Vendor says contracts signed; preliminary engineering done for Chantico water grant
Summary
A contractor reported contracts and a preliminary engineering report are complete for the CDBG water project, will visit the reservoir this Thursday, and advised council on grant compliance steps required before payments can be made.
Councilors and the vendor discussed steps needed to move a CDBG-funded water project toward construction. Staff reported water levels steady at about 8.2; the water grant requires the city to adopt specific administrative items before grant payments can be released.
A vendor on Zoom said contracts were signed and preliminary engineering is complete, and he planned to visit the reservoir site and pressure-tank locations on Thursday. He told the council he has not seen instances where a city that later disincorporated had to repay grant funds, but advised the council to check with the funding agency about repayment risk. The vendor offered to provide the preliminary engineering report to the council the next day and to assist with initial CDBG submittal requirements at no charge.
Councilors agreed to add required grant language (e.g., fair-housing and accessibility stipulations) and to place the items on the workshop agenda so the city can meet grantor conditions and authorize payment to the engineer when those conditions are satisfied.
