Montrose council authorizes Xcel streetlight agreements, staff says capital funds cover overrun
Summary
Council authorized two Xcel Energy streetlight agreements covering Crystal Lane/1st Street North and the Lemerman Industrial area; staff reported one agreement at $173,051.98 and a second amount listed as 12350320 in the packet, and said capital funds will cover the increase over earlier estimates.
City Engineer Jared Bogie presented two Xcel Energy streetlight agreements for council authorization on March 9, saying the Crystal Lane/1st Street North package amounts to $173,051.98 and that a second agreement for the Lemerman Industrial area appears in the packet as "12350320." Jared said staff had originally budgeted roughly $208,000 and that additional capital funds will cover the higher final amounts.
Jared explained the contracts will be split by project area and that the vendor is finalizing design and a schedule after payment and agreement execution. "Once the payment is made and that they'll finalize the design, and then they'll get us a schedule," Jared said. Council authorized staff to execute the agreements by voice vote recorded as 4-0.
Council members asked for clearer estimating practices going forward so the city can better predict costs. Staff said completing this year's work will provide better data for subsequent project estimates.
