Title
Consider and take action on a resolution approving the Third Amended and Restated Water Supply Contract between Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) and City of League City, Texas for the replacement and capacity upgrade of the 42-inch Southeast Transmission Line (SETL) and the acquisition of 20,000,000 gallons per day (MGD) of untreated raw water capacity (Director of Public Works)

Approval of this resolution will authorize the Third Amended and Restated Water Supply Contract between GCWA and the City of League City (COLC) which adds language addressing contractual obligations between GCWA and the City of Houston (COH), on behalf of the COLC, for the replacement and capacity upgrade of the existing 42-inch SETL from the Southeast Water Purification Plant (SEWPP) to the City’s State Highway 3 Booster Pump Station (SH3 BPS) located in Webster, Texas, and also addresses contractual obligations for the Untreated Water Reservation Contract for 20 MGD of raw water capacity from COH.
