Myrtle Creek council approves emergency stormwater repairs and awards $30,200 contract
Summary
The Myrtle Creek City Council on April 7 approved emergency repairs to a stormwater line, authorized purchase of replacement pipe and awarded a $30,200 contract to Black Pearl Paving & Excavating for repairs at 1421 N. Myrtle; bids for Lenorland subdivision repairs are still pending.
The Myrtle Creek City Council on April 7 authorized emergency repairs to a damaged stormwater line and approved the purchase of replacement storm pipe, voting to award a $30,200 contract to Black Pearl Paving & Excavating for repairs at 1421 N. Myrtle.
Public Works Superintendent Zach Potter told the council the recent heavy runoff "eroded and washed away the backfill from around the stormwater lines and caused the asphalt to lift and then collapse back onto the stormwater line," creating an immediate need for repairs. City Administrator Lonnie Rainville presented a cost estimate from Pacific Corregate Pipe for pipe to address damage at both the N. Myrtle site and the Lenorland subdivision; the estimate in the minutes is listed as $38,058.
Rainville told council members that, as of the meeting, the city had received contractor bids only for the N. Myrtle repair. Two bids were noted in the record: one from D & S Custom Concrete & Construction and a low bid from Black Pearl Paving & Excavating "coming in at $30,200," according to the minutes. Councilor Diana Larson asked whether the city had received a bid from Knife River.
Councilor Rick Held moved to approve purchase of storm pipe to complete repairs at 1421 N. Myrtle and the Lenorland subdivision in the amount of $38,059 and to approve a contract with Black Pearl in the amount of $30,200 to facilitate repairs at 1421 N. Myrtle. The motion, seconded by Councilor Cathey Wragg, passed with Councilors Diana Larson, Cathey Wragg and Rick Held voting yes.
The minutes record both a $38,058 pipe estimate (from Pacific Corregate Pipe) and a $38,059 amount in the motion; the record does not reconcile that one-dollar difference. The record also does not specify the funding source for the pipe purchase or the contract. City staff said they will return with bids for the Lenorland subdivision once those bids are received.
Council President Robert Chaney adjourned the emergency meeting at 5:10 p.m.
