Council approves wastewater screen procurement; engineer says six-month lead time
Summary
Council approved contracting Hubert Technologies for a wastewater treatment plant screen and moved several KIA-funded requisitions; the city engineer said the screen has a six-month lead time and may not arrive until late January.
The council approved a requisition and award related to the Jenkins wastewater treatment plant screen, with the chair noting the screen purchase is covered under a grant. The meeting packet identified the vendor award to Hubert Technologies; the motion to approve the screen requisition passed by voice vote.
Harold, the attending engineer, told the council the screen has a lengthy manufacturing lead time. "There's a 6 month lead time on that screen," he said, and added the screen likely will not be received until the end of January; staff plan to issue bid documents late this fall so contractors can prepare submittals and be ready when the equipment arrives.
Why it matters: procuring the screen is a critical step in the wastewater-treatment improvements and affects project schedule and contractor readiness. The council also later approved a KIA-funded wastewater improvement requisition (requisition certificate number 3) for $45,337 at the same meeting, which staff said is for the wastewater treatment improvements.
What’s next: staff will proceed with procurement activities and present subsequent requisitions and construction schedules to council as deliveries and approvals progress.
