Council approves HDR task order for Well No. 12 and GBA task order to update stormwater plan
Summary
Council approved task order 13 with HDR to design replacement Well No. 12 (staff cited a transferred federal grant offset of about $940,000) and task order 10 with George Butler Associates for $14,500 to update the stormwater pollution prevention plan so the wastewater treatment plant complies with KDHE permits.
City engineer Joe presented a request for task order 13 with HDR to design replacement Well Number 12, noting the well sits on the north side of the Kansas River and that the additional capacity will move the system toward roughly 8,000,000 gallons per day to match treatment capacity. Staff said a federal grant transfer will offset about $940,000 of construction costs, reducing the city's net share.
Council member moved and seconded the motion to approve the HDR task order (amount stated in the staff presentation as $216,608 in the motion), and the mayor announced the motion "carries." Later, staff requested approval of task order 10 with George Butler Associates for $14,500 to update the SWIP for the new wastewater treatment plant to meet KDHE permit requirements; the council approved that motion on roll call as well. City staff emphasized the updates are required for regulatory compliance and to avoid potential fines or notices from KDHE.
Both task orders were approved by motion and roll call; project plans and implementation details will be handled by staff and the city administrator.
