College Station City Council Postpones A Second Time, Adding $1 Million To A Sewer Trunkline Design Contract

For the second time in as many months, the College Station council tables a $1 million dollar contract to change the design of a sewer trunkline to keep it out of residential neighborhoods in south Bryan. On April 25th, the contract was tabled last month because the city of Bryan had not signed an interlocal agreement (ILA). During the council’s May 23rd meeting, mayor John Nichols said the two cities are still working on the ILA. While the new route of the trunkline stays out of Bryan’s residential neighborhoods, it does cross into Bryan near the Burton Creek wastewater treatment plant. No date was set for the College Station council to bring back the amended design contract.

City manager Bryan Woods told the council that they have tried to get the city of Bryan to sign an interlocal agreement. Mayor John Nichols confirmed that tabling the vote applied only to the change order and not the rest of the design contract. While the new route of the trunkline stays out of Bryan’s residential neighborhoods, it does cross into Bryan near the Burton Creek wastewater treatment plant.
