Gulf Coast Water Authority - Monofil Cell No. 2 Development

The contract involves the development of a second cell at the existing Monofil facility operated by the Gulf Coast Water Authority in Texas. The primary scope of work includes removing the current gravel roadway and drainage ditches, relocating existing culverts, and constructing Monofil Cell No. 2 to facilitate the consolidation of the first cell with the new one. Additionally, a new discharge line from the sludge thickener to the new cell will be installed. Several alternate bid items are offered, including the removal and consolidation of sludge from the existing cell, replacement of perimeter fencing, construction of a roadway culvert crossing the Texas City ditch, and removal of sludge from Sedimentation Basin No. 1 for transfer into the new cell. These alternates provide options for additional scope and enhancements beyond the base bid. The estimated cost for the base bid ranges from $650,000 to $700,000, with the potential to increase up to $1,000,000 based on project scope and additional bid items.
