[00:00:01]
WAS REALLY, IT'S AFTER FIVE.I'D LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER AND ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE A QUORUM AND I'D LIKE TO WELCOME OUR NEW BOARD MEMBER, LECIA ROBINSON.
SHE'S FILLING THE SLOT THAT, UH, SOMEONE FROM THE ETJ UH, FILLS.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING OUR BOARD AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU.
UM, OUR FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS TODAY IS CITIZEN COMMENTS.
DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZEN DESIRING TO SPEAK? OH, MA'AM.
[a. Consider approving the minutes of the Baytown Area Water Authority Regular Meeting held on June 17, 2026.]
WILL CONSIDER APPROVING THE MINUTES OF THE AUTHOR'S REGULAR MEETING HELD ON JUNE 17TH, 2026.I SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION HEARING NONE.
[b. Consider approving the minutes of the Baytown Area Water Authority Regular Meeting held on July 15, 2026.]
APPROVING THE MINUTES OF THE AUTHORITIES' REGULAR MEETING HELD ON JULY 15TH, 2026.I'LL SECOND MOTION AND SECOND QUESTIONS.
OPPOSED? LIKE, SIGN MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
[a. Consider a resolution authorizing payment to United Rentals (North America), Inc., through the Purchasing Cooperative Contract with Choice Partners for emergency pump rental services at the Baytown Area Water Authority Fritz Lanham Water Treatment Plant.]
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PAYMENT TO UNITED RENTALS NORTH AMERICA, INCORPORATED THROUGH THE PURCHASING COOPERATIVE CONTRACT WITH CHOICE PARTNERS FOR EMERGENCY PUMP RENTAL SERVICES AT THE BAYTOWN AREA WATER AUTHORITY.FRITZ LANAM WATER TREATMENT PLANT.
MADAM DIRECTOR, BEFORE WE, UH, ADDRESS THIS ITEM, I DID WANT TO, UH, MAKE A POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE RECORD.
IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AND MR. BEAVER WILL, UH, GET INTO THIS WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE ITEM.
HOWEVER, THIS IS A RATIFICATION OF, UH, PREVIOUS PAYMENTS AND SUCH THAT THE TITLE OR THE CAPTION SHOULD READ A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, UM, AREA WATER AUTHORITY RATIFYING THE PAYMENT OF 228,697, UM, DOLLARS TO UNITED RENTALS.
AND SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS CLEAR FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE RECORD THAT THIS IS A RATIFICATION OF PAYMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE.
THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO COMMENT THAT I THOUGHT THESE PAYMENTS HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
ALRIGHT, MR. BEAVER? YES, THANK YOU.
UM, YES, AS STATED, UH, THIS IS A RATIFICATION FOR PAYMENTS TO UNITED RENTAL.
UM, THESE, UH, PAYMENTS ARE RELATED TO THE RAW WATER, UM, PUMP STATION PROJECT THAT'S GOING ON AT THE, UH, CURRENT PLANT.
NOW, UM, ESSENTIALLY WE HAD RENTED SOME PUMPS BECAUSE WE HAD SOME PUMPS THAT WENT DOWN AND THE, UH, THE TIMING TO GET THE PUMPS FIXED.
UM, IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO GET THEM FIXED WHEN WE WERE REPLACING THEM WITH NEW ONES AND THE, THE TIMELINE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
UM, SO WE WOULD ONLY HAD A VERY SHORT TIME OF WHAT THE PUMPS WOULD BE AVAILABLE.
SO WE RENTED, UM, PUMPS IN THE MEANTIME.
UH, DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, UM, THOSE PUMPS HAVE SINCE BEEN RETURNED AND, UM, THE PAYMENT HAS BEEN, UH, ISSUED.
UH, I WILL ALSO STATE THAT THE, UH, TIMELINE OF THE, UH, OF THE RENTAL IS WHY WE ENDED UP IN THE RATIFICATION.
OUR INITIAL ESTIMATE OF THE TIMELINE TO, UM, HAVE THE PUMPS ON RENTAL WAS SHORTER DURATION THAN WHAT WE ACTUALLY ENDED UP DOING.
SO, UH, WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOTION TO APPROVE? I'LL SECOND.
DISCUSSION? YEAH, I JUST TO, TO CLARIFY SO I UNDERSTAND THIS.
WE EXPECTED A SHORT TERM RENTAL UNTIL THE TIME THE PUMPS CAME.
THERE WAS A DELAY IN RECEIVING THE NEW PUMPS, WHICH EXTENDED THE PERIOD.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE.
[b. Consider a resolution authorizing Change Order No. 2 to the Progressive Design-Build Agreement with Baytown Waterworks Partners, a McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., and Carollo Engineering, Inc., joint-venture, for the Baytown Area Water Authority East Surface Water Plant Phase 2 Expansion Project.]
