Council approves waterline change order ($246,304.73) and fire apparatus purchase (not to exceed $650,000)
Summary
Council approved Change Order No. 5 for the US Highway 80 waterline relocation project for $246,304.73 (to correct discovered utility discrepancies) and authorized purchase of a Rosenbauer Timberwolf type‑3 apparatus at up to $650,000 to replace an aging brush truck; delivery estimated ~18 months.
Staff presented Change Order No. 5 to complete remaining excavations and connections in the US Highway 80 waterline relocation project after field discoveries revealed discrepancies in existing lines; the requested amount was $246,304.73. Project consultants said this is expected to be the last change order and recommended approval; council approved the change order by motion.
The fire chief requested authorization for the town manager to execute a purchase contract for a Rosenbauer Timberwolf type‑3 apparatus (mini‑pumper/urban interface/rescue configuration) to replace a 2004 brush truck and provide multi‑role capability. The truck includes a 1,250 GPM pump and fits the FY26 budget authorization with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $650,000. Staff told council expected delivery is approximately 18 months (target December 2027) and the apparatus is expected to remain in service 15–20 years with proper maintenance. Council approved the purchase by motion.
