Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: October 15, 2025 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: This project is a 2021 Winter Storm Uri After Action Report recommendation. The proposed Pilot Knob Supply Water Transmission Main project will provide greater ability to serve Southeast Austin and supply water to the Pilot Knob Reservoir and Pump Station. With increasing projected growth in both the Central and South Pressure Zones, the ability to provide additional transmission capacity to the Pilot Knob Reservoir is needed to provide reliable service to Austin’s southeast service area. The Pilot Knob Supply Water Transmission Main project will install approximately 76,000 linear feet of water transmission main from a water transmission main north of the Colorado River near Longhorn Dam to the Pilot Knob Reservoir. A routing study will be performed to determine the project alignment. Construction of the transmission main may require lane closures or traffic detours, impacting public transportation. Any necessary water service outages will be communicated to allow customers sufficient notice and time to prepare. These outages are expected to be minimal in number and duration. Delay or deferral of this contract will impact Austin Water’s ability to provide water distribution to new development in the service area, will have a negative effect on infrastructure resilience and stability, and increase operational risk. This request allows for the development of an agreement with the selected firm. If the City is unsuccessful in negotiating a satisfactory agreement with the selected firm, negotiations will cease with that firm. Staff will return to Council so another qualified firm may be selected, authorizing new contract negotiations. This project is located within Districts 2 and 3. City of Austin Council Meeting Backup: October 23, 2025 1308129737TH71BURLESON183ELROYPEARCE969BEN WHITE5THROSSOLTORFPLATT1625BASTROPAIRPORTFINIALWILLIAM CANNONGROVEMETROPOLISHOTELKARA3RDBAINEDWINSERVICEEMMA BROWNINGSPIRITTESLAGOLFCOURSELYNNRAMIREZMCKINNEY FALLSCIRCUIT OF THE AMERICASANISEPLEASANT VALLEYSTASSNEYSHAWBESTRIDEFINCHERDIMECLUBAPPERSONMC ANGUSELLONJACEYSHERMANTOWERYLOWERLINGERANKENLOGISTICSNORWOODHESTERLYLETHAXTON130130973130Water Needs¯01234MilesProject Location: 6935.005 - Pilot Knob Supply Water Transmission MainFile ID: 25-1993WAYMAKER WAYWESTLAKEDRWESTLAKE DRPLAZA ON THELAKEAirport BlvdSpringdale RdMLK Jr. BlvdManor RdE.7th St71171290130WHITEROCKDR36035183183WHITE ROCKDR35Project Limits71130130130717171183183183 Item 2 Water & Wastewater Commission: October 15, 2025 Council: October 23, 2025 M/WBE Summary Participation subgoals stated in the solicitation were 1.62% African American; 3.98% Hispanic; 3.31% Native/Asian American; 2.76% WBE.