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NUMBER TWO TO THE PROGRESSIVE DESIGN BUILD AGREEMENT WITH BAYTOWN WATERWORKS PARTNERS AND MCCARTHY BUILDING COMPANIES INCORPORATED AND COROLLA ENGINEERING INCORPORATED JOINT VENTURE FOR THE BAYTOWN AREA WATER AUTHORITY EAST SERVICE, WATER TREATMENT PLANT TWO EXPANSION.GOOD EVENING COUNCILMEN OR BOARD MEMBERS? ENP WITH BGE.
UH, FIRST WANTED TO BRING, UH, APOLOGIES FROM LINDSAY
[00:05:01]
COBAR, SHE COULDN'T MAKE IT THIS EVENING.AND ALSO TO APOLOGIZE THAT YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME TONIGHT INSTEAD OF HER BEING HERE.
UM, BUT, UH, WE'RE DISCUSSING WE'LL HAVE A, WE HAVE THE REPORT, THE MONTHLY REPORT UPDATE ON THE PROJECT, BUT AT THIS TIME, I GUESS WE'RE JUST GOING DISCUSS THE CHANGE ORDER THAT'S BEING PROPOSED.
UM, AS YOU'RE AWARE, WE WERE DELAYED IN THOSE, IN ISSUING THE NOTICE TO PROCEED TO BAYTOWN WATERWORKS PARTNERS TO BEGIN PHASE TWO OF THE, UH, THE PROGRESSIVE DESIGN BUILD PROJECT.
UM, WE HAD ANTICIPATED ISSUING NOTICE TO PROCEED IN JANUARY, BUT IT WAS DELAYED UNTIL APRIL 17TH.
AND SO WE DID ISSUE A, UH, A LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED, WHICH INCLUDED THE INTENT TO ISSUE THE NOTICE TO PROCEED AS SOON AS WE RECEIVED THE FULL FUNDING AGREEMENT FROM TWDB, WHICH WAS IN, IN APRIL.
AND SO THE CONTRACTOR WAS ABLE TO USE THAT TO SECURE AND FINALIZE SOME OF THEIR, UM, CONTRACTS SO THEY WOULDN'T LOSE THE BIDS THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED IN, UH, IN PREPARING FOR THE CONTRACT.
HOWEVER, THEY DID, UM, DUE TO THE TIME EXTENSION, THEY DID THE, THE CONSTRUCTION WINDOW OF THE PROJECT ACTUALLY EXTENDED INTO ANOTHER HURRICANE SEASON.
AND SO THEY HAD SOME INSURANCE COSTS THAT, UH, THAT WENT UP DUE TO THAT, THAT IS INCLUDED IN THESE COSTS IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT.
AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY ALSO, UM, HIRED STAFF TO, FOR THE PROJECT AND IN ORDER TO KICK IT OFF AND, AND BEGIN, UM, WE THOUGHT THAT THEY'D HAVE IT IN JANUARY AND IT JUST KEPT DELAYING.
AND SO THEY, THEY ACTUALLY BROUGHT STAFF IN FROM OUT OF STATE THAT WERE WORKING ON THE PROJECT THAT WERE GONNA BE.
SO THEY BROUGHT 'EM IN, THEY HAD THEM, THEY HAD TO PAY THEM.
SOME OF THE OTHER MAIN STAFF THAT THEY HAD, UM, WORKING ON THE PROJECT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE PROJECT OR, YOU KNOW, STILL ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT.
AND SO THERE WAS TIME AND LABOR THAT THEY HAD IN THAT.
AND THAT'S THE MAJORITY OF THE, THE COST FOR THIS CHANGE ORDER.
DUE TO THE DELAY THE STAFF LABOR COSTS, UH, WERE $512,000, 600, 512, 640 $3,000.
UM, THEY ALSO HAD, UH, THE PRICE OF COPPER.
THERE WAS AN ESCALATION THAT KICKED IN BETWEEN THE TIME OF JANUARY AND APRIL, UM, WHICH INCREASED THE COST OF $41,568.
AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED, THE BOND AND INSURANCE COST INCREASE DUE TO THEM EXTENDING INTO THE NEXT HURRICANE SEASON.
UM, AND THEN THEY HAVE THEIR DESIGN BUILDER FEE ON TOP OF THAT OF 51,000 AND CHANGE.
UM, WE, WE REVIEWED THEIR CHANGE ORDER REQUESTS AND THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, AND WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH RECOMMENDING, UM, THE APPROVAL OF THIS.
UM, IT'S STILL WITHIN THE BUDGET.
WE HAVE A OWNER'S CONTINGENCY OF, PARDON, LEMME GET THE RIGHT NUMBER HERE OF JUST UNDER TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
UM, AND THAT WAS WHAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR BUDGET WITH WITH TWDB.
UM, AND SO THIS WOULD, THIS WOULD COME FROM THAT THE CONTRACTOR CARRIES THEIR OWN CONTINGENCY, UM, WITHIN THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.
