Council approves CDBG sidewalk contract and $149K wastewater engineering supplement

City staff described a CDBG‑funded sidewalk project on Parkside Circle and recommended awarding the contract to the low bidder. "We had 8 bidders on this project and the low bidder was $203,000; we received $300,000 from HUD for a grant to do projects in the city," staff said. The project will add a four‑foot sidewalk on one side of the street; staff estimated construction of four to six months.

On utilities, the council approved supplemental contract number three with Plummer Associates for $149,000 to advance design tasks associated with the Brushy Creek East Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion from 30 MGD to 40 MGD. Staff noted Round Rock will pay about 60% of the supplemental contract cost with partner cities sharing the remainder.
