Village approves payments, loan request and maintenance plan for wastewater projects
Summary
The Village of Jackson Board of Public Works approved multiple pay requests, a Clean Water Fund loan reimbursement and a Veolia maintenance contract for ongoing wastewater treatment plant projects and equipment maintenance.
The Village of Jackson Board of Public Works on June 24 approved pay requests and a loan reimbursement for projects at the village wastewater treatment plant and authorized a multi-year maintenance proposal for disc filters.
Board members voted to move pay requests and a loan to the Village Board and Budget and Finance committee and approved a contract for preventative maintenance on the plant's disc filters.
The board recommended pay request No. 16 for the wastewater treatment plant tertiary filters and UV disinfection project to JH Hassinger in the amount of $99,540.52. The board also recommended Clean Water Fund loan request No. 13 for the 2024 wastewater treatment project in the amount of $125,364.57; staff said that reimbursement includes two additional 2024 engineering charges that had been missed.
The board approved a maintenance contract with Veolia Water Technologies for disc-filter maintenance at the wastewater treatment plant for $113,071.48. Jack, director of public works, described the proposal as “what they recommend is a 5 year maintenance schedule,” and said he and the wastewater supervisor reviewed the proposal with the village's consultant engineer. He also said plant records were unclear on prior maintenance frequency and that Veolia’s records suggested the filters may be approaching 10 years old.
On warranty and vendor selection, Jack said having Veolia perform the work preserves the parts warranty: “The only warranty we would lose would be the warranty on the parts. So, by having Veolia do it, we gain Veolia is trained to work on their equipment. They then will provide the warranty on the parts that were purchased.”
Board members asked about prior service history and inspection cadence; Jack said the filters were inspected earlier this year and the report led to the maintenance recommendation. The board voted to approve the payments, loan request recommendation, and the Veolia maintenance contract by voice vote.
The board did not set a separate rate for these items; the pay requests and the loan recommendation will be considered by the Village Board and Budget and Finance committee as part of regular financial approvals.
