Round Rock council approves contracts, land purchase and appointments tied to growth and infrastructure
Summary
The City Council unanimously approved multiple contracts and land purchases on June 25, including a $1.3 million road-rehab contract, a $155,340 park fence contract, a roughly $198,000 change-order adjustment and a $1.6 million utility land purchase funded with ARPA money; several appointments also passed.
The Round Rock City Council on June 25 approved a slate of routine contracts, change orders and land purchases aimed at supporting ongoing construction and public services as the city prepares for continued growth.
The council voted unanimously to award a $1,300,000 contract to Aaron Concrete Contractors LLC for rehabilitation work on Myers Lane and County Road 122 after receiving a low bid through a competitive process. City staff told the council the work will replace full sections of pavement and underlying base to extend the roads' useful life.
Council also approved a $155,340 contract with Daniel Bessa d/b/a Bessa Builders to install fencing for the Oatts Airs Park soccer project, and adopted Change Order No. 2 with Austin Engineering Company for the Greenlawn Boulevard improvements — a quantity adjustment staff estimated at about $198,000 — to align driveways and adjust utility elevations. Staff said the Greenlawn project is expected to be completed between August and September 2027.
The council approved a real estate purchase for a roughly 7-acre property in northeast Round Rock that staff described as a future utility and public-safety campus. According to staff, 4.5 acres will be reserved for a water storage tank and pump station (the utility portion cited as $1,600,000 and funded with ARPA money) and 2.5 acres for a future fire station. Staff said the parcel was negotiated at $8.35 per square foot.
Appointments and routine business cleared the agenda as well. The council reappointed Judge McGraw to a municipal court term and approved an associate municipal judge appointment; it also named council designees to the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority. All motions on the formal items passed unanimously.
Judge McGraw, speaking after his reappointment, thanked the council for the continued confidence: “I just want to say thank you for the continued confidence, Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem and Council members.”
The measures advance projects the city says are necessary to support development and operations; several items drew brief technical questions from council members about alignment, driveway aprons and coordination with developers. No item was tabled or amended on the council floor.
The council also approved the consent agenda, which included authorization for the mayor to execute an agreement with Hydropro Solutions for annual water meter software hosting and maintenance for the city’s advanced metering infrastructure.
Next steps: the city will execute the awarded contracts and return to the council with any required follow-up approvals or contract amendments as project details are finalized.
