Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Brazos River Authority, Williamson County, City of Georgetown, and Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District regarding the relocation of portions of the Williamson County Regional Raw Water Line in connection with the Ronald Reagan Boulevard Project.
Body
The City of Round Rock shares ownership with the City of Georgetown, Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District and the Brazos River Authority (BRA) in the 28 miles of 48-inch raw water line that transports raw water from Lake Stillhouse Hollow to Lake Georgetown. The Brazos River Authority (BRA) is operator of the line which is known as the Williamson County Regional Raw Waterline. Williamson County is renovating the intersections at Ronald Reagan Boulevard and County Road 305 and will need to relocate the raw water line due to the new road construction at their cost. This project has been publicly bid, awarded the contract, and has a contractor on site that is ready to commence construction in order to complete the relocations while there is low demand for water production by the City of Round Rock, City of Georgetown, and Brushy Creek MUD.
WIlliamson Country recently drafted an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) that was approved by the City of Georgetown, Brushy Creek MUD, City of Round Rock, and BRA. The City of Round Rock approved the ILA on January 26, 2018. However, since that time, the parties have requested additional language to the ILA to hold the County responsible for any future costs associated with relocating the waterline since it is now located in the TxDOT right of way. With the additional language, this new ILA will replace the orginally approved ILA. The County has agreed to pay for all future costs related to relocating the waterline in the future, if necessary.
