Lafayette City records sewer and chemicals bids, approves contract amendment and renewals, and clears $4.25M in claims
Summary
Council recorded bids for the 2025 sewer rehabilitation and multiple chemical supplies, took those bids under advisement, approved a $10,000 amendment to a wellfield engineering contract, renewed fuel and sodium hypochlorite supply contracts, and approved $4,246,441.23 in claims.
The Lafayette City Council recorded multiple procurement bids, approved a small contract amendment for a wellfield project, renewed supplier contracts and approved weekly claims during its meeting.
For the 2025 sewer rehabilitation project staff read bids from several firms including Inliner Solutions ($834,968), VisuSour LLC ($1,555,130), S A K Pipe Infrastructure ($1,049,366.50), and SLB Pipe Solutions ($1,180,152). The council moved to take those bids under advisement.
Purchasing staff then read a series of chemical-supply bids (ferric chloride, hydrochloric acid, buffered muriatic acid, ammonium sulfate, sodium fluoride, sodium bisulfite, sodium chloride) from vendors including PVS Technologies, Water Solutions Unlimited, Alexander Chemical Corporation, Bell Rock Chemical and Rentag Mid South. Council took the chemicals bids under advisement.
Steve Moore, superintendent of Lafayette Water Works, recommended Amendment No. 3 to the Wessler Engineering contract for the Glick Wellfield Improvements project to cover additional construction administration and resident project representative time. "This amendment number 3 will increase the contract by $10,000," Moore said; he recommended approval, noting the amendment brings the total contract amount to $370,900. The council moved, seconded, and approved the amendment.
Purchasing Manager Dave Payne recommended renewal of the city's longtime fuel contract with Newton Oil for 2026; council moved and approved the renewal. Payne also recommended renewing a contract with JCI Jones Chemicals for sodium hypochlorite at $1.62 per gallon for use by Renew Water Works and the West Lafayette Water Resource Recovery Facility; council moved and approved that renewal as well.
Controller Jeremy Deal reported weekly claims totaling $4,246,441.23 and the council moved and approved those claims by voice vote.
No formal awards or final contract authorizations beyond the Wessler Engineering amendment and the contract renewals were recorded in the transcript; many procurement items were recorded and taken "under advisement" for later action or processing by staff.
