Council to consider sewer rehab, multiple contracts and a land donation at next meeting
Summary
City manager reviewed the Feb. 4 council agenda, which includes multiple contract awards and professional services engagements across public utilities, public works and mental health services. Several items include dollar amounts and will be acted on at the regular council meeting.
City staff reviewed items scheduled for formal action at the Feb. 4 City Council meeting, including several procurement awards, professional-services agreements and one ordinance.
The city manager summarized the consent and committee agenda items the council will consider, including: purchase of sodium hypochlorite for drinking water to Univar Solutions USA, LLC ($467,325); sanitary-service lateral lining to Performance Pipeline, Inc. ($695,522.66); a professional-services agreement with RJN Group for sanitary service lateral work ($94,600); public-utilities plumbing maintenance services to Poner, Dillman and Mahalik, Inc. (PDM) ($340,222); purchase of a Leica robotic total station from Cara Company, Inc. ($41,769.08); an amendment to Hutchinson Engineering for phase 2 engineering on Farrell Road over Spring Creek ($26,190); and a $240,000 expenditure to Thrive Works Community Mental Health Program.
Staff previewed an agenda item (Council Memo 92-25) to award Gamsey Park Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation to Hair Construction, Inc. ($3,221,383) and an amendment to RJN Group's 2025 sanitary sewer rehabilitation professional services agreement not to exceed $263,000. The city will seek approval of a professional services agreement with Burns & McDonnell for construction-related engineering services for the 2025 water main and lead water service line replacement programs ($4,584,963.79).
The manager also noted one ordinance amending the 2024 annual budget for the combined sewer overflow long-term control plan Phase 4 east and west side regulators (de-commissioning) in the amount of $2,400,000, and pay request No. 6 for $2,663,549.96.
Other resolutions on the agenda include the previously described land-donation resolution for a water tower site donated by Northpointe/TCIH Holdings, LLC as part of an annexation agreement, a resolution authorizing acquisition of property for Joliet Downtown levy improvements ($115,000), and an appropriation of supplemental motor fuel tax funds for the Farrell Road design amendment.
A council member requested that one item (Council Memo 90-25, engagement for HAP contract and rental-rate modifications at Riverwalk Homes) be pulled from consent for separate consideration. Staff noted the Thrive Works item and requested a future presentation so the council could hear program accomplishments.
None of these items were voted on at the pre-council meeting; the city manager’s remarks were a review of the items scheduled for action at the Feb. 4 regular council meeting.
