Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025-35 to cover costs beyond the city's $75,000 limit for rebuilding a high-duty pump at the wastewater treatment plant; vendor named Moody's of Dayton.
Worcester City Council approved Resolution 2025-35 on Monday to authorize additional expenditures for rebuilding a high-duty pump at the wastewater treatment plant.
Director of Administration Mister Moulton told council the work on the No. 4 high-duty pump at the wastewater treatment plant exceeded the city's $75,000 administrative limit for purchases and repairs. Moulton identified Moody's of Dayton as the service provider and said the item is budgeted, but the expenditure exceeded the authorization level.
The council moved and voted to adopt the resolution by roll call; the motion to adopt was seconded and recorded as passing with all members present recorded as voting yes. Mister Rice, who was present for technical questions, did not raise objections during the presentation.
Resolution 2025-35 authorizes the director of administration to expend the necessary additional funds for the pump work and allows for immediate enactment. No precise final contract amount beyond the fact that the work exceeded $75,000 was stated during the meeting.
Council did not expand on warranty, timeline for completion, or downstream operational impacts during the public portion of the meeting; those details were not specified on the record.
