Staff: Southern detention pond bids open Aug. 19; Pasadena handling awards
Summary
Staff told the La Porte committee the 100-acre-foot southern detention pond project is out for bid with openings Aug. 19 and awards expected in September, and that Pasadena will manage the bidding under the interlocal agreement; an attendee questioned whether there is room to reuse excavated soil on a nearby site.
City staff updated the committee on the proposed 100-acre-foot southern detention pond, saying the project is out for bid and that "Bids will be open on August 19," with awards likely to occur in September. Staff stated the bidding and award process is the responsibility of Pasadena under the amended interlocal agreement and that the committee has no role in the bid selection.
A committee member and other attendees raised logistical questions about the contractor's plan to place excavated soil nearby, noting limited space adjacent to the convention center/Red Bluff area. One attendee said, "There ain't a whole heck of a lot of space over there," and staff agreed the shortened travel time would reduce truck miles but questioned whether the area could receive the full volume of spoil.
