Item 47 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This item authorizes an on-call construction contract with RUTS Construction, LLC to handle water and wastewater facility work for Austin Water on an as-needed basis. The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity setup lets the utility order repairs and projects without bidding out each one, which matters for keeping the pipes and plants running smoothly. The contract runs one year at $7,000,000, with two possible 1-year extensions of $7,000,000 each, for a total not to exceed $21,000,000; $7,000,000 is available now in Austin Water's Capital Budget, with the rest contingent on future funding.
