Swisher council to consider sewer maintenance program and $355,888 contractor pay application

The Swisher City Council on Monday will consider a proposed Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Program and a $355,888.17 pay application tied to the ongoing sanitary sewer project.

City staff will present an HR Green memo recommending that portions of the maintenance work be completed using remaining bond proceeds in Fund 330 (Capital Project–Division Street) and that the city solicit proposals for the identified maintenance areas. The agenda also lists Resolution 59-2024, described as approval of Pay Application #5 from Dave Schmitt Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of $355,888.17 for work completed through Aug. 30, 2024 on the Sanitary Sewer Project.

The maintenance program request would direct use of existing bond funds for a subset of sewer work; the agenda text does not specify which pipe segments or neighborhoods would be included. The pay application amount is stated in the agenda as $355,888.17. No vote outcomes or council directions are recorded in the agenda text provided.

If the council approves the funding authorization for the maintenance program, staff would be instructed to solicit proposals for the work and identify which areas will be completed with the remaining Fund 330 bond balance. If the council approves Resolution 59-2024, the action would authorize payment to the contractor for work through Aug. 30, 2024. The agenda does not list a scheduled public-comment synopsis or discussion details for these items.

The council is scheduled to take these items up during the regular meeting; the agenda does not record any final actions or votes.
