Lake County board awards bid for Live Oak Drive water main replacement in Kelseyville
Summary
The Lake County Board voted unanimously to award a bid and authorize the chair to sign the notice of award and project agreement for the Live Oak Drive water main replacement in Kelseyville; staff said the change is a clerical amendment to signature fields and is unrelated to a reported Clear Lake sewer spill.
The Lake County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to award a bid and authorize the chair to sign the notice of award and the project agreement for the Live Oak Drive water main replacement in Kelseyville.
Jesse Sawhna, representing Lake County Special Districts, told the board the recommended action would be amended so that the board would "award the bid and authorize the chair to sign the notice of award and for the project agreement." County staff explained the amendment changes signature fields on two documents — the notice of award and the project agreement — so the chair of the board may sign on behalf of the County of Lake if the board approves.
The matter was on the consent agenda and received a brief public comment before action. Sterling Wellman, an online commenter, asked whether the item had any connection to the reported sewage spill in Clear Lake. The chair and county staff clarified the item is a water main replacement in Kelseyville on Live Oak Drive and "has nothing to do with the sewer spill." Supervisor Spatier reiterated that water and sewer are separate systems with different budgets and districts.
County staff read two motions for the board. The first motion, to "award bid, and authorize the chair to sign the notice of award as amended," was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with the motion carrying 5-0. The second motion, to "approve the project agreement as amended and authorize the chair to sign," was likewise moved, seconded and approved 5-0.
The county noted both the notice of award and the project agreement were uploaded to Granicus and Legistar prior to the meeting. No additional details about the winning bidder, contract amount, or project schedule were provided in the record for this item.
The board took both actions as consent items and did not request further staff reports during the meeting. The approved signature changes mean the chair will sign the notice of award and project agreement on behalf of the County of Lake pending the administrative steps described in staff materials.
