Board approves Midwestern Engineers contract for field lift station improvements
Summary
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a contract with Midwestern Engineers Incorporated for field lift station improvements; the base contract does not include construction inspection but the company offered inspection as additional engineering work.
The Board of Public Works and Safety voted April 28, 2025, to approve a contract with Midwestern Engineers Incorporated to design field lift station improvements.
A Midwestern representative introduced company staff and said Derek would be the engineer assigned to the project. The presenter told the board that design work is included in the contract but "the only thing ... that's not in there is inspection," and that inspection could be provided later through additional engineering if the board wanted spot inspections during construction.
Councilman Bell moved to approve the contract, which the board approved by voice vote. The presenter said the contract language had been adjusted following a review by Tim and that the contract aligns with the financing package planned for the project. The transcript records the company offering to leave copies of the contract with the board and to return signatures as needed.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; approval was recorded by voice. The contract's omission of construction inspection in the base scope is a notable implementation detail: staff or board members will need to decide whether to add inspection work as a separate task or contract amendment during construction.
