Utility board recommends $662,170 JEO contract for lead service line replacement consulting
Summary
The Fremont Utility and Infrastructure Board voted 4-0 to recommend the City Council approve a $662,170 contract with JEO for consulting on lead service line replacement; the water/wastewater superintendent presented the proposal and answered board questions.
The Fremont Utility and Infrastructure Board on June 30 recommended the City Council approve a $662,170 contract with JEO for consulting services to support a lead service line replacement program.
Eric Fuhrmeister, water/wastewater superintendent, gave the board an overview of the proposed consulting agreement and answered members’ questions before the board voted. Member Fryklind moved the recommendation and Member Wilson seconded; the motion to recommend Resolution 2026-164 authorizing the mayor to sign the contract passed 4-0 with Member Bolton absent.
The action recorded the contract amount ($662,170) and the board’s unanimous recommendation to forward the matter to City Council for final approval. The meeting record shows staff provided an overview and responded to questions but does not specify implementation timelines, funding sources, or the number of service lines targeted in the consulting scope.
The board’s recommendation is advisory; final contract approval and any related funding decisions will occur at a future City Council meeting.
