Summary

Public Works called for bids for 19,000 tons of landfill rock (routing restrictions) and annual asphalt materials, described awards to multiple suppliers for road‑surfacing materials, and presented a professional services agreement with Gibbs & Olson for water and sewer engineering not to exceed $200,000 through December 2028.

Public Works outlined procurement and contract items on Monday, including annual materials bids and a planned professional‑services agreement for engineering support.

Staff presented a call for bids to transport and stockpile 19,000 tons of rock for landfill use with a June 8 bid opening and a specification requiring haul routes that avoid South Silver Lake due to citizen concerns. An annual asphalt‑materials bid was also announced for shop pickup through June 30 of next year.

A road‑surfacing materials award was described as running May through the following April and will be awarded to multiple bidders for routine maintenance materials; named bidders included Gardner Rock Inc., JL Stordahl (Castle Rock site), Knife River (multiple sites) and LROC Industries.

In motion items, Public Works requested a professional‑services agreement with Gibbs & Olson for as‑needed water and sewer engineering services, not to exceed $200,000 and with a contract term through December 2028. Staff said the consultant would support system modeling, water‑system plans and larger developer reviews.

Staff also asked to pull a leachate‑related change‑order item from this week’s agenda to consolidate several related change orders and present them together.

The board did not vote on the Gibbs & Olson agreement during the discussion recorded in the transcript; staff noted it as a motion item to be addressed on the agenda.
