Montgomery council approves road extensions, subdivision acceptance and waterline contract; OKs wastewater design change
Summary
The council accepted new public streets into a one-year warranty, approved a developer-funded waterline contract with the low bidder, and authorized additional design work and a $105,700 design fee to add tertiary filters to the Town Creek wastewater expansion.
The Montgomery City Council on March 24, 2026 approved several infrastructure actions including acceptance of new streets into warranty, a developer-funded waterline contract award, and authorization to add tertiary filters to the Town Creek wastewater expansion design.
Staff asked the council to accept the Cameron Drive extension into the city
one-year warranty period following completion of punch-list items; staff noted the warranty for that work will end Feb. 26, 2027. Council voted to accept the public infrastructure for the Briarly/Cameron Drive extension.
Council then accepted the first section of Legacy Grove into the warranty period after staff said most punch-list items were addressed. Staff noted decorative pavers in the roadway will be the developer
responsibility to own and maintain; the pavers were not complete at the time of the staff report and a temporary stabilized surface is currently drivable.
On a separate item, staff reviewed bids for the Simon/Simington waterline upsizing project that will serve a private development. Staff reported LG&G was the low bidder among 15 bidders and recommended proceeding with the low bidder; the council approved the recommendation. Staff said the project is funded by the developer and that bids fell within the expected range.
On the wastewater expansion, city staff (Grant) told the council that the final permit included a more stringent total suspended solids limit than had been anticipated, requiring tertiary filters to meet the permit. Staff presented a design change order to add those filters, and said the additional construction cost is expected to be about $1.44 million and the fee to complete the filter design is $105,700. Council authorized the design change and related work as presented.
Why it matters: The actions move multiple capital and developer-funded projects forward
with implications for neighborhood access, future maintenance responsibilities, and the city
—s utility capacity and permitting compliance.
Votes and motions on these items were taken during the regular agenda; the transcript records motions carried but does not include a detailed roll-call tally for each motion.
