Council narrows watermain replacement scope, approves $95,000 grant reduction
Summary
The council adopted a Small Cities Development Program grant amendment that reduces funding by $95,000 and refocuses the watermain replacement on 4th Street between 10th and 12th Avenues using horizontal directional drilling and a new 6-inch main under the east shoulder.
The Two Harbors City Council on July 14 adopted RESOLUTION NO. 7-317-25 to accept a grant amendment for the Small Cities Development Program that decreases available funding by $95,000 and revises the watermain replacement project scope.
Under the amendment the project will focus on 4th Street between 10th and 12th Avenues, using horizontal directional drilling and installing a new 6-inch watermain under the east shoulder. The resolution authorizes the mayor and the city administrator to execute documents necessary for the amendment.
The amendment was presented as a staff recommendation; the council carried the resolution by a unanimous yea vote of members present. The minutes record the scope change and the funding decrease but do not list a new total project budget or a contractor assignment.
The administrator’s report earlier in the meeting noted multiple ongoing infrastructure projects and coordination with MnDOT, but the minutes do not specify whether the grant change affects scheduling for other water or roadway work. The record does not state any required state approvals beyond execution of grant documents by the mayor and administrator.
