Title

Consider a resolution determining that “Competitive Sealed Proposal ” is the delivery method which provides the best value for the Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater System East Wastewater Treatment Plant Tertiary Filters Project.

Body

Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater System (BCRWWS) has recently expanded the capacity of the East Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to 30 million gallons per day (MGD). As a result of the increased capacity of the WWTP, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) could possibly place more stringent limitations on effluent quality both now and in the future.  To ensure the effluent quality standards are met, the partner Cities have decided to construct tertiary effluent filters which will add 48 MGD of capacity to the 6 MGD of existing filter capacity.  In total, the WWTP will have 54 MGD of filter capacity at the completion of this project.

This request is for the approval to use a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) method. This project will require close coordination with plant operations staff for critical tie-ins to existing wastewater treatment plant infrastructure, while keeping the existing treatment capacity in service and producing high quality treated wastewater and reuse water. The CSP method will allow the project team to evaluate contractors on qualifications as well as cost. This ensures that a contractor qualified to perform complex work at an operating treatment plant is selected to build the project. The CSP method will help to provide the best overall value to the City of Round Rock and the partner Cities of the BCRWWS.
