St. Louis Board of Public Service reads contract-extension recommendations, approves conditional uses and lists festival zones and emergency repairs
Summary
The board’s July 7 meeting included recommendations to extend two facility-management contracts (proposed ceilings of $35M and $55M), declaration of four festival zones for summer events, emergency-repair recommendations for Channel Rocks water treatment plant and smaller equipment repairs, and approval of several conditional-use applications.
At its July 7 meeting the St. Louis Board of Public Service’s agenda included contract-extension recommendations, a slate of special-event festival-zone declarations, emergency-repair recommendations and several conditional-use approvals.
The secretary read recommendations from the president and department directors proposing two contract amendments to extend facility-management agreements through July 31, 2027: an amendment to the contract with RJP Electric LLC that would increase the maximum not-to-exceed amount to $35,000,000, and an amendment to the contract with Integrated Facility Services Inc. that would increase the maximum not-to-exceed amount to $55,000,000. Those items were presented to the board as recommendations; the hearing transcript records the items on the agenda and the secretary’s reading but does not record a separate, itemized roll-call vote for each contract in the hearing excerpt.
From the Office of Special Events the board was asked to declare four special events as festival zones: Greater Pentecostal Church of God Community Day (Aug. 8 on Mimica Avenue), Air Smoke and Chrome Day Social (July 26 on Locust Street), a resource fair (Aug. 21–22 at Ruth Porter Mall) and the Cardinal’s Clean Zone series (Aug. 1–23 in a bounded downtown area). The secretary read dates, times and street limits for the events.
The directors also were asked to declare emergency action for several public-works needs, including purchase of supply and repair parts for three discharge valves at the primary building of the Channel Rocks water treatment plant (estimated $11,000), repairs to crew trucks (estimated $31,800) and repairs to a pipe-yard gate (estimated $5,150). The recommendations were presented as emergency actions from the director of public utilities.
Trey McCarter of the zoning office presented conditional-use recommendations under board order number 766. The board moved and voted to approve the conditional-use items as presented; Director Hayes moved to approve and Director Dace seconded, and the board announced the conditional uses were approved by roll-call.
These agenda items were read into the record by the board secretary as part of the consent/agenda materials. The transcript excerpt records the recommendations, the conditional-use motion and roll-call approvals, and the emergency and event descriptions; it does not include further departmental presentations or public testimony on these agenda items in the excerpt provided.
