📰About Bay City Waste Water Treatment Plant
Project Overview and Scope
The City of Bay City filed a TDLR registration for the new construction of an administration building at the Bay City Waste Water Treatment Plant. Located at 4511 Starling Drive in Matagorda County, the facility is designed to house the staff responsible for operating and maintaining the plant. The project covers a total area of 4,956 sq ft, with an estimated cost of $2,500,000. This places the construction cost at $504 per square foot, a figure that sits above the county median of $169 per square foot for similar new construction filings.
Garver serves as the design firm of record for this infrastructure improvement. The registered accessibility specialist for the project is Ross A Thomas. The filing notes that the project involves public funds and public land. In Matagorda County, the median estimated cost for new construction projects is $1,200,000, and the median size is 5,148 sq ft. This project’s scheduled build window of 1,279 days is longer than the county median of 282 days, reflecting the specific scope of the administration building addition.
Timeline and Current Status
TDLR completed the plan review process in June 2022, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month. The original completion date listed in the filing was December 2025. However, the public record indicates that TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the project remains in a status of Review Complete without a verified closure date.
The City of Bay City has two other TDLR-registered projects totaling $17,881,012, including the Bay City Public Safety Center and a separate project listed simply as City of Bay City. Garver has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $33,277,917 across various Texas locations, including Hutto, Friona, Del Valle, and Austin. The Matagorda County unemployment rate was 6.1 percent in July 2026, providing context for the local labor market during this extended construction period.
