Fiscal Note Funding is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water. Procurement Language: Change Order. MBE / WBE: This contract was awarded in compliance with the City Code 2-9A (Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program). Current participation to date is 62.20% MBE and 0.95% WBE. Prior Council Action: December 9, 2021 – Council approved a contract with Santa Clara Construction Ltd. for the Hyde Park Water and Wastewater Pipeline Renewal Project. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 - To be reviewed by Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: The Hyde Park Water and Wastewater Pipeline Renewal project is part of the Renewing Austin Program. The Renewing Austin Program is an ongoing effort to replace, and upgrade deteriorated and aging water mains with a documented history of multiple breaks, that are in poor condition, and that impact service delivery. In addition, the program coordinates and includes wastewater lines and other needed improvements by other departments within the project area. During construction, Austin Water requested additional water utility infrastructure to be added to the project. Located along W. 46th St., between Avenue G and Avenue F, the added construction included a total of approximately 340 linear feet of eight-inch polyvinyl chloride waterline, two 8-inch gate valves, and two service lines for individual properties. Additionally, because of the age of the infrastructure accurate records were not available during design and due to the unforeseen conditions, the contract’s allowance for private service relocations was overrun as the number of service relocations was substantially greater than what was anticipated. Lastly, due to unforeseen conditions, to maintain water service during construction, the proposed temporary water service line had to be extended, adding approximately 800 linear feet of 6-inch pipe, 640 linear feet of 2-inch service pipe, and equipment.

Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Committee. Additional Backup Information: The Rock Harbour Force Main project consists of approximately 4,500 linear feet of a new High-Density Polyethylene force main installed from Rock Harbour Lift Station to the existing ductile iron force main on Vista Parke Drive. The alignment parallels Rock Harbour Drive, crosses FM 620, parallels Wilson Park Avenue, turns south on Woodbay Parke Drive, then connects to the existing Four Points #2 16-inch force main. The proposed force main across RM 620 will be installed via trenchless construction while the remaining force main will be open cut. There will also be 100 linear feet of ductile iron force main installed via open-cut across Wilson Parke Avenue at 12132 1/2 Wilson Parke Avenue. Also included is the demolition of Four Points #2 Lift Station and abandonment of 2,540 linear feet of gravity main and associated manholes. Lastly, the project includes the installation of the final fourth pump at the Rock Harbour Lift Station and changing the impellers on the existing three pumps. At the beginning of construction, Right of Way management identified safety gaps in the approved Traffic Control Plan. The gaps required significant plan redesign that has increased the cost and scope of the Traffic Control Plan. Additionally, the lift station and force main was previously built and maintained by the Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District #1. …

Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 - Reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: Austin Water’s collection system is a large and complex, consisting of approximately 3,000 miles of wastewater mains and serving approximately one million customers, and is fundamental for the transfer of the wastewater to Austin Water’s treatment plants. The Crosstown Tunnel is a critical component of Austin’s wastewater collection system by collecting wastewater from most of north Austin for delivery to the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment and discharge. Due to submerged and pressurized pipe sections near the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Crosstown Tunnel experiences odorous air releases and potential for infrastructure deterioration due to the harsh conditions and corrosive gases in the wastewater environment. This project includes the construction of a centralized odor control facility to remove odorous and corrosive gases directly from the Crosstown Tunnel, treat these gases, and release the treated air into the atmosphere. The proposed system will consist of bio-trickling filter treatment units, blowers, reclaimed process water service, and associated electrical and controls infrastructure.

Fiscal Note Funding in the amount of $5,006,763 is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Prior Council Action: N/A. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 - To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: The roadway in this Advance Funding Agreement was identified as a transportation improvement project by TxDOT. Austin Water’s existing water and wastewater lines in conflict with the TxDOT transportation improvements are required to be relocated to accommodate the proposed improvements. This agreement will allow water and wastewater infrastructure capacity to be increased as a part of the relocation. Executing this Advanced Funding Agreement will bring together the efforts of TxDOT and Austin Water in the design and construction of the roadway improvement and utility adjustments to reduce impacts to the public and reduce cost.

Item 10 Water & Wastewater Commission: May 20, 2026 Council: May 28, 2026 Posting Language ..Title Recommend approval to authorize the negotiation and execution of an amendment to the interlocal agreement with Travis County to procure consultant services to update the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan, to increase the City’s share by $375,000 for a revised total City share amount not to exceed $1,025,000 over a five-year term. Funding: $350,000 is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Funding for the remaining term is contingent upon available funding in future budgets. ..De Lead Department Austin Water. Fiscal Note Funding of $350,000 is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Funding for the remaining term is contingent upon available funding in future budgets. Prior Council Action: October 24, 2024 – Council authorized negotiation and execution of an interlocal agreement with Travis County for procurement of consultant services to update the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan, with the City’s share not to exceed $650,000 over the five-year term. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: This action authorizes an amendment to the interlocal agreement (ILA) between the City of Austin and Travis County for consultant services related to the update and renewal of the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan (BCCP) Permit and Habitat Conservation Plan. The amendment is necessary because actual consultant contract costs exceed the estimate included in the original ILA as authorized by Council on October 24, 2024. That estimate was developed several years ago, and due to the extended time required for multi-agency coordination, procurement, and scope refinement, the final negotiated cost reflects current market conditions. Travis County has now determined, through procurement and negotiation, that the consultant cost is approximately $2,050,000, requiring the parties to revise their contributions to ensure the BCCP updates and permit renewal can be completed. This amendment will also update administrative provisions to support execution of the ILA over the agreement term. The parties will split the final costs of this contract equally. The BCCP provides a fast-track solution to habitat mitigation that supports compliance with the federal Endangered Species Act while also enabling continued economic growth and protection of endangered species habitat. It honors multiple community priorities by enabling the construction of roads, utilities, and buildings, while upholding a commitment to natural resources, …

Fiscal Note Funding is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water. Procurement Language: Contract Amendment. MBE / WBE: This contract was awarded in compliance with the City Code 2-9A (Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program). Current participation to date is 5.66% MBE and 0.84% WBE. Prior Council Action: August 27, 2020 – Council approved a professional service agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. for the Aquifer Storage and Recovery Pilot and Program Management project. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. August 21, 2020 – Reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission with Commissioners Penn and Turrieta recused and Commissioners Moriarty, Castleberry and Williams absent; no recommendation made due to lack of quorum. Additional Backup Information: This engineering services contract amendment will advance the City’s Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Program from broad regional screening to detailed field testing in the Trinity Aquifer on City-owned property in Travis County. This work will verify aquifer conditions, evaluate potential treatment requirements, and establish the scientific basis for a future small-scale pilot ASR project. ASR is one of several water supply strategies in the Water Forward Plan, Austin’s 100-year water plan. It is a proven water-supply strategy in which treated drinking water is stored in an underground aquifer when supplies are plentiful and later recovered during droughts, emergencies, or periods of high demand, functioning like a “water savings account.” Storing water underground protects supplies from evaporation, improves reliability in drought, reduces surface impacts, and provides a secure, resilient water source for the community. Item 11 Water & Wastewater Commission: May 20, 2026 Council: May 28, 2026 After extensive scientific study through a desktop analysis phase that began in 2022, Austin Water identified a portion of the Trinity Aquifer in Travis County as a location to conduct exploratory field testing for an ASR project.
