This Construction Contract is necessary for the relocation of approximately 2,400 linear feet of 30-inch raw waterline that is located within the TxDOT Right of Way (ROW) on the south side of State Highway 29 near DB Wood Road in Georgetown, Texas. The City of Round Rock has two raw waterlines that convey raw water from Lake Georgetown to the City’s water treatment plant located near Westinghouse Road. One of the raw waterlines was installed in 1995 is located in the State Highway 29 ROW.
