Title
Consider a resolution approving the action of the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) in authorizing the execution of Supplemental Contract No. 4 with Walker Partners for the BCRUA Planning Level Evaluation - Phase 2A Water Treatment Plant Expansion Project.
Body
This agenda item is Supplemental Agreement No. 4 to the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) Phase 2A Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Expansion project. The Phase 2A WTP engineering services contract was approved by the BCRUA board in September of 2023. The current WTP capacity is 32.5 million gallons per day (MGD). Construction is underway to complete the Phase 1D expansion, thereby increasing treatment capacity to approximately 42 MGD. This Project will further increase treatment capacity to approximately 64.2 MGD. The capacity allocation for Phase 2A is 11.7 MGD to the City of Leander (52.4%) and 10.6 MGD to the City of Round Rock (47.6%).
The purpose of this Supplemental Agreement No. 4 is to provide bid phase services and construction phase services for the Phase 2A WTP Expansion Project. Bidding documents are currently under regulatory review, and it is anticipated that the bid and award process will occur from May 2025 to August 2025. Construction should begin in September of 2025 and be completed in Spring of 2028.
The total amount payable under this supplemental contract is $8,009,777. Based on capacity, the allocation of cost is 52.4% for Leander ($4,197,123.15) and 47.6% for Round Rock ($3,812,653.85). Total compensation for the Project will be adjusted to $11,586,365. This contract exceeds the BCRUA Board maximum limit of $500,000 and will therefore require separate consideration and approval by all three member City Councils, before final authorization to proceed can be issued.
Cost: $3,812,653.85
