San Luis council approves wastewater change order, well-site design contract and police radio purchase
Summary
Council approved Change Order No. 3 for the West Wastewater Treatment Plant ($272,887), a professional-services award to Kimberly Horn & Associates for Well Site No. 3 ($65,940), and the purchase of 13 handheld police radios (~$98,195). Each item was presented by public-works and public-safety staff and approved by vote.
The San Luis City Council approved several procurement and contract items at the meeting, including a change order for the wastewater-plant expansion, a professional-services contract for a well-site rehabilitation design and the purchase of new handheld police radios.
Public works director Lou Huebira presented Change Order No. 3 to Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering, Inc. (PACE) for the West Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion, explaining that the project scope changed when the city moved from a CMAR approach to a design–bid–build approach, that bidding-assistance and additional bid packages created added design and construction-management time, and that the change order is for $272,887. Council approved the change order by voice vote.
City engineer Tomas Sanchez presented a proposal from Kimberly Horn & Associates to provide design and construction-phase services for Well Site Number 3 (hydro-pneumatic tank rehabilitation and piping). Staff noted the November 2023 inspection identified issues requiring rehabilitation; the contract was presented at $65,940 and approved.
The police department requested authorization to purchase 13 handheld Motorola radios (via HELA Electronics under Arizona State contract CTR046830). The department said a majority of existing radios had reached end-of-support and could not be repaired; the total cost presented was $98,195.22 (including tax) and council authorized the purchase not to exceed the budgeted $100,000.
Each item had staff presentations followed by council motions and recorded approvals.
