City secures contractor help to offload docks, plans in‑house flotation testing
Summary
Lyda Contracting will offload dock sections into the lake parking lot on the 10th; staff said they will anchor and finish chain work with divers and will perform flotation testing internally to avoid additional contractor costs.
City administration reported that Lyda Contracting has agreed to offload the new docks into the Lake parking lot on the 10th and to help staff mount railings; after that staff will anchor the docks and complete chain work with a diver. The city said the contractor did not want to charge storage fees and that the arrangement will save costs.
On flotation testing and installation, staff said the city will handle tests itself and stood by the supplier’s fit‑checks for railings and bolts. “If five 200 pound men are standing on the gangplank, it’s still gonna be above water,” staff said after reviewing weight and flotation calculations. Councilors expressed relief the work can be done without further expensive contractor services.
