Committee sends Verantas LLC professional‑services agreement for wastewater project to council
Summary
The committee voted to forward an ordinance authorizing the safety service director to contract with Verantas LLC for professional services on the wastewater project; administration said the appropriation just approved funds the agreement.
The Amherst Finance Committee voted to send Ordinance 82602 to the council, authorizing the safety service director to enter an agreement with Verantas LLC to provide professional services on the City’s Water Pollution Control Center improvement project.
The mayor told the committee the previously appropriated funds match the work Verantas will do and that the administration "can approve the safety service structure to go into an agreement." He said the appropriation just approved was the appropriate money for the contract. A council member characterized the phrasing as "the chicken before the horse" but members proceeded; the motion to take the ordinance to the floor with emergency passed 6–0.
If council approves the contract, administration will finalize terms and proceed with the negotiated professional services and next procurement steps.
