Awarding additional Water Infrastructure Work under Bid Alternate 2 by Q & D Construction as part of the current and ongoing Water/Sewer Project in the estimated amount of $1,475,583.70, including estimated engineering services cost of $74,000.00.

City Manager Switzer stated the estimated cost to complete the project was provided and most or all of the water infrastructure needs to be replaced. The area that is referenced was not part of the original funding in the amount of $32,000,000.00 and the project did not go far enough to reach to the proposed area based on the water infrastructure not being as old as the other infrastructure being replaced. The City did receive ARPA funding to help with projects that meet three infrastructure criteria, water infrastructure, sewer infrastructure, and broadband infrastructure. City Council could decide to accept, modify, or approve of the proposed quote at another meeting but the cost will increase more than was is proposed if City Council choosing to wait. Councilman Bryant stated he has one concern; the City should go out to bid to compare the quotes for pricing. City Manager Switzer stated the City will use an amount of $750,000.00 from the funds the City currently has. By next July, the City will receive the second allocation in the amount of $2,177,110.32. The proposed project area was left out due to financing reasons. Funds were added in the amount of $500,000.00 to the Special Revenue Fund and $1,600,00.00 went into the Capital Acquisition Fund. Mayor Garry stated if the City has a competitive bidding process, many construction companies are going to be very high. Q & D Construction are here now doing the project.

Councilman Bryant stated the City should expedite the repair as soon as possible in this area and the problem needs to be fixed. It is City Council’s responsibility to move forward. City Manager Switzer stated the City should prefund future issues and if so, the public would need to be present. Councilman Bryant asked if the $500,000 could be moved from the grant funds to another fund. City Manager Switzer stated that could be considered. The City is using part of the funding for road repairs and RTC funds from Lyon County. The Wastewater Treatment Plant needs an upgrade to the system, which is about $800,000.00. The City will budget for the additional allocation in the amount of about $2,177,000.00 in the next fiscal year. The funds need to be obligated by December 2024 and spent by December 2026. Councilman Bryant made a motion to approve awarding the additional water infrastructure work under Bid Alternative 2 under the Water and Sewer Project in the amount of $1,475,583.70 from Q & D Construction, seconded by Councilwoman Catalano.

The quote is a good price right now and the City should not wait. Mr. Dave DeGrendele stated if Public Works Director Flakus and City Manager Switzer stated the work needs to be completed, then the work should be completed. Mayor Garry all asked for comments, no comments were made and the motion was approved unanimously. Mayor Garry stated the City Council meeting was adjourned at 11:58 am for a five- minute break.
