MBE / WBE: Note: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code 2-9B (Minority-Owned and Women- Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program). Current participation to date is 21.23% MBE and 23.78% WBE. Prior Council Action: January 26, 2023 – Council approved a professional service agreement with CDM Smith, Inc. for the Center Street Pump Station Replacement and Electrical Improvements project. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: November 12, 2025 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission January 18, 2023 – Recommended by the Water and Wastewater Commission on a vote of 6-0 vote Commissioner Michel’s motion, Chair Lee’s second, with Commissioner Penn recusing, Commissioners Musgrove and Turrieta absent and two vacancies. Additional Backup Information: The Center Street Reservoir and Pump Station Facility is part of Austin Water’s water distribution system consisting of water storage facilities, pump stations, and water pipes. The Center Street Pump Station moves water from the Central Zone of the distribution system to the south portion of the Central Zone. The Center Street Reservoir and Pump Station Facility shares site access with an EMS station, a City of Austin fuel station, and Austin Water’s Electrical and Instrumentation & Control Maintenance shop. The existing pump station and electrical substation have exceeded their useful life and require replacement to meet current Austin Water standards. The project is currently in the design phase, where the consultant, CDM Smith, Inc., is designing a new pump station and making specific improvements to the site. Item 4 Water & Wastewater Commission: November 12, 2025 Council: November 20, 2025 The services to be provided under this amendment are for continued design and bid phase engineering services to support the construction contract. It is anticipated that the new facility will be located entirely within the existing fenced area. Once the construction of the new pump station and electrical substation is complete, the existing pump station and electrical substation will be decommissioned and demolished. There will be minimal impact to the public. All work will be located within the South Service Center site boundaries, which is City-owned property that is not open to the public. Delay or deferral of this contract will place an undue burden on the operations of the Center Street pump station and have a negative impact on the distribution system in South and Central Austin by harming infrastructure stability and increasing the maintenance needs of the facility. Much of the equipment being replaced under this project is obsolete and no longer supported by the equipment manufacturers.
