Tonkawa council tables public bid process for lagoon center‑pivot irrigation after engineering report
Summary
City Manager Nicholas Payne relayed Parkhill Engineering's report on the wastewater lagoons' center‑pivot irrigation system; the council elected to table opening a public bid process while staff gathers information on alternative solutions.
City Manager Nicholas Payne told the Tonkawa City Council at a Sept. 26 special session that Parkhill Engineering was unable to attend but had provided a report and recommendations on the center‑pivot irrigation system servicing the city's wastewater lagoons. The report was presented to council members in summary form by Payne; no Parkhill representative appeared in person.
After receiving Payne's account of the firm's findings, the council discussed whether to open a public bid process for contractors to replace the irrigation system. Council members decided to table the item pending further information about alternative solutions; no authorization to solicit bids was given at this meeting. "Parkhill Engineering was unable to attend but City Manager Nick Payne spoke with them, and he relayed their report and recommendations to the Council," the minutes state.
