Commission authorizes construction contract for bundled water CIP projects

Manhattan City Commission · August 18, 2026

Summary

The commission authorized a construction contract that bundles several water capital-improvement projects, with BG Consultants handling design and Schultz Construction awarded the initial building-construction bid; commissioners requested detailed lists of covered CIP items.

City staff described a bundled approach to several water capital-improvement projects and gained commission approval to authorize construction work now while later bids will address remaining project elements.

Randy, the staff presenter, explained that BG Consultants is performing the cumulative design and that the initial building-construction award will go to Schultz Construction. He said the scope includes multiple CIP projects and that "we've added, as I mentioned in the AAS, a seventh project, which would be to replace the security gate at the water treatment plant." Commissioners asked which specific CIP items are covered by the current contract and Randy offered to provide a project list and more details.

The motion to authorize item E1 — the construction contract authorization — passed unanimously (5–0). Staff noted additional bids will follow after permitting and completion of outstanding designs for the remaining CIP elements. Commissioners asked staff to circulate the detailed CIP list so members and the public can see which projects are included.

No funding amounts for the specific contract award were discussed on the record during the meeting; Randy said further particulars could be provided in follow-up materials.
