Swisher council approves $30,027.58 credit to HR Green engineering contract for sewer project
Summary
The Swisher City Council approved Resolution 75-2024 to amend HR Green's engineering contract, applying a $30,027.58 credit to the sanitary sewer and lift project to cover disputed engineering fees the county declined to reimburse.
The Swisher City Council on Nov. 25 approved Resolution 75-2024 to amend HR Green's contract for engineering services on the sanitary sewer and lift project, applying a $30,027.58 credit to the contract.
Staff member (speaker 5) told the council the county declined to reimburse engineering time for 2019 and 2020 and that the amendment applies a credit to the sewer project so the city is "made whole" for disputed fees. "What we're doing is taking the total contract amount on the sewer project and dropping it by $30,027.58," the staff member said.
The amendment was presented as part of a package of adjustments tied to construction engineering and related invoices; staff said the credit will reduce the contract total and will appear in subsequent pay requests. After a brief explanation the council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
Why it matters: the change resolves a multi-year dispute over engineering reimbursements between the county and the city and adjusts accounting on a large public-works project, which will affect remaining bond/TIF balances allocated to the work.
The council did not add conditions to the amendment. The council proceeded to related agenda items about invoices and annexation that staff said will determine the town's near-term cash flow and available bond funds.
