Title
Approving the selection of Freese and Nichols, Inc. for professional engineering services associated with the New Sweden Wastewater Treatment Plant Project and authorizing the City Manager to enter into negotiations regarding a scope of work and fee proposal.
Summary
The City of Pflugerville solicited requests for qualifications from engineering firms to perform design services for the New Sweden Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The City would like to develop plans and permit through TCEQ the first phase of the package treatment plant so that the City can proceed with construction when necessary. Future growth and development demands in the Cottonwood Drainage Basin will drive the need for time of construction of the facility.
This project will include:
· A site determination analysis for an ultimate 25.0 MGD wastewater treatment plant and construction of a 0.475 MGD package wastewater treatment plant. The City currently owns a 10.0 acre tract located on New Sweden Church Road approximately 2,500 linear feet (LF) east of FM 973. The selected consultant will work with City staff and conduct a site determination analysis on the 10.0 acre tract as well as other possible locations to assist the City in determining the final location of the proposed package wastewater treatment plant.
· Review and analysis of existing cur...
