Breckenridge awards wastewater plant contract and moves to advertise local financing for water projects
Summary
The commission awarded a $696,150 construction contract for Phase 1 of wastewater treatment plant improvements and approved a resolution to advertise $1,720,000 in certificates of obligation to fund the city's 30% share of $5.7 million in TWDB grants/assistance.
At the meeting the city presented multiple water and wastewater infrastructure actions tied to TWDB/CWSRF funding. City staff reported there were six bids for Phase 1 of wastewater treatment plant improvements; after review by staff and the engineer, Purcell Contracting was ranked the highest-qualified proposer with a bid of $696,150. The mayor moved to award the construction contract to Purcell Contracting and authorized the city manager to execute the documents; the commission approved the motion.
Staff also explained the broader financing plan for related water-system improvements. The city said it had been awarded approximately $5.7 million in TWDB funds with a 70/30 split (TWDB covering 70 percent and the city responsible for roughly 30 percent). The local 30 percent share was described as about $1,720,000. The commission approved Resolution 2025-29 to publish the notice of intention to issue certificates of obligation to provide funds for the local share and associated matters.
City staff noted the project budget available for Phase 1 and other improvements and that future phases and grant/loan packaging would follow standard TWDB review procedures. The motion-authorizing documents were approved at the meeting; staff will return with contract documents and project implementation steps.
