Nampa council approves Purdom Sewer Trunk amendment and lab‑hood contract
Summary
The council authorized a work package amendment for the Purdom Sewer Trunk (work package 2, not to exceed roughly $15 million) and awarded a $190,004.61 contract to Hobson Fabricating for wastewater lab hoods; staff described easement, inspection and public involvement costs.
The Nampa City Council authorized a work‑package amendment to extend the Purdom Sewer Trunk project and approved a separate contract to equip the wastewater treatment lab.
On the Purdom Sewer Trunk project, the council authorized the council president and public works director to sign work package 2 with the Einco KRC joint venture for an amount not to exceed about $15 million (the final figure was described as part of an upcoming budget amendment). John Spencer, Nampa’s director of water resources, told the council that the line item labeled "inspection / public involvement / easements" (about $1.675 million) covers required inspection services and the acquisition of easements needed for construction. The motion passed on roll call.
On a separate procurement the council voted to award a contract to Hobson Fabricating for the Nampa wastewater treatment lab hoods project in the amount of $190,004.61, funded in the FY26 budget. Council members said the bid was favorable and the motion carried on roll call.
Both actions were presented as matching budget and legal review; staff said inspection, easement purchases and frontage improvements are included in the project planning and will be addressed as construction documents and budget amendments are finalized.
Next steps include execution of the work package amendment, finalization of the budget amendment package that includes the Purdom work, and contract execution with Hobson Fabricating.
