Approval to authorize Klotz Associates, Inc. to proceed with Construction Phase Services of a 1200 GPM Aquifer Storage and Recovery Water Well, west of FM 2004 in the amount of $83,600.00. (Funding to come from Capital Recovery Funds.)

Commission approved design phase May 4, 2005 for $120,000 (Resolution #05-54). This design intent was to address that there was no backup emergency water supply for the northwest end of Texas City and an additional water well was needed to provide this supply. The well will also be designed as an aquifer storage and recovery to assist the City in providing adequate quantities of water to this region of the City.

Early in the design phase, City staff requested additional facilities be included in the project and Klotz received approval for an additional fee of $3,000. This brought the total Engineering Fee amount to $203,600.

The award of the contract was only for the design and special services at a budget of $120,000.00 with the remaining funds being retained until the project progress. The original budget amount of $200,600.00 was budgeted in The City’s Capital Recovery Fund.
