Board approves $26,900 amendment for Kenosha Well Field PFAS engineering
Summary
The Board of Awards approved a $26,900 amendment to Tate and Howard’s engineering contract for the Kenosha Well Field PFAS final design, citing work outside the original scope of a prior $360,100 award; the motion passed unanimously.
Chip Volker, the purchasing agent who opened the Board of Awards meeting on May 13, presented and moved approval of an amendment to the engineering services contract for the Kenosha Well Field PFAS final design.
Volker said the board previously awarded engineering services for the Kenosha Well Field to Tate and Howard under an Encore contract “not to exceed $360,100,” and that public utilities submitted a proposal dated April 10, 2026, requesting $26,900 for additional work outside the original scope. “This is for additional engineering services in the amount of $26,900, and this is for work that is outside the original scope,” Volker said.
Volker moved to award the additional $26,900 to Tate and Howard; the motion was seconded (the record cites “Seconded by Miss Prontin”) and, after a roll-call-style affirmation that included Ken Higgins saying he voted in favor, “the motion carries unanimously,” the record shows. The board did not record a numerical vote tally in the transcript.
The amendment covers design work described by staff as outside the original contract scope; the board did not specify an implementation schedule or named project milestones during the discussion. The board took no other action on the item at the meeting.
The board moved on to a second procurement item and then adjourned.