UM, BUT THAT IS FOR ISSUES THAT COME UP THAT ARE UNDER THEIR PURVIEW OR THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, THE DELAY IN, IN ISSUING THE NOTICE TO PROCEED WAS CAUSED BY THE OWNER OR CAUSED BY TWDB NOT HAVING THE FUNDS IN PLACE.
UM, AND SO THAT IS, THAT WAS OUTSIDE OF THEIR CONTROL AND OUTSIDE OF THEIR GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.
UM, AND THEN THE REST OF THE OWNER CONTINGENCY FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US ARE FOR IF THERE ARE ANYTHING THAT'S, AGAIN, OUTSIDE OF THE CONTRACTOR'S CONTROL, UM, AND THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, CAUSED BY THE OWNER OR AN OWNER, THE OWNER DECIDES TO CHANGE SOMETHING WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WORK OR THE DESIGN, UM, THAT WOULD COME FROM THOSE, THOSE FUNDS.
UM, BUT, AND ALSO JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, UH, WITHIN THEIR, THEIR BUDGET THAT WE DID APPROVE THEIR, THEIR GMP, THEIR GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, UM, THEIR CURRENT BURN RATE FOR THE PROJECT IS BETWEEN 315 TO $340,000 A MONTH.
AND SO FOR THIS, UM, THREE MONTH DELAY, UM, OF 551,000, I'M SORRY, UH, $512,000, UM, IT'S NOT THEIR FULL STAFF THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN, BUT IT IS, YOU KNOW, THEY DID HAVE SIGNIFICANT COST FOR THAT.
AND SO WITH THAT, WE DO RECOMMEND YOUR APPROVAL OF THE EXCHANGE ORDER AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE.
DO I HAVE A MOTION, A MOTION TO APPROVE SO WE CAN DISCUSS IT? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.
[00:10:01]
I'LL SECOND.SO THE, THE, THEY BROUGHT IN PEOPLE FROM OTHER STATES AND THINGS TO RAMP UP THIS PROJECT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE AUTHORITY TO PROCEED ON AND PAID THEM FOR DOING NOTHING DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME? NO, IT'S NOT THAT THEY WERE DOING NOTHING.
UM, THEY WERE STILL DOING OTHER WORK TO, UH, FOR THE PROJECT.
UM, THEY WERE PREPARING SUBMITTALS, THEY WERE DOING SOME OF THE DESIGN WORK.
THEY WERE STILL WORKING, UM, ON THEIR CONTRACTS WITH THE, UH, SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS.
SO THERE WAS STILL WORK THAT WAS, THAT WAS BEING PERFORMED.
UM, BUT SOME, SOME OF THE STAFF THAT CAME IN, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE NOW HERE AND ASSIGNED TO THE PROJECT AND, AND BEGINNING THAT WORK AND, BUT JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING THAT WORK AT THE BEGINNING OR BEFORE THE PROJECT OFFICIALLY KICKED OFF, THEY'RE STILL GONNA BE HERE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION, UM, OF THE PROJECT.
SO, UH, TO ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON THE DETAILS, UH, RA AD PWE, UH, CIP, UM, SO LET'S, LET'S DO LESS ABBREVIATIONS.
UH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING OVER CAPITAL PROJECTS.
UM, SO REALLY QUICKLY, UH, JUST TO UNDERSTAND, THEY, THEY'VE BEEN INVOLVED SINCE THE DESIGN PHASE, UH, BEING THAT THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE DESIGN BUILD, THE CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN ON BOARD HELPING, UH, FACILITATE SOME CONVERSATIONS.
UH, IAN HERE WITH BGE IS AN OLDER ADVISOR, AND SO THEY RECEIVED A LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED SO THEY COULD START SUBMITTING, UH, SOME OF THE HIGHER DOLLAR ITEMS. UH, AND SO WE DID ANTICIPATE RECEIVING THE TWDB UH, APPROVAL IN JANUARY AND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
SO IT WAS A DELAY OF ABOUT 147 DAYS.
UM, AND SO IT WASN'T THAT THEY WEREN'T AUTHORIZED TO BE ON SITE, IT'S JUST THAT THEY WERE ALREADY ON SITE AS PART OF THE, UH, THE ORIGINAL PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT.
SO THE, I THOUGHT WE WERE FUNDING A LARGE PART.
WHAT, WHAT FUNDS ARE COMING FROM THIS OTHER GROUP? THE TW.
SO TWDB SPECIFICALLY IS FUNDING ABOUT 69 MILLION.
UM, THAT'S THE SWIFT LOAN ITSELF, AND THERE IS A PORTION OF IT THAT WE'RE FUNDING.
COULD WE NOT HAVE, COULD WE NOT HAVE FUNDED THE FULL THING AND NOT HAVE TO DEPEND ON THEM FOR THAT PIECE? SO THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THIS THREE MONTH DELAY AND LET THEM KICK IN AT, AT THE BACK END.
SO, SO I DO WANT TO, SO SORRY, WE'RE GONNA TAG TEAM THIS ONE
SO, UH, SO ONE OF THE THINGS IN REVIEWING THE DOCUMENTS, WE DID HAVE INDICATION FROM TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD.
