Justification:
The High Service Pump Improvements Project will allow the City of Round Rock to deliver the full
amount of contracted water from the Brazos River Basin to the City's Water Treatment Plant
(WTP). Upon completion, this project will enable the City to provide Cedar Park with 2.5 million
gallons per day (mgd) of potable water by the summer of 2008, and 4.0 (mgd) of potable water by
the summer of 2009, as required in the City's agreement with Cedar Park. This pump is scheduled
to be in service by June 2009.
On June 03, 2008, the City received five bids for this project with the average bid amount being
$1,050,437.20. Excel Construction Services, LLC submitted the low bid in the amount of
$940,200.00. In 2007, Excel Construction Services, LLC successfully completed the Westinghouse
Road Tank and Well Improvements project for the City. Therefore, City Staff recommends awarding
this project to Excel Construction Services, LLC.

Cost: $940,200.00

Outside Resources: Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc.
Background Information:

High Service Pump project, two other projects are required to meet our obligations under the
Interlocal Agreement for Emergency Water Supply between the City of Round Rock and the City of
Cedar Park, as approved by City Council on May 24, 2007. These projects are the RM 1431 36"
