Bronson OKs design services for two sanitary sewer lift stations tied to $2.525M state loan package
Summary
Council authorized design services for two new sanitary sewer lift stations and force-main improvements after staff explained a $2.525 million package from the state revolving loan fund (approximately $2.02M loan at 1% and $505,000 principal forgiveness); staff recommended PR Newoff for design and Adam Marsh for oversight.
Bronson City Council authorized design services for construction of two sanitary sewer lift stations and related force-main improvements after staff outlined funding and recommended consultants.
Staff said the city expects to receive approximately $2.525 million from the state revolving loan fund for the project, with about $2.02 million as a 1% interest loan and roughly $505,000 as principal forgiveness. Staff recommended contracting PR Newoff, which had already completed some design work, to finish design services and advised using Adam Marsh or ABAM for construction oversight and project management.
Why it matters: Upgrading lift stations and force mains addresses aging sewer infrastructure and is linked to state funding; the mix of low-interest loan and principal forgiveness reduces the net local cost but requires compliance with loan conditions and procurement rules.
Council moved and approved design services so staff can proceed to bid and construction phases, with the recommended consultants handling design and oversight during initial project phases.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contracts for design, manage bidding and report back to council as the project advances into procurement and construction oversight.