I'LL TRY NOT TO USE ACRONYMS, THAT THEY WOULD ISSUE THAT NOTE, THAT THEY WOULD ISSUE THAT APPROVAL IN JANUARY.
UM, THE WAY THAT STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING WORKS, UNTIL YOU HAVE THOSE APPROVALS, YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU CANNOT PROCEED.
YOU CANNOT PROCEED TO CONSTRUCTION, YOU CANNOT PROCEED TO THOSE THINGS.
AND SO WE WORKED WITH THEIR STAFF VERY CLOSELY, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE THINGS WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH.
AND SO WE DID DO THE APPROVALS OF THEY COULD SUBMIT THINGS THAT COULD BE APPROVED THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE USED IN CONSTRUCTION.
ALL OF THOSE, THOSE PIECES OF THE, THE CONSTRUCTION THAT CAN MOVE FORWARD THAT AREN'T CONSTRUCTION THROUGH THOSE PRE-APPROVALS.
UM, WE DIDN'T JUST TELL THEM WE'RE GONNA START IN JANUARY WITHOUT AN INDICATION THAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THAT APPROVAL.
UM, SO WHERE, WHERE DID WE GET THE INDICATION THAT WE WOULD GET IT IN JANUARY AND THEN THAT FELL APART SO I COULD STEP IN FROM THERE? SO I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A TIMELINE.
UM, ESSENTIALLY APRIL 22, WE, WE, WE WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS APRIL 22ND, 2045.
WE WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS OF GETTING A RESOLUTION APPROVED SO THAT WE COULD APPLY FOR THE SWIFT LOAN.
UH, BACK IN DECEMBER WE GOT AN ORDINANCE, UH, FOR FUNDING APPROVAL BY THE BYLAW BOARD AND THE CITY COUNCIL.
AND AROUND DECEMBER 15TH, UH, WE MADE THE AMENDMENT TO MOVE, UH, THE DESIGN BUILD INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASING.
SO, UM, IT WAS AROUND THIS TIME THAT TWDB SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY MUCH SET.
IT WAS JUST WAITING ON ENVIRONMENTAL.
UM, FROM JANUARY 7TH, UH, THAT JANUARY 7TH IS WHEN WE ACTUALLY ISSUED THE NOTICE TO PROCEED, WHICH WAS A LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED SO THAT THEY COULD START WORKING ON THE SUBMITTALS WITH THE ANTICIPATION THAT WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO WE WOULD RECEIVE THE ACTUAL, UM, APPROVAL FROM TWBB.
UM, AND AROUND MARCH 6TH, THEY ISSUED COMMENTS ESSENTIALLY REQUESTING THAT WE MODIFY SOME OF THE CONTRACT LANGUAGE, WHICH WE BROUGHT TO Y'ALL, UM, A LITTLE BIT LATER IN MARCH, APRIL TIMEFRAME.
AND SO APRIL'S ACTUALLY, WHEN WE WERE OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL TO PROCEED, TWDB GAVE US THE INDICATION THAT IT WOULDN'T BE MUCH LONGER.
AND WE DO HAVE ALL THAT CORRESPONDENCE AND EVERYTHING TO ESSENTIALLY SUPPORT OUR DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD'VE BEEN A, A SMALLER AMOUNT OF TIME.
[00:15:03]
SO THIS IS ADDITIONAL WORK ON OUR PEOPLE'S PART TO PUSH THE WATER BOARD FORWARD TO LET US GO.ANY, ANY GRANT SERVICE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT DOES REQUIRE ADDITIONAL WORK ON OUR STAFF.
BUT NOT ON THE CONTRACTOR STAFF, CORRECT? IT'S ON US, IT'S ON CITY STAFF, BGE AND CITY STAFF.
NO, I'M NOT GONNA ASK THAT QUESTION.
AND JUST, JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE DO HAVE OUR PARTNERS HERE AS WELL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM, BUT WE HAVE OUR OWNER ADVISOR, WE HAVE OURSELVES AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PROJECT, WE HAVE BIO REPRESENTATIVES.
ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE, SO THE NEXT TIME WE WON'T BE SO OPTIMISTIC, WE'LL GIVE OURSELVES A LITTLE MORE LEEWAY.
IS THERE ANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE WAITING ON, APPROVALS THAT WE'RE JUMPING THE GUN ON? NOT AT THE MOMENT.
UM, WE HAVE APPROVAL FOR SOME OF OUR SEPARATE CONTRACTS FOR SERVICES AND GOODS FOR, UH, ONE OF OUR VENDORS.
UH, THE REST OF THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN APPROVED TO THIS POINT.
UH, AND SO IT'S REALLY JUST GETTING TO THE FINAL STEP IN CONSTRUCTION.
I HAVE WHAT MIGHT BE A SILLY QUESTION, BUT, SO THE MAXIMUM PRICE GUARANTEE AMOUNT, 63 MILLION OR SOMETHING, AND YOU SAID THE WITH IS 69 MILLION? THIS WAS 69 MILLION.
