Council directs bids for 400 North sewer repairs; developer to cover pipe‑size material difference
Summary
Council authorized staff to prepare bids for repairs to a broken sewer on 400 North, accepted a $249,000 budget estimate and directed that the developer pay the estimated material difference (about $14,000) to upgrade from 8‑inch to 10‑inch pipe. Bids will be solicited under procurement rules.
Staff reported the damaged sewer segment on 400 North needs replacement and that two cost estimates differ because of material diameter. "The difference between the 8 in and the 10 in according to this estimate ... is $14,000," staff said as the council reviewed cost comparisons that moved the project from $249,000 to about $263,000 for the larger pipe.
Council discussed procurement requirements at that price point and directed staff to prepare bid packets; legal counsel and staff recommended memorializing the developer’s payment obligation in a development‑agreement addendum rather than have the city absorb the difference. Council approved the motion to bid the repair and requested staff return with documentation reflecting the developer’s obligation.
