BRENHAM CITY COUNCIL TO ACT ON BIDS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, GROUNDWATER SUPPLY PROJECTS

  

The Brenham City Council will meet Thursday to potentially accept bids for wastewater treatment plant and groundwater projects.

The wastewater project includes rehabilitating the wastewater treatment plant and the process aeration blowers.  The total cost to proceed through the lowest of three bidders, Stolz Mechanical Contractors LLC of Old Washington, is $3,755,500.  That sum would be funded by $3,157,808 in American Rescue Plan Act grant funds and $597,692 in Fiscal Year 2024 wastewater bond proceeds. 

The groundwater supply project consists of revitalizing the existing water well at Loesch Street and constructing a new well.  The cost with the lowest of two bidders, Hydro Resources-Mid Continent Inc. of Creedmoor, is $1,864,560, which will be paid for with Fiscal Year 2024 bond proceeds.
