FPUA awards low‑pressure sewer installation contract to Baker Underground
Loading...
Summary
The board approved a contract with Baker Underground Contractors for low‑pressure sewer system grinder installations and septic conversions, not to exceed $500,000 annually through May 2027 with two one‑year renewals.
Cooper, wastewater collection supervisor, requested board approval of a multi‑year contract for low‑pressure sewer grinder installations and septic conversions.
Staff said the program continues to extend sewer where gravity systems are unavailable or cost‑prohibitive; the conversions protect the environment and create annexation opportunities and new wastewater customers. Baker Underground Contractors has been the contractor for these installs since about 2020 and staff asked to keep them on contract. The board approved a contract not to exceed $500,000 annually; staff said the work occurs both inside city limits and in adjacent rural county areas where gravity sewer is not available and that some work is coordinated with health‑department requirements for tying to sewer when within certain distances.
The contract is on an as‑needed basis and includes unit prices and exhibits in the backup materials; the board approved the motion by roll call.
