Council approves excavation pay request, ARPA-backed solar change order and water-system notes; multiple contracts passed
Summary
At its meeting, the Edgerton City Council approved Pay Request #3 to BKS Excavating ($165,952.52), bills and payroll ($809,963.27), a $7,027.30 change order for Arch Electric funded by ARPA, several safe-drinking-water contracts and two resolutions authorizing water-system promissory notes.
The Edgerton City Council approved a series of routine financial actions and contracts on motions made during the meeting.
The council approved Pay Request #3 for BKS Excavating for the Albion Street Utility and Street Improvement Project in the amount of $165,952.52 after brief discussion about potential liquidated damages for missed milestones. The finance report that preceded the vote noted the finance committee met at 6:30 p.m.
Councillors then approved bills and payroll totaling $809,963.27. The council also approved Change Order #1 for Arch Electric, increasing the solar installations contract by $7,027.30 to a total of $199,882.04; meeting comments said ARPA funds will cover the increase.
The council authorized a contract described in the packet as with “Corals and Brady” for a safe drinking water loan to replace public and private lead service lines and approved several financial-assistance agreements for local water projects, including project number 4008-008 (Lehi service lateral replacement). The body also approved City of Edgerton resolutions authorizing the issuance and sale of general-obligation water-system promissory notes: Series 2024B (up to $1,273,440) and Series 2024A (up to $330,882), with standard covenants referenced in the resolutions.
Other administrative approvals included a contract for computer backup services (four servers, three non-network PCs and email) to be paid from 2024 contingency and then moved to operating expense; and a contract amendment increasing the Clerk of Court fee by $100 per month.
Most motions were moved by an unidentified frequent mover (Speaker 5 in the transcript) and carried by roll-call votes. Where roll calls were recorded, council members called by name (as read aloud in the meeting) responded in the affirmative. The meeting record showed no failed motions on these items.
The meeting packet and motions list the contractors and amounts as presented to the council; the council’s votes and funding sources (for example ARPA for the Arch Electric change order) were recorded at the meeting. The council scheduled follow-up and public hearings on some projects as noted in committee reports.
