Summary

Mark Long reported on multiple capital projects: an MCA residence contract awarded to Browns Construction for $339,816 (completion planned May 2026, staff seeking recovery plan), a $250,000 BOR-driven repair package with bids due May 27, and a major multi-phase pump-station rehabilitation slated for completion by December 2028.

Mark Long delivered a capital-improvement program status update covering several active and upcoming projects at McGee Creek.

He said contract WMC-037-1 (MCA residence replacement) was awarded to Browns Construction in May 2025 for $339,816 with framing underway; Long said he will meet the contractor to request a recovery schedule after observing that roof trusses were not yet installed and that progress may threaten the May 2026 completion date. Long told trustees he would seek a recovery plan from the contractor.

Long described WMC-042, a Bureau of Reclamation inspection-driven package for drainage and miscellaneous repairs with a scheduled bid opening May 27 and an estimated cost of $250,000, covering outfall and drain repairs, mold and water damage remediation to sheetrock, tunnel ventilation and corroded electrical conduits.

Other projects include WMC-044 (structural and coating improvements addressing corroded steel members and support structures, with preliminary engineering completed in December), WMC-046 (MCA headquarters site restoration once the residence is complete, including hazardous-material inspections for lead paint and asbestos and a planned summer bid), and WMC-035-2 (facility road repairs to Ferris Road and Crossover Road to be scheduled after demolition and construction to avoid damage). Long emphasized the significance of WMC-047, a multi-phase pump-station rehabilitation to replace antiquated electrical and instrumentation controls, consider motor replacements and potentially expand the building for new control equipment; Long said the pump-station work will likely proceed in phases to maintain operation and is planned to be completed by December 2028.

Trustees asked follow-up scheduling questions and expressed concern about the residence timeline; Long said staff will press the contractor for a recovery plan.
