The speaker, identified in the sign‑in as Nordstrom Hogan, said the apartment has been flooded by the air conditioner for more than a year and that the tenant, identified as Alicia Key, is handicapped and disabled. Hogan told council members the unit may have black mold, that closet doors would not open, a blind needed replacement and a ceiling fan had not been repaired for a year. He said he had taken photographs and offered to share them with staff.

\"The air conditioner has flooded the entire apartment. There has been nothing done about it over a year,\" the speaker said at the podium.

City staff offered to refer the speaker to the appropriate staff member for follow‑up. There was no formal council action recorded on the public comment; the issue was raised during the visitors' remarks period.","A resident addressing the council said an air‑conditioning leak has flooded an apartment at Navasota Manor for more than a year, causing possible mold and other maintenance problems for a disabled tenant; staff offered a referral to city staff for follow‑up during public comment.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208275,"Navasota staff report delays on pump and tank work; council approves change order for wastewater repairs",0,486000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749172-105686b9df0d23d208e2da356086f0fc&start=486&end=486","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749172-105686b9df0d23d208e2da356086f0fc/thumbnail_486000.jpg","/articles/6208275/Texas/Navasota-staff-report-delays-on-pump-and-tank-work-council-approves-change-order-for-wastewater-repairs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208275-a25b0322369a1dc86a66a4ccfb0d573e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771056471&Signature=bOOvvEsKaWo1x8FIVihwqAYEqDTioe91nw9PKNnBqjmP9zfa-x-vyDMWyOqxymiKO4-uKmkAbuxk38FMoPU1tkapSRU8pKvAldh~AUTAXyJvEtpzzloL6adcujCUymMm-FWtrOtMqAtuUwXs4hPxV35mrxMEser1LMJRlllLCMvpVk-bvhYmp8GYock-ubCSGd4-uuBlD77WQDBrDyfiwW8qsuKVWJygJRhXnpezvcSPWsiTEyU58BJcmS0aBN-2s6lFCJwU50WsCYkAJADuVhz5Xqxrh1UL74T-qqle9cMiRTO~J4YnaH1JmF32WaBXWtFMvMXWbAJbL276Z40~4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Navasota City Council that several capital projects are delayed because of weather and contractor scheduling, and the council authorized a change order to repair a sewer line discovered beneath the wastewater treatment plant lab.

Project manager Matthew Dooling said the Waterway Number 8 pump installation was postponed after heavy rain prevented contractors from getting rigging into the well site; Elevated Storage Tank Number 3 was delayed by a contractor conflict but staff expects mobilization within one to two weeks. Dooling said the city completed replacement of chlorine scales for its one‑ton tanks and that the digester blower has been set but not yet installed; a bell press overhaul is scheduled to replace wearable parts.

Staff said Cedar Creek stabilization work will focus on the area behind the wastewater plant where erosion has caused one pipe to collapse out of position. Dooling said crews will clear brush to allow engineers to inspect the area and develop a stabilization plan. He also listed six sewer manholes on North LaSalle with cracking that staff will bid to replace and raise, and said Well 5 rehabilitation is scheduled with pump removal and casing inspection.

Jennifer Raimo, public works director, described the wastewater plant change order approved by council. During lab remodeling to repair a floor drain, staff found a cracked sewer line beneath the lab slab that appeared to discharge some sewage into the ground. Raimo said the city evaluated options to access and repair the line and determined that tunneling underneath the slab was preferable to tearing out cabinetry and flooring. Raimo said the under‑slab approach was the “best option.”

Council approved the change order for the wastewater treatment plant repairs in a motion that capped the expenditure at $15,000. Raimo said work will proceed to repair the sewer piping under the slab to prevent continued leakage.

Staff also reported upcoming tree‑trimming work focused on areas east of LaSalle and a number of summer maintenance tasks. Several projects remain subject to contractor schedules and further engineering reports.","City staff reported weather delays to several water projects and identified erosion at Cedar Creek; the council approved a change order not to exceed $15,000 to repair a cracked sewer line under the wastewater plant lab slab.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208278,"Navasota council approves $520,135 contract for 2025 street maintenance",925,1437000,2362000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749172-105686b9df0d23d208e2da356086f0fc&start=1437&end=2362","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749172-105686b9df0d23d208e2da356086f0fc/thumbnail_1437000.jpg","/articles/6208278/Texas/Navasota-council-approves-520135-contract-for-2025-street-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208278-b97861c8573dbc35aadc67cba61ee0b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771056471&Signature=M8AJMxPSJtjUkqYZA2eYxM7Y9VfmSMXELojpgheZ-g9pCQDuQ1-4YHS5m26oE1cOUmUpJK8fmxU9HhBq31N23WjNRYW2ugvhMZ1wvterSOPGDNVNNvcjYRMBZ-CCDYskVg0m~IZhHay~484jg-LfOwkIDg3LW~jd1uMSHxTGZcY8sDu5Tlkdx-na16IZo7lk33xXB2UZfCUcU0Gt2cJBgxVMRp4ZkupEFI4-gRywFC1BwYRuiLH-YUSOCYfd2vwvpA5tU8Gt~rnsy~RNLaUSOpirDuqaRMLzIPtvCeEBbOilgZBYA-AqGKCe2-m2NB6VuSeivbV4rEH7vUocp0feVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Navasota City Council voted by voice to award a $520,135 contract to BPI Paving Inc. for the 2025 Street Maintenance Project, council members announced during their regular meeting.

City staff said the project covers segments on Turner, Taylor, Burton, Woodrow Jackson, Dixon, Bell, Eighth Street, Will, West Hill, Ninth, West Virginia and Peoples streets. Assistant Public Works Director Jose Coronilla described the planned method as reclaiming the base, adding 4% cement to that base and then placing two inches of hot‑mix asphalt on top.

The item drew questions from council about work quality and remedies for defects. City legal counsel pointed to Section 9.7 of the contract, which provides a one‑year warranty against defective materials and workmanship, and staff noted the contractor must post a performance bond that can be claimed if the contractor fails to remedy defects. The contract also includes a liquidated‑damages provision; city staff said the document leaves discretion to the city on whether to apply those damages.

A staff presentation summarized three bids received: Texcon General Contractor at $582,895.40; Night River Corporation at $547,430.00; and VPI LLC at about $655,000. City staff recommended awarding the work to BPI Paving Inc.; council approved the award by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

Council members also noted the cemetery fund had $86,000 allocated for cemetery roads and staff said they will present a related change order for that work at a future meeting.

The contract award authorizes the city manager and staff to finalize award documents and to oversee contractor compliance with the contract's warranty and bonding requirements.","The Navasota City Council voted by voice to award a $520,135 contract to BPI Paving Inc. for the 2025 street maintenance project, covering multiple residential streets; council and staff discussed warranty, performance bond and liquidated-damages provisions before the vote.","actionData","errors"]
