The Huron City Commission approved a series of procurement and construction items intended to finish year‑end projects and lock in pricing for 2026 work.

Engineering staff recommended and commissioners approved a Sourcewell quote to buy a 2027 Freightliner M2 chassis with 16‑foot dump body for the water department at $154,903; the purchase exceeds the $150,000 budgeted amount and staff said the remainder will come from water reserves. Brett Runge, city engineer, said the item is time‑sensitive because of lead times and pricing.

The commission also approved change orders and final pay requests tied to several street and drainage projects. For Jersey Avenue drainage improvements, Change Order No. 1 increased the contract by $4,208.32 and Pay Request No. 3 (final) totaled $31,974.24; Runge said winter concrete and balancing unused quantities produced a modest net increase. For the 2023 transfer‑station contract (bid 2023‑21), the commission approved a final decrease of $120,000 and a final pay request of $53,880.01 and authorized a global settlement and release intended to close outstanding claims and protect the city from future contractor demands.

On the Dakota Avenue streetscape and utility work, the commission approved Change Order No. 6 for BX Civil and Construction in the amount of $22,165.55 to cover unanticipated utility conflicts encountered in the field. Runge said a balancing deduct change order of roughly $180,000 is expected in January when unused quantities are reconciled, which overall will bring the project closer to its budgeted amount.

Finally, the commission approved an $82,007.44 amendment to the Burns & McDonnell construction‑administration agreement for the transfer station to cover additional administration work stemming from schedule overruns. Commissioners said the amendment is covered by contract adjustments already approved to resolve the project closeout.

All items were approved on roll call during the meeting. The actions are intended to finalize multi‑year projects and reconcile contract quantities so staff can close accounts and move forward with next‑year budgets.
