Additional Backup Information: The Waller Creek Center was originally built in 1984 and has had no renovations since its original construction. The building has outdated infrastructure that has been abandoned in place, causing difficulty upgrading the facility to modern standards. This project represents the first phase of renovations, beginning with the lobby and the 10th floor. The lobby is unsecured, and the waiting area does not meet Austin Water security standards or operational efficiency needs. The 10th floor was previously used as a server room by the Communications and Technology Management department, the server equipment has been removed, and this project will remove old server infrastructure and return the 10th floor to office space which will be occupied by Austin Water Business Services staff. This project is expected to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver rating. LEED Certification is a green building certification program administered by the U.S. Green Building Council that signifies that a building or project has met specific criteria for environmental performance, occupant health, and resource efficiency. Item 5 Water & Wastewater Commission: July 16, 2025 Council: July 24, 2025 The project will have minimal impact on the public’s use of the property. Public access to be building will be redirected to the building’s rear entrance while the lobby is under construction. Work on the 10th floor will not affect public access, as that area is not open to the public. Delay of this contract would prolong the needed updates needed to Waller Creek Center. The contract allows 425 calendar days for completion of this project. This project is located within zip code 78701 (District 9). City of Austin Council Meeting Backup: July 24, 2025 W/WW Commission July 16, 2025 WWaller Creek Center 10th Floor & Atrium Renovation Project Map File ID: 25-1233 Item 05 CIP ID 3257.01 Project Site Project Site Page 1 of 1 City of Austin Council Meeting Backup: July 24, 2025 Item 05 W/WW Commission July 16, 2025 File ID: 25-1233 M/WBE Summary Public notice was given for this solicitation, CLMC1081 for the Waller Creek Center 10th Floor & Atrium Renovation project, through the City’s Financial Services website.
