Committee reviews ordinance to bid Dawna Drive water-line replacement
Summary
The Public Service Committee reviewed an ordinance to advertise for bids and award a construction contract for the Dawna Drive Water Line Replacement, with change orders capped at 10% above the awarded bid and an emergency declaration to speed implementation.
The Public Service Committee reviewed an ordinance authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids and enter into a construction contract for the Dawna Drive Water Line Replacement project. The ordinance text in the packet limits change orders so the city's total obligation cannot exceed the awarded bid amount plus 10% and declares the measure an emergency to "improve water infrastructure."
The ordinance does not list a dollar amount for the project in the packet; it states the contract total "shall not exceed the amounts approved in the 2026 city budget." The legislation request is framed as an emergency measure, meaning the ordinance would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote of council; if it receives only a majority, it would take effect at the earliest time permitted by law. The committee packet includes the ordinance title and emergency language but does not record a committee vote in this transcript document.
