La Cygne council approves water‑treatment bid package, awards construction contingent on funding
Summary
Bids for the city’s water treatment plant arrived in October; council recommended Shelley Electric’s package and approved the project manuals and pre‑construction steps pending funding concurrence from state or federal lenders.
The city moved from planning to procurement for a long‑planned water treatment upgrade after receiving competitive bids and completing engineer review.
BG Consultants presented results of the October bid opening and engineering review. After evaluating base bids and alternates, the engineer recommended accepting Shelley Electric’s submitted package for the treatment plant work, including planned alternates. The recommendation and project manuals were delivered to the council with the city attorney’s review; the council authorized mayoral signature on the construction manuals once funding agencies concurred with award conditions.
City officials reminded residents that the plant work follows required KDHE reviews and federal/state funding conditions. A pre‑construction meeting is scheduled after financing is firm and contracts are executed. "Plans were submitted to KDHE," the project file noted earlier in the year, summarizing the regulatory step that enabled the bid package to be advertised.
What’s next: the city and BG Consultants will finalize contractor agreements when USDA/RD or other funding concurrence is received, then schedule a pre‑construction meeting and start a phased on‑site construction schedule designed to preserve service.
