Council approves Freedom quote for sewer plant roof repairs
Summary
Monrovia council accepted a staff-recommended quote from Freedom to repair the lab/blower building roofs at the wastewater treatment plant after staff reported significant aging and damage; Chair to contact contractor to schedule work.
Council members reviewed competing quotes to repair roofs at the wastewater treatment facility, including the lab building and the blower building. Staff noted the blower building roof dated to about 2001 and described damage to shingles and critical equipment housed inside (air compression and chemical systems).
A council member moved "that we accept the quote as provided by Freedom," and a second was recorded. The motion passed; the Chair said he would call the contractor to schedule work. Participants discussed insurance follow-up after a past lightning strike and the need to address the older blower-building roof promptly because of equipment vulnerability.
Council also discussed obtaining consolidated bids to ensure apples-to-apples comparisons for future small capital repairs.
Next steps: staff to coordinate scheduling with the selected contractor and confirm scope and start date.
