Council approves Brookview Boulevard water main contract with Katz Construction for $2,594,717.02 after procedural re‑sponsorship
Summary
City council amended and approved ordinance 74‑25 to award the Brookview Boulevard water main replacement contract to Katz Construction for $2,594,717.02; the vote followed a procedural withdrawal and re‑sponsorship to correct a voting irregularity.
Council voted to approve the Brookview Boulevard water main replacement contract, as amended, naming Katz Construction as the contractor and establishing the contract amount at $2,594,717.02.
The ordinance (74‑25) was presented to council with an amendment to insert Katz Construction in Section 1 and to set the contract sum at $2,594,717.02. After a motion and second, the council voted to adopt the ordinance as amended. The measure was read under third reading with the amendment and passage was confirmed by roll call.
A procedural issue followed initial passage: council members noted the original sponsor had voted against the measure, requiring a withdrawal of that vote and re‑sponsorship. Councilwoman Deborah Leim became the new sponsor and Council voted again to adopt the amended ordinance; the roll call recorded unanimous support in favor during the re‑vote.
The amendment also included a waiver of the normal rule (rule 52) to allow immediate final passage. Council members debated warranting and procedural steps in committee prior to final adoption but ultimately approved the amended contract on the council floor.
What comes next: the mayor and the director of public service are authorized to execute the contract with Katz Construction; the public service department will oversee construction and contract administration.
