Council reviews $5.1 million low bid and $612,450 design‑admin amendment for Rock Hill pump station
Summary
Council was presented bids for a new Rock Hill Church site water pump station; Harper General Contractors submitted the low bid of $5,096,000 and staff proposed a $612,450 amendment for Hazen & Sawyer to provide construction administration.
Council reviewed construction and professional‑services contracts for a replacement water pump station at the Rock Hill Church tank site.
City staff recommended awarding the construction contract to Harper General Contractors, the low bidder at $5,096,000, and presented a budget amendment to fund the project. Staff said earlier design work had reached near‑complete plans before constructability problems halted the previous procurement; council members asked why the cost rose from an earlier estimate of roughly $3.5 million, and staff attributed the increase primarily to site work and building up the site because of steep grades.
Staff also asked the council to approve a contract amendment with Hazen & Sawyer, the design engineer, for construction administration services at a cost of $612,450. Council did not record a formal roll‑call vote on these items in the provided transcript excerpt.
Staff said Harper had performed well on prior Hillgrove work and is working with the city on related projects.
