Council selects Orbis for EPA historic review, resubmits second water grant and installs pump
Summary
Council approved Orbis Environmental Consulting for a required National Historic Preservation study ($2,105), reported resubmission of a paused second water grant, and confirmed installation of a new 750‑mp pump as part of the first grant.
Council member Mike Mumper provided an update on the village's water projects at the March 14 meeting, saying the second water grant had to be resubmitted after Congress paused grant awards. Merritt Engineering is completing the Project Plan for the first water grant, and Mumper said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires a National Historic Preservation review to confirm the village has no above‑ground historic or architectural resources.
Two quotes were presented for the study: Merjent at $7,450 and Orbis Environmental Consulting at $2,105. The council approved Orbis' $2,105 proposal. Mumper also reported that a new 750‑mp pump has been installed in the pump house as part of the first grant and that he hopes a water contract with Grand Beach will be ready by the April meeting.
The council's approval of the lower‑cost environmental consultant was recorded as a motion and passed. The motion and the EPA review requirement are procedural steps to keep the project eligible for federal funding.
