Marysville council unanimously approves engineering contracts for sewer grant and road rehabilitation, plus routine disbursements
Summary
The Marysville City Council on Oct. 27 unanimously approved $118,000 in engineering services for an EPA community grant and $90,000 for design and construction engineering on 18th Street and Mac Avenue; the council also approved routine check disbursements, payroll and a Housing Commission reappointment.
The Marysville City Council unanimously approved two engineering contracts and several routine financial items at its Oct. 27 meeting.
City Manager Quentin Bishop asked the council to authorize a $118,000 contract with Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) to assist with an Environmental Protection Agency community grant for collection-system improvements. Bishop said HRC previously helped the city apply for a congressional award in 2022—"just over $1,000,000; 1.2 and change," he said—and that about "3 point some million dollars" remains from an earlier SAW grant. Bishop said the $118,000 contract will fund development of an EPA-approved work plan, procurement (bidding) and pre-construction phases with the intent to deploy the larger project in 2026. "We need to act with a sense of urgency," Bishop said, adding he will instruct HRC to proceed quickly so grant funds are not left unused.
The council moved and seconded the HRC contract approval; roll call recorded unanimous "Yes" votes.
Also added to the agenda and approved was a $90,000 engagement with BMJ Engineering Surveyors for design and construction engineering for the 18th Street and Mac Avenue Road Rehabilitation project. Bishop said the goal is to complete design work in advance so construction can start in spring. The motion was moved by Councilmember Dunne and supported by Councilmember Easter and passed unanimously.
The council also approved routine financial items: check disbursements for Oct. 10 and Oct. 17, 2025 (payments noted to Sherkey Electric for work at the library, golf course, water treatment plant and parks) and payroll for Nov. 7, 2025. Those motions passed on unanimous roll calls.
On the consent agenda the council reappointed W. D. Bolderift to the Housing Commission for a term expiring June 30, 2030. That item was approved as part of the consent package.
The council did not take any recorded votes against the measures. No public testimony opposed the contracts during the meeting.
