Summary

Council members voted to table awarding the wastewater industrial pretreatment facility contract to allow Bolton & Menk and staff to finish bid verifications and continue meetings with affected industries. The project estimate is $34,760,000 and six bids were opened on Oct. 9.

The council on Nov. 4 voted to table the award of the wastewater industrial pretreatment facility contract to the Nov. 18 council meeting so staff and Bolton & Menk can complete bid verification and follow up with affected industries.

Staff said six bids were opened Oct. 9 and that verification of the bids is ongoing. The city's prior estimate for the project was $34,760,000. At the Oct. 21 meeting the council had already moved to delay the award to allow outreach with industries; staff said the additional two-week period would allow those follow-ups and routine background checks to finish.

A motion to table the award to Nov. 18 was moved and seconded and the motion carried by voice vote. No award was made at the Nov. 4 meeting.
