City awards Lindvig pump‑station upgrade contract and approves $135,000 budget amendment
Summary
Council awarded an $85,447.46 contract to Bainbridge Island Electric to repair the Lindvig pump station VFD and approved a $135,000 sewer‑fund budget amendment to cover the work and contingency.
The council voted to award the Lindvig pump‑station upgrade contract to Bainbridge Island Electric for $85,447.46 and approved a budget amendment for $135,000 to cover the project and contingencies from the sewer fund. Public works staff explained one of two variable frequency drives (VFDs) had burned out and the station had been operating on a single pump, posing operational risk.
Public works said they initially estimated $100,000 and received one formal bid from Bainbridge Island Electric at roughly $85,000; the city will fund the work using the planned $75,000 annual pump-station fund plus an additional $60,000 through the midyear adjustment. "It's important that we get this fixed now," the presenting staff member told council, noting redundancy is critical for sewer pump stations. The motion authorized the mayor to sign and approval included authority for change orders up to $10,000; the recorded vote was unanimous.
