Prior Council Action: N/A Boards and Commission Action: February 5, 2020 – To be reviewed by the Water & Wastewater Commission. MBE/WBE: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code Chapter 2- 9A (Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program) by meeting the goals with 30.96% MBE and 1.66% WBE participation. Originally constructed in 1913, the North Austin Reservoir at 5802 North Lamar Blvd, is one of the oldest water facilities in Austin’s water distribution system. Over the years the facility sites, such as the existing 10 million-gallon (MG) reservoir, on-site pump station, and the booster pump station, located across Koenig Ln, have undergone several renovations, including construction and overhaul of the pumping facilities. During a 2011 condition assessment and reservoir evaluation, it was determined that the reservoir and pump station have greatly exceeded their expected useful life. Many of the critical mechanical, electrical, and structural assets at the North Austin Reservoir and Pump Stations were identified to be in poor to very poor condition. Austin Water intends to decommission the existing water reservoir and pump stations and construct a new North Zone pump station and ground storage reservoir on the existing reservoir site. The new facility will include a new ground storage tank and a Central Zone to North Zone pump station designed to current industry and utility standards. The work includes demolition of the existing 10-MG ground storage reservoir, concrete vaults and piping; and construction of an 8-MG concrete tank and new 50- million gallons per day (MGD) capacity pump station and new pump station electrical building. Electrical and instrumentation work includes a new SCADA system with top end programming and modifications, audio tower/monopole design installation, access control and security system. Other work includes lead and asbestos abatement; site grading and asphalt paving, storm sewer and water quality facilities, landscaping, and miscellaneous related work. This item includes four allowances. The allowance of $200,000 will be used to for site improvements. The allowance of $200,000 will be used for radio and telemetry systems improvements. The allowance of $100,000 will be used to address access control and security systems. The allowance of $150,000 will be used for SCADA top end programming and modifications. An allowance is an amount that is specified and included in the construction contract or specifications for a certain item(s) of work whose details are not yet determined at the time of bidding. A delay executing this contract could increase operations and maintenance expenditures should additional interim maintenance be required. Due to the potential for unknown conditions when working in an operating facility, a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders. A contingency is an additional amount of money added to the construction budget to cover any unforeseen construction costs associated with the project. The contract allows 872 calendar days for final completion. This project is located within zip code 78752 (District 7). The project will be managed by Public Works.
