Waco considers $3.78M contract for Mount Carmel water treatment pump
The November 3 agenda proposed up to $3.78 million for Pump No. 7 installation, alongside a separate $985,000 wastewater-equipment purchase.
Waco City Council’s November 3 agenda included a proposed construction contract of up to $3.78 million with Mayim Municipal Builders LLC. The work would install Vertical Turbine Pump No. 7 at the Mount Carmel Water Treatment Plant, giving the city a defined pumping infrastructure package at an existing facility.
The agenda identifies the equipment to be installed, the proposed contractor and the contract ceiling. Details such as the pump’s rated capacity, associated electrical and controls work, and the sequence for connecting it to the plant were not established in the available summary. The installation schedule and final council action also remain unverified.
A separate agenda item proposed spending $985,000 on an ANDRITZ belt filter press for the regional wastewater treatment plant. That purchase concerns a different facility and procurement scope. The Mount Carmel item covers construction to install a pump at a drinking water treatment plant. The ANDRITZ item covers equipment for wastewater treatment.
For contractors and suppliers, the Mount Carmel agenda item identifies the proposed prime contractor for the installation package. The wastewater item identifies the equipment supplier and purchase amount. Any installation work associated with the filter press would need to be established separately.
