As of December 29, 2021, the owner has announced an award for this solicitation. Closed solicitation has been included below for reference. ........... The City of Leander is poised to make major investments for raw water supplies with the construction of the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) Deep Water Intake on the main channel of the Colorado River in Lake Travis in order to supply raw water to the Leander Sandy Creek Water Treatment Plant and the BCRUA Water Treatment Plant. The City of Leander previously relied on Round Rock's 2005 study titled Lake Travis Raw Water Supply and its recommendation of securing long range water supplies from Lake Travis as the most cost-effective means of securing adequate water supplies for the ultimate build-out of Leander. Due to the age of that study, improvements in technology, development of large groundwater supply districts, etc., the City of Leander seeks the services of a qualified engineering firm to provide professional services for an updated water supply study as the basis for determining the most cost-effective method(s) of securing water supply(s) for Leander's full development and build-out. Additionally, the selected qualified engineering firm will provide professional services to comply with U.S. Senate Bill 3021, America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA). The general scope includes a comprehensive assessment (Assessment) of the risks to, and the resilience of, the City of Leander's drinking water system, and development of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) that incorporates the findings of the Assessment, in compliance with all requirements of the AWIA. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) requires certification of the completion of the Assessment by December 31, 2020, and of the ERP by June 30, 2021. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time. *This project is on hold due to the public health crisis. A new timeline has not been established. As of June 25, 2020, this project is under evaluation. A design firm has not been selected yet.
