Sand Lake council authorizes bids for licensed operator after DEQ deadline
Summary
Facing a DEQ deadline, the Village of Sand Lake authorized soliciting bids from two licensed consultants—Flies & Vandenbrink and B&B—to serve as the operator-in-charge overseeing operations; council directed staff to hire the most advantageous bidder.
Council members discussed how to meet a Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (DEQ) requirement for a licensed operator-in-charge and agreed to seek bids from two consultants.
Dan Hula reported contact with Flies & Vandenbrink and with B&B of Moline. He said a DEQ representative has given the village until the coming Monday to resolve operator oversight. Council member Marcia Helton suggested contacting Michigan Rural Water; Hula said Cedar and Howard City would not be beneficial options.
Council member Chris Stieg moved to obtain bids from B&B and Flies & Vandenbrink and to hire whichever bid proved most advantageous; VanEtten supported the motion. The motion carried.
The minutes do not record contract amounts, selection criteria, or a formal procurement timetable; the action authorizes staff to collect competitive proposals and proceed to contract negotiation based on the most advantageous offer.
