Commission approves VFD blower and pays several engineering invoices tied to wastewater and street projects
Summary
The commission approved payment of multiple Coleman Engineering invoices tied to wastewater and street projects, and approved purchase of a variable-frequency-drive (VFD) blower for the wastewater treatment plant (motion cited about $16,595); staff reported permits and RD budget submission remain pending.
City staff and engineering reported on the wastewater treatment plant improvement project and associated invoices; the commission approved multiple Coleman Engineering invoices and authorized payment for the VFD blower purchase for the treatment plant.
Kelly updated the commission on the wastewater project status, telling commissioners that RD review of the budget submission is pending and that contractor scheduling and permits remain active tasks. On the lead service-line work, staff said contracts were executed and the project is at about 75% of businesses impacted.
Several invoices were moved and approved during the meeting: Coleman Engineering invoice #60965 ($16,675.08) for the wastewater plant; invoice #60966 ($15,046.25) for Washington Street community-facilities work; invoice #60967 ($250) and invoice #60968 (about $5,990.25) for lead service-line work. Separately, commissioners approved the purchase of a VFD blower for the wastewater plant with a motion that cited a figure around $16,595.
Why it matters: the approved invoices and equipment purchase are part of ongoing capital- and utility-maintenance work; staff said the reimbursements and contracts will be handled through packet approvals and expected reimbursements from grant or project programs.
What’s next: staff will finalize permits, track RD approval, process contractor payments after reimbursements are received, and return with any change orders requiring commission sign-off.
