Council approves $59,000 increase to Inframark wastewater operations contract, raising annual total to $1,148,795
Summary
Council approved Amendment No. 4 to the Inframark contract to raise spending caps for lab services, sludge disposal and plant repair/maintenance by about $59,000, bringing the annual contract total to $1,148,795 to continue outsourced operation of the city’s wastewater treatment plant.
City staff (recorded as Mr. J. / Mr. Jack) presented Amendment No. 4 to the Inframark LLC contract, which operates the city’s wastewater treatment plant because the city lacks a qualified in‑house operator. The amendment increases spending caps in three areas — laboratory services (testing submitted to TCEQ), sludge disposal (solid‑waste disposal of sludges) and repair/maintenance at the plant — by approximately $59,000, raising the new annual contract total to $1,148,795.
Staff said the city has been pleased with Inframark’s work since the original 2018 contract but that increasing operational needs and inflationary pressures required raising the caps. Council voted to approve the amendment by voice.
