Council directs bid for 400 North sewer upgrade; developer to pay material difference

Preston City Council · May 12, 2026

Summary

Council authorized staff to prepare bids to repair and upgrade the 400 North sewer line, approving a plan to amend the development agreement so the developer will cover the estimated $14,000 material cost difference between an 8‑inch and 10‑inch pipe.

Council reviewed Keller & Associates’ estimate showing a materials cost difference of about $14,000 to upgrade the 400 North sewer line from an 8‑inch to a 10‑inch internal diameter. Staff said the project will go to bid and Keller & Associates would assist with procurement and project management.

Sean (staff) summarized the estimate: "So the difference between the 8 inch and the 10 inch ... is, $14,000. So we're going from $249,000 to $263,000." Council members agreed to direct staff to prepare bid documents, to require the developer to pay the material‑cost difference in an addendum to the development agreement, and to proceed with procurement. The motion to prepare the bid and amend the agreement carried on a council vote.
