DEPARTMENT / COMMISSION REPORTS [Action Item]
15. Public Works Department: Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Amendment in the
Amount of $500,000 for Well 17 Water Treatment Facility
Bernt: So, we will move into Department and Commission Reports. Start off with Public
Works Department and Kyle Radek.
Radek: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council Members, Mr. President. This item is a budget
amendment in the amount of 500,000 dollars for Well 17 water treatment. The second
year of this project, which is also the year we will complete it, and we have insufficient
funds at present, after bidding it out. We had five --five contractors bid on the project and
a low bid of 1.3 million dollars. Not a huge spread in the -- in the bids it's so competitive.
However, the -- the -- I guess unprecedented is probably the appropriate word to use in
this -- this bidding environment. We have -- contractors have lots and lots of work to do
and supply chains are experiencing dramatic swings in the ability to provide materials and
the prices of the materials and that's the -- the main reasons why we think these bids are
higher. So, with that I would ask the Mayor and Council to approve the Well 17 Water
Treatment Budget Amendment of 500,000 dollars and I will stand for any questions.
Bernt: Thank you, Kyle. Any questions for Kyle?
Strader: Mr. President?
Bernt: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Good morning, Kyle. Do you think that -- is there a -- I know that we have supply
shortages in a lot of industries. Is there any benefit to waiting and rebidding this project
to see if maybe in six months we get a different outcome?
Radek: Mr. Mayor, Council President, Council Woman Strader, we think that if it were a
different kind of project that might be true. In this case we have a -- we have pre-
purchased the equipment, which is a significant amount -- I think about on the order of
500,000 dollars worth of equipment that we will not only have to store somewhere,
because it's being fabricated right now. We would have to store it somewhere, but, then,
it would affect the warranty of that equipment, so because -- mainly because of that we
recommend -- and because of-- the reason we are doing this project, we -- you know, we
are trying to -- we are trying to clean up the water for our citizens and -- and even -- even
at the higher cost we think that the project is worth -- worth moving forward just on that

basis alone, but because -- mainly because of the equipment issues we think that moving
forward is the right decision.
Strader: Thank you. We are in process already.
Bernt: Any other questions for Kyle?
Hoaglun: Mr. President?
Bernt: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I would move approval of the Public Works 2021 Budget Amendment in the
amount of 500,000 dollars for Well 17 water treatment facility.
Strader: Second the motion.
Bernt: I have a motion and a second to approve Public Works Department budget
amendment in the amount of 500,000 dollars for Well 17 water treatment facility. All those
in favor signify by saying aye. Motion passes.
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
16. Public Works Department: Approval of Award of Bid and Contract
Between City of Meridian and Irminger Construction, Inc. for
Construction of Well 17 Treatment Facility
Bernt: Number 16 is also Kyle.
Radek: And, Mr. Mayor, Mr. President, Council Members, this is just a follow up to the
previous item. This is a request to approve the award of bid and construction to -- contract
to Irminger Construction for Well 17 treatment facility for not to exceed amount of
$1,532,332.24 now that we have that budget amendment first.
Hoaglun: Mr. President?
Bernt: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I move that we approve the award of bid and contract between the City of
Meridian and Irminger Construction, Inc., for construction of Well 17 treatment facility as
-- in the amount as cited by Mr. Radek.
Strader: Second the motion.
Bernt: I have a motion and a second to approve the award contract between the City of
Meridian and Irminger Construction. Any discussion on the motion? All right. Would all
