Client Department Austin Water Assistant Director of Environmental, Planning and Development Services, Kevin Critendon Fiscal Note Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: February 14, 2024 - To be reviewed by the Water & Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: The City of Austin owns and operates a reclaimed water system which takes highly treated wastewater effluent from its wastewater treatment plants and provides that water for non-potable uses to off-set potable water demand in the city. The City and Travis County propose to execute an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement regarding the construction of oversized reclaimed water mains to provide reclaimed water service to the Travis County Civil and Family Court (“TCCFC”) building at 1700 Guadalupe St. and the Travis County Probate Court (“TCPC”) building at 200 W. 8th St. Austin Water has existing reclaimed water mains within E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and W. 7th St., from which extensions will be made to serve TCCFC and TCPC. The City is proposing to oversize the reclaimed water mains in order to serve additional properties within the Central Service reclaimed water pressure zone consistent with the City’s long range planning goals for this area. If approved by City Council, the City will fund design, permitting, and construction of these projects and Travis County will reimburse the City over a specified period of time for its proportionate share of the oversized reclaimed water mains. The proposed oversized improvements include: • • Construction of approximately 2,750 feet of 16-inch reclaimed water main from the existing 12-inch reclaimed water main at E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and San Jacinto Blvd. and extend west along E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., south along San Antonio St., east along E. 18th St., and terminate near the Guadalupe St. intersection. Construction of approximately 850 feet of 12-inch reclaimed water main from the existing 12-inch reclaimed water main in W. 7th St., east along W. 7th St., north along Lavaca St., east along W. 8th St., and terminate near the Colorado St. intersection. Item 6 # 24-3932 Water & Wastewater Commission: February 14, 2024 Council: March 7, 2024 The preliminary cost estimate for design and construction of the proposed reclaimed water mains is anticipated to be approximately $4,400,000. Travis County will reimburse the City for their proportionate share of the actual construction costs. The City’s cost participation for its proportionate share of each project component will be as follows: • For costs of the 16-inch reclaimed water main (the minimum pipe diameter of 6-inches required to serve TCCFC to an oversized 16-inch) and appurtenances, the City’s maximum participation consists of an amount not to exceed 62.5% of the costs of the design, permitting, and construction of the 16-inch reclaimed water main and appurtenances • For costs of the 12-inch reclaimed water main (the minimum pipe diameter of 6-inches required to serve TCPC to an oversized 12-inch) and appurtenances, the City’s maximum participation consists of an amount not to exceed 50% of the costs of design, permitting, and construction of the 12-inch reclaimed water main and appurtenances The proposed project will conform to the City’s design criteria and construction standards and will follow the City’s standard bidding practices and procedures, including the minority-owned business enterprise procurement program found in Title 2 of the City Code, and Texas Local Government Code Chapters 212 and 252. The proposed project will be managed through Austin Water staff and is located in zip code 78701, in City Council District 9.
