Danville approves KIA sewer grant, several utility procurements and a developer tap agreement
Summary
The commission approved a $959,638 KIA commitment letter for Moss Creek pump-station work, a $42,650 sole-source repair at Lake Harrington, a $42,914 TOC analyzer replacement (with original vendor refunding the prior purchase), and a 10-year update to a 2016 sewer-tap agreement with Danville Host LLC.
The Danville City Commission on March 23 approved multiple utility- and infrastructure-related items: a Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) commitment letter, two sole-source procurement actions for water-utility equipment, and an updated sewer-tap agreement with a private developer.
On the lake pump-station valve, a city staff presenter described a repair requiring removal, fabrication of internals, reassembly and reinsertion of a large check valve (14-inch internal diameter, weighing over a ton). The presenter said the sole-source work was necessary because few firms have the crane and expertise to perform the extraction and reinstallation; the cost was quoted at $42,650 and the commission approved the sole-source resolution.
Marshall presented a KIA commitment letter tied to a prior reallocation of clean-water grant funds for the Moss Creek pump station; he stated the grant amount as "$959,638. That is a grant." The commission voted to approve the commitment letter and authorized staff to sign required exhibits to expedite KIA review.
Staff also explained recurring failures with a total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer previously purchased in July 2025. The original vendor agreed to refund the purchase price (recorded in the packet as $44,923.44), and staff proposed procuring a replacement instrument from an alternative vendor at a slightly reduced price (about $42,914); commissioners approved the purchase resolution.
Separately, staff presented an updated 2016 sewer-tap developer agreement with Danville Host LLC that extends certain obligations 10 years and recalculates tap fees for sections three and four based on developer-installed infrastructure. Staff described the per-acre tap-fee methodology and said current plans show roughly 91 lots in one section. The commission approved the updated agreement.
Votes and next steps: Resolutions covering the valve repair, KIA commitment, TOC replacement and the developer agreement (resolutions 202632305, 202632306, 202632307 and 202632308) were approved in sequence; staff will execute vendor agreements and follow the KIA submission process.
