Proper backfilling post-repairs is crucial for public safety and utility longevity, and a readily available, flexible road base is essential for safe and effective backfilling after infrastructure repairs. Failure to secure these materials could lead to utility failures. The contract replaces a contract expiring March 31, 2025.

If a contract is not secured, vital maintenance and repairs would be compromised, risking Austin Water's infrastructure integrity.
