Recommendation for Water & Wastewater Commission Commission Meeting Date: January 8, 2020 Council Meeting Date: January 23, 2020 Department: Public Works Client: Thomas Corner, Joe Hoepken, Matt Cullen, Bill Stauber, Anthony Hall SUBJECT Authorize award and execution of a construction contract with Smith Contracting Co., Inc., for Howard Lane Water Main Extension in the amount of $1,057,821.75 plus a $105,782.18 contingency, for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,163,603.93. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Purchasing Language: Lowest responsive bid of four bids received through a competitive Invitation for Bid solicitation. Prior Council Action: N/A Boards and Commission Action: To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission on January 8, 2020. MBE/WBE: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code Chapter 2-9A (Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program) by meeting the goals with 8.79% MBE and 1.99% WBE participation. The existing water infrastructure in Howard Lane currently has a gap, preventing service to the property lots developing between Gregg Lane and Harris Branch Parkway. Based on the area’s designation as a Desired Development Zone (DDZ), Austin Water has determined that the existing line requires an extension to connect into the existing system to provide service to the new developing lots as well as link up the two existing systems to provide continuous and reliable water service. The Howard Lane Water Main Extension project consists of the installation an extension of a 16-inch water main along Howard Lane from Gregg Lane to Harris Branch Parkway. This extension will be approximately 3,523 linear feet and connect to existing installations. This project will fix a crucial gap in the water distribution system in the Northeast corner of Austin Water’s service area and DDZ. The project is contained within Travis County right-of-way with the exception of its terminus at the intersection of Howard Lane and Harris Branch Parkway which is in City of Austin right-of-way. Permit approval for full roadway closure of Gregg Lane from the Travis County Commissioner’s Court was granted on August 6, 2019. Impact to the public will be single travel and bike lane closures on Howard Lane during the installation of the 16-inch water line. Existing water and wastewater services will be kept in continuous operation with no interruptions anticipated throughout the construction duration. A delay in approving this contract will …
Recommendation for Water & Wastewater Commission Commission Meeting Date: January 8, 2020 Council Meeting Date: January 23, 2020 Department: Public Works Client: Charles Celauro, Bill Stauber, Nicholas Sybille SUBJECT Authorize award and execution of a construction contract with Matous Construction, Ltd., for Ullrich Water Treatment Plant Lime Feed Loop in the amount of $11,474,000 plus a $1,147,400 contingency, for a total contract amount not to exceed $12,621,400. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Purchasing Language: Lowest responsive bid of one bid received through a competitive Invitation for Bid solicitation. Prior Council Action: N/A Boards and Commission Action: To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission on January 8, 2020. MBE/WBE: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code Chapter 2-9A (Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program) through the achievements of Good Faith Efforts with 24.16% MBE and 5.68% WBE participation. The Ullrich Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Lime Feed Loop system softens and helps coagulate the source water taken from Lake Austin. The treatment process cannot occur without it. The lime system at the Ullrich WTP consists of five lime feed systems which include powdered lime storage silos, lime slurry slakers, grit removal systems, slurry aging tanks, and lime slurry feed pumps. The Ullrich Lime Feed System processes lime powder that contains 10% to 15% volume of abrasive minerals called “grit”, which wear on lime system components and equipment. Grit classifiers, placed directly after the slakers, remove significant quantities of the grit from the slurry suspension, which helps protect the downstream equipment. The current grit classifier system is outdated and needs to be upgraded to allow for more efficient grit removal to protect equipment and piping. The new Lime Feed Loop system will limit scaling in plant piping, remove more grit, and further automate the lime feed process. The improvements being proposed include changing the lime slurry distribution system from pumping one way into a single up-flow clarifier (UFC) to using a constantly circulating lime slurry feed loop, which feeds all four UFCs at once. By keeping the lime slurry in constant motion, it doesn’t settle out of suspension, scale, and require frequent cleaning. In addition, the loop system will carry lime slurry repeatedly through the grit classifier units, so that additional grit is removed on every pass. The Handcox Water Treatment Plant …
Recommendation for Water & Wastewater Commission Commission Meeting Date: January 8, 2020 Council Meeting Date: January 23, 2020 Department: Capital Contracting Office Client: Charles Celauro, Bill Stauber, Nick Sybille SUBJECT Authorize negotiation and execution of a professional services agreement with CDM Smith Inc., (staff recommendation) or one of the other qualified responders for Request for Qualifications Solicitation No. CLMP280 to provide engineering services for Ullrich Water Treatment Plant Conversion (OSGSH) in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Purchasing Language: Staff recommendation is the most qualified firm out of four firms evaluated through the City’s qualification-based selection process. Prior Council Action: N/A Boards and Commission Action: To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission on January 8, 2020. MBE/WBE: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code Chapter 2-9B (Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program) by meeting the goals with 15.80% MBE and 15.80% WBE participation. The City operates three major water treatment plants (WTPs): Ullrich WTP, Davis WTP and Handcox WTP. The Ullrich WTP has a firm treatment capacity of 167 million gallons per day and utilizes chloramine for disinfection. The chloramine process requires the combined use of a chlorine system and an ammonia system. Although the City has successfully and safely