This agenda item is a resolution authorizing the President to execute a Seventh Amendment to the Master Contract for the Financing, Construction and Operation of the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority, Inc. Regional Water Treatment and Distribution Project.
To proceed with design and construction of the BCRUA Phase 2A Water Treatment Plant expansion, the BCRUA Board and all three city councils must amend the Master Agreement to add this authorization.
This amendment will expand the definition of “BCRUA Project” to include a new phase to be designated Phase 2A, as described in the Phase 2A Water Treatment Plant Expansion Basis of Design Report and will add a new Exhibit D-3 which allocates the cost of the final engineering design and treatment capacities of Phase IIA.
COST AND FUNDING:
The cost for the final engineering design, excluding construction phase services, is $3,124,207. Based on capacity, the allocation of cost is 52.4 percent for Leander ($1,637,084) and 47.6 percent for Round Rock ($1,487,123). Funding will be provided from local sources of each City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
BCRUA general counsel, general manager, and the Operations Committee (OC) have completed preparation and review of the amended contract and recommend approval.
