Northglenn council approves meter, flow meter and concrete contracts totaling several hundred thousand dollars
Summary
Council unanimously approved three resolutions on Nov. 25: a $110,000 change order to finish moving 41 inside water meters outside (CR 173); a booster-to-high-zone flow meter replacement contract for $84,180 plus 10% contingency (CR 178); and a $349,545 contract for the 2024 Residential Concrete Program and Greenway Trail work (CR 179).
Northglenn City Council on Nov. 25 approved three public-works resolutions affecting utility and infrastructure maintenance.
CR 173 authorized a change order to the existing on-call meter replacement contract with Brannon Construction to complete the project of moving inside water meters to the outside of homes. Director of Public Works Sarah Borgers said staff completed 15 of 41 meters under the original contract and requested a $110,000 change order to finish the remaining meters; council discussion confirmed the 41-meter total and asked staff to follow up on whether gas meters were also being addressed.
CR 178 approved an agreement with Glacier Construction Co. to replace a flow meter that measures water sent to the high-pressure zone. Borgers said the low (and sole) bid received was $84,180 and staff recommended a 10% contingency given the specialized work and limited number of firms that perform it.
CR 179 awarded the 2024 Residential Concrete Program and Greenway Trail Project to KRM Concrete LLC for $349,545. Borgers noted the selected bidder was the second-lowest and that funding for the work includes grant support from the parks department.
All three resolutions passed unanimously after motions and seconding on the consent/regular agenda.
Council members asked procedural questions about sole-source or single-bid justifications and sought assurances that affected businesses would remain operational during any demolition or contract work that followed from related redevelopment plans.
