Herington awards small concrete-repair package for up to $24,480
Summary
City staff recommended and the governing body approved a package of small concrete repair projects to a local masonry contractor at a discounted package price of $24,480 (original total $27,200) to repair water-service and drainage spots across town.
The Herington governing body approved a contract award for miscellaneous small concrete repairs not to exceed $24,480 to a local masonry contractor.
Staff explained the projects are several small, specialized pours tied to water repairs, hydrants and drainage that larger contractors often decline; staff said the full retail bid totaled $27,200 but the contractor offered a package discount to $24,480 if all locations are approved together. A commissioner motioned to accept the bid for up to $24,480 and the body approved the motion.
Why it matters: The work repairs spots where the water department has excavated previously and helps address local drainage and infrastructure maintenance without pursuing a costly, lengthy bidding process for small, specialized jobs.
What officials said: Staff noted, "So the actual bid is $27,200, but if we, approve, all the bids tonight, it would be $24,480." A commissioner moved, "we consider concrete work and projects not to exceed $24,480 to Lorenz and Masonry." The council approved the motion.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with contract paperwork and schedule the work; staff also said training some city employees to perform pours is under consideration for the future.
