Council approves $797,500 waterline and resurfacing contract for north neighborhood streets
Summary
The council awarded a contract to Newman Construction to replace waterlines and resurface 850/900/950 North and Madison Lane; the project exceeded its original $625,000 plan and will require a future budget amendment.
Staff explained that the 850/900/950 North and Madison Lane project will replace an aging 6-inch cast-iron waterline and repave the road; the original plan anticipated in-house work, but recent breaks and discovery of cast-iron pipe increased scope. Newman Construction was the low bidder at $797,500; staff noted the change in scope means a future budget amendment will be required.
Council member moved and seconded the award to Newman Construction; the motion passed. Staff emphasized this project addresses repeated waterline breaks and that executing the full contract now avoids repeated emergency repairs later, but it will require council approval of the corresponding budget amendment before funds are reallocated.
