Council approves series of routine task orders and resolutions, and authorizes wastewater and lift‑station work
Summary
At its March 23 meeting Mexico City Council approved engineering task orders for a TAP sidewalk grant, UV-disinfection upgrades at the wastewater plant, and a lift‑station control-panel replacement; each action was described by staff as budgeted or grant-funded.
The Mexico City Council approved several routine but consequential staff recommendations at its March 23 meeting: an engineering-services contract for TAP-funded sidewalks, a task order to upgrade ultraviolet disinfection modules at the wastewater plant, and a task order to replace a lift‑station control panel.
Staff said MoDOT awarded a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to fund sidewalk work on the west side of South Morris Street connecting the middle school area to Lakeview Park. Engineering Surveys & Services provided an estimate of $100,108.67 for preliminary and construction engineering; staff said the 2025–26 budget contains $405,584 allocated across TAP projects and recommended council authorize the engineering task resolution. The council approved the resolution (Bill 20‑26‑12) by roll call.
On wastewater, staff described a multi‑year program to replace UV disinfection system modules required by DNR for seasonal disinfection (April 1–Oct. 31). Lumix (task‑order vendor name recorded in packet) submitted a task order of $11,863.06 for power-control center cards and rewiring; combined with prior purchases, staff said the year’s UV work remains within the $26,000 line item budget. Council approved Bill 20‑26‑13 authorizing the task order.
Council also approved a related task order (Bill 20‑26‑14) with Lumix Electrical LLC to replace the control panel at the Highway 54 South Lift Station for $26,482.17; staff said this is part of a systematic plan to address electrical issues across the city’s 12 lift stations and that sufficient budget exists.
Staff framed all three approvals as either grant-funded (TAP) or budgeted planned purchases (wastewater and lift station), and the council voted to proceed with the contracts in each case. Council asked few substantive questions during these items; staff offered to answer questions about scope and cost breakdowns.
