Council approves FEMA PA3 closeout signature and awards $12,550 debris-removal contract for Heman Park
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to sign a FEMA PA3 closeout for project DR-4490 (COVID-related funds) and approved a $12,550 contract to remove storm debris from Heman Park after receiving three bids; Council Member Clay questioned bid disparities and staff confirmed contractor scope.
The University City Council approved two consent items affecting post-storm recovery and federal grant closeout. Council authorized the mayor to sign a Missouri FEMA PA3 form to close out project 4490 (DR-O), and approved a contract to remove storm debris from Heman Park after receiving three bids.
Finance Director Keith Cole told the council the FEMA closeout relates to COVID work and said, "we've received around $99,000 from the COVID project back in 2021," and that the PA3 signature is part of the required closeout process. Council Member Clay noted a resident question and said the receipt in 2021 illustrates how slowly some state and federal closeouts proceed.
On the Heman Park debris contract, Mr. Rose reported three bids were received and recommended the lowest responsive bidder (identified in the staff report as Agra cycle) at $12,550. Council Member Clay asked whether the low bid matched the scope when the low figure is far below others; staff replied the contractor confirmed the price and that the company will "provide grind up and haul service for that pile of debris in the Heman Park." The council approved the contract by voice vote (motion by Council Member Fuller; second by Council Member McMahon). No roll-call tallies were read aloud at the meeting.
Both items were approved as part of consent/manager items; council did not request a separate vote or additional study at the time.
