Falls City authorizes $37,300 engineering contract for natural gas improvement project
Summary
The council approved a $37,300 engineering contract for the 2025 natural gas improvement project (labeled in meeting as Phase 9 or 2025 contractor project); staff said the work is strategically placed for a possible PHMSA-related grant and is budgeted for the fiscal year.
Falls City authorized execution of an engineering contract totaling $37,300 for a natural gas improvement project the staff labeled as Phase 9 (the meeting also referred to it as the 2025 contractor project).
Staff described the project scope as work north of Highland, primarily between two blocks referred to in the submittal (transcript phrasing: from "North Of 20 Fifth Street to 20 Eighth Street") and a few additional spots; the work is intended to pair with a grant referenced in the meeting (spoken as either "HMSA" or "PHSMA" in the audio). Staff said the contract is budgeted for the fiscal year and that if the grant is received, the city would reduce the project funding accordingly.
Council moved, seconded and approved the contract authorization with seven ayes. Staff noted the work will include significant boring in areas without open alleys and that some field components are coal-tar epoxy steel; the final field work scope will depend on grant funding and easement availability.
