Lawrence City utility board approves task order reducing 71st Street lift station contract by $31,007
Summary
At its June meeting the Lawrence City Utility Service Board approved a task order implementing change order No. 2 that reduces the 71st Street lift station rehabilitation contract with Performance Pipelining Inc. by $31,007.03; staff also reported other sewer projects in progress.
The Lawrence City Utility Service Board, meeting in June 2026, voted to approve a task order to implement change order No. 2 for the 71st Street lift station rehabilitation project, reducing the contract price by $31,007.03.
Paul, the utilities superintendent, told the board the change order lowers the original contract price from $805,797.76 to $774,790.73. "This is gonna be for a reduction in the total contract price of $31,007.03," he said, adding that "we came in under on that project." The board moved and seconded the task order and approved it by voice vote; the transcript does not provide a numerical roll-call tally.
In his report, Paul also said the 46th Street and Post Road inflow and infiltration reduction project began last week with subcontractors cleaning and televising pipe in areas slated for lining, and that phase 3 of the Fort Harrison Collection Systems capacity improvements had completed punch-list items and is awaiting final paperwork from the engineer and contractor before formal closeout.
At the start of the meeting the board approved the minutes of the regular June 9, 2026, meeting and authorized payment of claims. Both actions were moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote; the transcript records aye and nay responses but does not list a full vote tally for either action.
The board recorded no account adjustments, no public remonstrations regarding a disconnect notice, and no citizens present for public comment. The meeting then adjourned.
