Council approves task orders for street, downtown parking and overlay projects
Summary
Council authorized multiple engineering and construction-management task orders: $40,000 (not-to-exceed) for preliminary work on 2027 street/utility projects (including lead service replacements), $31,000 for downtown parking and rapid-flash beacon construction management, and $16,500 for the Linda Trail North overlay; funding sources include state aid and planned capital funds.
City engineer Brian presented three task orders. The council authorized an hourly not-to-exceed $40,000 task order for preliminary field work (topo, survey, soils) on the 2027 street and utility projects, which will support lead and galvanized service-line replacements and pursue state funding programs for lead-line replacement. Brian also presented a $31,000 task order (including $7,000 for testing) for construction management and inspection on the downtown parking lot and rapid flashing beacon project, and a $16,500 task order (including $3,350 testing) for construction management of the Linda Trail North mill/overlay (a state aid project). All task orders were described as within the project's engineering budgets and were approved by council.
Councilors emphasized the importance of early public engagement on project timing and noted potential funding opportunities, including recently approved state bonding for lead-line replacement. Staff will proceed with preliminary work and prepare construction-phase documents as scheduled.
What happens next: Engineering proceeds on preliminary and construction management tasks, staff pursues funding for lead-line replacement and schedules public engagement.
