The Hornsby Bend facility was established in the 1950’s and uses a series of stabilization ponds to treat wastewater sludge from the City’s wastewater plants. The treated sludge is recycled into a stable organic compost marketed under the trade name "Dillo Dirt™" that can be used safely as a fertilizer for City park facilities and sold to the general public as a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-certified soil conditioner.  Item 4 Water & Wastewater Commission: July 16, 2025 Council: July 24, 2025 This item includes five allowances: • An allowance of $50,000 for structural steel corrosion repair. • An allowance of $10,000 for concrete removal. • An allowance of $10,000 for piping removal. • An allowance of $150,000 for building security improvements. • An allowance of $50,000 for the Greater Austin Area Telecommunications Network security network testing and duct bank. An allowance is an amount that is specified and included in the construction contract or specifications for certain items of work when details are not determined at the time of bidding. This contract will include award of an alternate bid item for added dewatering capacity and resiliency. An alternate bid is a specified item of the construction work that is priced separately and may be awarded as part of the contract, if the bids come within the specified budget. Due to the potential for unforeseen conditions during construction, 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. There are no impacts to public use because all work will be on City property that is not open to the public. Delay of approval may result in future flooding of compost pads, impacting compost production. Future and costly building replacement or repair may also result. The contract allows 790 calendar days for the completion of this project. This project is located within zip code 78725, within the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. City of Austin Council Meeting Backup: July 24, 2025 W/WW Commission July 16, 2025 Hornsby Bend Dewatering Facility and East Stormwater Station Improvements Project Map File ID: 25-1232 Item 04 CIP ID 3164.098 Page 1 of 1 City of Austin Council Meeting Backup: July 24, 2025 Item 04 W/WW Commission July 16, 2025 File ID: 25-1232 MBE/WBE Summary Public notice was given for this solicitation CLMC 1104, Hornsby Bend Dewatering Facility and East Stormwater Station Improvements, through the City’s Financial Services website.
