Approving the selection of Kimley-Horn for professional engineering services associated with the Wilbarger Wastewater Interceptor 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 for design services for the Wilbarger Wastewater Interceptor (WWWI) Project. This project is anticipated to be funded by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).

It is important that the WWWI project is delivered on time with the WCRWWTF project as the interceptor is necessary to transport wastewater flows from the existing Wilbarger wastewater basin system to the new plant site. The 2020 Wastewater Master Plan projected the Wilbarger service area growth to require an ultimate 24.0 MGD wastewater treatment plant, with a phased implementation strategy beginning with 8.0 MGD by Oct 2024. The City currently has a Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit from TCEQ for a final phase annual average flow of 15.75 MGD at the site. Recent pl...
