Portal council hears Clean Water SRF application, approves CDBG gas bid dates
Summary
Resident Patrick Samson told the council he applied for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund; the council approved CDBG gas bid opening dates contingent on MDU confirmation and expects to bid the gas project within weeks and the sewer project in January.
The Portal City Council on Nov. 12 heard that resident Patrick Samson applied for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program on behalf of the city and approved dates to open bids for a CDBG-funded gas project pending confirmation from MDU.
Why it matters: The council's actions set the procurement timeline for two infrastructure projects — a gas line project funded through a CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) allocation and a future sewer bid tied to Clean Water funding — which affect project schedules and when construction work can begin.
At the meeting, Patrick Samson reported he had applied to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program for the city. Council members voted unanimously to approve CDBG gas bid opening dates with the condition that MDU confirm details; Kenneth Evenson made the motion and Tamara Rudland seconded it. Council discussion noted the gas project is expected to be bid in the next couple of weeks and the sewer project is being targeted for bidding in January.
The council did not record further details about proposed project scopes, estimated costs, or specific CDBG award amounts in the minutes. The motion to approve bid dates carried "all in favor, motion carried."
