Item 12 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This item authorizes a construction contract with Flintco LLC to replace the condenser water system at District Cooling Plant No. 1, the Austin Energy facility that pipes chilled water to downtown buildings for air conditioning. The condenser water system is the piece that dumps the heat outside, so keeping it running is what keeps cooling flowing to the customers connected to the plant. The contract totals $24,850,775 plus a $2,485,078 contingency, for a not-to-exceed amount of $27,335,853, available in Austin Energy's Capital Budget.
