Ordinance would authorize design contract up to $600,000 for SSO reduction in Areas 6 and 8
Summary
Ordinance No. 26-068 (sponsored by Council Member Tom Stugmyer) would authorize the Director of Public Service to seek proposals and enter a contract for design services to reduce sanitary sewer overflows in SSO Areas 6 and 8, capping the contract at $600,000 and allowing change orders up to 10%.
Wadsworth City Council's published agenda includes Ordinance No. 26-068, sponsored by Council Member Tom Stugmyer, which would authorize and direct the Director of Public Service to advertise for, receive proposals for, and enter into a contract for design services for Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) reduction in SSO Areas 6 and 8.
The ordinance states: "The total price to be awarded pursuant to said contract shall not exceed $600,000.00." It also allows change orders "so long as the total financial obligation of the city pursuant to the contract including change orders does not exceed the awarded bid amount plus ten percent of the awarded bid amount." The measure is presented as an emergency to "expedite repairs and rehabilitation of sanitary sewers," according to the published text.
The agenda notes the item was discussed at Public Service on May 12, 2026. The published excerpt lists readings (1st reading May 19, 2026; 2nd reading June 2, 2026) but does not include a recorded final vote or the name of a contracting firm. The published materials therefore describe the authority being sought and a maximum contract amount but do not record an executed contract or procurement award.
If adopted, the ordinance would allow the city to begin soliciting design proposals for SSO mitigation in the named areas and to enter a design contract up to the $600,000 cap; the agenda excerpt does not describe the proposed scope of design work beyond the SSO-reduction purpose.
