The San Luis City Council made significant strides in infrastructure development during their regular meeting on April 9, 2025, approving multiple contracts aimed at enhancing city facilities and services.

The council unanimously awarded a construction contract to Celis Development, doing business as Southwest Plumbing and Air, for the City Hall East Wing remodel project. Facilities Project Coordinator Edgar Juarez presented the proposal, highlighting that the project will add four new offices, a storage room, and a restroom. The total cost for the contract is set at $149,686, with completion required before the fiscal year ends on June 30. Juarez emphasized the importance of this remodel in improving city operations.

In another key decision, the council approved a contract with Consultant Engineering Inc. for construction management services related to the West Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. Assistant Director of Public Works Jorge Perez explained that the firm will assist in obtaining third-party cost proposals and negotiating final prices with contractors. The contract is valued at $388,200, reflecting the city's commitment to ensuring effective management of this critical project.

Additionally, the council authorized a purchase agreement with APS for power extension services at the new well site. This contract, amounting to $52,050.45, is necessary for the installation of an additional transformer and the extension of existing power lines to support the new filtration system project.

These approvals signal a proactive approach by the San Luis City Council to enhance municipal infrastructure and services, ensuring that the city can meet the needs of its growing population. The council's decisions are expected to lead to improved facilities and operational efficiency in the coming months.
