Summary
Project manager Todd Pillar said staff will seek an ordinance on Oct. 21 to waive competitive bidding and authorize a Maxfoot Construction Company LLC contract not to exceed $510,000 to build a new discharge effluent structure and outfall pipe to connect the Davidson Drive Wastewater Treatment Plant to Lake Catherine.
Project manager Todd Pillar said the board will be asked on Oct. 21 to waive competitive bidding under Arkansas Code Annotated 14-47-138 and authorize a not-to-exceed $510,000 agreement with Maxfoot Construction Company LLC to construct a new discharge effluent structure and outfall pipe at the Davidson Drive Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Pillar said the work includes a new structure, outfall pipe between the plant and Lake Catherine, weirs and flow-monitoring devices. He described the structure as roughly 27 feet wide, 37 feet long and 17 feet deep and said the project timing is tied to the lake drawdown: the city has permission to draw Lake Catherine down 7 feet in December and January to allow related work. The contract is a not-to-exceed $510,000 and will be funded from the board-approved 2025 wastewater bond fund.
No board action occurred at the agenda review; the ordinance is listed for consideration at the Oct. 21 meeting.
