Council reviews equipment purchases and engineering agreements for public works
Summary
Council discussed multiple public-works items, including amending the wheel-loader purchase price to reflect a 2004 trade-in, authorizing a task order with Verdantas for site-plan review and a $72,000 annual city-engineer contract (noted as $6,000/month). No controversial changes were made.
At the Feb. 10 Committee of the Whole meeting, council considered several public-works and engineering items grouped for first reading and discussion.
Resolution 20-2026 would amend an earlier resolution to revise the purchase price for a wheel loader from Southeastern Equipment Company to reflect a trade-in credit for a 2004 wheel loader and the purchase of a used 3-cubic-yard bucket for the Department of Public Service. Staff described the revision as reflecting the agreed trade-in credit.
Resolution 21-2026 would authorize a task order (No. 13) with Verdantas to provide professional engineering services for site-plan review and site inspections. Staff said the task order covers routine plan-review and inspection needs tied to development activity.
Council also discussed retaining a city engineer under a service contract billed at $6,000 per month, or $72,000 annually, with a March-to-March contract year and a specified account number for the service department.
Council did not express objections in committee and the items were presented for subsequent formal action as appropriate.
