Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract with Austin Underground, Inc. for the Gattis School Road Wastewater Improvements Project.
Body
In January 2017, the City involuntarily annexed several properties along the south side of Gattis School Road from future Kenney Fort Boulevard to Via Sonoma Trail. These properties are not presently served by City wastewater. Based on the annexation requirements, the City is required to provide utility service to these properties within 2 ½ years of annexation. At the time of annexation, a concept route for providing wastewater service was developed.
On May 10, 2018, City Council awarded a professional engineering services agreement with DCS Engineering, LLC, for design of approximately 575 linear feet of 10-inch and 2,940 linear feet of 8-inch wastewater main along the proposed route to serve the annexed properties. In addition, 150 linear feet of 12-inch waterline extension will be provided to bring water from the north side of Gattis School Road to the south side of Gattis School Road.
On November 29, 2018, eleven bids were submitted and the lowest bid in the amount of $665,357 was submitted by Austin Underground, Inc.
Cost: $665,357
