Swisher approves sewer maintenance contract, a contract change order and several sewer-code updates
Summary
Council awarded a sanitary-sewer maintenance contract (apparent low responsive bid reported at $25,025.93), approved a change order increasing a sewer contract total, and adopted ordinances defining multifamily sewer/customer definitions and adding a multifamily sewer classification.
The Swisher City Council on Oct. 14 opened bids and approved a sanitary-sewer maintenance contract and related code updates.
City staff reported that several bidders were unresponsive to addenda and that the recommended responsive bid for the Fisher sewer maintenance work was $25,025.93; council moved and approved the contract award by roll-call vote. The engineer said the work includes the first four regions and cameras for the inspection scope.
Council also approved Resolution 65, a change order (number 3) from Dave Schmidt in the amount of $1,225.02, which the meeting record shows increased the sanitary-sewer project contract total (transcript figure reported $3,568,485.63). Council moved and approved the change order by roll-call vote.
On code updates, council considered three ordinances: Ordinance 8 (amending city code chapter 95 to define connection and dwelling unit and to identify each multifamily dwelling unit as a separate customer) and Ordinance 9 (amending chapter 99 to add a multifamily residential classification for sewer service charges). After first readings the council moved to waive second and third readings and approved both ordinance actions by roll-call votes.
Next steps: staff will proceed with contract administration for the awarded maintenance work, incorporate the ordinance changes into city code, and bring any follow-up budget or implementation details to council as needed.
