Council approves Hollywood Road boiler-replacement engineering and aeration basin repairs
The September 22, 2026 consent agenda included a $211,000 professional engineering services agreement with KSA Engineers, Inc. for replacement of the boiler system at the Hollywood Road Wastewater Treatment Facility (CIP #PRJ-0000221) and a $136,605 contract with Tri-State General Contractors (Sourcewell cooperative contract) for concrete and air pipe repairs to Aeration Basins 1 and 2 at the same plant (CIP #PRJ-523954), both from water and sewer fund revenues. Draft minutes record the consent agenda passing 4-1. The aeration basin memo says the TCEQ agreed order identified the air leaks in Aeration Basins 1 and 2 as an issue requiring correction; the TCEQ commissioners adopted that order the next day.[1][2][3][4]

The transmittal memo for the aeration basin contract says the work addresses air leaks in the aeration piping and associated concrete, and states: "The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Agreed Order identified that the air leaks in Aeration Basins 1 and 2 as an issue requiring correction." It lists a $500,000 remaining balance in PRJ-523954. The boiler memo says the engineering covers evaluation, design and coordination to replace the boiler system and "maintain reliable treatment operations and TCEQ regulatory compliance," funded by a PRJ-0000132 to PRJ-0000221 transfer approved August 11, 2026.
