Additional Backup Information: Tree Folks, Inc., is a Texas non-profit corporation that empowers Central Texans to strengthen the community by planting and caring for trees. Their planting program engages over 950 volunteers yearly to plant trees in parks and public places, distributes nearly 6,000 5-gallon native and native- adapted trees to Austin residents annually, and works with economically disadvantaged residents, reaching approximately 2,500 lower-income residents with free trees each year. Since 2002, Tree Folks has officed out of 10803 Platt Lane, Austin, Texas, located within the City’s 2- mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. Originally a residential home, it is now used as the operation center and primary office for the public purpose of promoting tree planting, tree education, and urban forest- related community partnerships. The facility is a part of Austin Water’s capital improvement budget and long-range plan. This renovation with Jamail & Smith will address the current aging systems (roof, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, etc.) and allow expansion on the site (a covered parking structure and multiple greenhouses) that will assist Tree Folks with expanding their program and services.  Item 7 # 24-4898 Water & Wastewater Commission: July 17, 2024 Council: July 18, 2024 The Tree Folks Central Texas Floodplain Reforestation Program annually restores approximately 50 acres of degraded floodplain on private and public land-generating Carbon+ and City Forest Credits. The Tree Folks education program reaches about 1,500 community members annually through various experiential learning events, tree identification hikes, online learning tools, and an advanced ecological workshop series. Tree Folks’ greenhouse operation, referred to as “Seeds to Trees,” will produce approximately 220,000 saplings and up to 13,000 5-gallon potted trees over the next five years. Tree Folks’ work fulfills the urban forest and tree canopy goals of the Austin Climate Equity Plan. Tree Folks contributes to the City’s SD23 Health and Environment outcome by focusing on access to quality greenspace, environmental quality, and climate resilience. It contributes to food security by planting nut and fruit-bearing trees. According to state statute, the City must obtain approval from the Council for any individual job order assignment that exceeds $500,000. This request is for the Council’s authorization to negotiate and execute one Job Order Assignment from the Job Order Contract program for an amount not exceeding $1,293,599.00, including contingency. Job Order Contracting is a highly responsive contracting method that allows for services where the work is for indefinite time and indefinite quantities and where job order assignments are awarded substantially based on pre-described and pre-priced tasks. Work may consist of facility maintenance, repair, alteration, renovation, remediation, or minor construction of City facilities.
