Waseca County approves architectural services under MPCA reuse-building grant; WITSAAP sole respondent at $48,000
Summary
After receiving an MPCA grant for a reuse building at the county solid-waste site, Waseca County approved an architectural services agreement with the single proposer, WITSAAP, for $48,000; staff said the grant will reimburse 75% ($36,000), leaving an estimated $12,000 local match.
Waseca County staff told the board that the county was awarded a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) grant to build a reuse building at the county solid-waste site and that the grant had been fully executed.
Staff solicited three local civil/architectural firms; WITSAAP was the only firm to submit a proposal. WITSAAP proposed $48,000 to deliver a bid package and associated documents. Staff said 75% of reimbursable expenses are eligible under the MPCA grant, which would make approximately $36,000 eligible for reimbursement and leave a local match near $12,000.
Staff recommended approval of an agreement with WITSAAP to prepare bid documents and the board approved the contract by motion and voice vote. Commissioners expressed support for timely execution so the project can proceed under the grant schedule.
Next steps: staff will execute the architectural services agreement, submit required paperwork for MPCA reimbursement, and advance the bid package to solicitation.