UM, THAT REVISED TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT, IS THAT LIKE A NEW GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE OR WHAT? SORRY.
THOSE ARE TOTALLY UNRELATED NUMBERS.
THEY'RE JUST, WELL, THEY'RE RELATED.
BUT IT COMES OUT OF THE CONTINGENCY THAT'S ALREADY INCLUDED WITHIN, WITHIN THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.
SO IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.
THIS ONE WILL, THIS ONE'S IS THE OWNER'S CONTINGENCIES ON THIS ONE.
SORRY, IT, BECAUSE IT LOOKS NO, IT'S OKAY.
SEE SOMETHING REAL QUICK HERE.
SO THAT, THAT FIRST LINE, YOU HAVE THE TOTAL DESIGN BUILDER, UH, GMP GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, UM, INCLUDES ALL OF THE CONTRACTORS, UM, COSTS, THE DESIGN COSTS, CONSTRUCTION COSTS, ALL OF THAT ARE INCLUDED UP THERE IN, IN THE, THE FEE THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR BAYTOWN WATERWORKS PARTNERS.
THAT'S THE $69,782,861 INCLUDED IN THERE.
UM, THE THIRD LINE ITEM DOWN IS CONTINGENCIES, AND THEN THE LINE ITEM ABOVE THAT IS BWP ALLOWANCES.
THOSE ITEMS, AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, HAVE NOT ALL BEEN AUTHORIZED.
UM, AND THAT IS THEIR CONTINGENCIES.
THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THEM TO, TO DEAL WITH IN, IN CASE ANY, ANY CHANGES HAPPEN ON THEIR SIDE OF IT.
AND THEN BELOW THAT TOTAL DESIGN BUILD A GMP, YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT ARE, THAT ARE SET ASIDE OR, OR ALLOCATED FOR BAWA, WHICH INCLUDE MATERIAL TESTING, THE PULSE BED CLARIFIER, WHICH, UM, EASY MENTIONED WAS FOR THE CONTRACT, UH, WITH VEOLIA, WHICH YOU PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM THEM TO SAVE THE, UH, THE MARKUP FROM THE DESIGN BUILDER.
UM, AND THEN THE RECOMMENDED OWNER CONTINGENCY THE $2.4 MILLION, THAT IS THE, WHERE THE FUNDS ARE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
THE, UM, $677,000 WILL COME FROM THAT, AND THEN IT WILL ACTUALLY GO UP AND, AND BE PUT ABOVE THE LINE.
SO IT'LL INCREASE THAT 69.782 MILLION BY THE 677,000.
IT WON'T CHANGE THE PROJECT BUDGET
SO, SO IF YOU CONTRACT WITH THE CONTRACT YES.
AND THAT, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
AND, AND TO, TO UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE BUDGET HERE WE HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, THE BUDGET THAT'S BEEN AUTHORIZED OR, OR THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE FOR NOT AUTHORIZED THE BUDGET, WE HAVE APPROVED FROM, FROM BAWA, WE HAVE THE AUTHORIZED AMOUNT, WHICH IS OKAY, WE'RE UNDER CONTRACT FOR, FOR THAT TOTAL, WHICH IS COLUMN B, AND THEN, UM, WHAT WE SPENT IN COLUMN C AND THEN FOLLOW THE, THE FINAL COLUMN ON THE RIGHT, THE FUNDS AVAILABLE, THAT'S $6 MILLION THAT'S THERE.
THOSE ARE FUNDS THAT ARE STILL AVAILABLE TO THE BOARD THAT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROPRIATED TOWARDS, UM, UM, OR, OR APPROVED YET TO BE SPENT.
AND MADAM CHAIR, IF I MAY, UM, I WAS GOING TO, UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF STATE SOME OF WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU ALREADY.
UM, I'LL TELL YOU THAT I'VE SAT IN ON SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS, I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE CORRESPONDENCE.
UM, I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, YOUR STAFF AND YOUR PROJECT TEAM, YOU KNOW, RESPONDED PROMPTLY COMPLETELY, UM, AND IN GOOD FAITH WITH THE STATE AND, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE LOTS OF BACK AND FORTH AND LOTS OF, UM, LOTS OF REQUESTS THAT THEY DID HAVE TO FULFILL.
UM, AND I WAS GONNA ALSO MENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS, WHEN YOU ESTABLISH THE BUDGET, YOU ANTICIPATE SOME OF THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND SO WHILE WE DON'T WANT TO JUMP THE GUN AND JUST SAY WE'RE
[00:20:01]
GONNA SPEND IT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE KIND OF THE WALKTHROUGH THERE, YOU KNOW, REALLY KIND OF LAYS OUT WHAT WAS ANTICIPATED, YOU KNOW, CONSERVATIVELY THAT THESE THINGS COULD HAPPEN.AND WHILE WE DIDN'T AUTHORIZE IT, WE ANTICIPATED IT IN THE FUNDING.
