Funding was available in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Amount and Source of Funding Purchasing Language: Ratification N/A Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: April 13, 2022 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. This contract is exempt from the City Code Chapter 2-9C Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program; therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. The contract provided a new turbine drive unit and installation to be utilized by Austin Water for the operation of the Upflow Clarifier (UFC) No. 1 at the Ullrich Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The turbine drive units in the upflow clarifiers drive a large diameter turbine that promotes mixing, flocculation, and solids contact with influent raw water as part of the drinking water treatment process. The new turbine drive unit replaces an existing one to allow for the operation of UFC No. 1, restoring full production capacity to Ullrich WTP.
Water & Wastewater Commission Review and Recommendation Safety COA Strategic Direction: April 13, 2022 Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Financial Services Department Rick Coronado May 5, 2022 Client: Agenda Item Ratify a contract with Texas Excavation Safety System Inc. to provide utility location services, in the amount of $105,854. Funding was available in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Amount and Source of Funding Purchasing Language: Ratification N/A Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: April 13, 2022 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. This contract is exempt from the City Code Chapter 2-9C Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program; therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. The contract with Texas Excavation Safety System Inc. is required by the State of Texas Utilities Code, Title 5, Chapter 251 and requires the City contact Texas Excavation Safety System Inc. before digging can start in order to locate and mark pipe locations in right of ways for entities that will be excavated. The increase in usage is due to surges in average monthly tickets and cost per ticket increases from $0.26 to $0.50. Additionally, pipe breaks and damages sustained during Winter Storm Uri, the increase in construction within the growing city, and switching water meters from the standard meters over to the new water meters contributed to the overspend of the contract.

To: From: Date: Subject: Zero Waste Advisory Commission Ken Snipes Director Austin Resource Recovery April 13th, 2022 Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission Austin Resource Recovery Annual Report Austin Resource Recovery (ARR), a department of the City of Austin, has released its Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Report. From facility closures and service suspensions to environmental equity and weekly curbside collections, the report details the extensive work ARR accomplished while continuing to navigate COVID-19 and enduring Winter Storm Uri. "Despite the challenges that accompanied the global COVID-19 pandemic – a national shortage of truck drivers, multiple service delays and suspensions, unforeseen expenses, and the aftermath of winter Storm Uri – we have managed to adapt and find innovative ways to provide essential services and programs that prioritize people and our planet. I am proud to highlight these accomplishments with this year’s annual report," ARR Director Ken Snipes said. Some highlights include: ARR collected 63,030 tons of recycling, 53,455 tons of compost and 138,955 tons of trash through curbside collections from 209,981 single-family homes and multifamily properties with four units or fewer. 987 tons of household hazardous waste and 1,323 tons of other hard-to-recycle material were collected. 222 tons of household hazardous waste were recycled or reused and 33 tons of ReBlend Paint were produced from unwanted paint customers dropped off. ARR managed the debris cleanup from Winter Storm Uri, resulting in the collection of over 1,700 tons of large brush material through 518 special service requests placed by customers. ARR also experienced significant increases in the amount of material collected through the curbside composting program (which collects food scraps and residential yard trimmings) during the month of March, with an approximately 60% increase of tonnages collected, compared to March 2020. The diversion rate at the end of fiscal year 2021 was 41.96%. The City of Austin is committed to a zero waste goal to reduce the amount of trash sent to landfills by 90% by the year 2040. Earth Day 2022 Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) is celebrating Earth Day 2022. This year, we are focused on getting batteries out of the blue carts and collected for proper recycling. Improper handling of batteries is a safety concern and has been expressed as a priority by our material recovery facilities. This year's campaign includes an engaging direct mail piece to all ARR residential customers with education on how to properly …
