Council moves to recommend Yoders Construction for wastewater pole barn after no bidders appear
Summary
After a no-show at bid opening for the wastewater pole barn, the Wanatah Town Council moved to recommend Yoders Construction; Public Works reported the overall wastewater project is about $205,513 under budget and a $7,500 surge pump was added to equipment needs.
The Wanatah Town Council on July 2 moved to recommend Yoders Construction to build the pole barn portion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant project after no bidders appeared for that portion of the bid opening.
Public Works Superintendent Chuck Mack told the council that Lou from the town's engineering firm did not attend the bid opening because a family member had died, and that Yoders Construction was the recommended contractor. Mack reported the overall wastewater project is approximately $205,513 under budget and that the department purchased a surge pump for $7,500 to add to the equipment list.
The council’s motion to accept the engineering recommendation was made by Vice President Newburn and seconded by Councilman LaFoone. The minutes record subsequent procedural action on the recommendation but do not include a roll-call tally specific to that motion within the transcript segment provided.
The pole barn award is tied to the broader wastewater treatment plant procurement; Mack noted Yoders had previously taken a bid related to the wastewater treatment plant, which influenced the recommendation. The project budget balance and the added surge pump were discussed as part of staff updates about construction and equipment needs.
