Pleasanton council approves $30,000 engineering contract to shore up water plant roof and pursue backup supply
Summary
Council voted unanimously to hire BG Consultants for $30,000 in engineering services to shore up or replace the water plant filter building roof and begin steps to obtain a backup water supply, after a consultant outlined costs and options.
The Pleasanton City Council voted unanimously Feb. 17 to hire BG Consultants for $30,000 in engineering work to shore up the existing roof on the city's water plant filter building and to begin planning for a backup water supply.
Jason Hoskinson of BG Consultants told the council the engineering work would examine options and cost estimates for both repairing the current structure and for replacing it. He outlined funding pathways and a likely project timeline, and said a backup supply would require additional steps beyond the roof work.
Councilmember Bowley moved to enter into the contract; Councilmember Haynes seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. City Administrator Becky Hegwald presented the contract and the council directed staff to proceed with the engineering scope described by BG Consultants.
The contract is intended to produce engineering recommendations and cost estimates; no construction contract was awarded at the meeting. Hoskinson and councilmembers discussed potential funding sources generally but did not commit specific grants or named funding at the meeting. The council asked staff to return with further details and cost estimates once the consultant's work is complete.
The council had earlier approved routine financial items, and the water plant decision was taken as part of the council's consent to move forward with capital planning.
