Holly Hills board hires contractor to clear manholes before Denver paving, approves $110,327.63 in bills
Summary
The Holly Hills Water and Sanitation District board authorized Ramey Environmental Compliance for up to $4,000 to clear manholes ahead of a City and County of Denver paving project and approved $110,327.63 in accounts payable, including large payments to Metro Wastewater Recovery and Element Engineering.
The Holly Hills Water and Sanitation District Board voted May 20 to hire Ramey Environmental Compliance, Inc. for up to $4,000 to clear manholes and follow the paver during a City and County of Denver paving project.
District manager Justin Janca told the Board that Denver will mill streets 2 inches and place 2–2.5 inches of asphalt, which will leave District manholes covered by roughly 0.5 inch of asphalt and require clearing to maintain access. "The result is District manholes being covered by 0.5" of asphalt," Janca said. Ramey representative Mike Murphy told the Board jetting is underway elsewhere and that Ramey has resources available; he gave an estimated cost of $4,000 for four days of the requested work.
On a motion by Director Thomas Thomasson, seconded by Director Scott Kemmeries, the Board unanimously authorized the engagement of Ramey Environmental Compliance, Inc. for the paving-support work, not to exceed $4,000.
Separately, the Board approved accounts payable totaling $110,327.63. Finance lead Mike Bakarich said the higher-than-normal bills include a $78,630.25 payment to Metro Wastewater Recovery and $12,172.07 to Element Engineering. "Year-to-date revenue is $420,173," Bakarich said elsewhere in his report, and the District's cash-on-hand is $2,119,975.73.
The actions were routine and carried unanimously by the three directors present. The meeting record shows no public comment on the matters and the Board adjourned after accepting the financial statements and cash position for the period ending April 30, 2026.
Next steps include the District coordinating with Denver crews on manhole access during paving and Ramey beginning the clearing work once the City and County of Denver schedule is finalized.
