Item 23 Passedunofficial
Authorize an amendment to the contract for engineering services for the Aquifer Storage and Recovery Pilot and Program Management Project with HDR Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $15,726,269, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $21,726,269. Funding: $15,726,269 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water.
Austin Water wants to expand its contract with HDR Engineering for the Aquifer Storage and Recovery pilot project, a strategy that stashes water underground during wet times so the city can pull it back when things get dry. This matters for Austin's long-term water security as droughts stick around. The amendment adds $15,726,269, bringing the total contract to no more than $21,726,269, paid from Austin Water's Capital Budget.
