Council approves consent items, contracts and construction actions in unanimous votes
Summary
The Round Rock City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda plus a slate of resolutions and contracts (procurement, change orders, engineering contracts and financing authorizations) covering public safety furnishings, benefits consulting, fleet upfits, roadway work, Chisholm Trail improvements, a wholesale water agreement amendment, lake pump station financing and a water/wastewater master plan update.
The council approved a series of routine and project‑specific resolutions and contracts during the meeting, each adopted on the record by roll call. Key actions approved included:
- Consent agenda (minutes for 06/25/2026; agreements with Casco Industries, Ingram Library Services, Smith Pump Company). The consent agenda was adopted by motion and recorded roll‑call vote.
- G2: A five‑year agreement with Gallagher Benefit Services to serve as the city’s employee benefits consultant; staff said the selection followed an RFP process and estimated savings of roughly $110,000 over the prior contract.
- G3: A purchase order of $310,585 to SKG Austin for furniture and installation for Phase 2 of the Public Safety Training Center (Omni Cooperative contract).
- G4: A contract with Cap Fleet Upfitters (not to exceed $1,000,000) for upfitting police, fire and other city vehicles (BuyBoard cooperative contract).
- G5: Change order number 2 (quantity adjustment) with Capital Excavation Company for the Wyoming Springs Drive segment 1 project, an increase of $94,000 to cover guardrail, barricades, irrigation taps and related items; the project remains on track for completion around late August.
- G6: Supplemental contract number 6 with Freeze and Nichols Inc. for Chisholm Trail South improvements (creek/culvert work, sidewalk and related engineering); staff noted FEMA coordination for floodplain work and plans to bid the construction in spring to reduce holiday impacts.
- G7: Second amendment to a wholesale water/wastewater agreement with R and R Mobile Joint Venture for Blessing Mobile Home Park to add three service units (park is outside city limits); staff said the system can handle the additional units and impact fees will apply.
- GA: Authorization related to financing for the Williamson County regional raw water loan (Lake Stillhouse pump station), a project estimated at about $70 million of which Round Rock’s ownership share was stated as roughly 28 percent; staff advised that the Brazos River Authority would issue debt and the three owners would make annual payments.
- G9: A $547,000 contract with CDM Smith for the 2027 Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update; staff said the work will take roughly nine months and will inform the city’s next 10‑year CIP and impact fee updates.
Voting: Council moved and recorded roll‑call votes for each item; the measures passed on the record (votes recorded as affirmative).
