Northglenn approves reservoir and water‑system repair contracts and emergency addendum
Summary
Council approved three items to address erosion and aging water infrastructure: a contract for terminal reservoir riprap repair (CR105), an addendum to increase an on‑call emergency utilities contract with Global Underground (CR106), and an addendum to Glacier Construction for chemical building improvements at the water treatment facility (CR107).
Council approved a set of water‑system infrastructure actions aimed at repairing erosion and addressing recent main breaks.
CR105 authorized a professional services agreement with Coal Creek Inc. for Phase 2 riprap repair at the terminal reservoir, completing erosion work identified in a 2022 state engineer assessment. Director of Public Works Sarah Borgers said bids ranged from about $143,000 to $188,000; staff recommended a $159,564 contract from the lowest responsible bidder with a 10% contingency, citing the contractor’s reservoir‑specific experience.
CR106 added funds to a trade contractor agreement with Global Underground Corporation to cover emergency utilities repair services through year‑end and ratified emergency purchases related to a large water main break. Borgers said the city relied on Global Underground for response to a 24‑inch main failure and will return in December with the 2026 contract.
CR107 approved Addendum No. 1 to the contractor agreement with Glacier Construction for chemical building improvements at the water‑treatment facility; the addendum covered cost escalations identified while coordinating required fire suppression work. Council passed all three items unanimously.
