Council approves funding and contracts for Townsend advanced water treatment project
Summary
Greensboro approved a bond fund amendment and design‑build and advisory contracts for the Townsend Advanced Treatment Project, including a $33.96M contract with Crowder Construction and engineering advisory contracts; votes were unanimous.
Council approved multiple items on March 17 to fund and advance the Townsend Advanced Treatment Project, including an ordinance amending the Water Resources Capital Revenue Bond Fund and approvals of a design‑build contract and owner's advisor services.
The council first considered an ordinance amending the bond fund in the amount cited in the agenda (the transcript lists roughly $35,000,095.90) to support the Townsend Advanced Treatment Project. Council then approved a design‑build contract (cited as $33,961,432) with Crowder Construction Company for the project and an owner's advisor engineering services contract (HDR Engineering, $1,133,800) to provide advisory and oversight services for the design‑build delivery.
Each item was moved, seconded and passed by roll call with a 9–0 vote. Council members said the project is a high‑priority investment in water resources and encouraged members to visit the treatment facilities to better understand the needs and technical details.
Next steps: City staff will finalize contracts, proceed to design‑build procurement milestones and report progress to council as construction milestones are reached.
