Title
Consider a resolution determining that Royal Vista, Inc. provides the best value for the City for the Cycle 4 - Basins 1 and 2 Wastewater Main Rehabilitation Project and authorizing the Mayor to execute a Standard Form of Agreement.
Body
The City is required to evaluate the wastewater system inside the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone every five years to comply with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements. The elimination of defects inside the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone will not only help to protect the Edwards Aquifer, but will also reduce inflow and infiltration entering the City's wastewater collection system, thereby reducing the City's treatment cost. Approximately half of the City is located over the Edwards Aquifer. The City has divided this area up into five basins with numerous sub-basins. The City has recently completed the inspection of 14 sub-basins that are in two of the wastewater basins to determine the areas that require rehabilitation.
Kasberg, Patrick & Associates, LP was previously chosen to conduct engineering design, bidding, and construction phase services. City Council previously passed the Resolution authorizing City staff to use Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) as the alternative method for this project due to the technical nature of the construction and to provide best value for the City of Round Rock.
The project advertised on June 25, 2025, and stayed open for six weeks. On August 6, 2025, three proposals were received. The highest-ranking offeror, Royal Vista, Inc., is recommended for award. The contract time is 260 days and construction is anticipated to begin in October 2025 and conclude in August 2026. This request is to authorize the award of a construction contract to Royal Vista, Inc. in the amount of $1,646,653.61.
Cost: $1,646,653.61
