Council OKs $55,000 construction administration contract for wastewater UV bulb project
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to sign a construction administration agreement for the wastewater treatment plant UV bulb installation; staff said the line-item was budgeted and the $55,000 fee will cover construction administration services.
The Milford City Council authorized the city manager to enter a construction-administration agreement with the consultant identified in the meeting packet for the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) bulb installation project.
City staff said the project received an OPWC grant and that the construction-administration portion—overseeing change orders, reviewing plans, and acting as liaison with the contractor—was included in the budget. The agreement presented to council carries a $55,000 fee for construction administration; staff noted the project cost and the administration fee were already budgeted.
The city manager asked council to approve the expenditure because it exceeded the manager's spending limit; council voted to authorize the agreement and to allow the city manager to execute necessary documents. Council members recorded affirmative votes and the ordinance was adopted to permit staff to proceed with the OPWC-funded project and the planned installation work.
Staff said they will administer the project, oversee contractors and return to council with significant change orders or other major contract modifications if required.
