Additional Backup Information:
This project will include improvements to a lift station identified in the Northwest Lift Station Long Range Planning Engineering Study to improve the wastewater system in Bull Creek wastewater basin. The lift station was built in 1998 as a wet well duplex station and requires rehabilitation to extend its useful life, ensuring the lift station operates in good working order and minimize ongoing maintenance costs.
This project consists of rehabilitating an existing lift station to provide reliable service. The rehabilitated lift station design includes wet well coatings, valves, pumps, odor control equipment, electrical, communication, emergency generator, and resilience improvements to meet current City standards. Construction of these improvements will allow Austin Water to continue providing wastewater services to the increasing population in the area, as well as reducing noxious odors impacting the community.
Due to the potential for unknown subsurface conditions a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders to cover any unforeseen construction costs associated with the project. By authorizing the additional contingency funding, Council is authorizing any change orders within the contingency amount.
The work will occur on City-owned property, with no impact to the public.
A delay in contract approval could impact the stability of Austin’s wastewater collection systems.
The contract allows 340 calendar days for completion of this project.
This project is located within zip code 78730 (District 10).
