Background Information:
On September 20, 2005 the City entered into a service contract with the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, for the operations and maintenance of the Water Treatment Facilities. The service contract’s initial term was for 10 years and allows renewal of two additional five-year terms. The contract was renewed for the first additional 5-year term in December 2015.
Based on the successful performance in the operation of the Water Treatment Facilities over the past 15 years and the positive integration of the GBRA in on-going projects, staff recommends approving the second 5-year extension to the contract for operations and maintenance of the City’s water treatment facilities, to expire December 16, 2025.
