Aberdeen council OKs payments for water tower, transmission line and concrete repairs
Summary
The council approved pay requests totaling about $1.22 million for water infrastructure work and roughly $254,012.09 for a concrete maintenance contract including a change order. City engineer said pipe and pilings are installed and work will pause for winter.
The Aberdeen City Council voted to approve contractor pay requests for the city’s water tower and transmission-line work and to finalize payment and a change order for a concrete maintenance project.
Council approved $480,005.63 to Dami Construction and $744,866.50 to Landmark Structures for work on the water tower and related transmission line. City engineer Stu reported the contractor had installed pipe up to Eighth Avenue and that Landmark had installed most of the pilings needed for the tower foundation.
“Things are actually progressing very nicely,” Stu said during the meeting, recommending council approve both payments. The motions passed on roll call.
Separately, council approved a final pay request of $137,009.59 and a change order of $117,002.50 for a concrete maintenance repair project with CWF Masonry. Stu told the council the change order reflected a significant difference between the budgeted amount and the actual bid; staff said funds had been set aside in the capital program to cover the work and to support the upcoming chip-seal route.
Mayor Travis Shunnam and other councilmembers thanked CWF Masonry and subcontractors for completing additional volunteer concrete work at a new playground. The council approved the payments and change order on roll call without further amendment.
The approvals allow the city to pay contractors for work completed this season; staff indicated some construction will pause for winter conditions and resume as schedules allow.
