Milford approves multiple infrastructure contracts: splash pad resurfacing, well rehab, lift-station lining and hydrant work
Summary
Council authorized a series of contracts including splash pad resurfacing (Centrix and SentriX bids discussed and subsequent ordinances read), rehabilitation of Well No. 4 (Boone Water Systems, ~$26,771), emergency lining at Happy Hollow Lift Station (Centrix, ~$49,785), and hydrant maintenance (Ellis, ~$10,000); the marketing contract was tabled for further review.
Milford City Council on April 21 approved several procurement actions to address parks and utility needs.
Splash pad: Staff presented competing quotes for resurfacing the 5 Points Landing splash pad. SentriX quoted roughly $33,000 for a one-color surface and about $60,310 for a three-color option; Hartig (listed in the packet) quoted approximately $38,000 for three colors but did not include a warranty. Council prioritized safety and some members favored SentriX's cushioned surface with a warranty while others emphasized timing to achieve a Memorial Day opening. The council subsequently advanced ordinances authorizing the city manager to engage Centrix and SentriX under terms presented in the packet with a contingency for completion timing.
Well No. 4 rehabilitation: Council authorized a contract with Boone Water Systems Inc. (not to exceed $26,771) to rehabilitate Well No. 4 at the water plant. Staff told council Well No. 4 is the system's largest well and can run the system by itself, making the repair operationally important.
Happy Hollow lift station: Following the January replacement of lift-station equipment, staff identified that the pit shell was rotted and required emergency lining to protect equipment and public health. Because the job is hazardous only one responsive quote was received; council authorized an emergency contract with Centrix Energy Partners not to exceed $49,785.
Hydrant maintenance: Council approved engagement with Ellis Maintenance for blasting and painting approximately 110 hydrants in first-phase work at a not-to-exceed $10,000 budgeted amount.
Management Essentials (marketing/organizational development): Council discussed expanding an existing marketing contract to add organizational-development services and HR support at an additional $5,500 per month but, after concerns about transparency and content raised by some members, voted to table the proposal to the next regular meeting.
All contract authorizations were read into the record and approved by roll-call votes where required. Staff will proceed with contract execution and return to council with scheduling and warranty details as appropriate.
