Council awards water-main loop and hydrant work at Lane Park for fire protection
Summary
The council approved a low-bid contract not to exceed $494,330 to install a water-main loop and hydrant lead at Lane Park to provide domestic service and fire protection for planned park buildings; the city engineer explained the scope and benefits.
Council approved the low bidder for a water-main improvement project at Lane Park, not to exceed $494,330, funded from the water supply system fund. The city engineer described the project as a northern property-line loop and an added hydrant so the fire department can provide protection for the entire park and new buildings.
Council members asked whether there was an existing hydrant (there was not) and the engineer confirmed that the loop also enables domestic service for anticipated park structures without drawing from adjacent properties. Funding was confirmed as local (Act 51/MTF), and staff said there was no federal component to the project.
Next steps: staff will execute the contract and schedule construction; council approved the award by voice vote.
