Council records pay request for deep-well work and reviews contract extension with 120 Water Inc.
Summary
Council authorized a pay request tied to the city’s deep-well drilling project and discussed continuing work with 120 Water Inc. on identifying unknown service lines; the pay request notes site mobilization but that drilling had not yet begun.
The council authorized Pay Request No. 1 from Municipal Well and Pump for the 02/2024 water system improvements (deep well drilling), totaling $277,900.65 for mobilization and equipment costs on the project to date.
A city representative said the contractor has mobilized and prepped the drilling site but had not yet started drilling; those mobilization costs were presented as part of the contractor’s billings to date. The payment was presented as part of project costs that will be applied toward a USDA grant the city received for the work.
Separately, councilors discussed an ordinance to renew and update the city’s agreement with 1 20 Water Inc. (120 Water Inc.) related to lead-line inventory work. Staff said 120 Water helped identify unknown locations and recently supported a survey to residents; city staff reported the inventory phase is ongoing even though an initial deadline had passed. A motion to authorize renewal of that agreement was made on the record, and staff discussed continuing house visits and meter-change visits tied to unknown-line identification.
The transcript does not record a detailed roll call for the 120 Water Inc. ordinance renewal in the excerpt; the payment request for Municipal Well and Pump was moved and seconded on the record and described as authorized in the meeting.
