Council authorizes contract with Incentuform Technologies for water-line rehabilitation
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to enter a contract with Incentuform Technologies, LLC for trenchless water-line replacement work on Precinct Line Road and Glen Drive using pipe-bursting/pipe-in-pipe methods.
The Hurst City Council authorized the city manager to enter into a contract with Incentuform Technologies, LLC for water improvements on Precinct Line Road and Glen Drive.
Public works staff described the work as a trenchless method that bursts existing pipe and inserts new liner without surface trenching. Public Works Director Robert Saceda said the process "goes in on the existing pipe and it bursts it" and that it allows crews to avoid digging yards and surface disruptions.
A council member moved to authorize the contract; the motion was seconded and carried. One councilmember noted familiarity with the technology and a past relationship with the company but the transcript does not record any formal conflict-of-interest disclosure or contract dollar amount during the public discussion.
The contract authorizes city staff to proceed with the described trenchless pipe-replacement method; contract details including schedule, cost and contractor responsibilities were not reported in the transcript.
