Cochran council authorizes purchase of wastewater filtration systems for about $198,000
Summary
The council amended the agenda and approved purchasing new filtration systems from Aqua-Aerobic Systems Inc., to be installed by CCNA for approximately $198,000; the City Manager also noted a separate need to replace filters at the wastewater treatment plant.
The Cochran City Council amended its agenda and approved an added item on March 11 to purchase new filtration systems from Aqua-Aerobic Systems Incorporated, to be installed by CCNA, at an approximate cost of $198,000.
Council Member Shane Savant moved to add the purchase to the agenda; Council Member Carla Coley seconded the motion to amend. The subsequent motion to purchase was moved by Savant and seconded by Coley; the council approved the item unanimously.
City Manager Richard Newbern had earlier said the city needs to replace filters at the wastewater treatment plant, a maintenance need that aligns with the tonight's procurement action. The agenda language states the equipment and installation will be provided by Aqua-Aerobic Systems and CCNA and estimates the combined cost at about $198,000.
Why it matters: Replacing aging filtration equipment and completing upgrades can be essential to maintaining permit compliance and wastewater treatment reliability. The council approved the purchase at the meeting after adding it to the agenda by motion.
Next steps: Procurement and installation to proceed under the contract terms; staff did not provide a detailed schedule or funding source in the meeting record.
