Tamarac to accept $375,000 state grant for two wastewater lift-station projects
Summary
City staff said a $375,000 state grant will help fund upgrades to two wastewater lift stations; staff estimated construction costs at about $1,000,000 and said a contract award process is underway with a bid opening next week.
At a Jan. 12 agenda preview, city staff told the commission the city will accept a $375,000 state grant to help fund work on two wastewater lift stations.
Mustafa summarized the project, saying the grant will support construction work on two lift stations and that the two-station construction budget is about $1,000,000. He told the commission the bid opening is scheduled for the end of next week and that the city expects to accept the grant and proceed with awarding the construction contract.
Why it matters: wastewater lift stations are critical for sewer reliability and public health; the grant reduces the city's capital burden for the project but does not fully fund construction costs.
What happens next: staff will proceed with the bid opening and bring any contract award to the commission per usual procurement procedures. The Jan. 12 preview did not include a formal vote.
