Title
Consider a resolution determining that Prota, Inc. provides the best value for the City for the Reuse Water Pump Station Second Electric Utility Feed and Pump Addition Project and authorizing the Mayor to execute a Standard Form of Agreement.
Body
The City of Round Rock’s reuse water system, initially installed in 2007, has grown significantly from its initial installation. The reuse water system now serves many customers, from Old Settlers Park and Dell Diamond to the Texas State University Round Rock Campus, Austin Community College Round Rock, Vizcaya Homeowners Association, Legends Village Homeowners Association, Forest Creek Homeowners Association, and Kalahari. In response to additional growth, more diverse uses of reuse water, and increased reliance on the system, the Public Works Department has identified areas of needed expansion and resiliency improvements. Those include a second electric feed, an additional transfer pump, and an additional high-service pump to increase the system's resiliency and distribution capacity.
The project was bid as a competitive sealed proposal; a total of two sealed proposals were received and opened on November 20, 2024, for the above-referenced project. The proposals were reviewed for completeness, and all applicable documentation was included. The proposals ranged from $2,753,000 to $2,774,350. Prota, Inc. (Prota) from Austin, TX, submitted the lowest cost proposal for $2,753,000. After proposals were scored, Prota was selected to provide “Best Value” for the City. After selection, the City, Prota, and the Design Engineer negotiated the project and agreed upon a total cost of $2,640,000 through value engineering and/or scope modification.
