Speedway council approves inspection contract for CSO tank and several public-works contracts
Summary
The Town of Speedway approved a not-to-exceed $598,126.25 construction-inspection agreement for the CSO tank project and authorized multiple contracts and a final change order covering landscaping, manhole lining and pedestrian/drainage construction closeout.
The Speedway Town Council on June 6 approved several infrastructure contracts and a final construction change order that together move forward a multi-million-dollar slate of public-works projects.
The council voted to approve an agreement with American StructurePoint to provide construction inspection services for the combined-sewer overflow (CSO) tank at the wastewater treatment plant. Town Manager Grant Kleinhens told the council the inspection exhibit lists fees of $598,126.25 as a not-to-exceed amount for what he described as a roughly $17.5 million project. "This is a 17.5 million project. Lots of underground work going on," Kleinhens said, adding that the firm must document hours and that unused contingency would not be billed.
Councilors also approved a final change order (Change Order No. 4) for the Crawford'sville Road pedestrian median and drainage improvement project. Kleinhens said the change order adds $121,233.75 and brings the authorized project amount to $2,881,276.50; additions include extra seating, arrow boards for traffic maintenance, winterization work and final striping. He said the town expects a final pay request at the next meeting and anticipates a roughly $100,000 reimbursement from the Metropolitan Organization (MO) grant for construction-inspection costs.
On sewer system maintenance, the council approved a proposal from BL Services LLC to apply an epoxy lining to approximately 20–25 manholes—mainly in the older part of town from Main Street west to Lynhurst. Kleinhens said epoxy is more expensive but "more effective and will actually last longer," with installed epoxy expected to provide multi-decade service compared with cementitious options.
The council also authorized selection of Nick Raymond Landscaping for a three-year landscape maintenance agreement covering Crawford'sville Road and Main Street. Kleinhens said the lone RFP response proposed an annual increase from about $82,400 to $84,400 and recommended authorization to work with legal on contract documents.
Each motion carried on routine voice vote. Councilors and staff said the combination of grant funding and careful budgeting will reduce immediate local borrowing needs, and Kleinhens noted the town has authority to issue debt from the new stormwater fee if necessary.
What's next: staff expect one final pay application before the Crawford'sville Road project closes out and will submit final documentation for grant reimbursement.
