Council to consider $12,702 increase for Longbeach Force Main engineering
Summary
Council reviewed an ordinance to add $12,702 to the Chagrin Valley Engineering agreement for the Longbeach Force Main Improvement Project, raising the total engineering fee to $64,350; the additional charge is attributed to rebidding and unforeseen alignment and manhole issues, with funds from the Sewer Fund.
Council discussed a proposed ordinance to authorize an additional $12,702 for engineering services on the Longbeach Force Main Improvement Project, bringing Chagrin Valley Engineering's fee from $51,648 to $64,350.
Director of Public Service and Properties Mary Kay Costello said the project had been rebid and required extra engineering work because pipes and manhole conditions did not align as originally anticipated. She described the additional costs as "minimal and well-earned by Chagrin Valley Engineering" and said the funds would come from the city's Sewer Fund. Finance Committee members noted the 2026 budget did not include the extra amount but that sufficient funds are available in the account.
The ordinance to authorize the additional funds was placed on the Regular Meeting agenda for Council consideration; no final vote or formal approval was recorded at the Committee meeting.
