Kanosh well project clears reviews; staff to advertise for bids
Summary
Rural Development and the Division of Drinking Water returned reviews with minor comments; staff will respond to engineer comments and advertise the town well project for bid, aiming for a typical six‑week advertisement period and a fall start for construction.
Town staff reported that reviews from Rural Development and the Division of Drinking Water on the Kanosh well project were positive, with only minor comments from the district engineer. Staff said they were preparing responses to the engineer’s comments and would release the project for public bid once the district engineer provides final clearance. An approximate six‑week advertisement window was discussed; opening bids in late July/early August would likely mean construction availability in the fall or early winter depending on contractor schedules.
Council discussed whether to run overhead or underground power to the well site; staff noted undergrounding reduces long‑term maintenance but can require easements that increase cost and take time to secure. Council authorized staff to prepare the advertisement documents and pursue the timeline, requesting notification to council when bids are posted and at bid opening.
No contract was awarded at this meeting; staff emphasized that final bid timing depends on the engineer’s final review and contractor availability.
