Council approves $30,000 cap amendment for Keller Engineering contract
Summary
Preston council approved an amendment raising the cap on a time‑and‑materials engineering agreement with Keller Engineering from $10,000 to $30,000 to continue plat and infrastructure reviews while the city lacks an on‑staff engineer.
Council approved an amendment to the owner‑consultant agreement with Keller Engineering to raise the contract cap from $10,000 to $30,000 so the firm can continue plat reviews, water model checks, traffic impact statements and other day‑to‑day engineering tasks for the city.
Coulter Hollings of Keller Engineering told the council the original contract began in February 2025 on a time‑and‑materials basis and the team had reached the initial cap. He said the increase is intended to allow continued service while the city handles varying development review workload. Council members clarified the $30,000 figure increases the cumulative cap and does not automatically authorize future unlimited spending; the contract will be revisited if additional funds are needed.
What to know: City staff and council said the work excludes the sewer plant project (which is handled separately) and that staff are drafting code language so developers ultimately bear more review costs in the future.
Vote: The council moved, seconded and approved the amendment during the meeting.
