City approves $118,667 bid to repair fire station apparatus-bay drainage
Summary
The council approved a single bid of $118,667.50 from Bryce Construction to overhaul deteriorating apparatus-bay drains at the fire station after Fire Chief Aaron Hurd described recurring flooding, safety hazards and sewer clogs linked to failing drains.
The council approved a contract to repair deteriorating drain infrastructure in the fire station apparatus bays after the fire chief described persistent flooding, clogged sewers and tripping hazards.
Fire Chief Aaron Hurd said technicians and maintenance staff had made ad-hoc repairs but the drains lack proper separator pits, allowing debris and grease into the sewer system and causing frequent clogs and flooding in support spaces. He said the only bid returned from the public solicitation came from Bryce Construction for $118,667.50 and that the work represents a two-phase effort intended to avoid leaving apparatus out overnight during repairs.
Hurd told the council that the work is a safety and liability priority and that funding could come from available balances allocated for these facilities. The resolution authorizing the contract passed on a roll-call vote.
Chief Hurd said future work may include garage-door repairs and additional maintenance; council members asked staff to coordinate project timing to minimize operational disruption.
