Milan council approves $474,000 wastewater design contract and authorizes pump purchase
Summary
The Milan City Council approved a proposal for design and bid documents for a wastewater plant capital project not to exceed $474,000 and authorized purchase of two Flygt pumps for up to $42,000, both motions carried unanimously.
The Milan City Council on Feb. 20 approved a proposal from OHM to design a capital improvement project at the city’s wastewater treatment plant in a contract not to exceed $474,000 and separately authorized purchase of two Flygt pumps from Kennedy Industries for up to $42,000.
Councilmember Kofflin moved to approve OHM’s proposal; Councilmember Kerkes seconded the motion, which the council adopted unanimously. Councilmember Snyder then moved to approve the pump purchase; Pro-Tem Wayne seconded that motion and it also passed unanimously.
The approvals authorize staff to proceed with design and to purchase the specified pumps. The design contract covers preparation of engineering plans and a bid package for the plant capital improvements; the council did not specify a construction budget or timeline in the meeting record.
City Administrator Jim Lancaster and department staff were present for the discussion and will oversee procurement and contract execution, according to council action. The meeting record does not list a construction start date or indicate whether federal or state grant funds are expected to be used.
Next steps: city staff will work with OHM to complete design documents and prepare a formal bid process; the council did not take a separate construction authorization at this meeting.
