How to bid on wastewater system O&M for the City of West Lake Hills

What the City is buying

The City of West Lake Hills is seeking proposals for ongoing operations and maintenance of its wastewater system, including emergency response. The system has four lift stations and no wastewater treatment plants; raw wastewater is delivered to the City of Austin collection system.

The lift stations are The Village, Rocky River, Westbank and Belmont. The solicitation describes their pumps and notes that Belmont has no generator installed. This may suit firms with experience maintaining wastewater collection systems and lift stations.

Deadline and what to confirm

The listed deadline is November 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. Submit your response before the deadline, following the instructions in the solicitation.

The summary says no proposal deadline details are provided, while the listing gives a date and time. Check the current CivCast project documents and addenda to confirm the deadline and submission instructions before preparing your response.

Who this opportunity may suit

This opportunity may suit wastewater operations and maintenance contractors able to support lift stations and provide emergency response. The described work concerns the City’s wastewater system, not treatment plant operations.
