Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract with Associated Construction Partners, Ltd. for the Lake Georgetown Chemical Feed System Project.
Body
The City of Round Rock owns a raw water pump station on Lake Georgetown, which supplies water to Round Rock’s Water Treatment Plant. Invasive zebra mussels have recently been detected in Lake Georgetown and on the intake structure of the raw water pump station. Zebra mussels have a long history of attaching in massive quantities to raw water intakes and pipelines, thereby damaging the infrastructure and restricting flow to the facility.
The purpose of this project is to construct a sodium permanganate chemical feed system at Round Rock’s Lake Georgetown raw water pump station. The sodium permanganate system will assist with taste and odor issues, provide manganese control, and assist with zebra mussel prevention in the raw water pipelines. The project will consist of a chemical fill station, a bulk chemical storage tank, a chemical building, and three chemical feed lines down to the raw water intake.
The City of Round Rock opened four bids on June 25, 2020. Associated Construction Partners, LTD was the low bid at $1,064,900. After evaluation, the Utilities & Environmental Services Department and Walker Partners, LLC, the design engineer, recommends entering into an agreement with Associated Construction Partners, LTD.
Cost: $1,064,900
