Additional Backup Information: The Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant and Bird Observatory is located on a 1200-acre site that stretches along three and half miles of the Colorado River, approximately eight miles east of downtown Austin. The plant has grown into a nationally recognized and award-winning biosolids recycling facility and previously the recipient of a first-place award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its recycling program. The plant was established in the 1950’s and receives and treats biosolids generated by Austin’s two regional wastewater treatment plants. The treatment process includes thickening, anerobic digestion, dewatering, composting, effluent ponds, and on-site irrigation. The treated sludge is recycled into a stable organic product 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 an EPA-certified soil conditioner. The Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant headworks contains a screening process, which is the first step in the biosolid's treatment process. The existing headwork’s equipment has limited capacity and has exceeded its useful service life. The purpose of this project is to replace the headworks facility entirely and add a new sludge receiving station. The new headworks will increase screening capacity, provide odor control, replace the existing screens which are at the end of their useful life and the critical electrical infrastructure.  Item 8 Water & Wastewater Commission: November 10, 2026 Council: November 19, 2026 This item includes thirteen allowances: • An allowance of $50,000 will be used to address Soil and/or Groundwater Contamination. • An allowance of $300,000 will be used to address Portable Generators and Docking Station. • An allowance of $20,000 will be used to address Co-Generation Building Hoist Replacement. • An allowance of $300,000 will be used to address Security System. • An allowance of $5,000 will be used to address Site Access (Security Badges). • An allowance of $20,000 will be used to address MS-1 Maintenance. • An allowance of $50,000 will be used to address Section 17600 PLC Training. • An allowance of $20,000 will be used to address Section 17620 Ethernet Switches. • An allowance of $50,000 will be used to address Section 17620 Communication Equipment Training. • An allowance of $15,000 will be used to address Section 17640 Workstations & Computers. • An allowance of $5,000 will be used to address Delivery Signage. • An allowance of $50,000 will be used to address FEB LD Panels. • An allowance of $1,000,000 will be used to address Modify Temporary Thickening System.
