Board approves partial payments for street and water projects; city outlines reimbursement timing
Summary
The board authorized multiple partial and final payments to contractors for road resurfacing, sewer cleaning, pump upgrades and roof repairs and discussed timing for state and federal reimbursements, including a Dec. 16 CHIPS reimbursement deadline and roughly 30-day turnaround for EFC WIP payments.
The Board of Estimate and Contract on Sept. 11 authorized partial and final payments to several contractors for city infrastructure work and received staff updates on reimbursement timing for grant and loan programs.
The nut graf: Resolutions approved partial payments and final payments for street resurfacing, sewer cleaning and televising, roof emergency repairs at the armory, and pump upgrades. City staff said state CHIPS reimbursements missed the September deadline and the next CHIPS reimbursement is scheduled for Dec. 16; reimbursements for EFC Water Infrastructure Program projects typically take about 30 days, staff said.
What the board approved: The board moved and seconded a block of resolutions (items 10–15) including partial payment No. 6 to Piccolo Contracting Inc. for resurfacing, partial payment No. 16 to National Water Main Cleaning Company for sewer system cleaning and televising (phase 1), partial payment No. 3 to NuVista Designs General Contractors LLC for emergency armory roof repairs, partial payment No. 1 to Inter Contracting for Edison Avenue pump upgrades, and partial and final payments to Betrayal of Contracting Inc. for resurfacing projects.
During discussion a city official thanked the Department of Public Works and the contractors for managing multiple infrastructure projects. On reimbursements, staff said the city missed the CHIPS September deadline and that the next CHIPS reimbursement is scheduled for Dec. 16; EFC/WIP project reimbursements take about 30 days. The official also said funding for the emergency roof repairs was already available in city accounts.
Votes and outcomes: Each resolution was moved, seconded and approved on a roll call with Council President Brown and Mayor Patterson Howard recorded as voting aye.
Ending: The board concluded the infrastructure items and moved on to other financial matters; future actions on contractor closeouts or additional reimbursements were not specified at the meeting.
