Summary

Council authorized a $1,010,000 amendment to JUB Engineers' contract—bringing the contract to $2,021,900—to fund final design and construction-phase services for Reservoir 4 and the transmission main, which is being delivered in three subprojects and includes cultural monitoring and 160 field observation days.

The College Place City Council on Dec. 9 approved an amendment increasing JUB Engineers' contract by $1,010,000 for work on Reservoir 4 and the related transmission main, for a new total contract value of $2,021,900.

Public works director Robert McAndrews said the overall project was split into three subprojects during design: project 1 (work tied to the Majagna Road reconstruction), project 2 (the bulk of the transmission main construction and construction-phase services), and project 3 (the water tower itself, which depends on federal funding administered by the Army Corps of Engineers). McAndrews summarized the amendment as $440,000 for final design items, $53,000 to help Apex with construction-phase services on project 1, $787,000 for project 2 construction-phase services (including 160 on-site working days), and $130,000 for cultural monitoring required for the project.

McAndrews said the amendment is funded in part by a $10,000,000 Department of Health grant (a mix of grant and low-interest loan) and by other federal earmarks; council members asked questions about project staging and funding and then moved to authorize the contract amendment. The motion passed by voice vote.

Why it matters: the Reservoir 4 and transmission main work is a major multi-year infrastructure effort with multi-million-dollar funding packages and construction impacts. Staff emphasized phasing to align with available federal funding and to coordinate with the Majagna Road reconstruction.
