Manaway council to solicit bids from multiple engineering firms for impact-fee and water study
Summary
Councilors agreed to send a request for proposals to a set of engineering firms previously qualified under a CVG grant to update the town's impact-fee and water study. Members noted procurement rules requiring three written bids for contracts over $10,000 and that the cost fits the proposed budget.
The Manaway Town Council authorized staff to solicit proposals from several engineering firms to perform an updated impact-fee study that includes a water study.
Councilors discussed sending the request for proposals to firms previously accepted for the town’s CVG grant list — Forsgren, Sunrise, Jones and DeMille, Hanson and others — and agreed the firms should be asked to submit bids. Members noted that procurement rules require three written bids for contracts over $10,000 and that the town’s budget was prepared with this item in mind. One speaker referenced a $14,000 estimate and another said Ron placed $20,000 for the study in this year’s budget, indicating the expense falls within proposed funding.
Council asked staff to prepare a letter to the qualified firms, include a deadline for returns, and bring results back to council for review. A motion to proceed was made and approved during the meeting.
