Council amends water‑plant carbon‑replacement budget, adds $5,000 for engineering
Summary
The council increased the water‑plant granular activated carbon replacement budget from $125,000 to $130,000 to cover an additional $5,000 in engineering fees; the motion passed by voice vote.
Council discussed a previously awarded bid of $125,000 for granular activated carbon replacement at the city's water plant and the need to add $5,000 to cover engineering fees.
A council member explained, "So last meeting they amended the budget for the carbon replacement ... based on the bid that we got there of 125,000 and I forgot to add in some engineering fees so we need to add another 5,000." The proposed amendment would increase the line item to $130,000.
A motion to approve the amended budget was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Council did not identify a specific contractor in the public discussion; members indicated the change was purely to account for engineering costs associated with the previously received bid.
