Council preview: nearly $2.4M water‑system contract selected to replace pipes in Saint Mary's / Saint Anne's area
Summary
Council reported staff received 12 bids and recommended awarding a water system improvement contract to a bidder identified as "Kilometers Davis" for about $2.3 million to replace pipes in the Saint Mary's / Saint Anne's area; work expected to start in January and run about six months.
City staff told the council they received 12 bids for a water‑main replacement project serving the Saint Mary's / Saint Anne's area and recommended awarding the contract to a firm identified in the work session as "Kilometers Davis." The contract amount was described as roughly $2.3 million ("almost $2,400,000"). Staff estimated work would begin in January and last about six months.
Council discussed a small easement needed because some piping runs through a subdivision and said the easement had been priced at $1; staff indicated the city will accept and pay that easement to allow timely construction. The council did not take a final vote at the work session but directed staff to include the contract on the regular meeting agenda for formal authorization.
Questions from council focused on schedule, local traffic impacts where the work runs through neighborhoods and the planned six‑month construction window. Staff committed to return with contract documents and a construction schedule for council consideration.
