Council authorizes RFPs for three $2 million DRRP projects, including sewer line and communications upgrades

City Manager Squyres told council Jacinto City was invited to manage three DRRP grants that had been reassigned from other cities and said "Each grant is worth $2 million." He described the projects: upgrading emergency communications and backup power (new generators for the annex building and the fire station and P25 radio upgrades), constructing a higher-capacity Lane Street sewer line to prevent storm-related overflows (a $2 million project), and a separate WWTP digester project split out to keep an earlier project within its $5.3 million budget. The council authorized staff to solicit Requests for Proposals for the three projects by unanimous vote.
