Turtle Lake reports sewer-lining work complete; final walkthrough set and liquidated damages withheld
Summary
Moore Engineering told the City Commission that all sewer liners have been installed under the USDA-funded project, a final walkthrough is scheduled March 13, 2026, and liquidated damages are being withheld while the commission discusses the hold amount.
Moore Engineering reported to the Turtle Lake City Commission on March 9 that installation of sewer liners under the USDA sewer-lining project is complete and a final walkthrough is scheduled for March 13, 2026, at 1 p.m. The firm noted that liquidated damages are being withheld from the contractor, and commissioners discussed how much should be retained.
Alexis Nienow, identified in the meeting attendance as a Moore Engineering representative, provided the project update and said an updated schedule for Phase 2 of the sewer CDBG project will be provided once a start date is known. The minutes record that all liners have been installed and the city has set the walk-through date; no formal vote on the withheld amount was recorded.
The commission did not take a final funding or withholding action at the March 9 meeting; staff and the engineering firm were directed to report back with details needed to determine the appropriate amount to retain for liquidated damages. The final walkthrough will allow the city to inspect completed work before any remaining administrative or contract actions are finalized.
