Round Rock council approves package of contracts, nominations and routine items
Summary
Council approved a consent agenda and a series of contracts and resolutions including a GMP for the Bob Bennett Complex, engineering contracts for wastewater extensions, a McNeil Road turn‑lane contract, and a nomination of Dell for a state enterprise program; votes were unanimous among members present.
The council approved a bundle of routine consent items and a set of staff‑recommended contracts and nominations during the meeting.
Items approved included (summaries below): • Consent agenda (routine approvals including code of ordinances amendments and purchase orders). • H1 — Guaranteed maximum price (GMP) with Hensel Phelps for Bob Bennett Complex additional phases: $45,446,821 (approved after presentation by Corey). • H3 — Nomination of Dell Inc.’s 501 Dell Way facility as a state enterprise project (Round Rock’s biennial nomination slot); staff described an estimated $25 million in real property improvements and eligibility for up to $1,250,000 in state sales‑and‑use tax refunds if approved by the governor and comptroller. • H4 — Engineering contract with HR Green for an 1,800‑foot, 18‑inch gravity wastewater main: $316,000. • H5 — Supplemental agreement with Westwood Professional Services for County Road 118 wastewater line design: $285,000. • H6 — Construction contract with Aaron Concrete Contractors for a right‑turn lane at McNeil Road and Round Rock West Drive: $453,899.
Council members moved and seconded the motions and recorded affirmative votes on each item. The mayor noted appreciation to presenters and contractors; several councilmembers offered brief praise for specific projects.
Why it matters: these votes advance multiple capital and infrastructure projects across transportation, wastewater, and recreational facilities and use city procurement and contracting processes to move projects toward construction and implementation.
Next steps: each project proceeds to contracting, permitting and construction as appropriate; staff will administer contracts and report progress to council.
