Description:  After many years of negotiating with two different entities regarding the transfer of the Hamshire sewer system, in 2023, the HFISD board and WJMWD finalized a sewer agreement and transfer of property. The water district has voiced concerns over stormwater intrusion for several years, and the HFISD board directed the superintendent to study the issue and propose a solution.
The district sought the services of Fitz and Shipman engineers who studied the site and prepared specifications for stormwater improvements at the high school site. The bid the district received was higher than expected for the scope of work. The district’s engineers recommend the board rejects the bid proposal and to repackage the project scope and re-bid the project.
 

Description:  Fittz and Shipman Engineering firm developed a scope of work for stormwater intrusion remediation at the High School site. The project was advertised for bid and received one bid. That bid was higher than anticipated and outside the district’s budget for this project.
The board should consider the engineers recommendation to repackage and re-bid the scope of the project work
