Marysville council awards $254,248 contract for Seventeenth Street pump repairs
Summary
The Marysville City Council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution awarding a $254,248 contract to Laurel AG and Water Lehi for the Seventeenth Street pump repair project, funded in part by a Yuba County Water Agency IRWM grant; the council also approved the consent calendar in a separate unanimous vote.
The Marysville City Council voted unanimously on May 20, 2025, to adopt a resolution awarding a contract of $254,248 to Laurel AG and Water Lehi for the Seventeenth Street pump repair project.
The council’s vote followed a presentation by public works staff explaining that three pumps at the Seventeenth Street station are worn and that replacement or rebuilding work is needed. The project, described to the council as the Seventeenth Street pump rehab project, was presented as covered within budget and by grant funding from the Yuba County Water Agency IRWM program.
Public works staff member John Mallon summarized the need and scope of work: “So the this is the Seventeenth Street pump rehab project. There's 3 pumps at the pump station that were put in basically when that pump station was built.” Mallon said the pumps are worn, that the station’s piping was altered when a ring levee project was constructed, and that the added head and age had contributed to issues. He told the council the pumps will be removed, taken to a machine shop and rebuilt if possible, with contingency budgeted to replace any pumps that are found to be beyond repair.
Mallon also confirmed the project’s grant support: “We were awarded the grant back in October,” and said heavy rains earlier delayed work until the summer. Council members noted the pumps’ role in flood control. Council member Hudson said, “I'm pretty, glad glad that these pumps are getting fixed and replaced,” and moved to approve the resolution; another council member seconded the motion. The council then voted unanimously in favor.
In a separate, brief vote earlier in the meeting, the council approved the consent calendar in a single motion and vote; the mayor moved to approve and a council member seconded, and the motion passed with no opposition.
The council did not report any actions from its closed session earlier in the meeting. The next regular council meeting was announced for June 30, 2025, at 6 p.m.
No specifics were provided in the meeting record about the contract’s scheduled start or completion dates, or detailed testing requirements referenced in the bidding process. The contractor name and the resolution number were recorded in the meeting text as provided by staff.
