Council approves on-call water service-line contract with Wilkes Underground and adopts unit prices
Summary
Council authorized an on-call contract with Wilkes Underground for water meter and service-line installations and voted to record specific unit prices for different installation types; council approved the contract and unit prices unanimously.
Bel Aire approved an on-call contract to standardize pricing for water-meter and service-line installations for new homes and other connections.
Staff explained the contract sets a fixed unit price per installation rather than a lump-sum not-to-exceed amount, and recommended Wilkes Underground. Council debated whether to read each unit price into the public record. Councilmember Brandon McIntosh moved a submotion that listed unit prices; he read the prices and the council approved the submotion unanimously.
The unit prices McIntosh read into the record included a long 1-inch installation at $1,550 and a short 2-inch installation at $3,500; staff will apply those unit prices to individual installation quantities as houses are built and billed.