AND NOW OBVIOUSLY WE ARE TAPPING INTO THAT CONTINGENCY GOAL IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE USE VERY LITTLE OF OUR CONTINGENCY MM-HMM
BUT, UM, I JUST WANNA REASSURE YOU ALL, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT, YOU KNOW, THE STAFF AND THE PROJECT TEAM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ON TOP OF THIS AND WE'RE, UM, VERY DILIGENT IN THE, UH, BACK AND FORTH WITH THE STATE.
IF I COULD ADD ONE OTHER THING TO, TO TALK ABOUT THE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE WERE WAITING JUST FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL FROM TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND THAT ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL WAS AN EXEMPTION SINCE WE'D ALREADY DONE WORK AT THE SITE AND IT WAS JUST A, NOTHING MORE THAN A SIGNATURE THAT WAS NEEDED FROM TWDB, BUT THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL FOLKS, THAT WAS A DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT THAN THE ONE THAT ALL OF OUR CORRESPONDENCES WITH SAID YES, THEY'RE REVIEWING IT, WE'LL GET IT, AND IT JUST, IT JUST DRUG OUT.
AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WE COULD DO, BUT WE GOT THE PROMISE FROM THE FOLKS THAT WE WERE DEALING WITH THAT WE WOULD HAVE IT.
THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE SPECIFIC MEETING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT I WENT TO AUSTIN FOR AND THEY HAD MORE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM THAN THEY HAD CHAIRS.
AND SO THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, WELL, MAYBE WE NEED TO TALK TO THIS PERSON, MAYBE WE NEED TO TALK TO THAT PERSON AFTER, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD ALREADY DISCUSSED THE APPROACH THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE.
AND SO WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT, UM, YOU KNOW, GETTING THAT SIGNATURE ENDED UP BEING, UM, A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING THAN WHAT WAS INDICATED TO US.
SIR, I AM GOING TO ASK A QUESTION THAT PERHAPS SEEMS, UH, SILLY, BUT WE REALLY HAVE NO CHOICE HERE.
I MEAN, WHAT I, IF WE SAY NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA PAY THAT.
I MEAN, THI THIS IS A OC PLEA AND WE, WE, THIS HAS HAPPENED, WE HAVE TO PAY IT.
IS THAT CORRECT? I, I MEAN, I'LL, I'LL ANSWER IT SIMPLY AND SAY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE ASKING ME KIND OF WHAT MY THOUGHTS ARE, I WOULD SAY YES, BUT IT'S MORE ABOUT THIS SORT OF THING WAS ANTICIPATED IN THE BUDGET.
HAS THE BURDEN OF, OF PROOF OR HAS THE INFORMATION BEEN GIVEN TO YOU AS THE BOARD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT LINE ITEM? YOU ALL NEED TO BE SATISFIED THAT WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED, WHAT WAS DONE MEETS MM-HMM
YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR APPROVAL TO AUTHORIZE THIS PORTION OF THE BUDGET.
THAT'S HOW I WOULD CHARACTERIZE IT.
I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ONE JUST PERSPECTIVE ON THIS, WHICH IS THE, THE, THE, THE GMP THAT THEY PUT FORWARD, YOU KNOW, WHILE THEY WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH US BEFOREHAND, DID NOT INCLUDE THIS INTERIM PERIOD BETWEEN WHEN THEY GOT THE LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED AND THE FULL NOTICE TO PROCEED.
THAT WASN'T IN THE INFORMATION THAT THEY PUT TOGETHER THEIR ESTIMATE, IT WASN'T IN THE, THE TIME AND IT HASN'T CHANGED WHILE WE WERE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND MAKE USE OF THAT TIME WITH THE LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED.
IT HASN'T CHANGED HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE FROM GO TO DONE.
SO WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SHORTEN THE CONSTRUCTION THEN IS WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME.
WE WERE ABLE TO SHORTEN SOME OF THE APPROVALS, BUT YOU, THEY WERE STILL NOT ABLE TO, TO PURCHASE MATERIALS THAT, THAT WERE, THAT STILL HAD TO BE PURCHASED LATER.
SO WE WE'RE ABLE TO SLIVER SOME TIME OFF, BUT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE THE, SO WE, WE MADE USE OF THE TIME THAT WE HAD EFFICIENTLY, BUT WE WERE NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GOING TO MOVE THE END DATE UP THREE MONTHS BY HAVING THE LIMITED NOTICE PROCEED.
AND CAROL, I I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING AT LEAST, UM, FOR WHAT WE EXPECT, WE EXPECT THAT THE PROJECT TEAM IS GOING TO CONSTANTLY BE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SPEED THINGS UP.
BRING THINGS IN UNDER, UNDER BUDGET.
WE'RE NOT SITTING HERE SAYING, OH, WELL NO, WE HAVE A LEVEL OF DUE DILIGENCE THAT WE EXPECT FROM OUR DESIGN BUILD TEAM.
