THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Baxter & Woodman reported that design of the Augusta Standpipe replacement with a new elevated storage tank (EST) is about 75% complete, with TCEQ plan review submittal planned for early June 2026. The district intends to bid and award the EST construction between August and October 2026, with an estimated Notice to Proceed of November 1, 2026 and 420 days to substantial completion (targeting December 26, 2027). This is a major water storage capital project driven by pressure and reliability issues in the Point Venture system.
The project budget, as summarized in the bond program, currently anticipates roughly $4.94M for tank construction within a total EST program cost of about $7.04M, funded via district bonds. No construction contractor has been selected yet, so civil, tank, controls, coatings, and site contractors still have a window to position for bid, along with firms that can support TCEQ permitting, inspection, and construction management. Vendors with elevated tank design-build capabilities, tank accessories, coatings, cathodic protection, and integration to SCADA can begin pre-RFP discussions with Baxter & Woodman and district leadership ahead of the late‑2026 bid window.
Funding expected from district bond program; Texas Water Development Board D-Fund has been approved for related work but Board is weighing open-market funding options.
