Summary
Council approved a professional-services contract with Access Engineering to finish design work on the Knights Academy Road lift station and sanitary sewer after AES changed corporate names and EINs; staff characterized it as a housekeeping item to avoid duplicative billing.
The mayor and council approved a professional-services contract with Access Engineering to continue design for the Knights Academy Road lift station and associated sanitary sewer work.
City staff said the action is a housekeeping measure tied to a vendor name and EIN change (AES restructured and now operates under Access Engineering); staff explained they will close out the old task order, deduct completed work and not pay twice for any effort. The new contract is a percentage-of-construction agreement with a recommended not-to-exceed amount to limit cost exposure; staff said they prefer lump-sum proposals but recommended the NTE figure because of the percentage-based nature of the contract.
Council moved, seconded and approved the contract as presented. Staff said the firm’s staff remained the same and that the firm’s new office is now within city limits.
