Council awards $444,444.44 contract to replace problem waterlines on Lucky and James streets
Summary
A $444,444.44 bid from J & M Construction to replace aging waterlines on Lucky Street and James Street was approved; staff said the project was under the 2025 bond allocation and will primarily benefit about 30 customers in the area.
Council approved a bid award to J & M Construction for $444,444.44 to replace problematic waterlines on Lucky Street and James Street. City staff said the lines had sediment issues that affected water clarity at local properties, and the replacement was part of the 2025 bond program.
Kevin Bronson explained the scope: the work will run from Windsor past the senior center and include sections of Highland. He said the project was under the budgeted amount set aside in the 2025 bond and that the Rosier Group recommended approval. "That line will go just past the senior center ... It is under budget from what we had set aside for this project," Bronson said.
Councilors noted the project will mainly serve about 30 customers along that stretch. The measure passed by voice vote after staff described the bids and recommended the low bidder based on the Rosier Group's review.
Why it matters: Replacing aging waterlines addresses recurring service problems and water-quality complaints for customers on Lucky and James streets. The cost is sizable relative to the small number of direct customers served, a point councilors emphasized during discussion.
