2016 13
5. In June 2015, City staff completed an aerial survey of the Lake Chapman Raw
Water system and discovered that the 84-inch transmission main is exposed where
it crosses the South Sulphur River in Hunt County. NTMWD and Irving visited the
site with Halff and Associates, Inc. (Halff) on July 23, 2015 to determine the best
course of action.
6. The pipeline at the river crossing is completely undercut and action needs to be
taken to prevent failure. The recommended course of action is to stabilize the river
channel by driving sheet piles on both sides of the pipeline where it crosses the
river, restore the embedment under the pipeline, and place rock-rip-rap on top of
the pipeline.
7. NTMWD amended an existing agreement with Halff for design of the river
stabilization required. As part of the design, the site was revisited in January 2016.
The erosion has worsened significantly since July 2015 and NTMWD has declared
this an emergency to deal with it expediently. The additional erosion has expanded
the scope of the repairs required and compressed the schedule of the work to
prevent failure of the pipeline. Additional services include surveying, geotechnical
work, and coordination with the USACE for permits required with the expanded
scope.
8. The total cost for the additional engineering services is $170,500.00 and the
breakdown is as follows.
NTMWD: $85,250.00 (50%)
City of Irving: $85,250.00 (50%)
9. Funding in the amount of $85,250.00 is available in the Water Utilities budget with
the Water and Sewer Non-bond CIP Fund.
Recommendation
The resolution be approved.

5. The Perry Elevated Tank is next on the prioritized list of the City’s tanks in need of
rehabilitation. This tank was built in 1964 and is one of the oldest tanks in Irving’s
system. Corrosion of the interior roof structure and the condition of the interior
coating are the primary drivers for this project.
6. City staff administered a Request for Qualifications to select an engineering firm for
these services. Three RFQ responses were received and evaluated by staff. Two
firms were invited for interviews. Kleinfelder, Inc., was determined to be the most
highly qualified provider for the services solicited.
7. The Water Utilities Department recommends selecting Kleinfelder, Inc., because the
RFQ response submitted by Kleinfelder, Inc., best meets the criteria established in
the RFQ. The team put together by Kleinfelder, Inc., has a great deal of experience
executing projects similar to this one.
8. This is the second step of a two-step process. An Authority to Negotiate was

1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and
Recommendation: February 15, 2016 – Favorable 6-0 (Commissioners
Taylor, Richards and Allen, absent), subject to labeling the future
restaurant and the alcoholic beverage storage areas on the site plan. The
stipulation of the Planning and Zoning Commission has been met.
2. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends
Office/Technology/Warehouse uses for this property. The proposed use is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The applicant is proposing to build a four-story addition to an existing Sleep Inn
Hotel, with a restaurant including the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises
consumption.
4. The current zoning site plan approved in 1982 was for IP-AR (Industrial Park-Airport
Related) uses, which allowed the hotel use. A portion of the property was
developed with a two-story, 59 room hotel with a 1,700 square foot indoor pool area
and a 260 square foot fitness center.
5. The current hotel development standards (Section 52-35b of the zoning ordinance)
were not in place at the time the original hotel was constructed. The current hotel
development standards would require 200 rooms, 5,000 square feet of meeting
space, a full service restaurant and a swimming pool with a minimum surface area
of 1,000 square feet or other recreational facilities with a minimum combined area
of 1,000 square feet.
6. The proposed four-story addition will include 39 rooms, a 1,150 square foot
“breakfast bar” area which would become a restaurant in the future, and a 1,160

restaurant with alcohol beverage sales. The combined indoor pool area and fitness
center would be 1,700 sq. ft.
7. The applicant proposes 112 parking spaces. A variance of two parking spaces for
the required parking is being requested. The hotel is providing a shuttle service that
will pick-up and drop-off guests at D/FW Airport and Love Field Airport. Previous
zoning cases for hotels have included similar variances when shuttle services were
provided. For this reason, staff can support the requested parking variance.
8. The landscaping shall be provided as shown on the attached landscape plan.
City Council Agenda 03/17/2016 30
9. The building elevations are primarily finished with a stucco material; however, the
ground floor uses a cultured stone with a light-colored fascia to accent the building
and match the existing hotel.
10. The sale of alcoholic beverages is subject to all requirements of Section 52-49 of
the zoning ordinance.
11. While the hotel does not currently meet the Hotel Development Standards, these
changes will bring it more into compliance with the current standards.
12. A total of ten (10) public notices were mailed. Staff has not received any responses
in support or in opposition to this request.

proposed development will not hinder the development of additional commercial
property in the area.
4. The subject property is an undeveloped 8.5 acre tract fronting on Las Colinas
Boulevard and Customer Way, and adjacent to a DCURD canal. A zoning case for
independent living units for residents 55 and older was approved in 2007. That
development was never started.
5. The applicant is requesting the following variances to the R-6 (Single Family)
district:
a) Minimum front yard: 15 feet
b) Garage front setback: 22 feet
c) Minimum rear yard depth: 15 feet
d) Minimum lot area: 5300 sq. ft.
e) Maximum dwelling height: 35 ft.
These exceptions are consistent with new residential subdivisions that have been

Administrative Comments
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and
Recommendation: February 1, 2016 – Favorable 9-0, subject to
several minor revisions being made to the site plan. The
stipulations of the Planning and Zoning Commission have been met.
2. The applicant is requesting to amend the Future Land Use Map to
allow Low Density Residential uses on this property, and a corresponding zoning
change to develop 45 single family detached lots.
3. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Senior Living
Residential uses for the subject property. The request is not in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant justifies the proposed amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan to Low Density Residential uses based on the (a) property’s
proximity to other existing residential development, (b) the proposed development
City Council Agenda 03/17/2016 31
will not add a significant amount of traffic to Las Colinas Boulevard, and (c) the
proposed development will not hinder the development of additional commercial
property in the area.
4. The subject property is an undeveloped 8.5 acre tract fronting on Las Colinas
Boulevard and Customer Way, and adjacent to a DCURD canal. A zoning case for
independent living units for residents 55 and older was approved in 2007. That
development was never started.
5. The applicant is requesting the following variances to the R-6 (Single Family)
district:
a) Minimum front yard: 15 feet
b) Garage front setback: 22 feet
c) Minimum rear yard depth: 15 feet
d) Minimum lot area: 5300 sq. ft.
e) Maximum dwelling height: 35 ft.
These exceptions are consistent with new residential subdivisions that have been
approved by the City Council.
6. On February 24, 2016, staff received a request from the applicant to postpone the
City Council public hearing until March 17, 2016.
7. A total of 16 public notices were mailed. Staff has not received any responses in
support or in opposition to this case.
8. Since this request is compatible to the surrounding uses, and since this provides
additional new single family housing, staff can support this request.
9. This item supports Strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use.
