Council approves sewer-rehab contract and a citywide roofing package; staff to coordinate Boys & Girls Club timing
Summary
The council awarded the 2025 sewer rehabilitation contract and approved a cooperative-purchase roofing contract to replace multiple city roofs; staff recommended a 20% change-order contingency for the sewer project and to hold certain roof work until ad hoc committee guidance.
The council voted to award multiple infrastructure contracts covering sewer rehabilitation and city facility roof replacements.
Assistant Engineer Ryan Damon presented the 2025 Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project, which targets defective pipelines and manholes across 11 locations. He reported the lowest responsive bid at $2,031,630 from C E M Construction and said the approved project budget is $3.5 million; staff requested authorization for a 20% one‑time change‑order contingency to address unforeseen utility conditions during construction. "Due to the complexity and unpredictable nature of sewer utility work, specialized consultant support will be necessary," Damon said. Council approved the item 5–0.
Public Works Director Scott Smith then described a cooperative Garland contract to replace and repair roofs at several city facilities with 25–30 year warranties; staff recommended awarding a not-to-exceed contract for the package (approximately $2.41 million) and coordinating timing so work at the Boys & Girls Club childcare building could be held pending ad hoc committee and lease outcomes. Council approved the award (5–0).
Staff will return with implementation details and schedule work to minimize impacts to operations, coordinating off‑hours or weekend work where necessary.
