Speedway to negotiate contract with Patterson Horth after $13.79M low bid for combined sewer overflow tank
Summary
Council approved awarding the combined sewer overflow tank bid to apparent low bidder Patterson Horth for $13,791,000, contingent on technical and legal review, and authorized the town manager to negotiate the contract. Staff said construction could begin in June pending reviews.
The Town of Speedway on March 9 accepted an apparent low bid of $13,791,000 from Patterson Horth for a combined sewer overflow (CSO) storage tank at the wastewater treatment plant and authorized Town Manager Grant Kleinhens to negotiate a contract contingent on legal and technical review.
Grant Kleinhens told the council that five bids were opened on March 5 and that the apparent low bid excludes non‑domestic steel options; the base bid includes domestic steel. Staff said the engineering firm (DCCM) and legal counsel will complete technical and legal reviews and that the contract need not return to council unless those reviews require changes. Kleinhens said construction is expected to begin in June and that the bid came in roughly $1.1 million under the engineer’s estimate of $14,811,000, indicating competitive bidding.
Council action: A motion to approve the Patterson Horth bid with contingencies and to empower the town manager to negotiate a contract passed 5-0.
Context: Staff and council framed the project as part of required work to reduce combined sewer overflows and meet state compliance. Kleinhens said staff and the engineering firm will continue coordinating reviews; council emphasized completing reviews within weeks to keep the June construction timetable.
Next steps: Complete DCCM technical review and legal review; finalize contract negotiations; begin construction in June, subject to review outcomes and permitting.
