This amendment is required to approve construction phase engineering services for the McNeil Water Transmission Main Project which include design, bidding, construction, and warranty phases services. The McNeil Dr. transmission main is a part of the transmission investments identified in the 2021 Winter Storm Uri After Action Report and the 2022 Ullrich Upset Boil Water Notice and is a critical transmission piece of the Northwest A Pressure Zone. Additionally, the McNeil Dr. transmission main is a part of the Strategic Long Range Facility Plan. The project continues the critical transmission backbone in the Northwest A Pressure Zone from the Handcox Water Treatment Plant to both the Martin Hill Reservoir and the transfer into the North Pressure Zone at the Howard Lane facility. Transmission capacity is currently limited across the Northwest A Pressure Zone. This project is needed to extend the gravity flow from the Handcox Water Treatment Plant enabling full utilization of the plant capacity year-round to accommodate emergencies and future projects relying on increased water supply from the plant. This project will allow for better management of Jollyville storage and Spicewood Springs pumpage and provide added supply reliability to the system and to the customers along the Parmer Lane corridor. Item 5 Water & Wastewater Commission: May 21, 2025 Council: May 22, 2025 AUTHORIZATION HISTORY AMOUNT $3,800,000.00 $5,000,000.00 $8,800,000.00 DATE DESCRIPTION 09/20/2018 05/22/2025 Total Contract Authorization (Council) – preliminary, design and bid phase services (Council) – construction phase services CONTRACT HISTORY AMOUNT DATE DESCRIPTION 04/03/2019 05/12/2020 12/02/2021 $819,462.48 $227,768.23 $2,519,019.23 $4,723,765.27 $8,290,015.21 Total Contract History Initial Professional Services Agreement SA#1 Phase A - Additional Services SA#2 Phase B &C – Design and Bid Proposed SA#3 Phase D – Construction Services Item 5 Water & Wastewater Commission: May 21, 2025 Council: May 22, 2025 M/WBE Summary Participation goals stated in the original approved compliance plan for the agreement were 2.00% African American; 10.00% Hispanic; 6.00% Native Asian; 22.00% WBE.