SO HAS THIS PUSHED THE COMPLETION BACK DATE AS WELL? IT, IT DID A, UH, UM, A COUPLE MONTHS.
[00:25:01]
ONE, BUT IT DID PUSH IT BACK IN THE COMPLETION DATE.CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS SEPTEMBER 1ST 28, SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2028 READY TO VOTE.
AND THAT WAS PART OF THE COST WAS THE INSURANCE THAT TOOK US INTO ANOTHER HURRICANE FURTHER INTO ANOTHER HURRICANE SEASON.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE HAVE A QUESTION? NO.
[c. Consider authorizing the submission of a services agreement for the voluntary annexation of approximately 60 acres of land owned by the Baytown Area Water Authority and located at 5359 East Grand Parkway South.]
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 60 ACRES OF LAND OWNED BY THE AUTHORITY AND LOCATED AT 53 59 EAST GRAND PARKWAY SOUTH.AND DO YOU WANT ME TO, I WAS GONNA SAY EITHER WAY.
YEAH, I, I'M HAPPY TO, UM, UH, LET ME FIRST OFF, SAY, WITHOUT GETTING, UH, TOO PERSONAL THAT, UM, I'VE BEEN OUT FOR A BIT WITH SOME, UM, PRETTY SERIOUS FAMILY ISSUES AND, UM, I WOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO HAVE INTRODUCED IT AND KIND OF WALK THROUGH IT HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THAT.
SO, UM, I'LL KIND OF JUST TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REINTRODUCE IT AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE RECEIVED BEFORE.
UM, IN LOOKING AT OUR FACILITIES AND, UM, LOOKING AT, UH, PROJECTS THAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE, UM, AT SITES, UH, WE WANT TO BE, THE CITY WANTS TO BE, OR I'M SORRY, BAWA WOULD WANT THE CITY TO BE THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
AND SO WITH IT IN THE COUNTY, THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
WE HAVE, UM, CERTAIN ADVANTAGES WITH HAVING OUR FACILITIES IN THE CITY, UM, YOU KNOW, THE COORDINATION OF WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, UH, GETTING THE APPROVALS THAT WE NEED FOR OUR PROJECTS.
UM, AND THIS IS IN MY MIND, SOMEWHAT OF A CLEANUP.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS, I ALWAYS BEEN SITTING OUT THERE FOR A WHILE, AND CITIES HAVE THE ABILITY TO ANNEX, UM, PROPERTIES THAT THEY OWN.
IN THIS CASE IT'S NOT 100% THE CITY, BUT BAWA AS A, UM, UM, SUBSIDIARY, UM, COMPONENT, COMPONENT, COMPONENT UNIT, UM, AND FOLLOWING ALL OF THE APPLICABLE LAWS, THIS PUTS US IN A BETTER POSITION TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THE SITE, MANAGE THE EQUIPMENT, AND, UH, REALLY TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF WITHOUT HAVING TO, UH, DEAL WITH OTHER AGENCIES THAT WILL OUR TAXES GO UP.
UM, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER, SIR.
I'M THINKING A SMALL INCREASE IN TAXES.
JUST MAKE YOU, YOU DIDN'T, YOU DIDN'T BLINK.
I, I WAS KIND OF WORRIED FOR A SECOND.
YOU KNOW, IF THE CITY ANNEXES, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PROVIDE WATER AND SEWER, THE OUTHOUSES BANK.
I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA STOP AT THIS POINT, BUT I APPRECIATE, UH, THE, UH, LEVITY
IS THERE A, UM, DO I HAVE A, A MOTION? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION A SECOND.
I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ALL QUESTIONS DISCUSSION.
THEN WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ON AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.
OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
[a. Receive the Baytown Area Water Authority Quarterly Financial and Investment Reports for the Quarter Ending June 30, 2026.]
WE WILL RECEIVE THE AUTHORITIES QUARTERLY FINANCIAL AND INVESTMENT REPORTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2026.UM, I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE QUARTERLY, UH, THIRD QUARTER REPORT, UM, FOR PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2026.

UH, 18 MILLION IN EXPENDITURES AT 78% OVER BUDGET, LEAVING A WORKING CAPITAL BALANCE OF 7.7 MILLION.
UM, FOR OUR CIP PROGRAM, WE HAVE, UH, 3.3 MILLION IN REVENUE, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE TRANSFERS FROM OUR BORROW OPERATING ACCOUNT.
AND THEN WE HAVE A CAPITAL OUTLAY AT 1 MILLION AT 9% OF OUR BUDGET, LEAVING A WORKING CAPITAL BALANCE OF 8.66 MILLION.
UM, OUR, UH, INVESTMENT BOOK VALUE IS 88 MILLION.
THAT UPTICK IS DUE TO THE, UH, TEXAS, UH, WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD, UH, FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED IN APRIL.
AND OUR EARNINGS FOR THE QUARTER IS 538,000.
