Council approves Gloria Way well repairs and hydrant replacement; Veolia to manage project
Summary
The council approved repairs and a hydrant replacement program for the Gloria Way well and confirmed Veolia will manage the project; utility manager Matt Vining clarified oversight.
The East Palo Alto City Council approved the Gloria Way well repairs and hydrant replacement program on March 17 after brief council discussion about project management and costs.
A council member asked whether the city or contractor would manage the project and noted a 15% markup by Veolia referenced in the staff report. City staff and utility manager Matt Vining said the project will be managed by Veolia, with the city’s utility manager overseeing the work. After public comment was called and none were offered, a council member moved to approve the project and the motion passed by voice vote.
No additional funding breakdown beyond the contract markup was presented at the meeting. Council members thanked staff and the utility manager for clarifying the management approach.
