President Bradley Smith convened the June 20, 2018, BAWA Board Regular Meeting with a
quorum present at 9:00 A.M. all members were present.
1. PROPOSED RESOLUTION
a. Consider a resolution authorizing change order 3 to the Baytown Area Water
Authority High Service Pump Station Improvements Project with Allco, LLC.
City Engineer Jose Pastrana presented the item and stated that this proposed change order adds a
remote control to the sixteen inch water line that services the Highlands area, along with the
addition of electrical controls to the new valves that were just installed at the header system for
the high service pump. This change order is in the amount of $54,305.23, which is 25% of the
actual cost; the contractor, Allco LLC., has agreed to pay for 75% of the associated cost. Mr.
Pastrana noted that the reason for this cooperation is that staff left this off of the bid; however, it
should have been understood that it was a part of the project, so the contractor feels some
responsibility for the oversight and has agreed to help with the costs. Mr. Pastrana stated that
staff recommends approval of this item.
A motion was made by Secretary Frank McKay III and seconded by Director Brandon Benoit
approving Resolution No. 2018-19, regarding agenda item La. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: President Brenda Bradley Smith, Vice President Mike Wilson,
Secretary Frank McKay III, Director Harland Forrest Jr. and Director
Brandon Benoit
Nays: None
Other: None
Approved

2. REPORTS
a. Receive an update regarding the Baytown Area Water Authority East Plant Project.
City Engineer Jose Pastrana stated that this past Monday, the contractor broke ground on the
BAWA East Plant Project, but had to stop work because of the unfavorable weather conditions.
Mr. Pastrana stated that it is Staffs hopes that the rain will cease soon, so they can get back to
work to make up for time lost. He further noted that this project has a three year completion
cycle, but the contractor believes it can be completed in 24 months and while they will not
commit to that timeline, they are going to aim for that goal.
Mr. Pastrana noted that the submittal process is in progress and there has been a very good
response. He also noted that the contractor has started planning its vertical and horizontal control
for the site, and it is staffs hope that they will be able to make good progress in the next few
months. He further noted that the access road to the site from SH99 has been completed with the
exception of a 20 foot section that is in dispute; however, staff has directed to contractor to move
forward and complete this section because it is the last 20 feet before reaching the site. Mr.
Pastrana clarified that there is already access to the site from 1405, so this will not impact the
ongoing work on the site.
