Council approves design, construction and grant awards; reads several ordinances and adopts contracts
Summary
At the meeting the council approved a design contract amendment for a future intersection project, awarded street rejuvenation and sewer‑lining contracts and accepted a tourism wayfinding grant; votes included one roll‑call, other awards passed by voice.
The Rolla City Council approved several procurement and grant actions during the meeting, including a consultant contract amendment for intersection planning, an award for asphalt rejuvenation on city streets, a sanitary‑sewer lining contract, and acceptance of a state tourism grant for wayfinding design.
Lochmueller Group design contract: Council approved an amendment with the Lochmueller Group to perform right‑of‑way and design work for the Eighteenth Street/Bardsdale/St. James (Olds) intersection, with staff requesting final reading of a contract amendment for $1,011,400. The council conducted a roll‑call vote; the ordinance authorizing the mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 with the Lochmueller Group was approved by recorded vote (names and individual votes were read on the record).
Asphalt rejuvenator contract: Staff recommended awarding the bid for an asphalt rejuvenator project to Corrective Asphalt Materials LLC for $95,067.05 after rejecting the low bid because it did not meet specifications. Council approved the award and ordinance by voice vote.
Sanitary sewer CIPP repairs: Council awarded the contract for cured‑in‑place pipe (CIPP) lining of sanitary sewers to Visu‑Sewer of Missouri LLC, low bidder, for $292,794 to rehabilitate portions of the system without open‑cut excavation. Council approved the contract by voice vote.
Tourism signage grant: The council authorized the city administrator to accept and execute a notice of award for a Missouri Division of Tourism cooperative marketing grant to support wayfinding and welcome signage (up to $30,000 with a 50/50 match). Staff said local matching funds have been identified.
Why it matters: The Lochmueller contract funds planning-level work to identify right‑of‑way needs on a congested intersection for future improvements; the asphalt rejuvenation and sewer CIPP awards fund near‑term infrastructure repairs and maintenance. The tourism grant would fund design work for corridor signage that could support future construction if additional funds are secured.
