4. Consideration and possible recommendation to award a contract to Keystone Construction, Inc., of Austin, Texas, for the construction of Leander Pump Station Expansion in the amount of $271,000.00. -- Glenn Dishong, Tom Benz
   
   Discussion: Dishong gave the Board some background information on this pump station. Due to the development in this area we will need to expand this site. These improvements will provide additional pumping capacity and improve fire flow to the development served by the 1178' pressure plan. This project is also required as part of the agreements with Parkside and Mayfield MUD's and Water Oak development.
   
   Dishong also stated that per the contract, when project is completed, ABG would be reimbursing the City for the cost of one of the pumps. Staff will also be shifting some of the 2006 annexation related to water projects from 2007/08 into 2008/09 where originally scheduled. Sattler stated for the record the total cost of the project is $271,000.00, the Budget is $115,000.00, the deficit $156,000.00, ABG will pay approximately $56,000.00 thus causing $100,000.00 overage for this project. Dishong agreed with Sattler's assessment. Sattler also stated that staff is attributing this overage to the change of scope and the higher cost of materials.
   
   Action: Motion by Lenning, seconded by Bland to award a contract to Keystone Construction, Inc. for the construction of Leander Pump Station Expansion in the amount of $271,000.00.
   
   Approved 6-0 (Young absent)

   Action: Motion by Page, seconded by Lenning to approve the one year extension with Austin Wood Recycling.
