Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action August 10, 2022 - To be reviewed by the Water & Wastewater Commission Additional Backup Information The Govalle Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was constructed in 1937 and was, at the time, the first WWTP in Austin to utilize the sludge process for wastewater treatment. The plant was in operation for 69 years and was decommissioned in 2006 when wastewater flows were diverted to the South Austin Regional WWTP. Currently, Austin Water uses the site for training, office space, and maintenance activities. The scope of this project is to construct new grinder pumps to collect domestic wastewater flows from the restrooms at the Govalle Administrative and Maintenance buildings and convey the flows to the centralized wastewater collection system on Linger Lane. The existing domestic wastewater collection system will be abandoned and decommissioned. This project will enable Austin Water staff to continue to utilize the office and training facilities at the Govalle WWTP. This item includes one allowance. The allowance of $25,000 will be used to address any contaminated soil and/or water at the site. 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.  Item 6 # 22-2631 Water &Wastewater Commission: August 10, 2022 Council: September 1, 2022 Due to the potential for unforeseen issues that may arise during construction, a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders.

All construction work will be completed on City property that is not open to the public. Delay or deferral of this contract will have a negative effect on infrastructure stability and increase maintenance cost. The contract allows 210 calendar days for completion of this project.
