Authorize an amendment to the scope of the contract with JE Dunn/Turner, a joint venture, for the Austin Convention Center Redevelopment and Expansion Project (the Expansion Project) to include delivery of an Austin Energy district chilling plant, infrastructure upgrades and modifications for Capital Metro and Austin Water, improvements to the adjacent right-of-way, and other planned construction activities for the Expansion Project. The chilling plant and right-of-way improvements are not part of the Expansion Project but are being included in the contract for project delivery efficiency and coordination. The amendment is in the amount of $450,000,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,650,000,000. Funding: $207,000,000 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Energy, $1,500,000 is available in the budget of Austin Transportation and Public Works and $241,500,000 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Convention Center. Approval of this item does not increase the overall project budget of the Expansion Project. Total contract authority for the Convention Center portion of this construction contract after this action will be $1,441,500,000.
