Board reviews resolution to award $1.415 million contract for Southeast Park waterline improvements
Summary
Staff presented Resolution 2025-58 to award a construction contract to Civil Constructors LLC for Southeast Park waterline improvements costing $1,415,379; the board discussed scope, irrigation connections, and sequencing with parks and water departments but no vote is recorded in the transcript.
City staff presented Resolution 2025-58, a proposal to award the Southeast Park Waterline Improvements construction contract to Civil Constructors LLC for $1,415,379. The project was described as necessary to provide adequate fire flows and pressures to support the vertical buildings planned for Southeast Park; the water-line work will loop supply lines in the project area to create a new pressure zone.
The mayor summarized the project: it "needs to be done in order for the parks facilities to... actually be built on the Southeast Park." An alderman representing neighborhoods asked whether reclaimed irrigation lines used by homeowners’ associations would need to be disconnected; staff replied that the irrigation disconnection was a separate HOA issue (an "HOVAS break") and said staff would evaluate whether an amendment to the contract could accommodate additional disconnections if feasible.
Board discussion focused on scope and coordination across departments. No formal motion or recorded vote on the resolution appears in the transcript; staff presented the contract item for board consideration.
Staff noted the project connects from Red Wing to Long Lane to create the new pressure zone. The report indicated that the city is not the water district owner for the whole area and therefore must add infrastructure to deliver required flows to the park buildings.
The transcript records the item’s introduction and limited Q&A; staff said they would investigate whether irrigation connections could be addressed within the project through amendment if possible.
