BACKGROUND
• The transfer of treated water from the Leonard Water Treatment Plant (WTP) into the existing NTMWD north transmission system will require the addition of a 72-inch water transmission pipeline from the site of the McKinney Delivery Point No. 4 to the site of McKinney’s Delivery Point No. 3.
• The new pipeline will serve to close a major loop in the north transmission system and enhance the movement and reliability of water to the remote parts of the system currently experiencing increased demands due to growth.
• In June 2018, the Board approved Administrative Memorandum No. 5189 authorizing Preliminary Engineering design. Subsequent administrative memoranda were approved in February 2019 (No. 5351) and August 2019 (No. 5458) for expedited routing design and real estate acquisition.
• In June 2021, the Board approved Administrative Memorandum No. 5734 authorizing Final Engineering Design services to advance the pipeline design to 60% level.
• In November 2021 the Board approved Consent Agenda Item No. 21-11-02 authorizing additional services for Adjustment No. 2 on the pipeline project for the cultural resources services, as required by the Texas Historic Commission.
• In September 2022 the Board approved Administrative Memorandum No. 5861 authorizing additional services to advance the pipeline Final Engineering Design from 60% level through construction.
• In February 2024 the Board approved Administrative Memorandum No. 24-5990 authorizing the construction management and supplemental inspection services for the pipeline project.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