used chlorine throughout its various treatment facilities for more than 80 years, the City desires to incorporate inherently safer technologies when available and where feasible. The City recently completed Preliminary Engineering to evaluate the options available to improve the Ullrich WTP disinfection system. The selected firm will develop the recommended option in the Preliminary Engineering Report to convert the existing chlorine system to an onsite generation of sodium hypochlorite (OSGSH) process and to also convert the existing ammonia system to liquid ammonia sulfate (LAS). The recommended option will maximize repurposing and reuse of existing facilities, structures and processes, where practical. The selected firm will perform engineering design and develop construction documents for the recommended option. All work will occur on city property and this project will be designed to avoid negatively impacting plant production. If this item is not approved, Ullrich WTP will continue to disinfect water with gaseous chlorine and ammonia. The project will be managed by Public Works Department. This authorization provides for funding of the above listed services. This request allows …
Recommendation for Water & Wastewater Commission Commission Meeting Date: January 8, 2020 Council Meeting Date: January 23, 2020 Department: Public Works Client: Charles Celauro, Bill Stauber, Gabriel Castano SUBJECT Authorize award and execution of a construction contract with PLW Waterworks, LLC, for the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Thickener Rehabilitation project in the amount of $9,155,900 plus a $915,590 contingency, for a total contract amount not to exceed $10,071,490. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Purchasing Language: Lowest responsive bid of four bids received through a competitive Invitation for Bid solicitation. Prior Council Action: N/A Boards and Commission Action: To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission on January 8, 2020. MBE/WBE: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code Chapter 2-9A (Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program) by meeting the goals with 33.15% MBE and 0.72% WBE participation. The Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is permitted to treat and discharge an average daily flow of 75 million gallons per day (MGD) with a peak flow of 165 MGD. The plant currently averages between approximately 60 MGD with peaking flows in excess of 165 MGD during large rain events. The Walnut Creek WWTP has faced increased difficulty in maintaining a reliable thickening process and delivering thickened sludge to the Hornsby Bend Bio Solids Management Plant. The existing gravity sludge thickener and equipment was constructed in 1977 and is in very poor condition and beyond useful life. Replacement of the existing gravity sludge thickener and the equipment is necessary to restore reliability to the thickening process. The work consists of demolition and rehabilitation of the existing gravity sludge thickener internal mechanism and associated components, complete demolition and replacement of the existing thickened sludge pumps, construction of a new electrical building, replacement of existing yard piping, pump station piping, valves, ventilation and odor control, controls and instrumentation, electrical, temporary thickening equipment, and other miscellaneous items. This item includes two allowances. The allowance of $50,000 will be used for crack injection and/or thickener tank repairs. The allowance of $100,000 will be used to address potential unforeseen pipe alignment adjustments. An allowance is an amount that is specified and included in the construction contract or specifications for a certain item(s) of work whose details are not yet determined at the time of bidding.

Recommendation for Water & Wastewater Commission Commission Meeting Date: January 8, 2020 Council Meeting Date: January 23, 2020 Department: Public Works Client: Kevin Koeller, Bill Stauber, Tony Lopez SUBJECT Authorize award and execution of a construction contract with Facilities Rehabilitation, Inc. (MBE), for Wastewater Collection System Replacement Lines - North in the amount of $4,373,958 plus a $437,395.80 contingency, for a total contract amount not to exceed $4,811,353.80. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Purchasing Language: Lowest responsive bid of four bids received through a competitive Invitation for Bid solicitation. Prior Council Action: N/A Boards and Commission Action: To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission on January 8, 2020. MBE/WBE: This contract will be awarded in compliance with City Code Chapter 2-9A (Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program) by meeting the goals with 2.74% MBE and 0.80% WBE participation. The project contains seven locations in the City of Austin identified for wastewater infrastructure replacement through TV inspection and a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES) of low performing basins. The wastewater lines in each of these locations are over 300 linear feet in length and required production of design documents and permit approval issued by the City’s Development Services Department. These locations were selected based upon a ranking system which includes condition of pipe, location, Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) count, SSO volume, and Inflow and Infiltration (I&I). The wastewater collection system is essential for transporting wastewater to the treatment plants. Due to growth in Austin and deterioration from the harsh wastewater environment, existing collection system assets require repair and replacement. Austin Water’s wastewater collection system is a large and complex system, consisting of approximately 2,900 miles of wastewater line and serves approximately 1 million customers. This project is for the repair and replacement of nearly 7600 linear feet of deteriorated wastewater mains and accessories. The work requires some lane closures and detours at residential locations, but traffic control will provide for continuous access and effective traffic flow. The Darlington location will have a flagging operation due to more restricted traffic flow but will be open during non-working hours. Marathon Alley will close one block at a time, but residences have access though the front of their lots. The Riverside location will have detours during the boring operation and nightly closures afterward. This construction contract …
