Council approves $1.5M amendment to complete Phase 1 of wastewater upgrade
Summary
Arcadia staff told council Phase 1 of the wastewater treatment upgrade is 99.8% complete but needs four critical fixes; council approved a $1.5 million contract amendment to Wildland Construction to finish emergency work, using grant funds and reserves.
City engineering staff told the council that Phase 1 of the Arcadia wastewater treatment facilities upgrade is essentially complete (about 99.8 percent), but that construction revealed several critical elements that need to be addressed before the next heavy winter. Staff recommended a $1,500,000 contract amendment to Wildland Construction to perform those improvements and said remaining grant funds could cover the work.
The city engineer described the work as mostly small items and four larger elements needing action before the winter rains; the council moved to approve the amendment and the motion passed unanimously. No public speaker registered opposition; staff noted the approach was intended to avoid emergency repairs later and to use grant funds where available.
