Item 19 Water & Wastewater Commission: November 10, 2026 Council: December 3, 2026 Posting Language ..Title Recommend approval to authorize an amendment to the construction contract to mitigate zebra mussel growth at various water treatment plants for Austin Water with Excel Construction Services, LLC, to increase the amount by $210,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $5,150,724. Funding: $210,000 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water. ..Body Lead Department Austin Financial Services. Managing Department Austin Capital Delivery Services. Fiscal Note Funding is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water. Procurement Language: This contract was awarded in compliance with the City Code Chapter 2-9A (Minority-Owned and Women- Owned Business Enterprises). Current participation to date is 1.41% MBE and 13.37% WBE. MBE / WBE: This contract was awarded in compliance with the City Code Chapter 2-9A (Minority-Owned and Women- Owned Business Enterprises). Current participation to date is 1.41% MBE and 13.37% WBE. Prior Council Action: June 16, 2022 – Council approved a contract with Excel Construction Services, LLC. for the Zebra Mussels Mitigation. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: November 10, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: In 2017 Texas Parks and Wildlife detected zebra mussels in several locations in Lake Austin. Since then, zebra mussels have been confirmed growing on raw water intake infrastructure at the Davis Water Treatment Plant (WTP), Handcox WTP, and Ullrich WTP. Adult zebra mussels can attach to submerged piping and mechanical equipment, clogging small valves and pipelines, reducing capacity of pipelines, and attaching to pumps which can result in pump failure. Austin Water currently uses copper sulfate treatment systems to control zebra mussel growth in the raw water systems at its water treatment plants. This project will replace these systems with a copper ion generation (CIG) system. CIG is an electrolysis process that produces copper ions without the need of chemical storage and feed systems. The CIG system allows copper to be introduced at the raw water pumps, providing protection to downstream infrastructure and preventing zebra mussel growth within piping and equipment that cannot be accessed by divers. Item 19 Water & Wastewater Commission: November 10, 2026 Council: December 3, 2026 Austin operates three water treatment plants that supply drinking water to the Austin area. Handcox WTP was built in 2014 and has a current rated capacity of 50 million gallons per day …

Austin Water has occupied this space since May 2003. The current lease agreement expires November 30, 2026, and Austin Water needs additional time at this location to continue conducting water quality testing before moving to the new City- owned facility at 712 Huntland Drive.

Item 21 Water & Wastewater Commission: November 10, 2026 Council: December 3, 2026 Posting Language ..Title Recommend approval to authorize a contract for Flygt pumps and repair parts for wastewater lift stations and treatment facilities for Austin Water with Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. d/b/a Xylem Flygt Products, for an initial term of two years in an estimated amount of $520,000 with up to three one-year extension options each in an estimated amount of $260,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,300,000.

MBE/WBE: Sole source contracts are exempt from the City Code Chapter 2-9B (Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program); therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: November 10, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Austin Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: The contract will provide Austin Water with pumps and parts for the approximately 87 Flygt pumps across its lift stations, remote facilities, and the Hornsby Bend Biosolids Treatment Plant. These pumps run continuously to maintain wastewater levels and support treatment processes. All of these facilities were originally engineered using Flygt-specific mounting, rail systems, electrical connections, and control components. Due to these proprietary design elements, only Flygt-manufactured pumps and parts are compatible with existing infrastructure. Xylem, the parent company of Flygt, is the sole authorized manufacturer and distributor of Flygt pumps and original equipment parts. The contract will replace an existing contract expiring December 7, 2026. Requested authorization is based on departmental estimates, historical spend and forecasted usage. The recommended contractor is the current provider for these services. If the City is unable to secure a contract, Austin Water would be unable to obtain replacement pumps or critical components in a timely manner when equipment fails. This would increase the risk of extended outages and service disruptions, reduce operational reliability, and impact the continuity of wastewater collection and treatment across Austin Water facilities. Maintaining wastewater and water handling systems is critical for day to day public …

Maxwell absent. One vacancy on the dais.] STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use because it is appropriate in this location near single family uses. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to LO-NP (Limited Office district – Neighborhood Plan) for an office use, which is a low-intensity commercial use. Navasota Street provides a local connection between three commercial corridors, Rosewood Avenue, East 11th Street, and East 12th Street. Neighborhood Mixed Use recognizes the role Navasota Street already plays in connecting residential and commercial areas and provides an opportunity for appropriately scaled neighborhood-serving uses. Site 02 NPA-2026-0009.01 - Wesley Relocation Project; District 12 of 38 Below are sections of the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan that staff believe supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use. The plan supports neighborhood-serving commercial uses on commercial corridors. Although Navasota Street is not a commercial corridor, it essentially serves as a connector between three major commercial corridors. Staff believes a low-intensity neighborhood office use is appropriate in this location. LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached …
