Warrenton authorizes bid and award process for downtown stormwater replacement up to $450,000
Summary
Public works described a ~383-foot stormwater pipe replacement in downtown Warrenton. The commission authorized advertising and awarding the project to the lowest responsive bidder for up to $450,000, contingent on budget availability; one commissioner abstained for a potential conflict.
Public works director Gorman asked the commission to authorize bidding and award of a downtown stormwater infrastructure project covering roughly 383 feet of new pipe at Southeast 1st Street and Anchors Avenue to address recurring flooding.
Gorman said crews' cleaning and inspection showed corrugated metal pipe rusted and flaking, and staff want to go to bid to get ahead of the rainy season. The commission authorized staff to advertise and award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder for an amount not to exceed $450,000, provided sufficient funds exist in the adopted fiscal year budget and capital improvement plan. One commissioner disclosed a potential conflict and abstained; the motion carried with four votes in favor and one abstention.
Staff said if bids come under budget they will move forward with the lowest responsible bid and proceed to construction scheduling to minimize future flooding risks in the area.
