Water & Wastewater Commission Review and Recommendation COA Strategic Direction: Mobility Government That Works for All January 14, 2021 Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Purchasing January 27, 2021 Client: Danielle Lord Agenda Item Recommend approval to negotiate and execute a multi-term cooperative contract with IDSC Holdings LLC D/B/A Snap-On Industrial, for tools and fleet maintenance equipment, for up to 51 months in an amount not to exceed $1,607,500. Austin Water’s requested authorization is $85,000. Amount and Source of Funding Funding in the amount of $13,334 is available in the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Funding for the remaining contract term is contingent upon available funding in future budgets. Multiple cooperative purchase programs were reviewed for these goods. The Purchasing Office has determined this contractor best meets the needs of the departments to provide the goods required at the best value for the City. N/A January 14, 2021 — To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. This procurement was reviewed for subcontracting opportunities in accordance with City Code Chapter 2-9D Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program. For the goods required for this procurement, there were no subcontracting opportunities; therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The contract is for the purchase of Snap-On Industrial tools and fleet maintenance equipment. Some of the planned purchases include durable handheld and larger tools, wheel balancers, and tire machines. The Sourcewell Cooperative establishes competitively bid contracts that can be utilized by the State and other government agencies through a cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements save taxpayer dollars by leveraging the cooperative’s volume- buying power to drive down costs on hundreds of contracts through a streamlined cooperative purchasing program. This is a new contract for these products. The requested authorization amounts were determined using departmental estimates based on historical spend for similar products and predictions of future growth. If the City is unable to secure a contract, City service technicians may not have a reliable source for durable tools and fleet maintenance equipment, and departments will be forced to procure these products on an as needed basis, which may result in higher prices and higher operational costs. Contract Detail: Contract Term Initial Term Optional Extension 1 TOTAL Length of Term 39 mos. 12 mos. 51 mos.

Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: An allowance of $50,000 will provide for a geologist to address potential void Customers in the Highland Park area in the Northwest A pressure zone are currently supplied by a single 12-inch water main with no backfeed or redundancy. This undersized single-feed main causes inadequate fire flows and reduction of water supply/pressure throughout the area. Also, Highland Park reservoir and pump station have reached the end of their useful life and are undersized for the area. Highland Park reservoir hasn't been in use for years and the pump station is being used as an inline booster station which is not an approved pumping scenario per Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) standards. Construction of the proposed 16-in water main will allow Austin Water to take the Highland Park pump station and reservoir offline. The lack of a redundant transmission main is an increased risk for loss of water service. The most recent outage was in the summer of 2018 when the 12- inch main was hit by a contractor and water was cut off to the entire Highland Park neighborhood for approximately four hours. The Highland Park Water and Wastewater Improvements project will construct a 16-inch water main to provide adequate water supply and pressure into the Highland Park neighborhood and wastewater line replacements where needed along the water main alignment. …

Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The primary goal of the current Little Walnut Creek Flood Risk Reduction project is to eliminate the risk of interior flood inundation to as many structures as possible, to reduce the floodplain footprint, and to reduce bridge flooding to the maximum extent feasible within the project study area. This project intends to divert flood flows from the lower reaches of Little Walnut Creek just upstream of Quail Valley Boulevard to the Mearns Meadow detention pond within Quail Creek Park. A wastewater pipeline relocation study is a component of the project. An existing 24-inch concrete wastewater interceptor runs within the banks of Little Walnut Creek from Quail Creek Park to beyond Golden Meadow. Portions of this existing wastewater pipeline are exposed due to creek erosion and have been repaired within the past five years. The wastewater line relocations that are part of this project are consistent with future work to abandon and relocate the existing pipeline out of the creek banks in coordination with the City’s Environmental Resource Management Division’s future full stream restoration project of Little Walnut Creek. The work consists of flood risk reduction, stormwater treatment, water/wastewater pipeline replacement, street reconstruction and park improvements. Storm drain improvements will divert …
