Board of Control approves routine requisitions including $120,000 deicer purchase and sewer design work
Summary
At its Jan. 28 meeting the Board of Control approved a slate of vendor requisitions and grant-funded payments — including a $120,000 purchase of deicer, multiple sewer-design contracts, and ADA door repairs — by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The Board of Control on Wednesday approved a series of routine requisitions and grant-related payments to support public-works maintenance, sewer projects and facility repairs.
At a meeting opened by the mayor, the board voted by voice to excuse Councilman Gresham and approved the minutes of its Jan. 20 meeting before taking up vendor payments and contract requisitions.
The clerk presented the first requisition: $5,683.33 to Atlantic Emergency Solutions to replace hoods for the fire department. The mayor noted Chief Womack confirmed the equipment is covered by a Bureau of Workers' Compensation grant and will be reimbursed; the board approved the payment by voice vote.
Other items approved included a $6,552 insurance premium to McGowan Insurance charged to the general fund; a $25,000 payment to Kent State University from the 'other grants' fund to produce a deliverable for a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant; and a $6,992.47 payment from the Harbour Town TIF fund to Zenith Systems LLC to cover additional work uncovered on an electrical conduit line along the Lakefront Trail.
Director Sage described two payments to GPD Group: $35,130.21 from the Peterson trunk line fund for further design work on the CSO 6 control measure and $64,986.80 from the wastewater and Peterson trunk line fund for citywide sewer-study work. "This is for more design work on CSO 6 control measure," Director Sage said, describing the engineering tasks as follow-up design and study work.
Public Works also received approval for a seasonal supply purchase: $120,000 to Cargill Inc., Salt Division, from the Street Maintenance and Construction Fund for deicer to support winter operations. The presenter noted the city's front-end loaders (two units described in later items) are aged and require parts replacement to maintain operations.
The board approved $8,506 to Endress & Hauser for calibration and verification of flow meters in the collection system and two identical purchase orders for $25,683.45 each to Southeastern Equipment Company to repair center-turn pivot pins on two front-end loaders (vehicles 150 and 155); presenters said the machines are about 18 and 19 years old.
Finally, the board approved $7,283 to Trinity Door Systems from the general fund to repair the Westside main entrance doors at City Hall to meet ADA standards; Director Sage noted staff secured a lower bid compared with last year.
All requisitions were presented by the clerk, moved and seconded on the floor and approved by voice vote with no recorded dissent. With no further business, the mayor accepted a motion to adjourn, and the meeting concluded.
What’s next: The board took no substantive policy votes and did not refer items for additional public hearings; these contract awards and requisitions move forward per departmental procurement procedures.
