Lafayette council approves $834,968 sewer rehabilitation contract, issues notice to proceed
Summary
The council voted to award the 2025 Sewer Rehabilitation contract to a contractor transcribed in the record as 'Inliner/DenLiner' with a low bid of $834,968 and authorized a notice to proceed with completion dates in 2026; staff also approved related task-order amendments.
The Lafayette City Council voted to approve a contract for the 2025 Sewer Rehabilitation project and authorized a notice to proceed, city staff said.
Brad Talley, representing Lafayette Renew, told the council bids for the project opened Jan. 6 and that a contractor transcribed in the record as "Inliner" submitted the low bid of $834,968; Talley recommended the contract award. The council moved, seconded and approved the contract by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Talley also notified the board that the notice to proceed begins immediately, with substantial completion scheduled for Aug. 3, 2026, and final completion on Sept. 3, 2026. The council approved the notice to proceed in a separate voice vote.
Talley presented a related amendment to Task Order No. 9, proposing to transfer roughly $9,700 from the design and bid phase into construction administration for the same sewer project. The council approved Amendment No. 1 to Task Order No. 9 by voice vote.
In addition, Talley asked the council to approve Task Order No. 10, a not-to-exceed $5,000 engagement with Wessler Engineering to seek an air-permit modification tied to boiler replacements at the Renew treatment plant. Talley described aging boilers that use methane from the digesters and said the boilers heat air/water loops that reheat digesters and plant buildings; the council approved Task Order No. 10 by voice vote.
Quotes recorded in the meeting include Talley saying, "Inliner was a low bid at the amount of $834,968," and describing the boilers as "huge" and that the plant "utilize[s] the methane that we create." The record contains variant spellings of vendor names (see clarifying details), which the city staff did not resolve on the record during the meeting.
The council’s approvals place the sewer rehabilitation project into the construction phase under the approved schedule and with the listed task-order adjustments. No member requested a roll-call vote in the meeting minutes provided; votes were taken by voice and recorded as aye/no opposition.
