The Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) requests Statements of Qualifications for Professional Engineering Services for final design of the Authority’s Phase 2 Project. BCRUA is a local partnership of Leander, Cedar Park and Round Rock, Texas to design and construct a regional water system that will supply potable water to the three member cities.
Phase 1 of the project has been separated in sub-phases Phase 1A through 1D. Phase 1A was completed in 2012 and consisted of construction of a floating intake structure in the Sandy Creek arm of Lake Travis; a raw water transmission pipeline up Trail’s End Road and Highway 1431; a 17 million gallon per day (MGD) WTP and, treated water transmission lines for delivery into the Cedar Park, Leander and Round Rock potable water distribution systems. Phase 1B was a capacity re-rate of the floating raw water intake and the WTP and was completed in early 2018. Phase 1C is an ongoing expansion to the floating raw water intake and the WTP to a capacity of approximately 32.5 MGD.
Phase 2 consists of a permanent raw water intake in a deeper location within Lake Travis (which will replace the floating intake), and then deliver that water by gravity to a new high capacity pumping station located adjacent to the Cedar Park WTP. Raw water will then be pumped to the BCRUA, Cedar Park, and Leander WTP’s. The project includes multiple key elements that will result in the construction of a Deep Water Intake System with an ultimate capacity of 144.7 MGD. The intake’s capacity will be allocated among the BCRUA Regional WTP (105.8 MGD), the City of Cedar Park WTP (26.9 MGD), and the City of Leander WTP (12.0 MGD).
