Commission approves $135,941 contract to replace VFW Arena 12-inch water main
Summary
The Water Lake Commission voted to approve a $135,941 proposal from Construction Engineers to replace a 12-inch ACP water main at the VFW Arena, accepting a construction bid of $122,541 plus inspection and fees. The item passed by roll-call vote.
The Water Lake Commission voted June 17 to approve a proposal from Construction Engineers to replace a 12-inch ACP water main at the VFW Arena, with the total contract amount reported as $135,941.
Staff said the construction bid from Zabros was $122,541 and that, after Construction Engineers’ inspection and project fees were added, the recommended total came to $135,941. Mr. Gad and Todd Forester presented the recommendation and told the commission the costs were within budget and that earlier negotiations trimmed about $15,000 from the price.
Commissioners moved and seconded the measure and conducted a roll-call vote; the motion passed and the contract award was approved. The mover and seconder were not recorded on the transcript. The commission did not record a separately identified dissenting vote in the minutes presented at the meeting.
The commission’s approval authorizes the city to proceed with replacing the 12-inch ACP (asbestos cement pipe) water main at the VFW Arena and to engage Construction Engineers to manage and inspect the work. Staff did not provide a construction start date in the discussion and did not specify contract completion milestones during the meeting.
Next steps: staff will coordinate scheduling, final contract paperwork and project inspection under Construction Engineers’ oversight. The item was handled as old business and required no further public comment at the June 17 meeting.
