Reed City Council approves $2.69 million in bills and multiple wastewater project change orders
Summary
At its Nov. 18 meeting the Reed City Council voted unanimously among members present to approve $2,693,306.09 in bills and a series of change orders for the wastewater treatment project, including a $277,400 DWSRF contract amendment for Gerber Construction. Funding sources were not specified in the minutes.
The Reed City Council on Nov. 18 approved payment of $2,693,306.09 in bills and a set of changes to an ongoing wastewater treatment project, actions the council said were needed to advance capital work.
Council records show the bills payment passed on a roll-call vote with council members Nicole Woodside, Dan Burchett, Mayor Roger Meinert, Trevor Guiles, Charles Lupo and Brad Nixon voting yes. The minutes do not specify which budget lines or reserves will cover the payments.
The council then took up a series of seven change-order items tied to the wastewater treatment plant project. Motions that passed by roll call included: approval of Overhead Door Electrical modifications for $31,049.00; acceptance of a credit for SBR Tank Aeration Diffuser installation for $111,273.00 (credit); Digester Supernatant Pump Station location modification for $160,038.00; Settlement Monitoring for $8,397.32; site lighting for $3,028.00; Headworks over-excavation for $25,178.00; and a water-main reroute for $45,493.00. Each item was recorded as carried with the six members present voting yes.
Separately, the council approved Change Order #3 on the DWSRF FY23 contract 855450-3 with Gerber Construction for $277,400.00, described in the minutes as adding 38 additional services to the contract. That motion also passed on a unanimous roll-call vote among members present.
Curt Brackenrich, listed in the minutes as WWTP supervisor, was among the department heads who filed reports; the minutes do not quote him on the change orders or identify a funding source for the additional contract amounts. The minutes record that change orders were accepted and that the contract amendment was approved; they do not include further detail about schedule impacts or estimates of total project cost after the changes.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the approved change orders and contract amendment will proceed as part of the project record. The minutes do not list a public hearing or additional council review specific to these change orders.
No members voted against the items recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not specify which line items or capital funds will cover the payments and change orders; that information is not specified and may appear in detailed project or budget documents.
