Council approves a set of procurement and payment items, rejects one over‑budget bid
Summary
Council awarded a $227,000 recoating contract for the East Tank (low bid), retained a local audit firm for FY2026 audit, rejected dispatch furniture bids as over budget, and approved final contractor payment for Stockade Road totaling $36,407.50 to be submitted for state reimbursement.
The council approved several procurement items and payments during the meeting. Utilities superintendent Tory Zuver recommended awarding the interior recoating contract for the East Tank to Cunningham Sandblasting & Painting (low bid $227,000) with Maguire Iron as the alternate; JEO Consulting had provided a recommendation letter and vetting for the bidders.
For audit services the staff recommended retaining local firm Casey Peterson, which submitted the low responsive bid, to audit the City for the fiscal year ending 09/30/2026; staff noted the FY2026 audit will include a single‑audit because of a fire‑truck grant. On a separate procurement item, Police Chief Rick Hickstein asked the council to reject all bids received for dispatch‑furniture replacement because only one bidder met specifications and that price exceeded the city's budget; the council approved rejection so staff can rebid with revised procurement steps. The council also approved Contractor's Application for Payment No. 3 (final) for the Stockade Road improvement project in the amount of $36,407.50; staff said the amount is fully reimbursable by the state and will be submitted for payment.
