Workshop reviews consent agenda: $5.66M Waldron Road sewer bid, temporary dispatchers and construction change orders
Summary
Staff summarized consent-agenda items that will appear at the regular meeting, including a $5,655,449.86 recommended bid for the Waldron Road sewer assessment zone, a six-month $60,000 contract for temporary dispatch staffing, and two construction change orders.
City staff reviewed consent-agenda items during the Jan. 30 Board of Mayor and Aldermen workshop, highlighting several contracts, bids and change orders that will be on the upcoming regular meeting agenda.
Key items presented to the board included:
- A recommended award for the Waldron Road sewer assessment zone to Barlow Incorporated with a recommended bid price of $5,655,449.86, described in the packet as the bid recommended for award.
- A NASPO state-contract lease for a city-hall mail machine with Pitney Bowes at $1,115.43 per quarter, which staff said saves approximately $54 per quarter compared with the prior arrangement.
- Approval of change order No. 3 with Isengard Construction Group Inc. for the 2019 Interceptor Improvements project, increasing construction costs by $35,104; staff said the contract price remains below the $3 million budgeted amount and that work is ongoing.
- A professional-service agreement and scope of work with GetRescue911 for police dispatch staffing services: a six-month contract for $60,000 with $10,000 due at signing and monthly invoices thereafter; staff said the city is using contractors to address dispatcher shortages and that contracted dispatchers are experienced but require time to train on the city’s computer-aided dispatch and paging systems.
- Approval of change order No. 6 with Barron Construction LLC for the Public Works and Community Development Services Facility, increasing the project by approximately $14,169; staff said the project remains within budget.
- An agreement with Hands on Nashville to support volunteer management and recruiting for stormwater events; staff said no fees were charged for 2025 and that the city has partnered with the organization for several years.
Staff answered board questions about contractor start dates, the timing of project completion and the process for awarding contracts. These items were presented as recommendations or consent-agenda items; no formal votes occurred during the workshop and final approval is scheduled for the regular board meeting.
