Caney authorizes $29,703.69 payment to Midwest Engineering for 55% design work
Summary
Council authorized payment of Invoice 3 to Midwest Engineering for $29,703.69, representing 55% design completion; staff said prior payments of $226,599.50 were current and that SRF funding — not CDBG grant money — could be used for the invoice due to earlier bidding issues.
Staff presented Invoice 3 from Midwest Engineering, explaining it represents 55% design work for the project and includes additional charges that fall within the expected contract scope. The invoice total was $29,703.69; staff noted $226,599.50 had already been paid and that billing was current.
Mayor Joshua D. Elliott asked whether grant funds could cover the invoice. Staff said grant money could not be used because of poor bidding at the project's start, but that State Revolving Fund (SRF) financing could be used. Council President Jeff Culver moved to authorize payment of Invoice 3 and Council Member Elizabeth Burch seconded; the motion carried 3-0.
The council did not alter the contract scope at the meeting; staff directed the council to page two of the invoice for additional detail and will proceed with the payment authorization as approved.
