Saugatuck staff recommends Compton Inc. for lead service-line verification under $221,600 grant
Summary
City staff told the council the city received a $221,600 grant to verify lead service lines and recommended awarding the work to Compton Inc. for $166,140, which staff said fits the grant budget and meets inventory requirements.
Saugatuck staff reported at the Aug. 21 workshop that the city was awarded $221,600 to physically verify lead water-service lines and recommended contracting with Compton Inc. of South Haven for the work.
According to staff, the bid process concluded with a low bid that exceeded the budget; staff nevertheless recommended Compton Inc. in the amount of $166,140 as an award that remains within the grant amount and is sufficient to inventory the required number of service lines.
The presentation did not show a formal approval vote at the workshop; staff framed the recommendation to proceed with the contractor selection under the grant award and to move forward with the verification work.
Council discussion at the workshop did not record substantive objections to the staff recommendation; any formal contract award would be handled through the city’s procurement and approval processes.
