PassedWater Main Replacement project

The council voted to accept the bid of Koios Engineering Inc. as the lowest bid that met the city's requirements, let the city manager sign a contract and any later written changes to it through the end of the 2025-2026 Water Main Replacement Project No. C7067, up to $3,477,032, which includes $316,094 set aside for extra costs, and move $750,000 in Measure D money to Project No. C7067.
