Council approves 900 East reconstruction contract after debate on scope; vote includes one dissent
Summary
Council approved Resolution 25-16 to award the 900 East Reconstruction project, a full rebuild including waterline, sewer and storm drain work. Staff described the project scope and engineers' estimates; the roll-call vote recorded one "no."
Councilors approved Resolution 25-16 to proceed with the 900 East Reconstruction Project, a full rebuild that includes removing existing asphalt and replacing water, sewer and storm infrastructure.
Mr. Anderson (speaker 9) outlined the scope: "They're gonna go through, remove all the asphalt, water line's gonna be replaced, some storm drain, and some sewer." He walked through engineer estimates and bid components and said the engineer's estimate for the waterline portion was roughly $1.05 million; the bid package for the full project came in higher in aggregate compared with early estimates. Councilors asked whether the contract includes specified contingency items and whether the city should split the road portion from utility work; staff explained the contract includes the listed elements and recommended moving forward.
At roll call the resolution passed; minutes record one councilor voting "no" while the majority voted to approve the contract. Staff said if the project exceeds the estimated $5.4M total, the city would be responsible for overages beyond the matched funds.
Public-works staff will coordinate schedule, final contract documents, and public notifications ahead of construction.
