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. Lead Department Financial Services Department Client Department Austin Water Interim Assistant Director of Operations, Mercedes Lopez-Garcia Fiscal Note Funding in the amount of $35,362 is available in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Funding for the remaining contract term is contingent upon available funding in future budgets. Purchasing Language: Sole Source. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: February 14, 2024 - To be reviewed by the Water & Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: The contract will provide the City with approved original equipment manufacturer (OEM) electrolytic cells and repair parts provided by the contractor. This will achieve microbial inactivation requirements specified in the United States Environmental Protection Agency drinking water regulations administered by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the more intensive City treatment goals. This is replacing a contract that will expire March 10, 2024. The requested authorization amount for this contract was determined using departmental estimates based on historical spending, along with a small annual increase to account for an increase in repairs due to aging equipment. The contractor is the sole manufacturer and supplier of the proprietary electrolytic cells. If the City is unable to secure a contract, proper maintenance and unscheduled repairs would not be accomplished, risking component failures. These failures will affect Austin Water Treatment Operations, limiting production of safe drinking water for the City.

Additional Backup Information: The City of Austin utilizes surface water resources from impoundments of the Colorado River for its potable water supply. Austin Water operates three existing Water Treatment Plants (WTPs), which are the Ullrich WTP, the Davis WTP and the Handcox WTP. The Ullrich WTP and Davis WTP draw water from Lake Austin and Handcox WTP draws water from Lake Travis. The Handcox Water Treatment Plant, located at 6800 RM 620 North, Austin, TX. 78732, was completed in 2014 and has a rated treatment capacity of 50 million gallons per day (MGD), in accordance with the operating permit issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Since Winter Storm Uri, Austin Water maintains a minimum available treatment capacity from all three water treatment plants at all times, which limits the ability to take equipment offline for regular maintenance. During the original construction of Handcox WTP, process redundancy was removed to reduce construction cost. This project will bring Handcox to the level of process redundancy at Ullrich and Davis WTPs. The contract will provide qualified professional engineering services for the planning, design, construction, and warranty phase services for the Handcox Water Treatment Plant Resiliency Item 5 # 23-3894 Water & Wastewater Commission: February 14, …
