Council approves multiple budgeted contracts including pier, generators and IT security purchases
Summary
On consent and action items the council approved several budgeted contracts: Elm Street Pier construction ($1,484,250), Martin Recreation Center waterproofing ($100,000), Edward King House standby generator ($190,230), IT penetration testing and camera systems, and architect services for the Florence Grama Center funded from a $2.9M pandemic recovery award shared with Middletown.
Council approved a series of procurement items that the city manager and department heads presented as budgeted purchases.
Votes included award of the Elm Street Pier construction contract to Reagan Marine Construction LLC for $1,484,250; waterproofing work at Martin Recreation Center for approximately $100,000; installation of a 200‑kW standby generator at Edward King House for $190,230; and smaller IT awards (penetration testing, cameras and door‑access equipment) totaling under $50,000. The council also approved an architect owner‑project manager contract for renovations of the Florence Grama Center; that work will be funded from a $2,900,000 Pandemic Recovery Program award shared between Newport and Middletown, with Newport serving as fiscal agent.
Councilors asked clarifying questions about project scope and interjurisdictional funding for the Florence Grama Center. Staff said the pandemic recovery award covers the architect allocation, and the city is the fiscal agent under a subaward agreement with the state.
