Summary
Derby council authorized a corrected contract amount for the North Interceptor Force Main project and approved the city manager to execute the agreement after staff said a transposed digit led to the wrong figure in earlier paperwork.
The Derby City Council on Sept. 23 authorized the city manager to execute a contract with NOAC Construction for the North Interceptor Force Main project after staff said the award amount on paperwork included a transposed digit.
City Engineer Malik Lane and Public Works representative Alex (last name not specified) told the council the intended award was roughly $2.298 million, not the smaller figure that appeared in the earlier report. "I transposed some numbers on my report and it was only 2,289,000," Lane said, asking the council to approve the correct amount.
Council member Molt made the motion to authorize the manager to execute a contract with NOAC Construction in an amount not to exceed $2,298,913.86; the motion was seconded and carried 6-0.
The contract covers a sewer purchase connected to the larger North Sewer Interceptor project, a multi-block improvement that will run from Fifth Street and Rock to Madison. Staff said negotiations with the property owner (Columbian Acres, north of St. Mary's Church) have been ongoing for more than a year and this action advances the project's next steps.
