Council authorizes 2025 sewer‑lining work order after vendor presentation
Summary
After a presentation from a project representative, the council authorized the mayor to sign a work order with Bros Engineering Inc. for a 2025 sewer‑lining project estimated at about $304,533; council approved the motion on a roll call vote and discussed a joint powers fiscal‑agent arrangement and next steps.
The council voted to authorize the mayor to sign a work order with Bros Engineering Inc. to perform sewer lining work estimated at roughly $304,533 for the 2025 project. Brad, a presenter who identified himself at the meeting, said the revised scope and a reinstatement of some service‑line connections produced a bid figure “right at 304,533” and that the team had tried to match the city’s budget target. "We were targeting for right around 300,000," Brad said during his presentation.
Councilors discussed the project’s scale, regional partners and contracting mechanics. Brad said the plan relies on combining work across communities so a contractor will have enough footage to make a multi‑community contract attractive; he said HydroKleen (the firm that performed previous lining) has signaled interest in returning. He also described a planned joint powers agreement and a fiscal‑agent arrangement that would hold bid bonds and act on behalf of participating communities to execute the contract.
A council member moved to authorize the mayor to sign the work order; the motion was seconded and carried on roll call. The council instructed staff to finalize the joint powers paperwork and proceed with the fiscal‑agent arrangements so bidding can be completed and the contractor engaged.
The project now moves to contract finalization and bid execution steps; staff will report updates back to the council as procurements and intergovernmental agreements are completed.
