Additional Backup Information The South Austin Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SAR WWTP) is currently permitted to treat 75 million gallons a day (MGD) of wastewater. The first treatment train, Train A, was constructed between 1984 and 1986. Treatment Train B and the tertiary filtration process were constructed between 1986 and 1988. The treatment plant was expanded to 75 MGD capacity with the construction of treatment Train C in 2005. The plant receives wastewater flow from Austin Water’s sanitary sewer collection system and treats it before returning it to the Colorado River. SAR WWTP is also a key Item 5 # 22-3168 Water & Wastewater Commission: October 12, 2022 Council: October 27, 2022 facility in meeting Austin’s reclaimed water needs for non-potable water such as irrigation and cooling towers. Train A and B at the SAR WWTP make up a large portion of the plant’s treatment capacity. Due to the age and condition of the assets, rehabilitation or replacement of equipment and structures is required to extend the service life of the major treatment units. The project includes improvements to primary clarifiers, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, chlorine contact basins, and various other treatment equipment and assets including slide gates, piping, and pumps. New electrical and controls infrastructure will also be installed to support the rehabilitated treatment units and improve resiliency. An amendment to the professional services agreement is required to move the project forward into construction phase. This amendment will authorize construction phase services to be provided by the engineering consultant. Delay or deferral of this contract will place an undue burden on City operations crews, will have a negative effect on infrastructure stability, and increase additional maintenance work. This amendment is pending review by the City’s Change Control Committee. The Change Control Committee was established to comply with Council Resolution No. 20120126-048, which required the establishment of consistent criteria and process to evaluate contractual changes for all contracts administered by the Financial Services Department, Capital Contracting. The Change Control Committee is comprised of management-level subject matter experts. This project is located within zip code 78617 (District 2). The project is managed by the Public Works Department. CP&Y, Inc. is located in Austin, Texas.
