Solid‑waste division asks board to accept low bidder after storm‑pipe and floor repairs raise cost
Summary
Solid Waste Division reported a low bidder but told the board the project is roughly $106,000–$108,000 over prior estimates after crews found a 4‑inch stormwater pipe needing about 100 feet of replacement and a damaged section of tipping floor; staff recommended using division reserves and accepting the low bid (Johnson Construction).
Brian, the Solid Waste Division presenter, told the board a routine camera inspection this spring found the site’s stormwater pipe was only 4 inches in diameter and that roughly 100 feet of that pipe needs to be replaced and tied into the city stormwater system to address winter freezing and summer drainage problems. He also reported a separate section of tipping‑floor concrete had deteriorated rebar and needs repair; together those items raised the project total approximately $106,000–$108,000 above earlier estimates.
Brian asked the board to approve the low bidder (Johnson Construction) and said the additional cost would come from the division’s reserves. Commissioners acknowledged the issue and indicated the funding from reserves was acceptable; the board did not take a recorded formal vote during this portion of the meeting, and the matter was acknowledged for action on the regular agenda.
