Commission selects Barge for sewer grant and EMC for SEID engineering work
Summary
The commission unanimously approved Barge Design as engineer for a sewer grant and EMC for the SCRC SEID 2025 grant after reviewing River Valley Regional Commission evaluation materials that compared proposals and fees.
During the Jan. 6 meeting commissioners approved two engineering selections tied to grant applications. Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved to select Barge Design as the engineer for the sewer grant; Commissioner Jason Frost seconded and the vote was unanimous.
The commission subsequently approved EMC as the engineer for the SCRC SEID 2025 application by unanimous vote. Packet materials in the meeting record show comparative scoring for multiple firms and note fee differences: Moon Meeks charges a $6,000 preliminary engineering report and 17% of construction for engineering, while EMC listed 9% construction engineering and no preliminary engineering fee. The commission's votes followed the local scoring and recommendation process described by the River Valley Regional Commission guidance included in the packet.
Staff will proceed with contract negotiations and inclusion of the selected firms in grant applications, subject to final terms and any outstanding procurement requirements.
