MBE / WBE: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code Chapter 2-9A (Minority-Owned and Women- Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program) through the achievements of Good Faith Efforts with 0.00% MBE and 0.08% WBE participation. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: March 12, 2025 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater. Additional Backup Information: The Boggy Creek Lift Station Force Main Extension to the Govalle tunnel will consist of three different portions of construction: the replacement of 1,700 linear feet of existing 36-inch concrete-steel-cylinder force main located in the Govalle plant property; new construction of 1,900 linear feet of force main crossing under the Colorado River using horizontal directional drilling; and 5,700 linear feet of new High-density polyethylene (HDPE) force main from Hergotz Lane to the Lockheed shaft. The overall project length is 9,300 linear feet of 36-inch HDPE pipe. This project will abandon and replace the existing siphons under the Colorado River that are in poor condition. The construction of this force main will allow the abandonment of two siphons and the South Austin Regional Transfer Lift Station, located on the southern bank of the Colorado River and has a history of maintenance issues. During peak wet weather events, the current capacity of the existing downstream Boggy Creek Lift Station cannot adequately convey wastewater flows, causing multiple sanitary overflows into the Govalle Wastewater Treatment Plant site and the collection system upstream of the lift station. The project will reduce the possibility of overflow due to high inflow and infiltration during peak wet weather events. The construction of this force main enhancement project will convey sanitary sewer flows from Boggy Creek Lift Station directly to the Govalle Tunnel. Due to the potential for unforeseen conditions during the construction phase, a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders to cover any unforeseen construction costs associated with the project. Item 5 Water & Wastewater Commission: March 12, 2025 Council: March 27, 2025 The project will require temporary lane closures and/or detours. The contractor will install appropriate traffic detour signs and barricades to direct traffic. The contractor will work to ensure that residents and businesses always have access to their driveways. If access cannot be maintained, written notice of limited access will be provided to the affected property owner(s) at least 24 hours in advance. If this RCA is not approved, the wastewater system will be at risk for sanitary sewer overflows during wet weather events creating a risk to public health and safety. The contract allows 549 calendar days for completion of this project. This project is located within zip codes 78721 and 78725 (District 3).
