Olney council authorizes solicitation of bids for activated carbon replacement at water plant
Summary
Council authorized staff to solicit bids to replace activated carbon at the city water plant, approving the procurement step by motion and voice vote to move the project into the formal bidding process.
The Olney City Council on Oct. 27 authorized solicitation of bids for activated carbon replacement at the city water plant. Staff indicated the water plant is prepared to proceed with procurement for carbon replacement and asked the council to allow the solicitation process to begin.
A staff member described the item as ready for the procurement process and the council moved, seconded and approved solicitation by voice vote. No contract award or vendor selection occurred at the meeting; the authorization permits staff to advertise and accept bids under the city's procurement rules.
Council members did not identify funding shortfalls for the project during this discussion; any award will be returned to council as required by procurement policy if contract amounts exceed staff authorization thresholds.
