November 12, 2026 City Council Regular Meeting
Title
28. Authorize the City Manager to Execute Contract Modification No. 1 for Georgetown Water Reclamation Facility and Travis Field Water Reclamation Facility Expansion Projects with Ruby Collins for the Guaranteed Maximum Price of $23,440,657. (Water Reclamation)
Strategic Priority
GOAL 4:  Develop World Class Livable Environment & Infrastructure
Description

The original contract covers expansions at both the Georgetown and Travis Field Water Reclamation Facilities. However, Contract Modification No.1 (Guaranteed Maximum Price) applies only to the Georgetown facility expansion. This modification authorizes an early works package that includes erosion control, demolition, temporary access road installation, site clearing and grubbing, site stabilization and surveying, site setup, test piling, and procurement of production piles and long-lead equipment. Advancing these activities will allow site preparation to begin in November 2026, approximately five months before the primary construction phase is scheduled to begin in April 2027, while maintaining continuous operation of the existing facility.

 

With approval, substantial completion is anticipated by April 2029, followed by operational testing and startup through July 2029. Without approval, these activities would be incorporated into the primary construction phase, extending substantial completion to approximately August 2029 and operational testing and startup through November 2029. Approval will advance critical site preparation and procurement activities, reduce schedule risk, improve construction sequencing, and minimize impacts on ongoing wastewater treatment operations.

 

Original Contract Amount: $419,447.60

Contract Modification No. 1 (GMP No. 1): $23,440,657

Total Contract Amount, Including Modification: $23,860,104.60
