Committee recommends bids and McMahon contract for Seymour wastewater upgrades

On Feb. 24, 2025 the City of Seymour Joint Committee of the Whole reviewed bids and a professional‑services agreement for upgrades to the city’s wastewater treatment facility and voted to forward recommendations to the Utility Board.

Tony Kapell of McMahon Associates presented a review of two bids received for Phase 1 of the wastewater treatment facility upgrades and recommended awarding the work. Alderperson Schaumberg moved that the committee recommend Resolution 2025‑113 to the City of Seymour Utility Board to approve the Phase 1 bid; Alderperson Krull seconded and the motion carried, according to the meeting record. The transcript does not report a vote tally or the winning bidder’s name or dollar amount.

Kapell also presented a professional services agreement for construction‑phase services and funding administration from McMahon Associates. Alderperson Hurkman moved that the committee recommend Resolution 2025‑112 to the City of Seymour Utility Board to approve that agreement; Alderperson Krull seconded and the motion carried. The committee’s action was a recommendation—final contract awards and any related funding decisions remain with the Utility Board and City Council as applicable.

No cost figures, contract terms, or the low‑bidder identity were recorded in the committee minutes. The next procedural step is consideration of Resolutions 2025‑113 and 2025‑112 by the City of Seymour Utility Board (and any related Council approvals if required).
