Water & Wastewater Commission Review and Recommendation July 15, 2020 Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Capital Contracting Office July 30, 2020 Safety COA Strategic Direction: Client: Tiger Davis, Gareth Nicely, Shay Roalson, Micheal Singleton Agenda Item Recommend approval to award and execute a construction contract with Westar Construction, Inc., for the Glenlake Pump Station Bypass Improvements project in the amount of $672,760.50 plus a $67,276.05 contingency, for a total contract amount not to exceed $740,036.55. (Districts 6, 10). Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Amount and Source of Funding Lowest responsive bid of four bids received through a competitive Invitation for Bid solicitation N/A July 15, 2020 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. 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 11.12% MBE and 27.44% WBE participation. Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: Glenlake MUD was acquired by the City of Austin and the current facility does not meet Austin Water standards. Austin Water has determined that a new connection with the River Place System will allow this site to be decommissioned. The project consists of the construction of a ductile iron water main connecting two different water pressure zones to provide redundant water service to the area. Currently, sixteen residents receive water from the pump station. A back loop to this area provides flow to those residents and backup flow to the other residents downstream. Flow meters are proposed as part of the Austin Water’s leak detection program. Instrumentation, supervisory control and data acquisition, and appurtenances are proposed to provide automatic digital data transmission to Austin Water Central Command Station to help quickly identify unusual high-water demand which indicate potential breaks. The existing water tanks and pump house will be decommissioned and removed from the property. This project is primarily in the City of Austin right-of-way. During construction, detours are proposed for lane and intersection closures. Delaying execution of this contract would prolong use of aged or substandard facilities and could result in the disruption of water service to the residents. Due to the potential for unknown subsurface conditions, 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 280 calendar days for completion of this project. This project is located within zip code 78730 (Districts 6 and 10). Westar Construction, Inc. is located in Georgetown, TX.
