Council approves minutes, selects Twin D for sewer cleaning and Grover Excavation for road repairs
Summary
The city council approved prior meeting minutes and awarded contracts for sewer cleaning and two road repair projects after reviewing bids; all votes recorded as unanimous.
The City Council approved the previous meeting minutes and voted to award contracts for routine sewer cleaning and two road-repair projects on motions made during the meeting.
Council members formally approved the minutes from the work meeting and the council meeting. Tom Little moved to approve the minutes; the motion carried without recorded opposition.
On the sewer-cleaning contract, council staff presented two bids: one from Val J. Cotter for about $31,008.79 and one from Twin D for about $21,003.16. Councilmember Tom Little moved to accept Twin D’s bid, noting it was roughly $10,000 cheaper; Councilmember Karen Caldwell seconded the motion. The council voted unanimously to award the sewer-cleaning work to Twin D.
For two problematic dirt roads (including a section identified as the sewer-treatment road), the council reviewed competing bids and contractor approaches. Council members discussed the work scope — six inches of compacted pit run, road base, shaping, compaction and grading — and funding implications, including the possibility of later seeking county Corridor Preservation Fund or other road funds for an asphalt finish. Anne Whitaker moved to accept Grover Excavation’s bids for the two roads; the motion carried unanimously.
All formal votes recorded during the meeting were carried by unanimous consent with no roll-call tallies provided in the record.
