Rosenberg awards $10.9 million contract to build Water Plant No. 9
Summary
The Rosenberg City Council unanimously approved Resolution R-3835 to award a $10,900,000 construction contract for Water Plant No. 9, a project the city says is needed to meet growth and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements.
Rosenberg City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to award a $10,900,000 contract for construction of Water Plant Number 9, approving Resolution R-3835 and authorizing the city manager to finalize related documents.
City staff told council that the project will include a water well, a ground storage tank, a booster pump station, disinfection and chemical injection systems to treat the water supply. "This project provides for the construction of a new water plant, which will include a water well, ground storage tank, booster pump station, disinfection, and chemical injection to properly treat the water supply," a city staff member said during the presentation.
Staff recommended awarding Bid No. 2025-31B to W W Payton Corporation, the lowest base bidder, with a construction timeline of 600 calendar days. The staff report said the project is included in the fiscal year 2025 capital improvement plan and that water and wastewater funds and water impact fees are budgeted to pay for engineering and construction. The staff presentation also referenced a recommendation from Stephanie Casper of Quiddity Engineering LLC endorsing the selection.
Council discussion was brief and supportive. Council members asked about the site location and confirmed the county had donated the property where the plant will be built. One council member clarified the initial facility will include ground storage tanks and well infrastructure, with a water tower intended in a later phase.
Councilor Trevino made the motion to approve Resolution R-3835; Councilor Vargas seconded. The resolution passed unanimously.
The council did not set a separate timeline for future phases such as a tower; staff said those would come at a later date. The motion attaches the winning proposal as an exhibit to the resolution and authorizes the city manager to negotiate and execute documents related to construction.
Votes and contract language recorded in the meeting show the council approved the resolution by unanimous voice vote.
