Summary

Staff recommended awarding a $50,000 sewer-system extension study for Fleischmann Piers to Barton and Le Judas after interviewing two specialized firms; the study aims to extend sewer service to support larger boats and long-term restroom facilities.

Carol reported that the city received a $50,000 grant for a sewer extension study for Fleischmann Piers intended to support larger boats and eventual restroom facilities on the pier. The city issued an RFP and received two specialized responses; staff said Barton and Le Judas demonstrated stronger project-management approach and recommended pursuing the study with them.

Carol described technical complexities of sewer work at the pier and said both firms were qualified; staff favored the firm that provided the clearest understanding of the infrastructure and the decision-making steps required. Council asked whether price differences were significant; staff said the award was for $50,000 and the recommendation was driven by approach and systems knowledge rather than price.
