WHEREAS, the City of Georgetown, Georgetown, Texas, hereinafter termed the
City, applied to the Texas Water Development Board, Austin, Texas, hereinafter
termed the Board, for a planning grant to develop a regional wastewater plan;
WHEREAS, the City has agreed to com-nit funds to pay for the local share
of the planning project;
WHEREAS, the City is the entity who will act as administrator of the
Board's planning grant and will be responsible for the execution of this
contract; and
WHEREAS, on January 21, 1988, the Board approved the application for
financial assistance;
NOW THEREFORE, the Board and the City, for the mutual consideration
stated, agree and understand as follows:
WITNESSETH:
Ili I 11A I
As a joint and cooperative undertaking with the Board, to be financed
jointly as hereinafter specified, the City will prepare a regional wastewater
plan for the Georgetown area.
Services and activities provided shall be in strict accordance with re-
quirements of the Texas Water Code, Chapter 15; associated rules of 31 Texas
Administrative Code, Chapter 355, Sections 355.10-355.19; Attachment A, the
original grant application, which is made a permanent part of this Contract;
and with the following procedures and project descriptions:
1. It shall be the responsibility of the City to establish formal and
direct liaison with the entities listed in Exhibit A; the directors of
utility districts within the service area that have notified the City
of their interest in the project; appropriate officials of the rIbwn of
Weir; officials of the Brazos River Authority; representatives of the
Capital Area Planning Council; and community leaders in the proposed
service area for the purpose of coordinating the work of the planning
project and to acquire available data pertinent to the planning
effort. Planning shall be coordinated with all existing wastewater
treatment studies and activities for the purpose of providing
information for the proposed project. As the organizing entity, the
City has the responsibility to solicit comments from the general
public as to the content of the planning project.
2. The project will produce a feasibility -level plan for a regional
wastewater system for a service area which is defined as the city
limits of Georgetown and its extra -territory jurisdiction (FTJ), the
incorporated limits and ETJ of the 'Ibwn of Weir, -the certified service
area of the Williamson County MUDs #5 and,#6, and approximately 1,500
acres of privately owned land and portions of major watersheds outside
the above referenced service areas to include the San Gabriel River,
Berry Creek, Pecan Branch, Smith Branch, Mankins Branch and Lake
Granger.
The City will conduct the planning study according to the following
tasks. Additional task detail is provided in Exhibit B.
Task I. Develop and collect data from the City of Georgetown, Thwn
11 of Weir, Williamson County MUD's #5 and #6, and private land
owners including existing treatment plants flows, effluent
quality and system capacities, lift system locations and
capacities, and current rate structures. Estimates of
potential users and/or developments with potential flows
M
will be developed; and current,, projected, and land use
population data for the proposed service area will be
developed. Potential flows will take into account water
savings incorporated in the water conservation plan prepared
in Task IV.
Task II. Identify and evaluate potential service areas based on
timing of potential developments, quantification of waste
loads, projection of sewer flows, and analysis and
determination of cost effective service boundaries.
Task III. Evaluate major interceptor and -treatment -alternatives
including:
A. Determine acceptable wasteloads on the San Gabriel
River and major watersheds in the planning area.
1. Establish watershed models for Berry Creek,
Pecan Branch, and San Gabriel River (Lake
Georgetown Dam to Lake Granger).
2. Develop discharge simulations on existing and
proposed capacity for the City of Georgetown,
Town of Weir, and Williamson County MUD's #5 and
#6.
3. Create Lake Granger model based on historical
conditions vs increased capacities for the City
of Georgetown, Town of Weir, and Williamson
County MUD's #5 and #6.
B. Investigate and analyze environmental concerns.

SM
E. Delineate construction sequence for proposed
wastewater treatment facilities and lines including
time intervals and associated costs.
Task IV. Prepare a water conservation plan for the proposed planning
area to promote efficient use of water supplies and manage-
ment of wastewater loadings. Water savings identified in
the water conservation plan will be incorporated in
projections of wastewater loadings developed in Task I.
Task V. Develop financial plan for proposed treatment plant facility
and lines for the planning area.
A. Estimate revenue potential for respective
construction stages.
B. Determine financial ability to implement and sustain
the proposed wastewater system.

RE: Engineering Contract
Winkler'uy, Rice, Inc.
PLANNERS • FURVEYORS
Transmitted herein is thre(' (3) executed copies of our Engineering Contract for the
Georgetown Regional Wastewater Planning Grant from the Texas Water Development
Board (TWDB).
We have taken the TWDB contract and made appropriate changes and additions. T"m
major addition is Section I - Basic Services of Engineer #4. We will prepare t
Georgetown Regional Wastewater Plan with the level of detail included n Task I
and EXHIBIT B, SCOPE OF SERVICES attached to the Engineering Contract. T
Regional Wastewater Plan will be formatted for the City of Georgetown to use toward
application which meets the requirements of the State Revolving Loan Fund Progra,
Draft Emergency Rules, Chapter 375, dated December 17, 1987.
We are confident that all of the planning grant effort will be usable in a regional
facility plan. We are reasonably confident that several items of work will completely
fulfill the State Revolving Fund requirements (such as service -planning planning areas, populations,
water quality - wasteload evaluations, and water conservation plan).
We look forward to reviewing this contract at an early date to resolve any questions
well in advance of the schedule needed to meet the April 20 TWDB deadline.
Yours truly,