OUR, UH, RIGHT NOW OUR INVESTMENT IS ACTUALLY 1.4 MILLION
[00:30:02]
FOR THE FULL YEAR, BUT THIS IS JUST FOR THE QUARTER AND THAT ALSO INCLUDES ALL OF OUR OTHER, UH, BOND FUNDS THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE.AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE CERTAINLY, UH, SPEND A LOT MORE ON SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE.
I GUESS, UH, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DEEP INTO THAT EARLIER IN THE, DO WE KNOW IF THAT'S GONNA CONTINUE TO OUTRUN THE BUDGET? WELL, UM, DUE TO THE FISCAL YEAR AND CLOSE, WE HAVE, UH, WE'RE GONNA STOP SPENDING AS OF OCTO AUGUST 31ST.
SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE IT GOING OVER UNLESS STERLING HAS PROJECTIONS THAT WE'RE NOT AWARE OF.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[b. Receive a report on the status of the Baytown Area Water Authority East Expansion Project.]
A REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE AUTHORITIES EAST EXPANSION PROJECT.IAN, PETE WITH BGE, UM, GIVEN OUR MONTHLY UPDATE ON THE, UH, BALA EAST WATER SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION, UM, CONTRACTOR, UH, BAYTOWN WATER WORKS PARTNERS, UH, JOINT VENTURE DESIGN BUILDER IS ON SITE AND THEY ARE, UM, MOVING SOME DIRT POURING CONCRETE AND THINGS ARE, UM, ARE HAPPENING OUT THERE, UM, NEXT MONTH.
I WAS TELLING BRENDA BEFORE THE MEETING NEXT MONTH, I INTEND TO, TO BRING IN SOME DRONE VIDEOS TO SHOW YOU EACH MONTH OF THE, THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S GOING ON AND HAVE THAT PLANE, EXCUSE ME, DURING THE PRESENTATION SO Y'ALL CAN, CAN GET AN UPDATE EACH MONTH AND SEE HOW, HOW, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION'S PROGRESSING.
UM, BUT RIGHT NOW THE, UH, THE FOCUS IS ON THE PRE-TREATMENT TRAIN.
UM, THEY WERE ABLE TO, TO DO THE, UH, THE DEEP EXCAVATIONS THERE, GET THE, UM, THE SLABS POURED AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY COMING UP VERTICALLY OUT OF THE GROUND NOW.
UM, AND THEN RIGHT NOW THE FOCUS IS ON THE SLAB AT THAT AREA.
UM, THEY'VE ALSO EXCAVATED FOR THE, UH, GROUND STORAGE TANK AND GOT DOWN TO THE, UH, THE SUBGRADE AND DID THE OVER EXCAVATION THAT WAS REQUIRED AND, AND, UH, REACHED THE, UH, COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE NEEDED THERE.
SO, UH, THEY'RE MOVING, MOVING ALONG WELL AND ON, ON SCHEDULE.
UM, WE TALKED ABOUT THE BUDGET ON THE, THE OTHER ITEM.
UM, AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THEY, THERE ARE ABOUT, UH, I THINK IT'S ABOUT 19% OF THEIR TOTAL, UM, BUDGET THAT THEY'RE, THAT THEY ARE COMPLETE.
UM, AND WE STILL ARE TRACKING TO BE, UM, ON BUDGET AND ON TIME FOR THE PROJECT.
I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT TO YOU THAT COLUMN B AND YOUR SCHEDULE THERE DOESN'T, FOOT DOESN'T, I'M SORRY, DOESN'T WHAT DOESN'T ADD UP.
IF YOU TAKE COLUMN B AND YOU ADD THE TOTAL NUMBERS, THAT 65 MILLION 535 8 46 IS NOT CORRECT.
IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE 68 1 67 THAT'S, UH, IN CONTINGENCIES, JUST SO YOU'LL KNOW.
AND, AND I THINK I, I DID MENTION THIS EARLIER, BUT I I, THERE WAS A, UH, AN ERROR FROM THE, THE SPREADSHEET OR THE, THE WHAT YOU HAVE COMPARED TO WHAT'S SHOWN NOW ON THE SCREEN.
UH, AND THAT WAS TO ACCOUNT FOR COLUMN B.
NO, WHAT'S SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IS EXACTLY WHAT'S ON MY PRINTOUT.
IF YOU LOOK ON PAGE 89, WHICH HAS THIS SAME INFORMATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT THOSE NUMBERS ADD UP TO 65 MILLION 600, 4 0 13.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT IS JUST A'S JUST A PROOFING ERROR.
SOMEBODY DIDN'T PROOF IT, BUT JUST POINT OUT TO YOU THAT IT DOESN'T FOOT.
I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S THE NUMBER I'M SEEING.
YEAH, WELL YOU GOT THE SAME INFORMATION ON TWO PAGES AT AT AUTO AGREE.
WE'LL GET THAT CORRECTED FOR NEXT TIME.
UM, AND THEN WE DID TALK ABOUT THE, UH, THE CONTINGENCY REQUEST, UH, CHANGE ORDERS.
