Background Information:
Due to the rapid development in the City and the increase in incoming flows, the City has requested an assessment of the existing 9 MGD WWTP currently operated by Jacobs. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires the Owner of the WWTP to begin engineering and financial planning for expansion and/or upgrading once the existing facility exceeds 75% of the average annual daily permitted flow. As the plant is approaching this threshold, the City is requesting approval of the change order to contract #215-314 Professional Engineering Services for Wastewater with Jacobs Engineering Group to complete this assessment.
Jacobs Waste Treatment Plant (WWTP) Facility Plan will assess the process units, flow data and capacity considerations for expansion of the wastewater treatment plant. This assessment is in coordination with, and in addition to, the provisions for engineering design and replacement of a centrifuge and diffusers authorized by Resolution No.2024-103R. As the plant is nearing 75% of design capacity this will meet 30 TAC 305.126 requiring design of plant expansion
