Council approves $361,000 contract to rehab wastewater equalization basin
Summary
Council voted to award a construction contract to Superior Equipment Solutions LLC not to exceed $361,000 to repair and expand capacity at the city wastewater treatment plant's equalization basin; staff said the project is TCEQ-approved and was the lowest qualified bid.
Council approved a resolution awarding a construction contract to Superior Equipment Solutions LLC to rehabilitate and raise dams on the wastewater treatment plant's equalization basin, with a not-to-exceed amount rounded to $361,000. City staff explained the basin had fallen into disrepair, that the design was completed by Haver Engineering and approved by TCEQ, and that three bids were received with the lowest qualified bid at roughly $360,619.01 (rounded for the contract).
The project is intended to increase storage and allow the plant to handle storm-related inflow and infiltration; staff said average daily flows are typically 600,000–650,000 gallons and can spike above 1,000,000 gallons during rain events. A council motion to award the contract was made, seconded and carried by voice vote with no roll-call recorded.
